Thousands of brave souls have ventured into the Rocky Mountains for the past decade, searching for a treasure chest filled with gold, rubies, emeralds and diamonds. But that adventure has finally come to an end. The treasure has been found.
Forrest Fenn, the 89-year-old art and antiquities collector who created the treasure hunt, made the announcement on his website. “It was under a starry sky, in the forested vegetation of the Rocky Mountains and had not moved from the site where I hid it more than 10 years ago,” Fenn wrote in his announcement.
The treasure was found a few days ago by a man who did not want to be named, Fenn told The Santa Fe New Mexican. The treasure, estimated to be worth over $1 million, was away for Fenn to inspire people to explore nature and give hope to people affected by the Great Recession, he said. Clues leading to the treasure’s location were included in a 24-line poem published in Fenn’s 2010 autobiography The Thrill of the Chase.
Fenn roughly calculated that as many as 350,000 people from all over the world went hunting for the treasure, traversing mountains and streams, and enjoying the magnificent scenery along the way. Some even quit their jobs to fully dedicate their lives to the hunt.
“I congratulate the thousands of people who participated in the search and hope they will continue to be drawn by the promise of other discoveries, ”Fenn said on his website.
24. How can people find the treasure chest?

Humans are not the only animals that get drunk. Birds that eat a lot of fermented berries are known to fallout of trees and crash into windows. Elk that overdo it with rotting apples get stuck in trees. Moose wasted on overripe crabapples get twisted into swing sets, hammocks and even Christmas lights.
Elephants, though, are the animal kingdom’s most well-known boozers. One scientific paper describes elephant trainers rewarding the animals with beer and other alcoholic beverages, with one elephant in the 18th century said to have drunk 30 bottles of port wine a day. In 1974, a herd of 150 elephants in India, became extremely excited after breaking into a brewery, then went on a wild behavior that destroyed buildings and killed five people.
In fact, elephants are likely exceptional lightweights because they lack a key enzyme that quickly breaks down ethanol (乙醇)
Humans, chimpanzees, bonobos and gorillas have an unusually high tolerance for alcohol because of a shared genetic mutation (突变) that allows them to breakdown ethanol 40 times faster than other primates. The mutation occurred around 10 million years ago. It happened at the same time with an ancestral shift from living in trees to living on lands and, most likely, a diet richer in fallen, fermenting fruit on the forest floor.
But most other mammals did not possess the mutation, and in some species, including elephants, dogs and cows, the gene of breaking down alcohol had lost all function “It was far more likely for some animals that eat the leafy part of plants or eat meat to lose the gene,” said Amanda Melin, a molecular ecologist at the University of Calgary.
Forest elephants today regularly seek and eat fruit, but their ancestors became grass eaters around 8 million years ago Evidence indicates they then switched to a mixed diet around 1 million years ago.
28. What happened when a moose got drunk?
A. It got trapped in a swing set. B. It fell out of windows.
C. It got a shock from Christmas lights. D. It knocked into trees.
29. What do we know about elephants from the text?
A. Their ancestors switched to eat grass around 10 million years ago.
B. Their representatives of India once caused a big disaster while drunk
C. They are lightweights as they have no organ to breakdown alcohol.
D. They prefer to be treated with plenty of port wine a day.
30. Why do chimpanzees tolerate alcohol better than other primates?
A. Because of the eating habits. B. Because of the speed of digestion.
C. Because of the exchange of energy. D. Because of the mutation of gene.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Species share the same genetic mutation.
B. Food consumption in nature is quite huge.
C. Elephants really can’t hold their liquor.
D. Plants and meat affect the diets of mammals.
D
The year 2020 is stormy, but rainbows are everywhere. Across the COVID-19 stricken world, bright and happy rainbows have become window colors and choices on store shelves.
The rainbows started appearing all over Italy within a few days of schools closing for the first lockdown, back in March. Crayon drawings were taped to the inside of windows; poster-painted banners hung from balconies.
When the pandemic came to Britain, the rainbows came too, with the Italian message of positivity morphing into thanks to the NHS. Then, during the months of lockdown, the rainbows moved inside our homes, with a craze for arranging books by colour in pursuit of an aesthetically (审美地) pleasant Zoom background.
In April this year, the largest cabin hospital in the Philippines was completed, divided into six wards of different colors. The colors of the rainbow were not only pleasing to the eye, but also conveying a positive and optimistic spirit to patients.
The rainbow is to 2020 what “keep calm and carry on” was to 1939. And just as “keep calm and carry on” began as a public information campaign but became a tea towel industry, what began as a gesture of hope is now a big business. John Lewis reports that an品8rainbowbaubleisa nearly festive bestseller. Tracksuit enthusiasts are sitting out the second lockdown in Olivia Rubin’s £150 rainbow stripe tracksuits.
Optimism is the hottest commodity of 2020. But some people are irritated by the way consumer culture com modifies the human experience, packaging our hopes and dreams as if they were just another product in the warehouse (仓库). But the fashion editor-turned-designer JJ Martin says, “It’s great to have the colourful dress, but the magic of a rainbow isn’t really about the pot of gold. What actually counts is the flame you turn on inside yourself. ”
32. Where might people see the rainbow?
A. In the Italian message of thanks to the NHS.
B. On the banners of the schools under lockdown.
C. In the study with the books sorted by color.
D. On the outside of Britain’s largest cabin hospital.
33. What does the underlined word “irritated” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. Fascinated. B. Angered. C. Challenged. D. Embarrassed.
34. What do the campaigns in1939 and in 2020 have in common?
A. They helped people out of the lockdown.
B. They conveyed thanks to the medical staff.
C. They came to the same end
D. They displayed a feature of the towel industry.
35. What can we infer from what JJ Martin said?
A. The relaxation of mind is equal to wealth
B. The tracksuits of Olivia Rubin are to be mass-produced.
C. The commercialization of feelings is somewhat reasonable.
D. The significance of the rainbow is to lift people up.

An old friend of mine was in town and organized a get-together. A mutual friend asked me if I was going. I answered no because I wasn’t interested in it.
36 However, I just refused. Do you feel that you sometimes have to lie to spare people’s feelings? I sure do. But I’m trying to do it less. Here’s why:
● 37
Do you feel it like a mini lack of good faith every time you say a white lie? It doesn’t feel good because, at heart, you want to be honest.
● You have to remember lies.
Have you ever been caught in a lie? I have. It feels untrustworthy. I don’t know about you, but my memory is not good enough to even remember all the true things I say. 38
● People respect the truth.
I had meant to go to a friend’s house for dinner once, but she called in the morning of the day to cancel. She said, “I’m sorry Susie but... I’m just so tired and I need today to rest.” I didn’t get angry at that moment. 39 And we had a ni
