ABC Travel

Dear Mr. Smith,

I am writing to complain(抱怨) about the 5-day trip to London organized by your company last month.

On the first day, March 15, the tour guide should have brought us to London bridge and Buckingham Palace(白金汉宫) but he didn't. He said we couldn't visit those places, because it was raining. But in fact it was just cloudy! We stayed at the hotel all day! The next day, we only visited one place, not the four places on the schedule(计划表). The tour guide told us to go shopping by ourselves most of the time during the next 3 days.

The food was terrible during the trip. We wanted to try traditional British food but we ended up eating rice every meal.

I want your company to refund(退还) my money. If you don't reply, I will tell a TV station my story. Please reply by the end of this month.

An angry customer,

Sarah Allen

23、Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary reached the top of Qomolangma in 1953. It was an important event in the mountain climbing history. Also, it was a turning point in the lives of Sherpa (夏尔巴) people.

Before 1953, Sherpa people led a very simple and peaceful life. Most of them worked on farms. They had very little connection with people from other parts of the world. Now things have changed, and thanks to technology, the Sherpa world is much better connected. Tourism (旅游业) is also a main force in changing the lives of Sherpas. After 1953, especially in the 1970s, the number of tourists to Nepal (尼泊尔) increased greatly. Today, tourism is the biggest source of income (收入来源) for Sherpas. Many Sherpas now have a richer life.

Back in 1953, education and health care in Sherpa villages were poor. These days, however, there are many schools and medical clinics (医疗诊所). Changes have also come to Sherpas dinner table: they eat healthier food than they used to. They can also get food from other places. Besides, they are able to get and use quality building materials (建筑材料). The new buildings are much safer than they used to be.

There are some Sherpas, however, who like the old way of living their lives. Some older Sherpas are upset that people seem to be moving away from the traditional way of life. They believe that some Sherpas these days think too much about money. As a result, they are losing the ability to pay attention to true happiness.

24、Long ago, Bluebird’s feathers were the color of dust. She did not like her ugly color. She was attracted by the color of the lake near her home. It was as blue as the sky after a storm. Bluebird wanted to be the color of that beautiful lake very much.

Flapping her wings one morning, Bluebird flew from her tree to the blue lake. Then she bathed in the water three times. After each bath, she sang, “Blue water. Still water. I went in. I am blue.” Bluebird repeated this every morning. On the third day, she came out of the lake with beautiful blue feathers.

Now Coyote was a trickster (骗子) —and hungry too. He stayed behind Bluebird’s tree for a long time every day and watched her go to the lake. He pretended (伪装) to be interested in everything she did. He wanted Bluebird for lunch, but he was afraid of the blue water. On the third morning, Coyote saw Bluebird come out of the lake with beautiful blue feathers. Impressed he sat next to Bluebird’s tree and waited for her. When she returned, he asked, “How did you get blue feathers? I want to be blue like the mountains too.” Bluebird didn’t believe Coyote, but she taught him how to bathe three times each morning and how to sing her song. Coyote did what she said, and after three days of bathing in the lake, his white fur turned deep blue.

Convinced (确信的) that blue fur was even more beautiful than blue feathers, Coyote forgot all about being hungry. He ran as fast as he could to the top of the hill. Standing on his back legs, he raised his front legs off the ground and howled. But Coyote slipped (滑到) and rolled down the hill. He couldn’t stop himself, and the dust and dirt covered his new blue fur. He rolled and rolled until he hit into Bluebird’s tree heavily. No matter how much he tried, foolish Coyote could not shake the dust from his fur. And so the fur of all coyotes has the dull color of dust to this very day.

【1】How many times did Bluebird bathe every morning before she had beautiful blue feathers?

A．Three times.

B．Four times.

C．Five times.

D．Six times.

【2】Why was Coyote a trickster?

A．He wanted to fly like Bluebird near the mountains.

B．He wanted to eat B1uebird but pretended to be curious.

C．He wanted to swim in the lake but was afraid of the water.

D．He wanted to sing Bluebird’s song but didn’t know the words.

【3】Where did Coyote go after his fur turned blue?

A．To the lake.

B．To the tree.

C．To the cave.

D．To the hill.

【4】Why did Coyote forget all about being hungry?

A．Because his fur had the dull color of dust.

B．Because the dust and dirt covered his new blue fur.

C．Because he hit into Bluebird’s tree and hurt himself.

D．Because he thought blue fur was much more beautiful.

【5】What words does the writer use to help you imagine the color blue?

A．Sky, lake, mountains.

B．Bird, coyote, storm.

C．Flapped, climbed, bathed.

D．Fur, feathers, dust.
