24、   For four years, Christopher Schacht lived a life on the go. He traveled 65,000 miles to 45 different countries. Around the world 50 Bucks（ 元 ）tells of Schacht’s great journey, from his town in northern Germany to some of the most faraway places in the world and back again. Thanks to a translation by Jane Gesme, this international bestseller in English is on sale now.

Reading Schacht’s book is like ping-ponging between worrying about your daredevil (胆大妄为的) son and being proud of your older brother. At parts, I was really frightened for his safety. In order to eat. he worked any job he could find -sailor.  waiter, gold miner, model. He mostly slept in hammocks (吊床) on the street or else in his tent. He hitchhiked（搭车) everywhere，even across oceans as he found jobs on sailing boats in return for food and a bed.

However, Schacht’s book does not doubt people. He believes that many people in the world are kind, helpful and curious. This friendliness probably saved his life many times.

Though not perfect for everyone. Schacht’s ways of traveling force him to look for help from others. He meets a Canadian living on a boat in Colombia, who used to be an excellent cook. Schacht needs to learn how to cook in order to get a job on a ship to Panama. In these high-stress moments, Schacht only has a little time to find a way to his next destination ( 目 的 地 ). The relationships he makes along the way are life-changing. As he learns. “In most situations it is quite easy to help someone move forward when they would not have done it alone.”

From sailing across the equator (赤道) to speaking bad Korean in Gyeongju Schacht takes us around the world in surprising detail. Like Schacht, we are also thankful for the journey. We feel even more pleased that Schacht chose to share it with the world.

【1】The passage is written to introduce us ________.

【2】Schacht did any job he could find on the way because ________.

A.he could do anything very well

B.he was the best person for the job

C.he enjoyed helping others do anything

D.he didn’t take enough money during the trip

【3】In Schacht’s opinion, ________.

A.many people he met on the way were daredevil.

B.it was friendliness that saved his life many times.

C.you need to doubt any people you meet on the way.

D.it’s not difficult to help people in trouble move forward.

25、阅读理解。

Around the world, people have different traditional foods to celebrate different festivals. Traditional foods also show a new year of good luck and good health:

An English Christmas dinner has a meal of turkey, and it also includes pies and plum puddings(李子布丁). In Germany, Christmas is celebrated with bread, cookies and cakes, which are made like Christmas trees. In France, Christmas dessert is a cake filled with butter cream.

In southern parts of India, there is a three-day festival in mid-January called Pongal. It includes rice and a dish of rice cooked with sugar that is shared with families and friends.

Japan celebrates New Year with a seven-day festival. It begins from January 1st. Food is prepared before the festival so people don’t need to cook during the festival. On New Year’s Day, various dishes called Osechi ryori (御节料理) are served--each dish is a wish for the New Year.

In most Asian countries, the New Year begins with the first full moon of the first Chinese Lunar(阴历的) month. Each place has its special food to welcome the coming year: People in China prepare their food ahead of time to avoid the possibility that using a knife during New Year’s time might “cut luck”. Foods with lucky names are popular, such as fish, which sounds like “surplus(剩余)”.

26、   Everyone loves money! But do you know where money came from? Who were the first people to use money? Scientists say that over 10,000 years ago, people in Swaziland(斯威士兰), Southern Africa, were using red dye(染料) as a type of money around that period of time. Later, people in several places used shells and other valuable things as a type of money to “buy” or “trade for” things they wanted. This is known as a form of trade where some goods are exchanged for other goods.

Many things have been used as “money” from pigs to salt. For a long time, pepper(胡椒粉) could be used to “pay for” things in Europe. On the Micronesian island of Yap, people used very big stone “coins”, some of which were up to eight feet wide and weighed more than a small car.

But the most convenient forms of money were pieces of valuable metals like gold and silver. Historians think that the Lydians were the first people to introduce the use of gold and silver coins around 650 BC. Gold and silver are still quite valuable today.

The first banknotes(纸币) appeared in China in the 7th century, and the first banknotes in Europe came out in 1661.

28、A young painter completed a nice picture. To get people’s t【1】 about his skills, he put it at a crossing on a busy street. And below it a board read, “Gentlemen, I have painted this piece. S【2】 I’m new, I might make some mistakes in it. Please put a cross (叉号) wherever you see a mistake.”

When he came back in the evening to c【3】 his picture, he was shocked to see that the whole picture was filled with crosses. And some people e【4】 wrote something on his picture. Sadly, he ran to his master and said, “I failed. And if this is what I have learned, I’m not w【5】 teaching. ”

The master smiled and suggested, “I’ll let you know that you’re a great artist. Now go to paint the same picture again and give it to me. ”

Then they went to the same street the next morning and put the new picture exactly at the same place. Now the master took out another board w【6】 said, “Gentlemen, I painted this piece. There might be some mistakes in it. I have put a box with colors and brushes just below. Please give me a h【7】. If you see a mistake, pick up the brush and correct it.”

Two days later, they came back to the place. The young painter was s【8】 to see that actually there was not a single correction done!

It’s easy to say but difficult to do. If you want to help people i【9】 their behavior, you’d better learn how to help people change their attitudes (态度) or skills. Also, always remember not to judge (评判) y【10】 by someone else’s words and feel bad.
