They carry goods, work at wells and are necessary for getting from place to place. So a three-day festival, celebrates camels with a fur-cutting competition. Owners spend up to two years preparing their camels hair for the competition. They then cut the fur into beautiful traditional Indian patterns. Tuna(金枪鱼) throwing, Port Lincoln, Australia Every January since 1961, the Tunarama Festivala celebration of the sandwich-friendly sea creature in the fishing town of Port Lincolnhas attracted up to 25000 visitors for the tuna throwing competition. Twenty-pound fish are tied to the ends of a rope, swung around the head and thrown as far as possible.Nut-tree climbing, Indonesia Indonesias Dutch colonisers (殖民者) could be cruel. On days of celebration, they would tie a wheel of prizes to the top of a nut-tree, cover the tree with oil, and invite young locals to try to climb it. Indonesia has been independent since the mid-1940s, but the tradition of pole climbing, known as Panjat Pinang, is still popular. Since it's nearly impossible to get to the top of a pole by yourself, people now work in groups to reach the prizes.The vertical marathon, Singapore The 73-storey Swissotel is the tallest hotel in Southeast Asia, so the best choice for getting to the top is the lift. But since November 2004, athletic types have been going to the building once a year to race up its 1336 steps.

One of my favorite family photos shows me lying with my mother in the hospital bed, happy but unaware of the small, sleeping baby in the background.I stayed with my grandparents for the weekend of my brothers birth, excited about my new brother but not yet aware of what having a little brother would mean. I didnt truly realize what was going on until we were in the hospital room at Duke University-coincidentally (碰巧地), the same room in which I had been born two years earlier.When I looked at my brother for the first time, I felt a mixture of fear and interest. Little did I know that small, pink creature would grow up to be one of my favorite people in the world.In reality, though I am two years older than my brother, I am more often than not the real baby in the family. I am very lacking when it comes to common sense. Instructions constantly confuse me and I frequently find myself totally puzzled by things like knowing how to start the washing machine or manage the storage settings on my iPhone. Thats where Gibson comes in. The poor kid has had to guide me through more tasks than I would care to admit, but he never complains. Though I should probably be told to figure it out by myself, he always comes through. Im envious of his ability to readily answer the ever-present, “What do you want to do with your life?” question at family gatherings. “Be a doctor,” he says-a solid answer, completely opposite to my shaky one, “Well, Im an English major, so.”My brother truly is my best friend. No one understands me better, and there isnt anyone else I would want to be stuck with in our family. I may not have a clear idea of where Im headed, but he is stuck with me. 28. How did the author feel when he saw his brother for the first time?A. Angry and sad. B. Curious（好奇的） and scaredC. Excited and movedD.Happy and interested29. What does the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph mean?A. My brother is real baby in the family. B. My brother gets more love from my little brother.C. In fact, I seem to be less mature(成熟的) than my little brother.D. I am growing more slowly than my brother.30. What does the brother often help the author do?A. Help him with his studies.B. Help him deal with many daily tasks.C. Give him advice on how to choose a major.D. Comfort him when he is in a bad mood.31. What is the best title for this text?A. Stuck with me-My not-so-little Brother B. The Real Baby in the FamilyC. My Strange Family Gatherings D. The Feeling of Having a BrotherDEat like a king in the morning, a prince at noon, and a peasant at night. This saying is all about the importance of breakfast. And now scientists can tell us just why its so important. According to a study carried out at Imperial College London, UK, skipping the first meal of the day not only means you eat more at lunch, but also that your brain wants to find more unhealthy foods.The study suggests that there is a special part of our brain called the orbitofrontal cortex (眶额皮层), which plays an important part in making choices about what we eat. It is used for identifying the taste of food, especially when skipping breakfast. It is more likely to target high-calorie foods when youre on an empty stomach.Scientists did an experiment on this. Dr Tony Goldstone from Imperial College London, scanned (扫描) the brains of 21 men and women, around the age of 25. On the first day, these people skipped breakfast before the scans. On the second day, they had cereal (谷物), bread and jam as breakfast. After the scan on both days, they had their lunch.When the volunteers had skipped breakfast, they ate around 20 percent more at lunch, compared with days when they had eaten breakfast. Their brain scans also showed the orbitofrontal cortex was especially responsive to high-calorie foods. “We believe that bit identifies the value of foods how pleasant, how delicious something is,” Goldstone told The Guardian.32. From Paragraph 1, we learn that _.A. its easy to lose weight without breakfastB. scientists found out why eating breakfast is importantC. theres no need to have good food for supperD. eating breakfast makes your brain smarter33. Which is the correct order for the experiment on the first day? The volunteers skipped breakfast. The volunteers had lunch. The volunteers had a brain scan.A. B. C. D. 34. Which of the following is NOT true about the orbitofrontal cortex?A. It decides which food we like.B. It tells people to eat breakfast.C. It is part of our brain. D. It is active toward high-calorie foods.35. Which of the following can be the title for this passage?A. Experiments on breakfast B. Three meals a dayC. Breakfast still most important D.
