It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jacks dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp. “So,” Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. “How did this place get its name? ” “Are you sure you want to hear it? Its a scary story,” warned Jack. “Of course!” cried out Tom. “If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldnt have chosen this place!” “Ok, but dont say I didnt warn you,” said Jack, and he began this tale. “Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in . In those days, the area looked quite different - it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystal-clear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice. “You are clearing too much land,” warned one old man. “The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it.” “Silly fool,” said Dennis to himself. “If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. Ill become wealthier. Hes just jealous!” “Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.” “What happened? ” Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire. “The land hit back - just as the old man warned” Jack shrugged. “Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found.” “What a stupid story,” laughed Tom. “Plants cant ” Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted (晕倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Toms face. It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke. 26.

Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do, in truth, though, no boy is an island; boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happier and healthier when they have solid relationships with peers (同龄人) Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships, most boys consider their friends a very important part of their lives, and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are. A recent study of 10 to 15yearold boys and girls found that girls friendships are actually more fragile. Girls tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys, and girls are more hurt by the end of a friendship. Boys are the living definition of the phrase “peer group”；they love games with rules, competition, and doing things together. Boys seem to enjoy, even need the opportunity to test themselves against others, and many lasting friendships begin in karate (空手道) class or on the basketball court. Competence and skill are widely respected; being picked last for a team or left out altogether is an experience that can haunt (萦绕心头) a boy for years. As boys mature, the friendship becomes even more important, and it frequently widens to include girls. During the teen years, friends can become the most important part of a boys lifeand a part in which his parents are not included. The confusion of being a teenager leads boys to form close bonds with friends. There is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is “always there for me”, someone he can trust. They may be partners in crime or partners in study, but the friendship of adolescent boys can run surprisingly deep. 31.The common belief of adults is that boys_. A. dont care about others as much as girls B. dont value friendship as much as girls C. have the same friendship as girls D. have healthier friendship than girls 32.

As a boy gets older, he tends to_. A. widen his circle of friends to include different kinds of people B. shift his focus from his friends to himself C. leave his parents out of his friendship D. be confused about what a friendship is 35. Whats the best title for the text? A. Friendships between Boys and Girls B. Boys and Their Friendship C. Childhood and Adolescent Friendship D. Tips on Making Friends with Boys C “Long time no see” is a very interesting sentenceWhen I first read this sentence from an American friends email，I laughedI thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish Obviously, it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruled English grammar and structure! Later on，my friend told me that it is a standard American greetingI was too thrilled to believe herHer words could not convince me at allSo I did a research on googlecomTo my surprise，there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “Long time no see” This sentence has been widely used in emails，letters，newspapers，movies，books，or any other possible placesThough it is sort of informal，it is part of the language that Americans use dailyIronically，if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word，the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentenceSome people believe that it came from Charlie Chans moviesIn the 1930s，Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world wide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screensDetective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius. “Long time no see” was his trademarkSoon after Charlie Chan, “Long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of stew. All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together，and they change the color and taste of each other. American Chinese, though a minority ethnic（少数民族的成员）group in the United States，is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew You can have some other examples than adoptions from Chines，such as pizza from Italian，susi from Japanese, and dj vu from French etc. There is a long list! Americans do not just simply borrow something from othersThey will modify it and make it their own，so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant, or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea with honey in a grocery store. Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays, I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the futureIn this way the American stew keeps adding richness and flavor 36.

According to the passage，it can be inferred that _ A. detectives translate the phrase “Long time no see” B. Hollywood made “Long time no see” popular C. the huge pot of stew greatly affects all kinds of languages D. cultures can be changed in the huge pot of stew 39. The main idea of the passage is that _ A. some Chinese expressions are introduced into English B. youll not be surprised at a tofu in a restaurant in America C. some American expressions can be used in China D. American English keep being enriched from different cultures 40. According to the passage, which of the following statements is not true? A.
