Some dances gain more popularity than others because they can be performed to different kinds of music and the steps change accordingly. One such dance is waltz(华尔兹).
There is a basic form for waltz, which you can see in this drawing of a dancing couple. The man places one arm around the woman’s waist and she places her opposite hand on his shoulder. Then, they stretch their other arms out from their bodies and clasp hand. If someone tries to teach you a formal kind of dancing, chances are your teacher will start with the waltz. Have you ever tried to dance like this?
There are lots of different kinds of waltz, all performed to different types of waltz music. The music might be fast or slow but what they all have is a regular one-two-three, one-two-three rhythm.
The traditional form is the old-school waltz in which dancers turn all the time with a hopping(跳跃), springy step. This waltz has a slow, smooth, gliding step. There’s also the Mexican waltz, which moves much faster. Listen to this Mexican waltz music and you can imagine how fast the dancers had to move.
Formal dancing has even become a profession, with people entering competitions. Have you ever seen a formal dance competition?
Today, ballroom dancing is almost considered a competitive sport; professionals perform different dances, each with strict rules. Everything from where the dancers place their hands to how they move is judged. In the glide waltz, dancers are judged by how smoothly they move. “ I can dance with a glass of water on my head,” is a well known sentence used by skilled dancers in the old days. In the past, some people learned how to dance by reading books, while others studied with a teacher called the “dancing master.” How do people learn to dance today?

Cyril was a small town. The houses there were all made of wood; almost everything in the houses were made of wood, too. And all the houses faced south. The town was never peaceful. Fire broke out once a week on summer afternoons. People were puzzled who was the real firebug (纵火犯).
One day a big fire broke out. It was said that a Negro(黑人) had jumped out of the house on fire, so the police arrested all the Negroes in the street. However, there were fires breaking out when the Negroes were in prison.
Mauson, a physics teacher, didn’t believe that the Negroes were the firebugs, and decided to find out who the real firebug was. One day, he was invited to drink in a pub and happened to notice that many bottles and plastic plates were baked by the hot sunrays. Suddenly he realized what the actual fact was. He dashed out of the pub to his friend’s house nearby, which also faced south. He made an experiment there to prove his idea.
The next Saturday afternoon, Mauson asked some policemen to come to the house. They were told that the real firebug would be shown there. At that time, the sun was shining full into the house and it became hotter and hotter inside the room. “Now,” said Mauson, “this house will soon catch fire.” People looked at each other in surprise. Mauson asked them to look at the bottles and focus on the table cloth. After a while the cloth gave off a burning smell and began to catch fire!
The mystery of fire was discovered, but the police wouldn’t believe him and insisted that Negroes had been the firebugs. Instead they arrested Mauson and put him into prison. But Mauson said he would never turn against science.

A. on Sundays B. on summer afternoons C. at any time D. on winter mornings
47. Why did the police arrest all the Negroes?
A. Because one of them had been seen to set on a fire. B. Because they were considered to be the firebugs.

48. Drinking in a pub, Mauson realized ________.
A. he needed to leave the pub B. he needed to back the bottles
C. it was too hot in the pub D. who was the real firebug
49. By making an experiment, it was proved that the real firebug was ________.

Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a county. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country's economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country; keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants.
Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country's economy can suffer.
On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Business can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.
Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.
51 .Which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this selection?
A. It is extremely important to develop tourism. B. Building roads and hotels is essential.
C. Support facilities are highly necessary. D. Planning is of great importance to tourism.
52.The underlined word “inhabitants”（in Paragraph 1） probably means _______.
A. tourists B. passengers C. population D. citizens
53. Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT _______.
A. a bad effect on other industries B. a change of tourists' customs
C. over-crowdedness of places of interest D. pressure on traffic
54. It can infer from the text that _______.
A. the author doesn't like tourism developing so fast
B. local people will benefit from tourist attraction
C. other parts of a country's economy won't benefit from tourism much
D. we can't build too many support facilities
55. The author thinks it is good for local people to know that tourism will _______.
A. waste a lot of money B. weaken their economy
C. help establish their customs D. help improve their life
（D）
Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that men and animals possess, if they are properly used. If fire did not hurt when it burnt, children would play with it until their hands were burnt away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear didn’t, a child would burn himself or herself again and again, because fear would not warn himself or herself to keep away from the fire-that had burnt himself or herself before. A really fearless soldier—and some do exist is not a good soldier because he is soon killed; an
