Gypsies

According to the linguistic and genetic researches, ancestors of the Gypsies left the land of India in the amount that did not go beyond 1,000 people. Today there are about 10 million Gypsies in the world. Some scientists believe that Gypsies were Egyptians.

Sumerians

Sumerians must be the mysterious people in the ancient world. We know nothing about their origin and nothing about the origin of their language. The Sumerians were rather advanced—they became the first in the Near East to use a wheel, to create an irrigation system and their unique writing. And besides, they were impressively good at maths and astronomy.

Maya

Some scientists believe that they are connected to legendary atlantes (男像柱), others suppose their ancestors were Egyptians. It’s thought that the Maya created an efficient agricultural system and had deep astronomy knowledge. Their calendar was used by other people of Central America. Maya applied the hieroglyphic writing (象形文字) system. Now it seems that the Maya came from nowhere and disappeared nowhere.

【题目】根据节选小说内容，回答问题。

“Hello,”said Bruno.

“Hello,”said the boy.

The boy was smaller than Bruno. He wore the same striped pajamas that all the other people on that side of the fence wore, and a striped cloth cap on his head. He wasn’t wearing any shoes or socks and his feet were rather dirty.

When Bruno first approached the boy, he was sitting cross-legged on the ground, staring at the dust(尘土) beneath him. However, after a moment he looked up and Bruno saw his face. It was quite a strange face too. ... When the boy looked at him, all Bruno could see was an enormous pair of sad eyes staring back.

Bruno was sure that he had never seen a skinnier or sadder boy in his life. He thought that he had better talk to him.

...

Bruno stared at the boy and considered asking him why he looked so sad but hesitated(犹豫) because he thought it might sound rude. He knew that sometimes people who were sad didn’t want to be asked about it; sometimes they’d offer the information themselves and sometimes they wouldn’t stop talking about it for months on end, but on this occasion, Bruno decided that he should wait before saying anything.

Bruno sat down on the ground on his side of the fence and crossed his legs like the little boy and wished that he had brought some chocolate with him or perhaps a pastry that they could share.

“I live in the house on this side of the fence,” said Bruno. ... “I can see right over the fence from there. I’m Bruno, by the way.”

“I’m Shmuel,” said the little boy.

...

“... How old are you?” Bruno asked.

Shmuel thought about it and looked down at his fingers and they wiggled in the air, as if he was trying to calculate(计算). “I’m nine,” he said. “My birthday is April the fifteenth nineteen thirty-four.”

Bruno stared at him in surprise. “What did you say?” he asked.

“I said my birthday is April the fifteenth nineteen thirty-four.”

Bruno’s eyes opened wide and his mouth made the shape of an O. “I don’t believe it,” he said.

“Why not?” asked Shmuel.

“No,” said Bruno, shaking his head quickly. “I don’t mean I don’t believe you. I mean I’m surprised, that’s all. Because my birthday is April the fifteenth too. We were born on the same day.”

Shmuel thought about this. “So you’re nine too,” he said.

“Yes. Isn’t that strange?”

“Very strange,” said Shmuel. “Because there may be dozens of Shmuels on this side of the fence but I don’t think that I’ve ever met anyone with the same birthday as me before.”

“We’re like twins,” said Bruno. “A little bit,” agreed Shmuel.

Bruno felt very happy all of a sudden...

【1】How did Bruno feel about the boy at the first sight?

【2】After hesitation, what did Bruno decide to do?

【3】Why did Bruno stare at Shmuel in surprise?

【4】Why did Bruno feel very happy all of a sudden?

【5】What kind of boy do you think Bruno was? And why?

Last week, I attended a lecture by a teacher in his thirty. He was energetic and confidence. He spoke very fast and I could understand that he said. He mainly focused at how to learn the English well. In addition, he showed us how to write neatly, letter by letter. He kept telling us, "Slow down!" “Trusting yourself" - Write carefully!". To be honest, I never thought much of writing until today, when my heart touched. At the end of the lecture, all the people present break into cheers. The lecture was so interesting that I benefited a lot from them.
