13．A decades-old tradition，illustrated in a modem children's book，links the sweetness of honey with the joy of learning to read．
The grandpa held a jar of honey so that all the family could see．He then dipped a spoon into it and put some honey on the cover of a small book．
The little girl had just turned five．Stand up，little one，"he asked the girl softly．"I did this for your mother，your uncles，your
old brother，and now you!"
Then，he handed the book to her．"Taste f"
She touched the honey with her finger and put it into her mouth．
"What  is  the  taste？"the  grandpa  asked．

This is the beginning of a profoundly moving children's book entitled Thank You，Mr．Falker．
In this book，Patricia Polacco writes of her own passion to read，inspired by the honey on the book．It wasn't until fifth grade that she met her beloved teacher who provided the help that she needed to finally unlock the magic of the written world．
The child learning to read is admitted into a collective memory by way of books．And with the printed words that are active with．meaning，the child bees acquainted（熟悉的） with a common past which he or she renews，to a greater or lesser degree，in every reading．Much as the author of the book Thank You，Mr．Falker puts it，"Almost as if it were magic，or as if light poured into her brain，the words and sentences started to take shape on the page as they never had before-And she understood the whole thing---Then she went into the living room and found the book on a shelf，the very book that her grandpa had shown her so many years ago．She spooned  honey on the cover and tasted the sweetness---Then she held the book，honey and all，close to her chest．She could feel tears roll down her cheeks，but they weren't tears of sadness-she way happy，so very happy．"

1．Ecotourism is one of the fastest growing sectors in tourism． More and more of us are becoming concerned about the effects we are having on the destinations we choose，as well as the world around us． Some of us are choosing more green modes of transport to get there instead of flying，and some of us are choosing to visit greener destinations． India is one of the best places for ecotourism，and with the destinations below you can be sure that you'll not only be protecting the earth，but giving something back to the area too．
Kerala，more commonly known as"God's Own Country"，is a beautiful state on the southern tip of India． It's a biologically diverse area，with many unique animal species，and almost 2，500 plant species in its tropical forests-that's nearly a quarter of all India's plant groups． In the past，though the forests in this area were much cleared，today they are well protected． There are plenty of wildlife reserves where you can see some of these unique animals．

Arunachal Pradesh，situated on the most northern tip of India，is a resort for the more adventurous． With dry，desert heat in the summer and a snowfall best avoided in the winter，this area is less about greenery，and more about stunning desert landscapes． When visiting this amazing area，you'll be promoting locals earning income from their surroundings，encouraging them to make the most of them and preserve them，as well as gradually increasing their quality of life．
As a north Indian province，Ladakh supports much rare and even endangered plants and animals，which can be seen at Hemis High Altitude National Park． There are also many Tibetan monasteries，including the Hemis Monastery，to visit in the area．
76． Why do people regard Kerala as a biologically diverse area？（no more than 15 words）Because there live many unique animal species and almost 2，500 plant species．

18．People become quite illogical when they try to decide what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten． If you lived in the Mediterranean，for example，you would consider octopus （章魚）a great delicacy （佳肴）． You would not be able to understand why some people find it repulsive（令人討厭的）． On the other hand，your stomach would turn at the idea of frying potatoes in animal fat---the normally accepted practice in many northern countries． The sad truth is that most of us have been brought up to eat certain foods and we stick to them all our lives．
  No creature has received more praise and abuse than the common garden snail （蝸牛）．Cooked in wine，snails are a great luxury in various parts of the world． There are countless people who，ever since their early years，have learned to associate snails with food．
As my friend，Robert's flat is in a large town，he has no garden of his own． For years he has been asking me to collect snails from my garden and take them to him． The idea never appealed to me very much，but one day，after a heavy shower，I happened to be walking in my garden when I noticed a huge number of snails on some of my favorite plants． Acting on a sudden impulse （沖動(dòng)），I collected several dozen，put them in a paper bay，and took them to Robert． Robert was delighted to see me and equally pleased with my little gift． I left the bag in the hall and Robert and 1 went into the living room where we talked for a couple of hours．I had forgotten all about the snails when Robert suddenly said that I must stay to dinner．Snails would，of course，be the main dish． I did not fancy the idea and 1 reluctantly （不情愿地） followed Robert out of the room． To our surprise，we saw that there were snails everywhere：they had escaped from the paper bag and had taken complete possession of the hall!I have never been able to look at a snail since then．
68． We can infer from Paragraph 3 that when collecting the snails，the writerB
  A． was glad that he could share them with his friend
  B． didn't think much about the result and it was just a sudden wish
  C． was excited about being able to give his friend a surprise

  C． are the most controversial（有爭(zhēng)議的） food  D．a(chǎn)re as popular as fried potatoes'
70． According to the passage，people love different foods mainly becauseD
  A． they live in different places

5．Celebrities（名人） are more in love with themselves than the average person，according to a new study．
In case anyone needed proof，a new study supports the widely held perception：Famous people are more narcissistic（自我陶醉的），which means they are more in love with themselves than the average person is．That is the conclusion drawn by Drew Pinsky and S．Mark Young of the University of Southern California，whose study of 200celebrities will appear in the Journal Of Research in Personality．
It is not the entertainment industry that turns stars into narcissists，the study found．Rather，it suggests，the self-adoring（自戀的）people seek jobs in show business．The study，whose subjects were a11celebrities from Pinsky's‘Loveline'radio show，found that reality TV stars were the most narcissistic of all celebrities．Female stars were also more likely than the male stars to exhibit narcissistic characteristics．
It's"common sense"that celebrities are narcissists，said Jeremy Ritzlin，a longtime Hollywood psychologist who has not seen the study．"Everyone knows famous people are really in love with themselves，"he said．"So it would be natural for narcissists to be attracted toward the stage and spotlight，where other people will also think highly of them．"
Pinsky，an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at USC'S Keck School of Medicine，said narcissists desire attention，are overconfident，behave strangely and lack sympathy．"However，they are easily-liked，especially on first meeting，are outgoing and perform well in public，"added Pinsky，who has hosted the radio show"Loveline"for 20years．
Celebrity guests appearing on the program were randomly chosen to participate in the study．They anonymously（匿名地）took the Narcissistic Personality Inventory test．which rates self-love levels based on seven components：superiority，exhibitionism，entitlement，vanity，authority，exploitativeness，and self-sufficiency．

36．Who are most likely to be self-adoring in the study？A
A．The women stars．    B．The men stars
C．The average people．  D．It is not mentioned in the passage．
37．According to the forth paragraph．the fact"celebrities are narcissists"C．
A．is common in the entertainment industry
B．is a misunderstanding of Jeremy Ritzlin
C．is known to most of the people
D．is unreal on the stage
38．According to Pinsky，narcissists may NOTB．
A．hope to attract attention
B．be kind to poor people
C．believe in themselves
D．be liked by others easily
39．How were the celebrities surveyed in the study？D
A．They were interviewed by Drew Pinsky and S．Mark Young．
B．They were invited to the University of Southern California．
C．They appeared on Pinsky's‘Loveline'radio show．
D．They took the Narcissistic Personality Inventory test．
40．The author of this passage wants to tell USD．
A．how psychologists make a study
B．how entertainment industry produces celebrities
C．how people think of the famous stars
D．how celebrities feel about themselves．
