D
The Sahara Festival is a celebration of the very recent past. The three-day event is not fixed to the same dates each year, but generally takes place in November or December. It is well attended by tourists, but even better attended by locals.
During the opening ceremonies（典礼）, after the official greetings from the government leaders, people who attend the festival begin to march smartly before the viewing stands, and white camels transport their riders across the sands. Horsemen from different nations display their beautiful clothes and their fine horsemanship. One following another, groups of musicians and dancers from all over the Sahara take their turn to show off their wonderful traditional culture. Groups of men in blue and yellow play horns and beat drums as they dance in different designs. On their knees in the sand, a group of women in long dark dresses dance with their hair: their long, dark, shiny hair is thrown back and forth in the wind to the rhythm of their dance.
The local and visiting Italian dogs are anxious to run after hares. The crowd is on its feet for the camel races. Camels and riders run far into the distance, and then return to the finish line in front of the cheering people.
Towards the evening, there comes the grand finale of the opening day, an extremely exciting horserace. All the riders run very fast on horseback. Some riders hang off the side of their saddles. Some even ride upside down — their legs and feet straight up in the air — all at full speed. Others rush down the course together, men arm in arm, on different horses. On and on they went. So fast and so wonderful!

Things People Over 50 Wish They’d Done Differently At 25
Save more money. Retirement is no joke, as you’ll learn by 50. As you stare at the poor reality of your retirement, you might find yourself counting every penny you wasted on worthless things. So pack your lunch, find street parking or take the bus.1.
Travel more. You’re only young once. So before you get tied down by responsibilities of a spouse (配偶)and kids, it’s a good idea to explore the world and all it has to offer. Consider working abroad.2.Just go somewhere that will make you look up and around rather than down at your smart phone.
Slow down. Too many of us waste precious moments because we’re too busy connecting to our digital products or on social media. Life is short. Enjoy it. We think a reader put it perfectly: “I would
not have been so busy to be successful and work 80 hours a week.3.I would have defined myself by more than what I did for a living.”
4.As the saying goes, nobody can take your accomplishments away from you. Education is one of those accomplishments. Many readers wished they would have either gone to college. Whether it’s bad to land you the career of your dreams, or to meet people from different walks of life or to learn to see things a little differently, education is always a good choice.
5.By 25 you might have noticed your metabolism(新陈代谢)slowing down. Looking after yourself at this time is about creating habits (and breaking bad ones) that will lead to a long life in which you’re healthy enough to do everything you want to do.
A. Get a better education.
B. Consider your health.
C. I would have enjoyed my life slowly.
D. Visit the city you dream about all day.
E. Focus on trying to build a good credit history.

In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭便车).
I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured （使…放心）me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.
Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.
After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.”

科目：高中英语 来源：2017届江西省盟校高三第二次联考英语试卷（解析版） 题型：阅读理解
It's common for students to hear the same standard,cliched advice:"dream big","follow yours dreams",and "reach for the stars." But Student of the Year judge Alien Ma has something a bit different to add—"be practical".
The judge knows a thing or two about both big dreams and practical applications,and has seen plenty of students achieve both.
"We are looking to nurture talents,in this case technology talents,says Ma,CEO of Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP). "When someone has this kind of crazy idea or brilliant idea—sometimes you can’t tell the difference—they need to find somebody to help them realize their dream."
And with all the big and sometimes crazy ideas Ma has heard from students through HKSTP,he says it is important to find a balance between creative ideas and practical applications.And part of this means being able to see the benefit of patience and long-term goals.
Ma says he sees many students try to get good marks through easy classes,rather than challenging themselves with harder courses that will pay off with knowledge that would be useful for their future.
"You should be looking out for your future,"he says.
And for secondary school students,Ma says this means having a broad understanding of the world around them, especially as it relates to Science,Technology,Engineering and Maths (Stem) knowledge.
"I think a lot of students today have this broad,sometimes international understanding,"he says.Ma sees many strong students using their knowledge to help others.And for him,these are the students that really stand out from the crowd,as they're making the connection between their knowledge and how they fit into the world around them."They don’t just study,they’re not just scholars,"he says."They are good scholars,but also good sports players or good musicians,for example,but they also give back to society.That’s what impresses me the most."
1.What do the underlined words mean in Para1?
A. Do not dream big any more.
B. Realizing dreams is equally important.
C. The standard advice is no longer useful.
D. Anyone who dreams big is great.
2.Why does Ma think students need help in realizing their dreams?
A. They are short of patience.
B. They can't balance study and life well.
C. They are far away from being practical.
D. They can’t tell crazy and bright ideas apart.
3.What is Ma' suggestion for students nowadays?
A. Set a goal. B. Fit into society.
C. Begin with easy classes. D. Take the long-term view.
4.What kind of feeling does Ma express in the last paragraph?
A. Politeness. B. Inspiration.
C. Admiration. D. Hopefulness.
