In Europe, many people make friends across the borders between their countries through town twinning. Town or city twinning means two towns in different countries agree and decide to become “twins” with sister city relationship.
Their citizens find pen friends in the twin town. They exchange newspapers and stamps. The school teachers discuss teaching methods with the teachers in the twin town. Officials visit the twin town for celebrations. Ordinary citizens travel to the twin town, too, but not very often if it is far away.
Sometimes, schools even exchange their classes for two or three weeks! For example, German middle school students study for a while at the school in their twin town in Britain, staying with British families. A few months later, their British friends come to study in Germany.
Some towns even arrange exchange visits for theatre groups, choirs（合唱团）and orchestras（管弦乐队）.Others send lecturers to the twin town who tell the people there all about their own town，and show photos and slides.
Town twinning can help make friends and motivate（激励）people to learn from each other.It helps students to improve their language skills，and it contributes to（有助于）strengthening peace and understanding between different nations.

In 2009, the Taiwu Elementary School Folk Singers were invited to perform in Belgium, France, Germany, and Luxemburg.In 2011, they were voted as one of the world's top five performance groups by audiences of Japan Broadcasting Corporation's Amazing Voice program.
Thinking back the group's first tour in Europe, Camake Valaule, a physical education teacher and the founder of the Taiwu Elementary School Folk Singers, admitted that he felt very nervous.He was worried that the audience would fall asleep since most of the 75?minute performance was a cappella, that is, singing without instrumental（乐器的）sound. Surprisingly, the audience listened with full focus and high spirits.Camake said, “They told me afterward that through our performance, they had a vision of our country, our village, without having to visit it.This experience greatly increased our confidence.”
According to Camake Valaule, singing traditional ballads（歌谣）has helped students and their parents to re?understand their culture.“It used to be that the only ones who could sing these songs were tribal（部落的） elders aged between 50 and 60.Now with the children performing the pieces, parents are beginning to ask, ‘Why do we not know how to sing these ballads?’ Many times nowadays, it is the children who teach the songs to their parents, putting back the pieces of a blurred memory.”
Winning international fame, however, was neither the original intention nor the main reason why Camake founded the group in 2006.The most important thing was to make children understand why they sing these songs and to preserve and pass on their culture. Referring to the relocation of Taiwu Elementary School and Taiwu Village following Typhoon Morakot in August 2009, Camake said, “We could not take the forest or our houses in the mountains with us; but we were able to bring our culture along.As long as the children are willing to sing, I will always be there for them, singing with them and leading them to experience the meaning of the ballads.”
28．Which of the following is true about Taiwu Elementary School Folk Singers?
A．The group was first established in 2009.
B．The group was founded by a PE teacher.
C．The singers usually sing popular folk songs.
D．The singers learn to sing from their parents.
29．On his first trip to Europe, why did Camake think the audience might fall asleep?
A．The average age of the audience was between fifty and sixty.
B．Most of the performance was not accompanied by any instrument.
C．Nobody could understand the language and the meaning of the songs.
D．The audience could not visualize the theme sung by the school children.
30．What does the underlined part “the pieces of a blurred memory” in the third paragraph most likely refer to?
A．The fading memories about old tribal people.
B．The children's ignorance of their own tradition.
C．The broken pieces of knowledge taught at school.
D．The parents' vague understanding of their own culture.
31．What did Camake realize after the incident of Typhoon Morakot?
A．The significance of the relocation of Taiwu Elementary School.
B．The need to respect nature to avoid being destroyed by it.
C．The importance of passing on the traditional culture.
D．The consequence of building houses in the forest.
D
A recent experiment held in Japan shows that it is almost impossible for people to walk exactly straight for 60 meters. Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology found 20 healthy men and asked them to walk as straight as possible to a target 60 meters away at normal speed. Each man had to walk on white paper fixed flat to the floor wearing wet coloured socks. The footprints revealed that all walked in a winding rather than a straight line.
Researchers found that people readjust（重新调整）the direction of walking every few seconds. The amount of the winding differed from?subject?to subject. This suggests that none of us can walk in a strictly straight line. We walk in a winding way mainly because of a slight structural or functional imbalance of our limbs (四肢). Although we may start walking in a straight line, several steps afterwards we have changed direction.?
Eyesight helps us to correct the direction of walking and leads you to the target. Your ears also help you walk. After turning around a lot with your eyes closed, you can hardly stand still, let alone walk straight.
It’s all because your ears help you balance. Inside your inner ear there is a structure which contains liquids. On the sides of the organ are many tiny hair-like structures that move around as the liquid flows. When you spin (旋转) the liquid inside also spins. The difference is that when you stop, the liquid continues to spin for a while. Dizziness (眩晕) is the result of these nerves in your ear. When you open your eyes, although your eyesight tells you to walk in a straight line, your brain will trust your ears more, and thus you walk in a curved line.
32.The experiment held in Japan proved that ____________.
A. the participants kept readjusting their direction of walking
B. all the participants had a good sense of direction
C. the experiment was done in different ways
D. none of the participants finished the 60 meters
33.What helps to readjust our walking direction?
A. Limbs.?B. Ears.?C. Eyesight.?D. Footprints.
34.The underlined word?“subject”?in Paragraph 1 refers to ___________.
A. a person with a functional imbalance
B. a person chosen to be studied in an experiment
C. the subject one studies at school
D. the direction of walking
35.?The purpose of writing the article is to __________.
A. prove that ears can help us to walk straight
B. explain why we can hardly walk in a strictly straight line
C. point out the importance of noticing everyday science
D. tell us if we try, we can walk in a straight line
