3．In a faraway area in northern Mexico，there lives a native Indian group called the Tarahumaras（塔拉烏馬拉族）．Besides owning some cooking tools and farming equipment，the Tarahumaras exist much as they did before the Spanish arrived in the 1600s．They live in caves or in small houses made of stone and wood，and they eat what little they can grow on the dry land．
Ten years ago，linquist（語言學(xué)家） James Copeland entered the world of the Tarahumaras t study their language and culture．Since then，he has been visiting the Tarahumaras three or four times a year．Tarahumaras is not a written language，so part of Copeland's project was to learn to speak Tarahumaras so that he could deal directly with the people．"There are no language police，"Copeland says．"Children are seldom corrected by their parents．They learn by observation of speech in conversations and by imitation．"
Copeland learned the language through his frequent exposure to it and by analyzing the grammar．His linguistic skills and mastery of German，Spanish，F(xiàn)rench and Russian，plus a partial knowledge of some twenty other languages，also helped．Drawing on his research，Copeland plans to produce a Tarahumara grammar book in English and perhaps one in Spanish．
The idea to study the Tarahumaras came to Copeland in 1984when he discovered that very little research had been done on their language．He got in touch with a Tarahumaras Indian called Lornezo Gonzalez through a social worker who worked with the Tarahumaras in the border town of Juarez，Mexico．At first，Gonzalez was very reluctant  to cooperate．He told Copeland that no amount of money could buy his language．But after Copeland explained to him what he intended to do with his research and how it would benefit the Tarahumaras，Gonzalez agreed to help and took Copeland to his village．"Thanks to him，the Tarahumaras started trusting us and understood what we were doing．"

29．What can we learn about the Tarahumaras？B
A．They have a strict education system．

17．A little girl lived in a small，very simple，poor house on a hill and as she grew she would play in the small garden．There，she was able to see over the garden fence and across the valley to a wonderful house high on the hill．This house had golden windows，so golden and shining that the little girl would dream of how magic it would be to grow up and live in a house with golden windows instead of an ordinary house like hers．Although she loved her parents and her family，she yearned （渴望） to live in such a golden house and dreamed all day about how wonderful and exciting it must feel to live there．
When she got to an age when she gained enough skill and sensibility to go outside her garden fence，she asked her mother if she could go for a bike ride outside the gate and down the lane．After pleading （懇請） with her，her mother finally allowed her to go，insisting that she should keep close to the house and not wander too far．The day was beautiful and the little girl knew exactly where she was heading!Down the lane and across the valley，she rode her bike until she got to the gate of the golden house across on the other hill．
As she dismounted （下車） her bike and leaned it against the gate post，she focused on the path that led to the house and then on the house itself．She was so disappointed as she realized all the windows were plain and rather dirty，reflecting nothing other than the sad neglect of the house that was derelict （無主的）．
So sad she didn't go any further and turned，and heart broken as she remounted her bike．As she glanced up she saw a sight to amaze her．There across the way on her side of the valley was a little house and its windows glistened （閃耀） golden as the sun shone on her little home．
She realized that she had been living in her golden house and all the love and care she found there was what made her home the'golden house'．Everything she dreamed was right there in front of her nose!

16．Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it？Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind．（61）DStart writing．
 By putting thoughts into words，you are telling yourself the logic behind what you think，feel，or only partly understand．（62）B  
  （63）FMany，if not most，hifhly productive people are always taking notes．You can try keeping of it all in your head，but if you keep a journal of your ideas---the next time you're working on a big project，you'll probably have more success．
  Want to understand a topic？（64）AThat's an extreme example，but if you are learning something new，write a letter to a friend about it，and you will understand it better．Want to invent something？Write an explanation of the problem---why you want to solve it，and why it is worth solving，and you're half-way there．
  Writers don't always write because they clearly understand something before hand．Often，they write about something because they want to understand it．You can do the same．（65）EGive it a try．

A．Write a book about it．
B．In other words，you increase your brain power by exercising your"explain power"
C．Everyone needs to write a book．

14．On the morning of Apr.20，different from any other Saturdays，a powerful earthquake which measured 7.0 magnitude occurred in Ya'an，Sichuan Province．The quake happened close to the area where 70，000 died when another powerful hit took place in 2008．The 4.20 earthquake shook Sichuan with 208 people missing or dead．Nearly 14，000 are reported to have been injured．Thousands of buildings collapsed，leaving victims homeless．Water and electricity supplies were cut off，which left concerns about the welfare of the survivors．In Lushan，where the most of the damage was concentrated，facilities of communication broke down．Victims lost contact with the outside world．
All the country have been shocked at the tragic news．Numerous relief is pouring in from all over Chinato the victims of the Lushan earthquake．Governments of all levels have taken some efficient measures to relieve the impact of earthquake．On Sunday，Chinese Premier Li Keqiang made it to the worst-stricken Lushan，issuing several statements to ensure rescuing the buried and other injured people．Meanwhile，he visited some of those being treated for their injuries in the temporary hospitals set up with an open-air emergency facility．Rows of Red Cross tents are now home to some of the thousands left homeless by this deadly earthquake．State media says thousands of troops along with volunteers help with the rescue operation and to hand out supplies．
People from across the country are called on to donate to relieve and help rebuild the earthquake-hit area．Lots of students ranging from university students to kindergarten kids have given away their pocket money just to do their own bit in this relief campaign．Hong Kong special government at first proposed to donate 100 million HONG Kong dollars，which was rejected by some of members of government's parliament（議員），who questioned whether China's Red Cross could put every cent into practical use honestly，for in 2008 Wenchuan earthquake China's Red Cross failed to make it clear how they spent the charity money．Anyway the proposal was at last passed on May 3．At the same time，China's Red Cross，determined to make a bit change，promised to give a detailed account of where every cent would go．
