Generally, wherever they take place, New Year traditions are designed to bring luck and fortune in the year ahead.Big fireworks displaysIn new Zealand, crowds gather at Auckland Sky Tower in the capital for an impressive fireworks display, and the same happens in Sydney Harbour in Australia. In Canada, people gather in Nathan Phillips Square, while in Brazil, people flock to the Copacabana beach to watch the sky being lit up by fireworks.Eating grapesWhen the clocks hit midnight in Spain, youll see people reaching for grapes. This is because there is a tradition to eat one grape each time the clock strikes at midnight. The idea is that this will bring you 12 lucky months in the year ahead. Ringing bellsSome countries, like Japan and South Korea, ring bells to start the New Year. In Japan, the bells are rung 108 times, so you can expect it to be quite noisy! 31.

Hitting clocks.B“Dont tell anyone.” We hear these words when someone tells a secret to us. But it can be hard to keep a secret. Were often tempted(诱惑) to “spill the beans”, even if we know we shouldnt. According to Shah, professor at Baylor College of Medicine, US, keeping a secret may become a trouble. This is because people often have a drive to share it with someone. But with secrets so often getting out, why do people share them at all? Shah explained that people often feel that it will help them keep a person as a friend. Another reason people share secrets is guilt over keeping it from someone close to them. A sense of distrust can develop when close people do not share it with each other. Talkative people could let secrets slip out, but this doesnt mean that it is a good idea only to share secrets with quiet people. A quiet person may be someone who keeps everything inside. To tell such a person a secret may cause stress for them, and make them talk about the secret. Shah said that to judge whether to tell someone a secret, youd better put yourself in their position. Think about how you would feel to be told that you mustnt give the information away. Shah also suggested that if you accidentally give up someones secret, you should come clean about it. Let the person know that their secret isnt so secret any more. 34. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “spill the beans”?A. Keep a secret. B. Give a secret away. 来%源#:&中教网C. Make beans out.

Its possible that quiet people also talk about secrets.37. Which of the following statements may be Shahs advice?A. Tell secrets to a person close to you in order not to feel guilty.来#源:中国%&教育出版网B. Put yourself in someones position and decide whether to tell a secret.C. Dont let the person whose secret is given up by you know the truth.D.

My master liked to go fishing in a little boat and he always took me with him. A man called Moely and a young boy called Xury also went with us.One day my master said to us “Some of my friends want to go fishing tomorrow. Get the boat ready.” So we put a lot of food and drink on the boat and the next morning we waited for my master and his friends. But when my master arrived, he was alone. “My friends dont want to go fishing today” he said to me, “But you go with Moely and the boy and catch some fish for our supper tonight.” “Yes, master ” I answered quietly but inside I was excited, my chance came!We took the boat out to sea. For a time we fished quietly and then I moved carefully behind Moely and knocked him into the water. “Swim!” I cried. My master liked to shoot sea birds so there were guns on the boat. Quickly I took one of these guns. “Go back to the shore, or Ill shoot you through the head!” So Moely turned and swam back to the shore as quickly as he could. Xury looked at me with his mouth open because I had always been such a good and quiet servant. He did not know what kind of man I was! But Xury was happy to help me. “Ill go over the world with you!” he cried. Later, we managed to get more water and food to sail on. Several days had passed.

Recently a Chinese biological researcher brought that possibility into reality. On Nov 26, He Jiankui from Shenzhen announced the birth of healthy twin girls earlier in the month. They came into being with gene editing(编辑) technology that protected them from HIV. 来源:中&国教育出%版网His announcement caused a heated discussion. In a signed open letter on Nov 27, 140 Chinese researchers in HIV/AIDS from China and abroad spoke ill of the “unethical”(不合伦理的) research. They questioned the need for Hes project. The letter said that there are many treatments that prevent babies born to HIV parents from being ill. In fact, there are many medicines for this. The research only went ahead when it was clear that children would have terrible diseases. But the idea that research could find ways to change genes that cause cancer may be exciting, but it is also troubling. There are worries about babies designed to be with better looks and skills. People are also worried that gene editing changes the human genome(基因组), which means that changes will be handed onto future generations and spread through the population. Such research also raises ethical questions. If successful baby gene editing technology becomes real, who will be able to use it? Will it be only the wealthy? And if people live much longer lives, will there be an influence on the size of the world population? Those questions are difficult to answer. But one thing is certain: If the cures can affect not just those who are treated, but the humans as a whole, its important to make sure that scientific developments arent getting too far ahead of our understanding of how to use them. 42. Why does the writer introduce the birth of healthy twin girls in Paragraph 1?来源#:中教&网%A. To announce the news. B. To introduce the topic. 来源*:中国教育出#&版网C. To attract readers interest. D. To make a good beginning. 43. What did the 140 researchers think of Hes project?A. They spoke highly of the project. B. The project was really important.来源:zzstep%#.co&mC. They doubted if the project was necessary. D. The project could brin
