Ive been
17、 studying 31 for over 30 years, says Mihaly. My 32 in the subject came from my own experience as a child during World War II, when I saw many adults 33 by the terrible events. But there were always a few who 34 their courage, helped others, and were able to give a sense of 35 and meaning to their li

26、unt. She loved it so much that she saved her money for three years to buy her first small sailing boat. When she was 18, she sailed alone around Britain and won the Young Sailor of the Year award.But Ellen really became famous in 2001. Aged only 24, she was one of only two women who entered the Vend
27、ee Globe round the world solo race, which lasts 100 days. Despite many problems, she came second in the race out of 24 competitors and she was given a heroines welcome when she returned.Ambition and determination have always been a big part of Ellens personality. When she was younger, she lived in a
28、 kind of hut for three years while she was trying to get sponsorship to compete in a transatlantic race. Then she took a one-way ticket to France, bought a tiny seven metre Classe Mini yacht, slept under it while she was repairing it, and then she raced it 4,000 kilometres across the Atlantic in 199
29、7, alone for 33 days.Ellen has had to learn many things, because sailing single-handed means that she has to be her own captain, electrician, sailmaker, engineer, doctor, journalist, cameraman and cook. She also has to be very fit, and because of the dangers of sleeping for long periods of time when
30、 shes in the middle of the ocean, she has trained herself to sleep for about 20 minutes a time.And she needs courage. Once, in the middle of the ocean, she had to climb the mast of her boat to repair the sails at four oclock in the morning, and with 100 kph winds blowing around her. It took her many
31、 hours to make the repairs; Ellen says: I was exhausted when I came down. Its hard to describe how it feels to be up there. Its like trying to hold onto a big pole, which for me is just too big to get my arms around, with someone kicking you all the time and trying to shake you off.But in her diary,
32、 Ellen also describe moments which make it all worthwhile: A beautiful sunrise started the day, with black clouds slowly lit by the bright yellow sun. I have a very strong feeling of pleasure, being out here on the ocean and having the chance to live this. I just feel lucky to be here.51.Ellen bough
33、t her first sailing boat _ .A. soon after going out sailing trips with her auntB. when she was about elevenC. when she won the Young Sailor of the Year award D. when she was able to sail alone52.Ellen lived in a hut for three years because _ .A.she was training herself to be physically strong enough
34、B.she enjoyed a simple way of lifeC.she wanted to show people her personalityD.she wanted to save enough money to compete in a race53.Why does she only sleep for about twenty minutes at a time?A.Because she cant sleep long alone.B.Because she was not fit enough to sleep longer.C.Because she had a pr
35、oblem in sleeping.D.Because dangers might occur while she was asleep.54.From the passage, we can infer that _ .A. Ellen learned a lot from her auntB. Ellen could cook very wellC. Ellen enjoyed the life on the seaD. Ellen repaired the sails by herselfBLionel Messi became a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador
36、in March 2010. What does that mean, you ask? Read and find out!In the 1950s, the United Nations had an idea: Why not use celebrities to help promote childrens rights? So they created the idea of UNICEF (the UN childrens fund) ambassadors. Ever since then, hundreds of sports, music and film stars hav
37、e been seen spreading the word for the international peace organization at photo calls all over the world.A lot of stars are brought in independently by the various UN agencies. The UN Development Programme uses Ronaldo, the Brazilian footballer, to draw peoples attention to poor children. And the r
38、efugee (难民)agency UNHCR uses Angelina Jolie to focus on people made homeless because of war. These days, Angelina is probably as famous for her humanitarian work as she is for her acting!But perhaps the agency most represented by the stars is UNICEF. There are lots of stars who are Goodwill Ambassad
39、ors for UNICEF: for example, footballer David Beckham, singer Shakira and actor Susan Sarandon. There are also celebrities used to promote one-off projects every now and then: pop singer Robbie Williams has given several concerts for UNICEF even though he isnt Goodwill Ambassador. The UN has got off
40、ices in more than 200 countries, so of course its important that they are represented by an international mix of celebrities. And some of their most important stars, like West African singer, Angelique Kidjo, arent exactly household names in many parts of the world.They have to be very careful to ch
41、oose the right people. UNICEF looks for celebrities who havent just made it big, but who are also probably going to stay famous for quite a few years to come. We cant have someone who has just enjoyed success for a few minutes and then disappeared. a spokeswoman said. In the same way, the star has t
42、o want to do more than just look caring in front of the camera. Our celebrities do it because they really care about children, says the spokeswoman. They should have the power to draw the cameras but without wanting the attention for themselves.So, now you know thats what Goodwill Ambassadors do!55.
