In 1971, readers around the world were astonished by some photographs which appeared in newspapers. Hidden deep in the rainforest
s of an island in the Philippines, was an ethnic (种族的) 36 called the Tasaday. Not until that moment did anyone have any 37 of these people. They didn’t have an agricultural economy; they hun
ted animals and 38 fruit from the plants in the rainforest. They carried tools made of
stone, lived in 39 and wore clothes made of leaves. Unknown until 1971, they 40 became world famous. After that, there were TV 41 and books about them; people said their simple lives showed that human beings could be good and kind if they were not 42 by modern life. Then after 1974 the region was closed by the government and the world 43 about them.
In 1986, a Swiss journalist, Oswald Iten, decided to visit the Tasaday. The journey 44 thick rainforests and across rivers was hard and dangerous. Mr. Iten was 45 killed by the soldiers, villagers and businessmen who wanted to take the wood from the rainforest. Finally, Mr. Iten 46 and found the caves of the Tasaday 47 . The people were living in nearby huts and they were all 48 jeans and T-shirts, not leaves. He thought that perhaps they were not an ethnic minority 49 .
When he 50 to Switzerland, Mr. Iten wrote about the Tasaday people in the newspapers. He said he thought that they were just ordinary farmers, poor, but not 51 from anyone else. He believed that in 1971, the government told “the Tasaday” to 52 they were native people from thousands of years ago, so that tourists---and money---would start 53 into the region.
One group of experts said that they really were people who had no 54 with modern life before 1971; another group said they were just 55 the part. So who are these people, really? Perhaps we’ll never really be sure.

Joshua Bechtold, 14, and the other students at the Riverside School in Lyndonville, Vermont, worked many months to get Helios ready for the 1999 American Tour de Sol ( "Sol" is the Latin word for "sun"). They named their car after Helios, the sun god in Greek mythology (神话).
The 4-year-old Tour de Sol encourages the use of "green", or environmentally friendly, cars to help reduce pollution and save energy. It's not a race. Cars are judged on fuel efficiency (耗油量) rather than speed. In the week-long event, 44 cars took the 350-mile tour from Waterbury, Connecticut, to Lake George, New York. Of the 23 student cars, Helios was the only one built by middle school students. A teacher drove Helios, but the children talked with people wherever they stopped along the road. "That was my favorite part," says Anna Browne, 15. "We explained how the car runs." Due in part to old, inefficient batteries (电池), Helios finished fourth—out of four—in its kind, the sun-powered class. "We were there for the fun of it," Anna says. "We're proud of Helios," says Ariel Gleicher, 14. "It's a car that's good for the environment."
1. What is special about the car Helios in the text?
A. It was built by middle school students.
B. It has an attractive design.
C. It was made in 1971.
D. It won the fourth prize.
2. How many sun-powered cars took part in the race?
A. 1.
B. 4.
C. 23.
D. 44.
3. What would be the best title for the text?
A. The Making of Helios
B. 1999 American Tour de Sol
C. Sun-powered Cars on the Road
D. Use of Green Cars in Connecticut
4. The students felt proud of Helios because
A. it could run as far as 350 miles
B. it was favored by many children
C. it had high-quality batteries
D. it was driven by clean energy

In 1971 a young man who grew up very poor was traveling across the country, trying to make a new start for himself. Along the way he had completely run out of money and was forced to spend the night in his car. This continued until one morning, after a week of sleeping in his car, he walked nervously into a restaurant and ordered a big breakfast.
After eating his first good meal in weeks, he found himself lying to the waiter, telling him he had lost his wallet. The waiter, who was also the owner, walked behind the chair where the young man had been sitting. He bent down, and came up with a $20 bill that looked as if it had fallen on the floor and said, “Son, you must have dropped this,” the owner said. The young man couldn’t believe his luck! He quickly paid for the breakfast, left a tip, bought gas with the change, and headed West.
On the way out of town, he began to understand what that fellow did. Maybe nobody dropped the money at all. “Maybe that fellow just knew I was in trouble and he helped me in a way that didn’t embarrass(使困窘) me. So I just made a promise to help other people if I can.”
Later, he worked very hard and became a rich man. Now he lives near Kansas City. Each year he gives away thousands of dollars. He is known as the “Secret Santa” because at Christmas time each year, he personally hands money out to those on the street and at restaurants. Last year, he gave more than $50,000 away in Kansas City.
【小题1】The underlined word “this” in the second paragraph refers to .
| A．a wallet | B．his luck | C．the $20 bill | D．his tip |

Most British telephone cards are just plain green, but card collecting is becoming a popular hobby in Britain and collectors even have their own magazine, International Telephone Cards. One reason for their interest is that cards from around the world come in a wide variety of different and often very attractive designs. There are 100, 000 different cards in Japan alone, and there you can put your own design onto a blank card simply by using a photograph or a business card.
The first telephone cards, produced in 1976, were Italian. Five years later the first British card appeared, and now you can buy cards in more than a hundred countries. People usually start collecting cards because they are attractive, small and light , and they do not need much space. It is also a cheap hobby for beginners, although for some people it becomes a serious business. In Paris, for example, there is a market where you can buy only telephone cards, and some French cards cost up to 4, 000 pounds. The first Japanese card has a value of about 28, 000 pounds. Most people only see cards with prices like these in their collectors magazine.
