They say that “travel is the best teacher” and there is no better example of this idea than the Ming
dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake(1587-1641). His book The Travel Lake of Xu Xiake, not only encouraged a love of travelling among Chinese people but provided important scientific information about the country's land and geography.
Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family, Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age and wanted to travel. When he was 18, however, Xu's father died and so, it seemed, did his travelling dreams. He now was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60-year-old mother as tradition required.
But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son's love of travel and valuing the knowledge he could get from such experiences, this modern-thinking woman refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was less farm work.
So at the age of twenty and with his mother's support, Xu set off for the first time, leaving behind
not only his mother but his new wife as well. He would repeat this goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years. During this time, he travelled throughout the Ming dynasty, carefully studying the lands he passed through and recording his experiences and many discoveries in a diary. This diary, which once had over 500,000 words, would eventually become The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake.
Although rich,Xu avoided comfortable travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This
way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world. Many of his trips were to hard-to-reach mountain areas, and through wild forests where few people lived. His willingness to face hardships came at a cost, however. Progress was slow and tiring and he was frequently sick, robbed and beaten during his journeys.
Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey, a 4-year trip through the
southwest of China. He died in 1641, soon after returning to his hometown for the last time. When his diary was finally printed years after his death, much of it had been destroyed or lost. Although incomplete, it still made Xu a travelling legend around the world.
( )26.What is the passage mainly about?
A. The general details of Xu Xiake's life story.
B. The difficulties Xu Xiake faced in his travels.
C. The important discoveries made by Xu Xiake.
D. The influence of Xu's book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake.
( )27. Which of the following best describes Xu’s mother?
A. Strict but interesting. B. Kind but uneducated.
C. Helpful and hardworking. D.Supportive and open-minded.
( )28. Why did Xu prefer walking during his travels?
A. It gave him the chance to meet different kinds of people.
B. It helped him to save money and travel for a longer time.
C. It allowed him to see and study the environment in detail.
D. It was the only way to reach the places he was interested in.
( )29. What is true about Xu's book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake?
A. It was finally made public after Xu died.
B. It made Xu very famous during his lifetime.
C. It was the first travel book ever written in China.
D. It was mainly about the different people of China.
( )30. What is the correct order for the following events from Xu's life?
a.He went on his first journey.
b.His book was finally printed.
c.He returned to his hometown for the last time.
d.He developed an interest in books about other places.
e. He started managing the family farm after his father died.

Once an American asked a Chinese, “Do you think your ancestors will come out and enjoy the food you put in front of the graves?" The Chinese replied,“Will your ancestors come out to smell the flowers you put in front of the graves?" The joke tells us that every culture has its own culture bias. The following are some common cultural differences.
Expression of disagreement. Americans are famous for being direct. It is very common for them to show their respectful disagreement with colleagues and managers.Everyone is encouraged to tell their different opinions in group meetings. But in China, directly disagreeing is rude, especially with your boss and elders.

people are not always punctual. Especially when you are invited to have dinner in a Chinese home, you had better be late for a while.
Terms of address(称呼). The United States is a very informal society. Many kids call their
parents and teachers their given names directly, but in China it is very impolite and is not allowed. And Americans often use someone's first name at the first time they meet each other. But in China, people are called formally for a much longer period, and first names are not used until the person gives permission.

You step out of your house with sunglasses and cover yourself in a huge scarf to protect yourself
from strong rays of sun. Once inside the room, you safely take them off. But on the other hand, you are also away from the richest Vitamin (维他命) D in your body. 36
Why do you need sunlight? 37 Many studies have shown how much sunlight people get has to do with their height and growth, especially babies. That means in the first few months if a baby gets enough sunshine, he or she is more likely to grow much taller.
38 It is important to put 18% of the body in the sun, three to four times a week. For example,it is helpful to stay out in the sun for 30 minutes, between 11 a. m. and 2 p. m., three times a week in the summer.
39 While most health experts insist on the goodness of sunlight, there are others who feel that sunlight results in more bad than good. Dr. Kiran Lohia explains. "Sun causes skin cancer(癌症) sometimes.”
So instead of increasing the time you spend in the sun, the doctor thinks it is better to have a healthy eating habit to get enough Vitamin D.
40 No food alone is enough to make up for your body's Vitamin D levels. But mixing different types of food can make a difference. Most studies have shown that there are good ones for you to get Vitamin D such as milk, tofu, fish and eggs.
根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺、内容完整。

B. What do you eat?
