The dance slowly spread and grew in popularity．Then，in the 1930s，the famous dance teacher Monsieur Pierre saw the Rumba being danced in New York and he decided it was so exiting and interesting it should be danced in London，too．（39）Atoday there are several types of Rumba people dance．Some dance a type of Rumba that is very fast and features big movements．（40）CNo matter what type of Rumba people dance，the story the dance tells is still the same：the love between a man and a woman．

"I thought it would be a really good experience to go with other friends and teachers to another country in an environment other than a vacation environment，"the 1-year-old said．
A few months later，Emily got her chance when she and 14 of her classmates，along with biology teacher Tamara Pennington went to Costa Rica for eight days in late May．
"It was not just a tour，"said Pennington，who organized the trip．"You can go to any place in the world on just a tour．This one was practical，really working with the sea turtles and practicing conservation （保護(hù)）．It just seemed like the perfect science field trip for kids who think they want to get into science to see what it's really like to be out in the field and enjoy themselves．"
Emily said her time on the turtle project，which was the focus of the trip，was"crazy"．"We were walking on the beach at night and you can't see anything-just see a big black dot （點(diǎn)），"she said with a laugh．"I was not expecting the turtles to be that big．"The turtles are leatherback turtles，which are becoming extinct because their eggs are used as food．
"When they would move their legs while laying their eggs they were really hard to control because th ey were a lot more powerful than you would imagine，"Emily said．
Once the eggs were collected，the students took them back to a hatchery （孵化場(chǎng)） and dug holes to copy the hole the mother turtle had made and then buried the eggs for the 60 days needed to hatch．
"It was an amazing experience，"Emily said．"You go to another country to see what their culture is like and learn what their everyday lives are like．It made me really want to help out my mom a lot more than I do，and value what I have．"

18．（36）FYou probably think you will never be a top student．This is not necessarily so．However，anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to．Here is how：
Plan your time carefully．When planning your work，you should make a list of things that you have to do．After making this list，you should make a schedule of your time．First your time for eating，sleeping，dressing，etc．Then decide a good，regular time for studying．（37）CA weekly schedule may not solve all your problems，but it will force you realize what is happening to your time．
Find a good place to study． Look around the house for a good study area．Keep this space，which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room，free of everything but study materials．No games，radios，or television．When you sit down to study，concentrate on the subject．
Make good use of your time in class． （38）DListening carefully in class means less work later．Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says．

Develop a good attitude towards tests． The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject．They help you remember your new knowledge．The world won't end if you don't pass a test，so don，t be over worried．

17．China is a country on the move-especially around its Lunar New Year holiday．This year，the holiday crush（客流量）promises to be even heavier than before．
Government officials estimate that Chinese people will take to the air，roads and railways 3.62 billion times over a 40-day period around the nation's most important holiday this year as people push their way home for family gatherings or to satisfy their new-found passion for travel．
Getting tickets to all those would-be travelers is a discounting challenge that annually tries patience．And it is the railway system that routinely is most unable to cope．Railways are the transport of choice for low-cost long-distance travel，and that's where the ticketing system routinely falls down．
Much of the criticism has，focused on the railway's-online purchasing system．Which has been unable to keep pace with the huge demand and also failed to stop scalpers（票販子）from ending up with many of the hard-to-find tickets．
While insist ing that online sales were the fairest way to get tickets for travelers，railway official s told reporters that the public need to be patient．Efforts were being made to provide online identity checks that would reduce the ticket scalping problems．While officials had little good news for rail passengers，they did manage to bring a few smiles to those traveling by car as the country's extremely expensive highway tolls （通行費(fèi)）will be free of charge for the period of the official holiday．

32．Which of the following words can replace the underlined word"discounting"in Paragraph 3？A
A．Discouraging．
B．Promising．

D．Rewarding．
33．According to the text，getting ticketsDaround the official holiday．

16．I would like to say something about my first volunteer job when I （61）was（be） a freshman and what I have learned from that．It was at a local library．I put books in order，registered（登記） the books（62）borrowed（borrow） and returned by people，and collected material during work hours．（63）Though/Althoughit was a boring job，it taught me a lot．I did realize that only by working（64）carefully（careful） can we get the library to be managed properly．
I was the only volunteer（65）thatbecame paid due to my hard work and a work experience program at school．Although the pay wasn't high and the work was hard （66）done（do），I thought it worthwhile．On the last day in the library，Mr Wang，who was one of the best （67）bosses（boss） I had ever seen，threw us a（68）surprising（surprise）party．Then the whole library staff signed us card and gave us lots of other gifts．All of us at the party enjoyed （69）ourselves（us） that day，and I was very proud （70）ofthe experience．

15．Tom：I have got to admit you have a beautiful backyard，Jane．How do you do it？
Jane：Well，it does take time and （61）patience （patient）．But I also have a few secrets．
Tom：OK，OK．What do I have to do to get you（62）to tell （tell） me your secrets？You  know if I（63）had（have） the money，surely I would hire a gardener．
Jane：No，you need not do that．I'd never hire （64）a/anygardener．Working in the yard  is the greatest form of relaxation （65）thatI know of!
Tom：You are （66）kidding（kid），right？I would never have planted so many trees if I had known how much work they'd require．
Jane：You see，that is your problem．Right there．Your attitude is all wrong．
Tom：My attitude is wrong？（67）What does attitude have to do with gardening？
Jane：You've got to love working in the backyard-that's my secret!
Tom：What kind of secret is that？I （68）expected（expect） some special types of gardening  tool．
Jane：No，any tool will do the job．It's all about the mind．
Tom：So if I had a better feeling about my work in the garden，everything would be wonderful．I'd have healthy plants （69）like you．
Jane：Yes，that's it．You've got（70）it．

So what is behind the album's （67）popularity （popular）？First and foremost，the 27-year-old British singer has"an awe-inspiring voice that shows her genuine talent"，wrote The Christian Science Monitor．But her directness is also a huge part of her appeal（魅力）．As the Chicago Tribute commented，"Adele sings about her personal struggles"with emotional lyrics （歌詞） that invite everyone into her world．
Take the album's hit single Hello  （68）as an example．Adele has connected with people this tear-stained（淚痕斑斑的）song because，as the Chicago Tribute （芝加哥論壇報(bào)） put it，"who doesn't need a good cry once in a while？"Music，after all，is （69）what Chris Ferguson，an associate professor of psychology at Stetson University in Florida called"a social event．"The pain in her songs satisfies everyone's need for love．"It is this sense of‘we've been here before'（70）that makes Adele，"said the Chicago Tribute．
