20、ng happened to teach me never to do it again. It was not the police. Rather it was an unforgettable, and unpleasant, experience.It happened one evening when my friend Segaran and I wanted to go and visit another friend who lived some distance away. I had a bicycle. Segaran did not. So, as usual, he
21、sat side-saddle on the horizontal bar of the bicycle while I pedalled. We had done it many times before, so it should not be any problem.Near my friends house, we got onto a gravel(碎石) path made slippery by the recent rain. Still we managed to move along, thoroughly enjoying the rough ride.As we pas
22、sed by a stream, I made the mistake of going too near the bank. The rain had softened the soil and it could not hold our combined weight. One moment we were going along merrily, the next we were tumbling head over heels into the stream.Splash! Splash! Splash! We plunged into the river bicycle first,
23、 followed by Segaran, then me. Normally the stream is only a few centimetres deep with clear water. When we fell in, it was a metre deep with smelly black water. The water prevented us from getting badly injured but we also had to pay the price of swallowing some of it. It tasted horrible. Segaran g
24、ot the worst of it for being sandwiched between the bicycle and me. Our pride was far more hurt.We walked all the way home. I had to push the bicycle because its front wheel was bent out of shape.

After the last paragraphBA listener from Brazil recently wrote to us asking for some advice. Hes planning a trip to the United States, and w
28、anted to know about the best places to travel in America. Today, we tell about the most popular places to visit in the country, and hear about what makes them so appealing. Each of the 50 states in America has interesting things to offer visitors, but some are more popular than others. Washington, D
29、.C. is famous for its historical places, like the White House and the Lincoln Memorial. Visitors to Los Angeles, California can see the Hollywood Walk of Fame or shop the stores on Rodeo Drive where they may see a star or two. The Grand Canyon in Arizona appeals to hikers, climbers and nature lovers
30、, as does Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Trip Advisor is a website where people can write reviews about their travel experiences. There are also ratings for hotels, restaurants, and places people have visited around the world. Every year, Trip Advisor makes a list of the top 25 cities to visi
31、t in the United States. The results are based on the opinions of visitors to the website. Americas major cities are still the most popular destinations for visitors. This is probably because of the good quality of services they provide tourists. “They do a great job of giving travelers what they wan
32、t when theyre on vacation. I think they kind of cater to every type of traveler need. So whether youre traveling alone, youre traveling for business, youre traveling with your family - whatever it is, those destinations are really tuned in to delivering amazing experiences and just a lot of differen

Its Tourists Who Decide Where to GoCchemistrynerd US High School TeacherAs a science teacher, I also want to incorporate literacy(读写能力) an
36、d reading into science. I thought it would be cool to have something called “Article Fridays” (or monthly, and maybe a more creative name) where students read articles and summarize them on different chemistry topics that they find interesting. Id have a couple students each time share what they fou
37、nd, and theyd all hand them in. I work on a block schedule(模块教学计划) so Im not sure exactly how this would work. Does anyone have creative ideas on how to get kids thinking of science thats in the real world? Id probably do this with my Honors or AP classes. Caesar753 I like the idea, but not for just
38、 Honors/AP. I think that all students can work on improving their literacy. Besides, this is a good way to connect your content to current events. Youll need to find high-interest articles that grab their attention and keep it. Im not sure that I would devote an entire block to this activity because
39、 it might get boring even with high-interest articles. Myrisophilist High school Life Science Im really into literacy and science as well, so PM me about it anytime! Do your students have Internet access in the classroom? If so, that opens up a world of resources. I put a ton of resources seeds on m

43、 without _. A. newspapers B. the InternetC. block schedules D. other teachers helpDHair has always been an important sign of beauty. This is especially true for women. Next to the face, hair is one of the main qualities people look for when they consider a womans beauty. Whether long or short, curly
44、 or straight, hair often gets a lot of attention. Each hair on a persons head grows from a single tube-like hole in the skin called a follicle. People are born with all of the hair follicles they are ever going to have. The average person has about one hundred thousand hair follicles. They begin to
45、form around the third month of pregnancy. Each hair grows independently of other hairs. There are three periods of hair growth. Not all hairs experience the same period of growth at the same time. The period of active growth is called Anagen. During this period, hair grows at a rate of about three t
46、enths millimeters a day, or one centimeter a month. About 85 percent of hair follicles are going through this process at any given time. This period can last from two to six years. The Catagen period of hair growth comes next. It is then that hair growth begins to slow down. This period usually last
47、s two or three weeks. Finally, hair growth comes to a complete stop and the hairs begin to fall out. This period is known as Telogen. It affects about 15 percent of all hairs at a time. On average, a person loses between 50 and 100 hairs every day. Since each hair grows at a different rate, this pro
48、cess is overlooked. Once the Telogen period has ended, the hair growth process begins again. 48. What does the underlined word “They” in the 2nd paragraph refer to? A. The babiesB. The hairsC. The follicles D. The pregnant women49. Anagen is the period when _. A. hairs grow the fastest B. hairs grow

50、wth? A. Anagen Telogen CatagenB. Anagen Catagen Telogen C. AnagenD. Anagen Catagen Telogen Telogen CatagenEUndoubtedly there are a few positive characters who are able to “rise above” their environment, who are able to impress the people with whom they come in contact in spite of their clothes. Some
51、times we read of some learned woman, who has “made good in her profession,” who says that she has not looked in a mirror for years; but such a woman is a rare exception, and one is not safe in gambling(赌博) with ones chances of success by following her. It is not the positive characters with whom we
52、are concerned, however, for they are few and somehow manage to take care of themselves. The vast majority of the race are not so blessed, and we need to observe but little to realize that with them the reaction of clothes is an important factor. School girls should know that clothes may make a caree
53、r; happiness and leadership in all the years of high school and college life may be affected by the story a Freshmans clothes tell. Many a girl with a keen mind, who has a natural disregard for clothes, perhaps, or who has not been trained in the appreciation of beauty in clothes, has lost her oppor
54、tunities for leadership and self-expression which by right her brain power should have given her. One of the mental capacities which we all exercise and yet exercise most unconsciously is that of passing judgment on the people we meet. In a majority of cases the judgment is superficial(肤浅的) and inac
55、curate; but the estimate is made. Some people may not get their final judgment till they hear one talk and will judge one by the tone of voice and by what is said as the true index; but the vast majority will form an opinion based largely, if not entirely, on appearance. One tells the world daily of
56、 ones ideals, ambitions or good breeding through dress; and it is told so plainly that “he who runs may read” and, perhaps, he who reads may run. 52. According to the first two paragraphs, few people _. A. care about their appearances B. understand the art of dressing themselves C. can catch others
57、attention by dressing plainly D. are able to dress properly without professional directions53. Who is the text intended for? A. Book writersB. WomenC. MenD. Fashion designers54. The author thinks it is _ for most of us to judge the people we meet by what they wear. A. naturalB. foolishC. surprisingD
