21、The boulders (巨石) look generally unremarkable, besides the fact that they stretch up and down the ridge in a curved line. Most people who don’t know their story would probably choose to look at the sweeping view of San Jose below them instead.

The timeworn line of boulder, is part of a system of stone walls, the remains of which stretch along the East Bay Hills all the way from Grimly Peak in Berkeley to where I watched a man tie his shoes at the Sierra Vista Open Space Preserve above East San Jose.

They exist only in sections, and some are better preserved than others — where I found the man, the walls are short and thick and half-sunk into the earth, hut further north at Ed R. Levin County Park in Milpitas, they remain almost perfectly assembled and stand several feet tall.

The first recorded mention of the walls is from an article in the San Francisco Chronicle from 1896. “Half a mile east of Grizzly Peak stand the remains of stone walls which have long baffled the researchers. By whom they were built, when and why is an unsolved mystery,” the article stated. The unnamed author went on to write a generally-accepted theory of the walls that they were constructed by “some long-forgotten race, possibly Aztec”.

Of course, the people who originally inhabited the hills and the land surrounding them are far from forgotten. The Ohlone people thrived in the area for thousands of years until they were largely displaced by European settlers — however, there’re no records of them constructing stone walls.

“Some of my colleagues have heard the rocks were placed there by Spanish settlers clearing their fields, and there have been speculations that it could have been part of Indigenous practice,” said Charlotte Graham, a spokesperson for the Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority. “We’ve also heard it could be a natural occurrence.”

However, there isn’t enough evidence on the walls to be entirely certain. A study dated lichen (地衣) on the walls in Berkeley as being from 1851 to 1880, though other sections of the walls haven’t been tested, and there’re few historical accounts on their presence.

【1】How may most people never hearing about the boulders react when seeing them?

A．Ignore them.

B．Collect them.

C．Post the photos of them online.

D．Report them to the government.

【2】Which section of the stone walls is most probably best preserved?

A．The one along the East Bay Hills.

B．The one near Grizzly Peak in Berkeley.

C．The one at Ed R. Levin County Park in Milpitas.

D．The one at the Sierra Vista Open Space Preserve.

【3】What does the underlined word “baffled” probably mean in paragraph 4?

A．Prevented.

B．Confused.

C．Annoyed.

D．Inspired.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A．Functions of stone walls

B．Newly-found boulders

C．The history of boulders

D．Stories behind mystery walls

22、How parents can help with cyberbullying（网络欺凌）?

43% of kids have been bullied online. One in four has had it happen more than once.70% of students reported seeing frequent bullying online. Many studies suggest that cyberbullying has become a serious problem worldwide and makes many kids suffer. 【1】.

Let teachers know about the situation. Many schools have protocols（协议）for responding to cyberbullying. Before reporting the problem, let your children know what you want to do so that you can make a plan that makes you both feel comfortable.

Encourage your children not to respond to cyberbullying, because doing so just fuels the fire and makes the situation worse. 【2】. Instead, you should keep the threatening messages, pictures, and texts, which can be used as evidence for the bully’s parents, schools, or even the police.

Limit your kids’ access to the Internet. Though hurtful, many kids who are bullied can’t resist the temptation（诱惑）to check websites or phones to see if there are new messages. 【3】. Many websites and smartphones include parental control options that allow parents to control kids’ online life.

24、There is no shortage of tipsters (提供内幕的人) around offering 'get rich-quick' opportunities. But if you are a serious private investor, leave the Las Vegas mentality to those with money to fritter(挥霍) .The serious investor needs a proper 'portfolio' - a well-planned selection of investments, with a definite structure and a clear aim. But exactly how does a newcomer to the stock market go about achieving that?

Well, if you go to five reputable stock brokers (经纪人) and ask them what you should do with your money, you're likely to get five different answers, --- even if you give all the relevant information about your age, family, finances and what you want from your investments. Moral? There is no one 'right' way to structure a portfolio. However, there are undoubtedly some wrong ways, and you can be sure that none of our five advisers would have suggested sinking all (or perhaps any) of your money into a fictitious company.

So what should you do? We'll assume that you have sorted out the basics - like mortgages, pensions, insurance and access to sufficient cash reserves. You should then establish your own individual aims. These are partly a matter of personal circumstances, partly a matter of psychology.

For instance, if you are older you have less time to recover from any major losses, and you may well wish to boost your pension income. So preserving your capital and generating extra income are your main priorities. In this case, you'd probably construct a portfolio with some shares (but not high risk ones), along with bonds, cash deposits, and perhaps convertibles or the income shares of split capital investment trusts.

If you are younger, and in a solid financial position, you may decide to take an aggressive approach - but only if you're blessed with an optimistic personality and won't suffer sleepless nights over share prices. If you recognize yourself in this description, you might include a couple of exciting growth stocks in your portfolio, alongside your more pedestrian investments. Once you have decided on your investment aims, you can then decide where to put your money. The golden rule here is spread your risk - if you put all of your money into a fictitious company, you're setting yourself up as a hostage to fortune.

【1】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the first paragraph?

A．Las Vegas mentality only belongs to rich people.

B．There are many short- cuts to becoming rich.

C．A newcomer with a proper portfolio can invest.

D．A well-planned selection is needed for serious investors.

【2】Which of the following is INCORRECT according to the last two paragraphs in the passage?

A．Older people should take a moderate approach in investment.

B．The main priority for older people is to take aggressive shares.

C．Younger people may adopt an aggressive approach in investment.

D．Younger people can be comparatively more positive towards loss.

【3】What does the phrase “a hostage to fortune” in the last paragraph mean?

A．A man lucky enough to have a lot of money.

B．An unlucky man for the loss of money.

C．A wise and fortunate man for the investment.

D．A risk spreader to a very large extent.
