To travel around the world is the dream of many adventurous people. But very few people can afford a global tour because hotels, food and airplane tickets are too expensive. Some people, however, have thought of some ways to realize their dreams.

In exchange, they can stay in the houses for free. They have looked after horses, cows, cats, dogs and fish. In two years, the couple has been to Australia, Germany, Spain and Italy. They have stayed in big cities and small villages. The home owners are usually very generous and have given them food, wine and day trips.
Another person who tries to realize her travel dream is photographer Rhiannon Taylor. She travels around the world to visit, review and take photos of the best hotels. She shares the places she stays and the food she eats on the Internet with tens of thousands of followers.
With these ways of making money, traveling around the world is no longer a dream. More and more young people are thinking creatively to make their dream come true.

I think it is safe to say that snakes are not popular among most people. It would be hard to find a person who is neutral (中立的), or simply doesn’t care one way or the other. What I wonder is why something even without legs causes such great fear.
Snakes are quite useful, but that doesn’t seem to matter. Snakes help control the population of mice. Without snakes, perhaps we would find mice everywhere. Most of us, however, would rather see a mouse than a snake.
The poison argument (毒性的争论) is a strong one. Some snakes are poisonous, and this causes people’s death. However, the poisonous snakes are only a small number. We can’t say all the snakes are bad just because of a few dangerous ones.
And what do we do with the people who really like snakes? They like snakes even more strongly than we dislike them. These people learn about them, find them out, and watch them carefully. Why? The only reason I can think of is that these people are open-minded. They are able to put aside differences and welcome the snake as a friend.
Whatever the reason for our like or dislike, snakes do something good in the circle of life. They would prefer to be left alone, and that is what we should do. If you’re lucky, you might not run across more than a few of them in a lifetime. That would be fine with most of us.
46. How does the writer describe the appearance of snakes?
A. Something even without legs. B. Something not popular among people.
C. A person who is neutral. D. A person who cares about nothing.
47. Which of the following shows that most people dislike snakes?
A. They welcome snakes as their best friends.
B. They would rather see a mouse than a snake.
C. They wonder why snakes can cause great fear.
D. They learn about snakes and watch them carefully.
48. Although some snakes are poisonous, ______.
A. they cause many people’s death
B. they control the population of mice
C. they are not dangerous to people
D. they are only a small number
49. People who really like snakes are open-minded because they ______.
A. are able to put aside differences
B. think all the snakes are poisonous
C. are able to deal with poisonous snakes
D. take part in the poison argument
50. The last paragraph seems to tell us that the writer ______.
A. dislikes snakes B. has the best luck C. loves snakes D. prefers to be left alone
【主旨大意】本文是一篇议论文，论述大家对蛇的感觉，提出了作者本人喜欢蛇的观点。
46. A【解析】细节理解题。选项A没有腿的东西；B不受人们的欢迎的东西；C中性的、中立的人D什么都不关心的人。根据第一段最后一句“What I wonder is why something even without legs causes such great fear.” 我不知道为什么某个东西即使没有腿也能造成如此巨大的恐惧。此处某个东西指代的就是蛇，故选择A。
47. B【解析】推理判断题。根据原文“Most of us, however, would rather see a mouse than a snake.” 然而，我们大多数人宁愿看到一只老鼠不是一条蛇。故选择B。
48. D【解析】推理判断题。根据原文“We can’t say all the snakes are bad just because of a few dangerous ones.” 只是因为一些蛇是危险的，我们就说所有的蛇都不好。说明危险的蛇只是少数，故选择D。
49. A【解析】细节理解题。根据原文“The only reason I can think of is that these people are open-minded. They are able to put aside differences and welcome the snake as a friend.” 我能想到的唯一理由是，这些人都是思想开明的。他们能够抛开分歧，欢迎蛇作朋友。故选择A。
50. C【解析】主旨大意题。根据原文“They would prefer to be left alone”他们宁愿独处，此处指的是蛇，而不是作者本人，所以排除选项D。最后一段“Whatever the reason for our like or dislike, snakes do something good in the circle of life.”无论我们喜欢或不喜欢的理由是什么，生活中，蛇做了一些好事的。可知作者是站在蛇一边的，所以排除选项A不喜欢蛇；而选项B文章并没有提及作者是否幸运，故也排除，故选择C。

Raising chickens seems a difficult task for teenagers. Gracie Goodpasture, from Virginia, US, not only raises them, but also tries to breed (喂养) the “perfect chicken”. And she even won an award for her love of science.
Gracie started breeding chickens in her third grade at Steward School. At first, she worked on some farms for her school project. But later, the 14-year-old started to have some ideas of her own.
“Some have thicker eggshells (蛋壳), and they’re hearty (健壮的) throughout the winter,” said Grade

Did you ever think about how people got their surnames (family names)? Did you ever 66 who was the first person to have your surname?
Many modern British surnames go 67 to the Vikings and Anglo-Saxons who ruled England for 300 years, until 106 6 AD. During those 68 , people just had one name. To tell each person apart, the Anglo-Saxons added 69 the place a person came from or the job they did to their first name. For example, a lady called Agatha 70 the town of Blackburn could be called Agatha Blackburn.
The Vikings, on the other hand, 71 the name of a person’s father or mother. So Erik Jonsson was the son of a man named Jon. Many Viking men 72 had nicknames (绰号). These used to mean the opposite of what the person was actually like. For example, John Short could be a very 73 man, or Erik Wise could be a man who was not very clever!
So, next time someone tells you their surname, stop and think for a minute. It might tell you 74 about their ancestors(祖先) from centuries ago!

【范文】
Understanding signs is as important as understanding languages
Signs can be found everywhere and they are necessary in our daily life. In my opinion, understanding signs is as important as understanding languages.
One day, a little boy saw a traffic “safety” sign on his way home. For fun, he started to kick it with his feet. As a result, the signs fell down carelessly. No one paid attention to what happened that time. The next morning, there was a car accident just at the right spot, which was caused by no sign! Someone was badly injured in the accident. If the boy knew that understanding signs is as important as understanding languages, there would be another result.
In a word, it is easy for us to find understanding signs is as important as understanding languages.
