The Lost Airplane
“We’re leaving!” Dad called.
Cody was about to race downstairs when he noticed the tiny airplane on his cousin’s desk. “It would be fun to
take it to the beach,” he thought. “I don’t think Dave will mind.” Cody put the airplane into the pocket of his
swimsuit.
On the beach, Cody made a runway (机场的跑道) in the sand. Then he took out the airplane and imagined it
taking off.
“Cody, are you coming with us?” Dad called. Dad and Uncle Jeff couldn’t wait to go surfing.
Cody took his bodyboard and ran after them. They rode wave after wave. Soon Cody’s teeth were chattering
from the cold. He was glad when they decided to head back to their place on the sand.
Resting on the beach, Cody enjoyed the warm sunshine. But with a sudden fear, he sat up. “Where was the
airplane?” He searched the sand around him, but he found only broken seashells. He kept looking for the airplane
while eating lunch. But as it became clear that the airplane was lost, he lost his appetite (胃口) as well.
Cody was quiet on the way back home, wondering how to tell Dave about it. Slowly he climbed upstairs. On
the very last step, he felt something sharp in his pocket. “Could it be?” His fingers closed around the airplane in
disbelief. He must have put it into his pocket in his rush to go surfing! Awesome—now he wouldn’t have to tell
Dave about it!
的
But Cody didn’t feel relieved (如释重负 ). He knew he had to say sorry to Dave.
“I’m so sorry,” Cody said after telling Dave what had happened.
“I would have let you borrow it,” said Dave. “I’m proud of you for telling me, though. Next time, just ask.”
Cody felt better, as if he’d caught another wave—a wave of relief.
20. Who did the airplane belong to?
.
A Cody. B. Dave. C. Cody’s dad. D. Uncle Jeff.

Traveling helps us learn about different people and different places. People travel for different reasons. But
one of the reasons is that a lot of tourists are interested in traditional culture (文化).
Tourism (旅游业) can be very good for traditional cultures. This is because when people travel to another
country, they often want to learn more about that country's traditions such as music, food and history. So the local
people in that country will wear traditional clothing and sell traditional food. They will also have shows for tourists.
These shows can be dances, concerts, plays or something else.
Tourism also helps people respect (尊重) each other. If you understand another culture well, you will probably
respect that culture much more. You will probably want to protect that culture as well.
However, tourism isn't always good for traditional culture. A lot of people say that tourism causes "fake
traditional culture". This means that the local people wear traditional clothing, and do traditional dances only for
tourists so that they can make money. But that isn't their real lifestyle. Their real lifestyles are like the tourists'
lifestyles.
Another problem is that tourists can interfere (妨碍) with the local people's lives. For example, sometimes
tourists come to watch local people praying(祷告) in temples (庙宇). While the local people pray, tourists take
photos and make noises. This often makes the local people angry. Sometimes tourists also do harm to local places
of interest. If five hundred people entered an old temple every day, they might do harm to that temple.
No matter what, more and more tourists want to learn about traditional cultures. Most local people want more
tourism because tourists bring money and help local business. Tourists have to respect local culture and local
places. Local governments have to make laws (法律) to protect places and lifestyles. If everyone is responsible,
then tourism will be great for traditional cultures.
24. The word "fake" in Paragraph 4 probably means "________".
A. not rich B. not popular C. not real D. not interesting
25. According to the passage, what should tourists do in local places?
A. Keep quiet in some special situations. B. Pray with the local people in old temples.
第4页/共10页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司C. Make laws to protect places and lifestyles. D. Wear traditional clothing and sell traditional food.
26. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Tourists don't care about traditional culture.
B. Tourists learn more about country's traditions.
C. Tourism can protect local places and lifestyles.
D. Tourism can be good and bad for traditional culture.
The way we spend our time can be divided into three "bottles". These are the Necessary Tasks Bottle, the
Voluntary Tasks Bottle and the Happiness Bottle.
Every day, we spend time filling the Necessary Tasks Bottle with useful things, like making money, doing
housework, buying food and paying bills. We then fill another bottle with Voluntary Tasks. These are things that we
do for others, we may not enjoy, but we do them anyway This bottle gets filled with tasks like taking children to
activities, cooking family meals, and washing clothes for family members, Those bottles are very important if we
don't fill them each day.
However, we often forget to fill the third bottle-the Happiness Bottle. This is the bottle that we fill with
activities that make us happy. Is your Happiness Bottle sometimes empty at the end of the day? Between doing all
the Necessary and Voluntary Tasks, time flies by, and before we know it. it is time for bed. We all have days like
that.
This is why each day we have to make an effort(努力) to fill our Happiness Bottle. Most days, I fill mine by
going to the dancing class. And I always leave classes more happily than when I enter. This week, I had the
pleasure of taking part in a guitar practice in my neighborhood. We show our musical talent and practice music for
charity(慈善) It was a time of fun, friendship and music-making. At the end of the evening, my Happiness Bottle
was filled to top.
The challenge(挑战)for each of us is to not let the day go by without filling our Happiness Bottle. That takes
some planning. Many of us probably need to pencil happiness activities into our schedule(日程表) Or, we will fill
our schedule with those Necessary and Voluntary Tasks.
This week. Think about how your time is being spent. Are you doing enough activities that bring joy to your
life? Or are the Necessary and Voluntary Tasks using up all your time? At the end of the day. Hopefully we've done
all we can to make sure that our Happiness Bottle is filled.
27. Which activity belongs to(属于) a Necessary Task according to the passage?
A. Having fun with your good friend
B. Preparing a big dinner for your family.
C. Going to work although it is raining heavily.

28. People can fill the Happiness Bottle by________.
A. planning our schedule without any Voluntary Tasks
B. spending time on activities that make us happy
C. using up all the time to find happiness.
D. doing more things for other people
29. What can we learn from the passage?
A. People often fill the Happiness Bottle at bedtime.
B. People are happy to fill the Voluntary Tasks Bottle each day
C. It is necessary for people to plan happiness activities on the schedule.
D. It is OK if we don't fill the Necessary Tasks or Voluntary Tasks Bottle.