43、UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador is intended for _ .A. people who help poor children around the worldB. footballers who can play as well as MessiC. celebrities who spread the name of UNICEF worldwideD. celebrities who care about childrens rights56.Angelina Jolie is famous for _ .A. being an ambassador of
44、UNICEF B. drawing peoples attention to poor childrenC. raising money for good causes D. performing well in many films57.Angelique Kidjo is selected to represent UNICEF because _ .A. she is more famous than Susan Sarandon B. she is a world-known singerC. she is popular in West AfricaD. she did a lot
45、to help poor children58.UNICEF thinks Lionel Messi _ .A. is and will be a super star in the world B. is a promising young footballer for the futureC. needs help from UNICEFD. draws attention in front of the cameraCAt first it was only kings who were recognized as important enough to have a birthday
46、celebration. To protect them, friends and family would visit the king and bring good thoughts and birthday wishes.As time went by, children became included in birthday celebrations. The tradition of childrens birthday parties first started in Germany.One of the largest private birthday parties that
47、ever happened was in 1970 for Colonel Harland Sanders (the founder of KFC) 80th birthday it was attended by over 35,000 people.Many centuries ago, birthdays were considered a time when the bad spirits were able to harm you. It was believed that you should have your friends and family around you, so
48、that their good wishes and present-giving would keep the bad spirits away. The custom of lighting candles also had a spiritual origin. People believed that the gods lived in the sky, and that by lighting candles and torches, people were sending a signal or prayer to the gods.Later on, candles starte
49、d to be used to decorate birthday cakes. One theory about the origin of the birthday cake is that it started with the Greeks, who baked round cakes representing the full moon for their moon goddess, Artemis. They also placed candles on the cake to make it glow, again like the moon.However, the Germa
50、ns are also credited with the first cakes and candles. They used a sweet cake and they put a large candle in the centre of the cake to represent the light of life.The Happy Birthday song is more than a hundred years old. The music was written in 1893 by two sisters, Patty and Mildred Hill, who were
51、schoolteachers in Louisville, Kentucky. The music was originally a morning greeting to their students entitled Good Morning To All. In 1935 the words were copyrighted (that is, the words legally belonged to the Hill sisters), and copyright has been bought and sold in multi-million dollar deals ever
52、since. The current copyright is owned by Warner Communications. They bought it in 1989 for more than $22 million.Happy Birthday to You is recognized around the world and has been translated into many different languages. And children still love to make new versions of it.59. Long ago people had frie
53、nds and families with them on their birthdays in order to _ .A. get more presentsB. keep the bad spirits awayC. light the candlesD. celebrate the party together60. The Greeks put candles on their cakes because they wanted to _ .A. see where the cakes wereB. make the cakes shineC. know how old they w
54、ereD. make them look like the moon61. Why did the Hill sisters first write their song?A. To hold its copyright.B. To help people sing songs in their birthday parties.C. To say hello to their students in the morning.D. To celebrate the schools birthday.62. Which of the following statements is NOT a f
55、act about birthday?A. Kings were the first people to celebrate birthdays.B. German children celebrated birthday parties first.C. The Happy Birthday song has got only two owners.D. Children like to rewrite the Happy Birthday song.DJuan Cabello takes pride in not using a mobile phone or the internet t
56、o communicate. Instead, he whistles.Cabello, 50, is a silbador on tiny, mountainous La Gomera, one of Spains Canary Islands off West Africa. Like his father and grandfather before him, he knows Silbo Gomero, a language that is whistled, not spoken, and can be heard more than two miles away. This unu
57、sual way of communicating is said to have arrived with early African settlers 2,500 years ago. Now, educators are working hard to save it from extinction by making school children study the language up to the age of fourteen.Silbo, which comes from the Spanish silbar (meaning to whistle), can be use
58、d to form more than 4,000 words. I use it for everything: to talk to my wife, to tell my kids something, to find a friend if we get lost in a crowd. Cabello says. In fact, he makes a living from Silbo, performing daily exhibitions at a restaurant on this island of 220 square kilometres and 19,000 pe
