    I had the honor of being elected chief of my tribe(部落). With the title came great responsibility. It was my job to make peace with the Maori Tamaki tribe, whose village we visited. Their warriors leapt from a canoe and faced us down with fierce growls, bulging eyes and much swishing of sticks. They laid a palm frond on the ground and, as head honcho, I was compelled to accept this peace offering by picking it up, then touching noses with their chief. “Kia ora”, he said, welcoming us into the woodland home of his people.

    My “tribe” was my New Zealand tour group, who had forced me into being their leader. We’d been warned that the ceremony was a serious occasion and that to laugh or even smile would be considered rude to the Tamaki. After that it was non-stop fun as they showed their ancient customs and I received instruction in performing the haka, the war dance by the All Blacks rugby team.

    Then they pulled our dinner of lamb, beef and vegetables out of the ground. It had been slow-cooked in the heat that simmers just below the surface in the geothermal(地热的) area of North Island, a Maori tradition known as a hangi that goes back an extremely long period of time.

    Obviously, this form of it is put on for tourists but it was hugely enjoyable. The journey back to the hotel was alone worth the effort, our hilarious Maori elder driver being deserving of his own television show. “The wheels on the bus go round and round,” he got us singing, while he circuited(绕……环行) a roundabout three times.

    A couple of days from the end of my trip, there was still something missing, a New Zealand icon I yearned to see to make my grand tour complete. Riding over a hill, there it was – Aotearoa. The Maori name for New Zealand translates as “Land of the long white cloud”. Can I say “Kia ora, Aotearoa?” You bet I can.

    1.Which refers to the Maori cooking custom?

    A. Kia ora. B. Haka.

    C. Tamaki. D. Hangi.

    2.What does the author think of the driver?

    A. He was good at singing.

    B. He made the journey memorable.

    C. He was not familiar with the road.

    D. He performed well on a TV show.

    3.What is the best title for the text?

    A. A Taste of Maori Culture.

    B. Hello, New Zealand

    C. The Honor of Being a tribe Chief

    D. The Best of New Zealand

    The benefits of keeping a journal (日志)

    If you want to grow, one important thing you should do is keeping a journal. It may seem simple, but it can make a big difference in your life. I have been keeping journals for years. Writing all the lessons I learn and all the ideas I get has become a habit for me. 1. Here are some benefits you will get by keeping a journal.

    ◆ It prevents you from losing an idea. Have you ever gotten an idea only to lose it later because you didn’t write it down? 2. But then I developed the habit of writing down every idea that came into my mind as soon as possible. If I’m away from my computer, I usually write it down on a piece of paper that I bring wherever I go. I will then transfer the idea to the journal in my computer.

    ◆ It helps you review all the lessons you’ve learned. By reviewing your journal, you can quickly see the lessons you’ve learned and the ideas you’ve gotten. 3. You can use the ideas to propel (鞭策) yourself forward.

    ◆ 4. After keeping a journal for years, you can look back at it and see how far you’ve gone. Things that were big problems in the past might seem small today. The raw ideas you had in the past might have been realized today.

    ◆ It helps you expand your ideas. When you try to come up with a sentence to express an idea, you are thinking actively about it.5. In the end, you will expand your ideas.

    A. It trains you to express your thoughts.

    B. It allows you to see your progress over time.

    C. Just use whatever tool you feel comfortable with.

    D. And to be honest, I can’t imagine what my life would be like without it.

    E. Then you can do whatever necessary to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

    F. I often experienced that myself.

    G. Thinking actively helps you connect your idea to another idea.

    10．Under the Dome，a 103-minute documentary self-funded by former news anchor Chai Jing，was released on video-sharing websites in China on Feb 28．It has rapidly pushed the public awareness about air pollution and encouraged people to join in efforts to make a difference．
    Chai，39，said she started the work out of her"personal clashes"with smog after she gave birth to a daughter．"I sealed tight all the windows．I started every day by checking the air pollution index，"Chai said．Millions of other people are also doing the same．While they stop there，Chai goes deeper．"I don't want to live in this way．I need to find out where the smog comes from and what on earth is going on．"
    After a year's research，Chai reveals that the burning of coal and oil contributes to 60percent of PM2.5pollutants．She thus questions the country's energy consumption habits in the film．Then she goes on to disclose loopholes （漏洞） in car emissions regulations，saying some of the laws have been in place for years，but have never been applied．The film also points at China's petroleum and steel industries as the biggest sources of air pollution．
    The film has provoked national discussion after going viral online．Gruesome pictures of withered trees，murky skies，and babies under treatment have moved viewers．But most importantly，the film looks at solutions that the government and individuals can carry out to help．
    Cheng Chen，a 22-year-old student from Beijing Foreign Studies University，found the documentary"very inspiring"．"I used to think it's not my duty to deal with air pollution-I don't own a factory or a car，"said Cheng．"But Chai told me we share the same fate since we breathe the same air and there is a lot I can do．"
    However，some people are annoyed by the film's description of their polluted hometowns，especially when it shows a banner from Xingtai in Hebei saying"Congratulations to our city for no longer being ranked the last place among the country's 74cities in terms of air quality"．Such a feeling of"being insulted"，in Cheng's eyes，could also be a good thing．
    41．According to the passage，what is Under the Dome？C
    A．A 103-minute news report
    B．A video-sharing website．
    C．A self-made video
    D．A written documentary
    42．What made Chai begin the work？D
    A．Her worry about the bad effects of air pollution on her daughter．
    B．Her intention to persuade others to protect the air with her．
    C．She got tired of checking the air pollution index everyday．
    D．She didn't want to live in the same way as other people did．
    43．What does Paragraph 3mainly talk about？B
    A．Chai explains why she questioned the country's energy consumption habits．
    B．Chai reveals the factors contributing to air pollution．
    C．Chai argues that laws and regulations should be applied．
    D．Chai calls on people to protect the polluted environment．
    44．According to passage，which of the following is TRUE？B
    A．Most viewers are indifferent to Chai's opinion．
    B．Individuals actually can do a lot to help deal with air pollution．
    C．Some people are upset about the film because it is useless．
    D．We will die if we do nothing to prevent air pollution．
    45．What may be talked about in the next paragraph？B
    A．Other different opinions about Under the Dome．
    B．Solutions given by Chai to air pollution．
    C．Reasons why a feeling of being insulted is a good thing．
    D．What the government officials think of Under the Dome．
