Along the way they came to the edge of a severe hot-sand desert. They learnt that during the daytime the sun heats up the fine sand unt
27、il its as hot as charcoal, so no one can walk on it - not even bullocks(小公牛) or camels! So the caravan leader hired a desert guide, one who could follow the stars, so they could travel only at night when the sand cools down. They began the dangerous night-time journey across the desert. A couple of
28、nights later, after eating their evening meal, and waiting for the sand to cool, they started out again.Later that night, the desert guide, who was driving the first cart, saw from the stars that they were getting close to the other side of the desert. He had also overeaten, so that when he relaxed,
29、 he fell asleep. Then the bullocks who, of course, couldnt tell directions by reading the stars, gradually turned to the side and went in a big wide circle until they ended up at the same place they had started from! By then it was morning, and the people realized they were back at the same spot. Th
30、ey lost heart and began to cry about their condition. Since the desert crossing was supposed to be over by now, they had no more water and were afraid they would die of thirst. They even began to blame the caravan leader and the desert guide.However, the leader himself didnt lose courage. He began w
31、alking back and forth, trying to think out a plan. Remaining alert, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a small clump of grass. He thought, “Without water, no plant could live in this desert.“ So he asked his fellow travelers to dig up the ground on that very spot. They dug and dug, and after a
32、 while they got down to a large stone. He got down into the hole, put his ear to the stone, and heard the sound of flowing water.A spring was found. All the people were overjoyed. They drank and bathed and washed the animals and cooked their food and ate. Before they left, they raised a high flag so
33、 that other travelers could see the new spring in the middle of the hot-sand desert. Then they continued on safely to the end of their journey. 56. Why did the tradesman and his caravan have to travel during the night?A. To use less water while crossing the desert. B. It was too hot to walk on the d
34、esert in the daytime.C. They might be able to find the spring in the quiet night.D. The guide could find a short way by following the stars.57.

36、rom 1959 to 1965 Clive Codrington, pointed out that 6the tracks which passed through Knollys Tunnel and the area of Tabaquite were not originally intended for passenger trains. “They were really used for the transport of cocoa and coffee,” he said. Construction on Knollys Tunnel began in 1896, and i
37、t was opened on August 13th,1898 by the man it was named after-Sir Clement C. Knolly, Acting Governor of Trinidad. It linked Rio Claro with Port of Spain. Its architecture is still admired and studied today, and many are amazed that Knollys Tunnel has stood up to the earths movement over so many yea
38、rs. Much research is being done on the tunnel. At the top of Knollys Tunnel are cottages covered with leaves, where visitors can sit and enjoy the beauty of nature. Standing at the beginning of Knollys Tunnel, you can see nothing but the tiny light at the end. The train tracks have been removed and
39、replaced with small stones. Visitors can drive through the tunnel or walk through, but should do so in groups for safety. In the old days, there were no lights, but now there are street lights on the way to the tunnel, though not inside.On your way in, you may notice some manholes on the walls of th
40、e tunnel. These were there for individuals to step into for safety as the train passed. Knollys Tunnel can be accessed through Tabaquite and through Mitchell Gap. The road was recently improved, but is better when you enter from Tabaquite, and there are signs on the road directing you to Knollys Tun
41、nel.On the drive to Knollys Tunnel there are two other cottages where visitors can sit and just enjoy nature. At the site itself, there is nothing to purchase to eat or drink, but in Tabaquite there are several bars, a restaurant, and food outlets. A gas station and a health centre are also close by
42、. For those who admire architecture, Knollys Tunnel is a must-see when visiting Trinidad. For the nature lovers, there is no better place for them to be and for the historians, they can walk or drive through Knollys Tunnel knowing that many of our ancestors toiled on its structure. So when you visit
43、 Trinidad, dont forget to take a look at Knollys Tunnel! 39659. Knollys Tunnel is special in _. A. its environment B. its functionC. its location D. its architecture60. If you are visiting Knollys Tunnel, you can _.A. drive through itB. buy your meals in itC. take a train tour through itD. walk alon
44、g the track through it61. The underlined word “site” in the last paragraph refers to_.A. Trinidad B. Tabaquite C. Mitchell Gap D. Knollys Tunnel 62. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To suggest a visit to Knollys Tunnel. B. To tell the history of Knollys Tunnel.C. To evaluate the value of Knolly
45、s Tunnel.D. To witness the change of Knollys Tunnel.CIn the face of the tensions and pressures we all face every single day, a sense of humor can be helpful. The ability to laugh is very important to our fullest development and to our “mental health”. And if we can laugh at ourselves, were even furt
46、her along the road to self-fulfillment. Consider the following example. 7Gordon is hoping to become a professional singer. He has a good voice, and has performed in public many times. But hes very sensitive about his abilities. For instance, if his voice coach suggests he practice a particular song
47、a few more times until he gets it right, Gordon falls apart, absolutely certain that the coach is implying that he isnt any good and he has no future in music. He mentioned his sensitivity in his paper for a psychology class. The psychology professor called him in, outwardly to talk about the paper,
48、 but hoping to give the boy a chance to open up about the problem. The teacher rarely told her students what they ought to do, but she felt Gordon should know that such extreme sensitivity would make it difficult for him in the entertainment field, where stage personnel, and fellow performers often are very hard on new talent. She asked Gordon if he felt he had made necessary preparations to follow through in such a competitive and difficult business. Gordon got angry with the teacher, pointing a br