59、ople.People throughout La Gomera are known to have used Silbo in the past as a way of communicating over long distances. A strong whistle saved farmers from going over the hills to give messages or news to neighbors. Then came the phone. Nowadays, its hard to know how many people still use Silbo. In
60、 1999, it was introduced as a compulsory subject in La Gomeras primary schools, in an effort to prevent the language from becoming extinct. Now 3,000 students are studying it, but only a few people are believed to be able to communicate fully in the whistling language. Silbo is said to be the most i
61、mportant cultural heritage we have. said Moises Plasencia, the director of the Canary Islands governments historical heritage department.It might seem appropriate for a language that sounds like birdsong to exist in the Canary Islands, but there is thought to be no connection between the islands nam
62、e and the birdsong-like way of communicating. In fact, little is known about Silbos origins. Silbo-like whistling has been found in parts of Greece, Turkey, China and Mexico, but none is as developed as Silbo Gomero. One study is looking for signs of Silbo in Venezuela, Cuba and Texas, all places to
63、 which Gomerans have emigrated in the past during hard economic times.Now Plasencia is heading an effort to get UNESCO to declare it a cultural heritage and to support efforts to save it. Silbo is so unique, and it has many historical and linguistic values, he said. And, as Cabello explains, Its goo
64、d for just about anything except for romance: everyone on the island would hear what youre saying!63.How did Silbo came into being on the island, La Gomera?A. Taught to the local people by the Spanish.B. Created by the islanders themselves.C. Brought there with the early African settlers.D. Learned
65、from birds thousands of years ago.64.Farmers in La Gomera used Silbo in the past because _ .A. they were too poor to afford phones. B. they could communicate over long distances.C. they couldnt speak any other language. D. their fathers asked them to do so.65.According to the passage, Silbo can poss
66、ibly be found in other countries like _ .A. SpainB. ChinaC. GreeceD. Cuba66.Moises Plasencia tried to save Silbo by _ .A. teaching young people how to use SilboB. leading an effort to make Silbo a cultural heritageC. finding more people who can speak Silbo wellD. telling romantic stories in SilboEWh
67、en Danny Wallace, 26, got bored, he put an ad on the worldwide web reading simply: Join Me. Send a passport photo. A year and a half later his east London flat is the headquarters for a global internet-based club whose members carry out good deeds for strangers every Friday.Its not common for people
68、 in London to talk to strangers. If you see someone struggling with something, part of the brain goes “I want to help”. But the trained part of the brain says：“They will think you are mad or going to mug them”, so you walk away.Join Me now has about 3,000 members around the world who do an act of ki
69、ndness every Friday. For example, Im usually out on a Friday so I go for one of the standard acts the unexpected cup of coffee. You might be sitting in a cafe and see an old man in the corner drinking coffee or tea, and you walk up with another cup of whatever they are drinking , and say：“ Ive bough
70、t you a coffee” and walk away. Its a pleasure to see the look of surprise on their faces. There can be some suspicion, but I think that was mostly in the early days when I didnt know how to do it properly. I would walk up quite nervously like I was doing something wrong and I didnt know when to leav
71、e. In the end, I learned through trial and error. Sometimes it worked, other times it didnt. I discovered that you have to walk up with confidence and humour and not “get in their faces”. You say: “This is for you”, then you go. Its hit-and-run kindness. And there is no point in doing it half-hearte
72、dly. Youve got to do it because you really mean it.Join Me is without geographical boundaries, but there are quite a few members in London, and such stories about things happen on the Underground or on the buses. One lady got on the bus and put a 10 note down and said：“Thats for me and the next nine
73、 people”. So at every stop, anyone who got on was told it was paid for. A lot of people were doing this sort of thing anyway. For them its an excuse or reason to do something nice for a complete stranger, and it gives them the confidence to walk up and start chatting.67. When Londoners see someone i
74、n trouble, they _ .A. often give a handB. stop and ask questionsC. pretend not seeing itD. telephone the police68. According to the passage, members of Join Me often _ .A. do an act of kindness every FridayB. put an advertisement on the worldwide webC. go out and make friends with strangersD. buy co
