18．In 1978，I was 18and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270km away from Sydney，Australia．I was looking forward to having five days off from duty．Unfortunately，the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left．So I thought I'd hitch a ride （搭便車(chē)）．
I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me．Finally，a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon．He said that although he couldn't give me a lift，I should come back to his house for lunch．He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry．I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured （使…放心）me I was safe，and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards．When we arrived at his house，he made us sandwiches．After lunch，he helped me find a lift home．
Twenty-five years later，in 2003，while I was driving to a nearby town one day，I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat，trying to hitch a ride．I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favor I'd been given decades earlier．I pulled over and picked him up．I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water．
After a few moments of small talk，the man said to me，"You haven't changed a bit，even your red hair is still the same．"I couldn't remember where I'd met him．He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago．It was Gordon．

B．Those who give rides will be rapid．

11．Something's happening at the lowest point on our planet，some 1，388 feet below sea level．
The Dead Sea，a salt lake close to Israel，Jordan and the West Bank，is shrinking at an alarming rate-about 3.3 feet per year，according to the environmentalist group EcoPeace Middle East．And human actions are largely to blame．
"It's not just like one country is punishing the Dead Sea；it's more like the whole region，"said photographer Moritz Küstner，who visited the area in February to work on his series"The Dying Dead"．
The Dead Sea needs water from the other natural sources surrounding it，such as the Jordan River basin．But around the 1960s，some of the water sources it relied upon were diverted．
Mineral extraction industries are another main reason why the water levels are declining，experts say．The Dead Sea's minerals have been popular for their medical power and can often be found in cosmetics（化妝品）and other consumer products．
And then，of course，there's the Middle East's hot，dry climate，which makes it difficult for the lake to refill itself．
Last year，Israel and Jordan signed a $900 million deal in an effort to stabilize the Dead Sea's water levels．
It involves building a canal from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea so that both countries would be able to not only supply water to Israel and Jordan but also to pump much needed water-some 300 million cubic meters annually-into the Dead Sea．
"This is the most important and significant agreement since the peace treaty with Jordan （in 1994），"said Silvan Shalom，Israel's energy and water resources minister at the time．
Whether the canal-estimated to take three years to complete-will work out positively and as planned remains to be seen．

32．Moritz Küstner visited the Dead Sea toC．
A．shoot TV series about people's action there              
B．make a survey about the sea level
C．do his photographic series work                     
D．research into environmental problems
33．Which of the following statements is NOT the reason for the water levels'declining？D
A．The other natural sources the Dead Sea relied on were switched．
B．The Dead Sea's minerals have been dug and used in some products．
C．The Middle East's climate makes the lake itself difficult to store water．
D．Israel and Jordan are the two countries to destroy the Dead Sea．
34．What measure has been taken to save the Dead Sea？A
A．Bringing in water from the Red Sea．
B．Introducing water from Israel and Jordan．
C．Taking Israel's energy and water resources．
D．Struggling for international support．
35．What does the passage mainly tells us？A
A．Why the Dead Sea is dying and the measure taken to save it．
B．How important the Dead Sea is in Israel，Jordan and the West Bank．
C．How to solve the problem that the Dead Sea is being destroyed．
D．Protecting the environment is in no hurry all over the world．
