A warm,dusty wind was blowing over the harbour(海港) from the south.Where it stopped,it left a thin layer of fine African sand,a bit of unwanted Africa,and also unwanted by France.
Clive stood with Dick,a racing driver,in the ship,watching the cars being taken from the land.Some of the cars were already in the ship.
‘I hope this wind will have changed by the time we get there,’the driver said,staring up at the cream-coloured sky.‘These conditions wouldn't be any good for racing’.
‘
Don’t worry,’Clive said with a smile.‘It'll hardly trouble us,since Argentina is about 7,000 miles away.’Surprise came over the driver’s face.‘Is that so? We should leave it behind then,shouldn’t we?’
They talked for a while about Argentina.Clive was going on business,but Dick was to take part in a motor-race.It was his first important event outside Europe.He mentioned the date of the race December 30,and added,‘I’ve never raced in cold winter before.’
Their conversation was then turned to the young driver.He was an engineer,twenty-six years old.Motor-racing was his great love,and he was recently driving a car made in France.He spoke well enough,so Clive thought he must have had a good education.However,something seemed to have gone wrong or was different these days.Here he was ,going to Argentina,but without much idea where the country was .When he spoke of a cousin of his who worked in South Africa ‘Is there any chance of this ship calling there?’ Clive realized that the young man had no map of the world in his mind.
He had plans to race in South Africa and in Japan.To him,they were places on the earth,and probably that was all.Clive was interested because the man seemed cheerfully unconscious of his lack of knowledge.What was worse,he even thought everyone else was as foolish as him.
Dust blew into their faces.“This wind from Africa…”but he did not go on .Was there any point of his saying so?To the young man,it might have been the same as a wind from China.Were there many people,he wondered,who did not know where they were going,or even where they were?
1．Clive and Dick were on the ship because they ______.
[ ]
A．were leaving for South America

If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result, we are growing old unnecessarily soon.
Professor Tai Du Matsuzsws wanted to find out why some bodily healthy farmers soon lost ability to think and reason and how the speed of getting old could be slowed down.

Contraction of front and side parts as cells die off, was seen in some people in their thirties, but it was still not found in some 60 and 70-year-olds.

语篇理解
Books are for reading, but man must bring to their reading a desire to learn and a power of absorbing. Reading should be active, not passive.
When students first go to a library, they may be at a loss as to what to read of all the different subjects. Well, Bacon tells you to “look at weak places in your armor（盔甲）”, and shows you how to fill up the blanks（空白）in your knowledge. On the other hand ,it is no good just trying to fill your mind with Knowledge. Knowledge in itself is often useless. A mind filled with too much knowledge is like a room too full of furniture; a man cannot walk about freely in it, and look out of the windows. It is much better to concentrate on a few subjects which interest you and to deal lightly with the others than to march heavily through the whole range of learning, like a silly tourist（旅游者）going through a museum and not missing a single object. If you try to master every subject you may become very wise, but you will be very lonely and you will probably lose all your friends. So you must learn to pick and choose , and you must also learn to look here and there in a library like a camel eating grass on the grassland. If you watch it eating, you will see that although he is supposed to be one of the most stupid animals in the world, he has at least one of the qualities of the cultured man, the power to pick and choose. A student looking for mental food in a library should take the camel as his model.
1．The writer thinks that one must ______.
[ ]
A．read as many books as he can
B．try to read books on all the different subjects
C．only read books on subjects that interest him

[ ]
A．neither of them is interested in knowledge
B．the man reads books as much as a camel eats grass
C．neither of them can be considered wise
D．both of them have the ability to select
3．The term “mental food” at the end of the passage refers to ______.
[ ]
A．books B．grassland
C．brain D．subjects
4．In the second paragraph the writer mainly discusses ______.
[ ]
A．how to compare furniture with books
B．how to select reading materials
C．how to avoid missing anything interesting in the library.
D．why books must be absorbed
5．The writer thinks that it is ______ to try to master every subject.
[ ]
A．necessary B．possible
C．not good D．not interesting
