27、The very next day we did actually make our start upon this remarkable expedition (探险). At dawn and at sunset, the monkeys screamed together and the parrots started making their high-pitched (声调高的) noise, but during the hot hours of the day only the loud noise of insects, like the beat of a distant surf, filled the ear, while nothing moved amongst the views of huge tree trunks, fading away into the darkness which held us in. Once some creature, an anteater (食蚁兽) or a bear, walked awkwardly amid the shadows. It was the only sign of life which I had seen in this great Amazonian forest.

And yet there were signs that even human life itself was not far from us in those mysterious dark comers. On the third day out we were aware of a strange, deep, rhythmic beat in the air, coming and going on and off throughout the morning. The two boats were moving within a few yards of each other when first we heard it, and our guides remained still, as if they had been turned to bronze.

“What is it, then?” I asked.

“War drums,” said Gomez. “Native people, aggressive, not friendly; they watch us every mile of the way; kill us if they can.”

“How can they watch us?” I asked, gazing into the dark.

“The native people know. They talk the drum talk to each other. Kill us if they can.”

By the afternoon of that day—my pocket diary shows me that it was Tuesday, August 18th — at least six or seven drums were beating from various points. Sometimes they beat quickly, sometimes slowly, sometimes in obvious question and answer, one far to the east breaking out in a high-pitched beat, and being followed after a pause by a deep roll from the north. There was something incredibly nerve-shaking and threatening in that constant noise, which seemed to shape itself into the words: “We will kill you if we can.” No one ever moved in the silent woods.

That night we tied our boats with heavy stones for anchors (锚) in the centre of the stream, and made every preparation for a possible attack. Nothing came, however, and with the dawn we pushed upon our way, the drum-beating dying out behind us.

D．To frighten off the dangerous animals.

28、   Several weeks ago, a mysterious Christmas card dropped through our mailbox. The envelope was addressed to a man named Raoul, who, I was relatively certain, did not live with us. The envelope wasn’t sealed, so I opened it. The inside of the card was blank. Ed, my husband, explained that the card was both from and to the newspaper deliveryman. His name was apparently Raoul, and Raoul wanted a holiday tip. We were meant to put a check inside the card and then drop the envelope in the mail. When your services are finished at 4 a.m., you can’t simply hang around, like a hotel bellboy expecting a tip. You have to be direct.

So I wrote a nice holiday greeting to this man who, in my imagination, fires The New York Times from his bike aimed at our front door, causing more noise with mere newsprint than most people manage with sophisticated(复杂的) black market fireworks. With a start, I realized that perhaps the reason for the 4 a.m. wake-up noise was not ordinary rudeness but carefully executed spite(怨恨): I had not tipped Raoul in Christmas past. I honestly hadn’t realized I was supposed to. This was the first time he’d used the card tactic(策略). So I got out my checkbook. Somewhere along the line, holiday tipping went from an optional thank-you for a year of services to a Mafia-style protection racket (收保护费组织).

Several days later, I was bringing our garbage bins back when I noticed an envelope taped to one of the lids. The outside of the envelope said MICKEY. It had to be another tip request, this time from our garbage collector. Unlike Raoul, Mickey hadn’t enclosed his own Christmas card from me. In a way, I appreciated the directness. “I know you don’t care how merry my Christmas is, and that’s fine,” the gesture said. “I want $30, or I’ll ‘forget’ to empty your garbage bin some hot summer day.” I put a check in the envelope and taped it back to the bin. The next morning, Ed noticed that the envelope was gone, though the trash hadn’t yet been picked up: “Someone stole Mickey’s tip!” Ed was quite certain. He made me call the bank and cancel the check. But Ed had been wrong. Two weeks later, Mickey left a letter from the bank on our steps. The letter informed Mickey that the check, which he had tried to cash, had been cancelled.

The following Tuesday morning, when Ed saw a truck outside, he ran out with his wallet. “Are you Mickey?” The man looked at him with scorn(轻蔑). “Mickey is the garbageman. I am the recycling.” Not only had Ed insulted(侮辱) this man by suggesting that he was a garbageman, but he had obviously neglected to tip him. Ed ran back inside for more funds. Then he noticed that the driver of the truck had been watching the whole incident. He peeled off another twenty and looked around, waving bills in the air. “Anyone else?”

