When he got there, he saw a lot of fruit, but much of it was expensive because they couldnt grow much because there was little water. Finally
29、he saw a big basket of some very red and long fruit. And it was the cheapest in the shop. So he went up and asked, “How much each kilo?” and the shop keeper said, “Two rupees(卢比).”Two rupees in India was nothing. So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But after he ate some
30、 of it: oh, my god! His eyes watered, his mouth watered and burnt, and his face became red. He jumped up and down, saying, “Ah! Ah! Ah!” But he still continued to eat the fruit!

36、bell-not a horn (喇叭), It was a tiny man pulling a rickshaw(黄包车), He stopped and picked up two children from the front door of their house and pulled them to school. For many people, the rickshaw in Kolkata has many advantages. When the traffic is bad, rickshaws find a way through the traffic. If you

However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should realize that sport you choose might have great influence on the environment. Some sports ar
44、e resourcehungry. Golf(高尔夫), as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also lots of water. Besides, huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental changes. For example, in the dry places of Portugal and Spain, golf
45、is often held responsible for (为承担责任) serious water shortage(短缺) in some local areas. There are many environmentfriendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You dont need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes, and you dont have to worry about resources and
46、your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also help you stay healthy. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and keep thin. Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using
47、environmentfriendly equipment and buying products(产品) made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms.” They are better replacements(替代) for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms(体育,体育馆) play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open
48、 spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership(会员身份). And best of all, its free. ( )62.
