11．Most people have some common sense．When we see something suspicious on TV，in the newspaper，or on the Internet，we roll our eyes and wonder how anyone could believe something so stupid．Nevertheless，there are stories that even educated people still believe．These tales may or may not be true，but they leave us wondering whether they are real or not．On National Geographic Channel，these stories are dissected（剖析） in full detail in the series Is It Real．
Thousands of years ago，aliens landed on the Earth．They tampered （破壞） with the evolution of humans and the results of this can be seen practically everywhere．Sound ridiculous？Not to some people．Believe it or not，there are those who believe that alien astronauts had a hand in making the human race what it is today．Travel back in time with Ancient Astronauts and visit our"alien ancestors"．
In the autumn of 1888，Jack the Ripper roamed（漫游） the streets of London's East End．After his reign（統(tǒng)治） of terror was over，five women had been killed．To this day，the mystery of who killed these ladies remains unsolved．No one knows for sure，but the truth may be revealed on Jack the Ripper．
Vampires（吸血鬼）．Just the thought of these fictional beasts is enough to make your blood run cold．While we may think that they only come to life in books and movies，vampires are actually based on real people．Historians，folklorists，scientists and doctors all work together to investigate the plausibility（合理性） of vampires．Take a bite into this juicy mystery on Vampires．
No other channel can offer this type of programming other than National Geographic Channel．In this unique series，they've stripped away 12 myths that have stood the test of time to expose the truth and find out the answer to the question-Is it real？

Over the last year，micro-blogging has become wildly popular in China，with some 65 million China based micro-blog accounts registered by the end of 2010 and the number is growing by more than 10 million each month，according to Data Center of the China Internet （DCCI）．
At present，China's largest web portal Sina claims （宣稱） to have 5，000 company micro-blog users，including Starbucks，Channel，and IKEA．On the micro-blog pages of the companies，visitors can not only view advertisements，but also see customers'feedback （反饋）．

Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world．That means many people are competing for the same things，like good jobs．They say that to be successful，a person has to work like a dog．This means they have to work very，very hard．Such hard work can make people dog-tired．And，the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog．
Still，people say every dog has its day．This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life．To be successful，people often have to learn new skills．Yet，some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks．They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things．

Dog expressions also are used to describe the weather．The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year．A rainstorm may cool the weather．But we do not want it to rain too hard．We do not want it to rain cats and dogs．
28．A person who lives an unhappy life can be described as"B"．

3．As I drive about the Sois in rural Thailand I catch little glimpses of things that barely register on the mind as the scenery flies by； strange things，beautiful things，sad things，interesting things．I wish I could hold on to these scenes； explore them in detail．I wish that I had the time to stop and investigate further as I'm driving by，but time is a commodity（商品）worth more than all the moneys in the world．I wish I had more．
I once had a guy wave to me as I passed him．He yelled out something，almost in greeting，as if he knew me．I wonder if we knew each other once，in another place，another time，and he recognized my soul as I drove by in the truck，and just had to yell a hello．I wish I had stopped and said hello too．
I saw two young girls，dressed in school uniforms．White blouses，blue skirts，books in hand．They were holding hands，talking，walking down the road，jostling（推，搡） each other with their shoulders and teasing each other as they strolled along．As I passed the one closest to the truck looked up．She was close enough to touch almost．Her smiling face，her clear eyes and golden smooth skin are there in my mind's eye now．I can see her as if she were standing next to me．Once in a while herface just pops into my head．Why？Why is she still there？Sometimes I think maybe I'm a bit mad．
I stopped at a road stop on a corner one time．An old lady standing by the roadside walked over to the truck and put her hand on my arm and smiled at me．Her palm was so cool．It must have been a hundred degrees out that day．She said something in Thai and giggle （咯咯地笑） and walked away．Who was she？Why did she touch me？Why was her hand so cool？Why did I just sit there and let her touch me？I didn't flinch（退縮） away．It was almost as if I knew her，and we were just saying a quick hello．Her cool touch almost seemed familiar； like my long dead grandmother's soothing cool touch remembered from when I was just a little boy．
I need more time．I need to stop the truck more often，and just say hello．Things glimpsed along the road are often far more interesting and wonderful than that which seems to consume our daily lives．Slow down．Stop the truck．Get out，and say hello．
24．What kind of life does the writer normally lead？A
A．Busy．
B．Tiring．
C．Meaningless．
D．Boring．
25．The man （ in Paragraph Two） yelled out because heC．
