Talks went smoothly but differences remained. So Martin Bayer himself, the CEO of the German Company, come to Moscow to head the talks. Besides caring about his business, the CEO wanted to go to Russia to hunt bears. Martin Bayer was one of the greatest hunters of our time (and the Russians knew about it). He went to the Sahara more than hundred times and hunted lions, crocodiles; he hunted polar bears in the North Pole and tigers in the rain forests of India. But he had never hunted Russian bears. So the Russians decided to organize a bear hunt for Mr. Bayer to sweeten the talks. This wasn't a simple task. Some people in the west still believe that bears may be found and seen everywhere in Russian cities just like squirrels may be seen in our back yards. This is not true. The closest place one may find bears in the wild is maybe 2,500 miles away from Moscow. However, a solution was quickly found. The Russian businessmen went to Moscow Circus马戏团and for $2,000 bought a very old bear. This bear used to amuse and amaze audiences in many countries for 30 years, but got and looked too old, and was retired. “Be careful, the Russian bears are very dangerous, and frightening, they told Mr. Bayer. “If compared to the Russian bears, your African lions are nothing more than harmless cats. The bear was brought to a forest 50 miles from Moscow and was left there. Mr. Bayer was told that bears were plentiful in that forest and that many cattle and even people had been eaten in the surrounding villages. Meanwhile, an 18-year old female drove through the forest on a motorcycle and suddenly saw a bear (no bears had been seen in those places for 200 years). She was frightened, fell, left her helmet and her motorcycle and ran away. Mr. Bayer was excited and ready to hunt. This could become the most successful part of his extraordinary hunting experience. The next moment Mr. Bayer saw a bear in a helmet driving on a motorcycle through the forest in front of him. The bear had a happy expression on his face, as he was doing something he had been doing in the circus for 30 years: circling on a motorcycle! Mr. Bayer lives in a private mental institution near Hamburg happily ever after. The equipment was never sold to Russia. It was sold to Iraq instead. 51. Why did the Russians invite Mr. Bayer to hunt bears?A. Russian bears are famous for their cruelty.B. They managed to find a bear for hunting.C. They expected the trade to be successful.D. There was a bear in Moscow Circus. 52. Why did the Russians say “Be careful, the Russian bears are very dangerous, and frightening?A. To tell Mr. Bayer that many people had been killed by bears.B. To make Mr. Bayer feel the hunting really challenging.C. To warn Mr. Bayer to mind his safety while hunting.D. To tell Mr. Bayer that the bear is really dangerous. 53. We can infer from the last paragraph that _.A. Mr. Bayer has gone madB. the bear injured him badlyC. he has worked in a mental institution since thenD. the trade has gone smoothly between Russian and Iraq 54. Which would be the best title of the passage?A. Mr. Bayer, a Brave HunterB. Russian Bears, Dangerous AnimalsC. Dont Hunt in RussiaD. Dont Deal with the Russians B Every kid wishes to be an adult. But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind. They become "kidults" (kid+adult). Being a kidult has become a lifestyle-choice among young people across Asia.Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory. Other kidults still enjoy children's stories and fairy tales. For example, Bloomsbury even published the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children's book!"Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure, child-like emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society," said Lee Sojung, professor of Foreign Studies at Hankuk University(韩国外国语大学). He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together. He may be right.Tim Greenhalgh,a professor explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They value childhood because life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.55. We can infer from the article that _.A. Kidults miss their childhood so much that they can't give up their toys B. Bloomsbury knows some kidults don't want people to know that they are kidultsC. Kidults like to have vitamins very muchD. Some toys are so interesting that even adults like them very much56. According to the author, being a kidult is good in some way except that _.A. it can improve the relationship between parents and their kidsB. it can help kidults feel relaxedC. it is helpful to solve some social problemsD. it can make people loyal to one's parents57. According to the writer, _.A. being a kidult is nothing wrong B. kidults have mental problemsC. our society is very dull D. some people can never grow upC Yellowstone Weather Yellowstone National Park is at high altitude(海拔). Most of the park is above 7,500 feet (2,275 meters).Yellowstone's weather is unpredictable. In summer, it may be warm and sunny with temperatures in the high 70s. At night in any given month, the temperature may drop close to freezing. So it is best to come prepared for cold evenings and mornings, especially if you are camping or hiking. When you leave your campsite, please leave it prepared for possible thundershowers and wind.A sunny warm day may become fiercely stormy with wind, rain, sleet and sometimes snow.Without enough clothing, and easy day hike or boat trip can turn into a battle for survivalSeasonal Weather InformationSpringCold and snow continue into May, although temperatures gradually climb.
