Tibet is in the southwest of China. It is the home to many natural wonders, such as valleys, mountains, lakes and even deserts. Tibet is very large, so it is perfect for traveling, especially the bike tour(旅游).
You can start the wonderful bike tour in Tibet’s capital, Lhasa. It is 3600 metres above the sea level. It’s very high, isn’t it?

The size and shape of your ears show your character more than any other parts of the face. Other parts of the face change shape as we get older, but ears do not change their shape. They only change in size.
Reading people’s character from their ears is an old science. In very old times people thought that a person with big ears had a good and generous character. They thought that a person with pale (nearly white), small ears was dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ear showed whether a person was musical or not. Today, too, many people believe that the size and the shape of the ear help you know if a person is musical.
Ears are all different, and each characteristic has a meaning. Next time when you look at a person, see if his ears are large or small. Look at the lobes( the lowest part of the ear). Are they attached(连着) to the face? Ears that are always red mean a person may easily get angry, or he/she just has high blood pressure(高血压). Ears that are always cold and pale mean a person has a nervous character. And a big inside hole of the ear means a person is musical.
29.In the old times people might ask for help from a person with____________.
A. red ears B. big ears C. small ears D. pale ears
30. The passage is mainly about ___________.
A. the size of our ears B. musical ears
C. ears which related to characters D. our faces and ears
31. From the passage, we know ___________ change shape as we get older.
A. ears B. hair C. eyes D. teeth
32. If you are often late for school, you may find the ears of your teacher _________.
A. get bigger B. get smaller C. get colder D. get redder
C
Mr. Ma, a famous mental doctor (心理医生) from Beijing once said at an important meeting, “Now many young students can have problems with their minds. Some students become worried because they have to study very hard. Others have trouble getting on well with people around them like their parents and classmates. Parents and teachers should care more about this problem.”
Then Mr. Ma gave some examples. A middle school student from Xi’an was doing badly in his lessons. He thought his teachers and friends often laughed at him, and he became so nervous and worried that one night he left his home without telling his parents. Another student, a 14-year-old schoolgirl from Shanghai, was very afraid of exams. While she was reading the exam paper, she couldn’t think of anything to write.
A recent report from a newspaper says about 18% of the young students in Shanghai have mental problems. They often feel worried and very unhappy. Unluckily many of them won’t go and ask for help. Some think they will look stupid if they go to see a doctor. Others won’t talk about their secrets.
At the end of the meeting, Mr. Ma gave some good ideas to young people:
◆Talk to your parents or teacher often.
◆Join in group activities.
◆Try to get on well with the people around you.
◆Go to see a doctor if you often feel unhappy.
33. The students who often become worried or have trouble getting on with others may have _______.
A. no parents B. no secrets C. poor families D. mental problems
34. Some of those with mental problems won’t ask for help because _______.
A. they don’t want to tell their secrets to others
B. their parents are too busy to look after them
C. doctors can’t help them with the problems
D. they can do with the problems themselves
35. According to the last part, which of the followings is a good idea?
A. It’s important for children to live with their parents.
B. It’s helpful for people to see doctors every day.
C. It’s useful for students to keep quiet in class.