Had we consulted the website of the Emily Post Institute, this embarrassing break of etiquette (礼节) could have been avoided. Under “trash/recycling collectors” in the institute’s Holiday Tipping Guidelines, it says: “$10 to $30 each.” You may or may not wish to know that your hairdresser, mailman and UPS guy all expect a holiday tip.

C．the writer’s husband didn’t know Raoul at all

D．the writer’s family was too poor to give the tips

29、   I was nine when I arrived at the Children’s Home in Nashua, New Hampshire, in 1965. I failed third grade that year, just made it through a second time, and had managed to finish fourth grade by the time I reached Pauline Jambard’s fifth－grade class at Charlotte Avenue Elementary School.

I was convinced(使信服) I wasn’t “smart” like the other kids, and I hoped I could make it through fifth grade. Ms. Jambard took a great liking to me. Of all the subjects in school，reading was my favorite. She would tell me，“Terry, you keep reading. If you can understand what you’re reading, you’ll be smarter than most kids.” After I read all the books in our program, I started reading the classroom’s set of EncyclopaediaBritannica(《大英百科全书》). I couldn’t find enough to read, and I started to really like school.

After I graduated from Ms. Jambard’s class in 1969, my brother and I moved, and I lost all touch with my teacher. In 1983, I was on a business trip and had to drive through Nashua. I took a chance and dropped by Charlotte Avenue Elementary. I was walking toward her classroom when she came out in the hallway and said，“Terry！” It was as if I had never left. I was in seventh heaven on my way home.

We have stayed in touch, and I call Ms. Jambard at least once a year. Because of the confidence she gave me, I went on to have a successful career(事业) in engineering. I don’t know if Ms. Jambard realizes how much she helped me, but I’ll never forget her kindness and faith in me.

【1】How did the author probably feel about the subjects in third grade?

A．They were very easy.

B．They were quite difficult.

C．They were very interesting.

D．They were completely useless.

A．became the smartest kid in his class

B．read a lot and wrote his first book

C．followed Ms. Jambard’s advice

D．did well in all the subjects

【3】By saying “I was in seventh heaven”， the author means that ________.

A．he was really worried

B．he was very happy

C．he had an accident

D．he lost the way

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

A．The Teacher Who Raised Me Up

B．Ms. Jambard: a Lifelong Friend

C．Charlotte Avenue Elementary School

D．My Early Life in the Children’s Home

30、Self-control may be the secret to success, according to a persuasive new study that followed 1,000 children from birth to age 32. Children who showed early signs of self-control were not only less likely to have developed addictions or to have committed a crime by adulthood, but were also healthier and _________ than their more impulsive peers.

For the new study, called the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study, researchers led by Duke University psychologist Terrie Moffitt followed 1,000 children in New Zealand for more than three decades.

In previous research, researchers found that _________ and out-of-control behavior were more common in children who had experienced loss or violence. If children have bad experiences, the _________ may affect the proper development of the frontal cortex (前额叶) in children’s brains, which is responsible for self-control. If children have lower self-control, they will have a(n) _________ time in school. They won’t learn as efficiently and they are more likely to act out because of their frustrations, which means the potential for more _________ problems and, in later life, the potential for legal problems.

Although Moffitt’s study found some “concentration of low self-control children in homes with low income,” the author says, “The link was _________. There were plenty of well-to-do children with very low self-control.” _________, poor children who scored best on measures of self-control were more likely than others to become wealthy in later life. “One _________ of the findings is that children with high self-control who began life in low-income homes ended up as adults with higher incomes,” says Moffitt.

_________, the period of time in which many of the mistakes in self-discipline would potentially lead to the worst life outcomes occurred during the teenage years. Teens who had scored lowest in measures of __________ in early childhood were the most likely to make mistakes in the first place. And even those low self-control teens who managed to __________ smoking, alcohol or other drug-related problems, and who stayed in school, still did worse later in life than their more disciplined peers. This suggests that there might be a better __________ on investment from early childhood interventions.

“Trial and error is a __________ part of teenage life”，says Moffitt, “But teens with good self-control __________ trial and error more strategically, and they understand the difference between a useful learning experiment and real danger. I am convinced that teenagers can be taught to recognize this __________.”
