Banpo Primary School in Guizhou,
China is on a mountain. The path（小
路 ） to school was bullt about forty
years ago and it is very narrow and
dangerous. The children have to walk in
a line. When they meet somebody, they
have to stand against the mountain while
the person passes. For their parents, it is
very worrying. Fortunately, the head
teacher of the school walks with the
children every morning.
A group of children from Edu School
in Sumatra, Indonesia（印尼）, have to
cross a wide river every morning on their
way to school. The bridge across the
river is broken, so about twenty children
have to walk across a rope. The rope is
ten metres above the water. After that,
they have to walk ten kilometres through
the forest! And of course, at the end of
the school day, they have to do the same
journey again on their way home.Children in Minh Hoa, Vietnam（越
南） have to cross a river on their way
to and from school every day. There are
no bridges or boats, so the children swim.
The children put the books and clothes in
large plastic bags so they do not get wet.
The bags also help them to stay safe in
the water （ the water is 20 metres
deep）. When they reach the other side,
they take their dry clothes out of the bag
and put them on.
Near Bogota, the capital of
Colombia（哥伦比亚）, some children
have to cross a large valley to get to
school. At the bottom of the valley is the
Rio Negro, a huge river. There is only
one way to cross the valley on a zip wire.
That’s a metal rope, 800 metres long and
400 metres above the river. The journey
is very fast. In fact, it only takes about
one minute! Small children cannot travel
across the valley by themselves, so their
brother or sister puts them in a bag!
39. Some children ________ have to walk along a dangerous path to school.
A. in Minh Hoa, Vietnam B. in Guizhou, China
C. in Sumatra, Indonesia D. near Bogota, Colombia
40. What makes the parents of Banpo Primary School less worried?

The New Year
One pleasant New Year morning, Edward woke up and washed and dressed
himself. He was in a hurry as he wanted to be the first to wish people a happy New
Year.
He ran into the street repeating them to everyone he met.
When he came back, his father gave him two bright, new silver dollars. He smiled
as he took them. He had wanted for a long time to buy some pretty books that he had
seen at the bookstore.
As he ran down the street, he saw a poor family. The father, mother and three
children were shivering（颤抖） with cold.
“I wish you a happy New Year,” said Edward, as he happily passed by. The man
shook his head and smiled sadly.
He said, “These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time.”Edward quickly understood that these poor people were in trouble. He took out
his two dollars, and gave one to the man, and the other to his wife.
How their eyes shone with happiness! They said, “We thank you a thousand
times, and will remember you in our prayers（祈祷）.”
When Edward came home, his father asked what books he had bought.
Edward hung his head a moment, but quickly looked up.
“I have bought no books,” he said. “I gave my money to some poor people, who
seemed to be very hungry and in trouble. I think I can wait for my books till next New
Year.”
His father was pleased. He said, “My dear boy, here is a whole bundle of books. I
give them to you, more as a reward（回报） for your goodness of heart than as a
New Year gift. Always be ready to help the poor, and those in trouble. That way every

Do you know how to get cheap airline and train tickets? hotel accommodations
（膳宿）?
On a recent flight, Laura was chatting happily with the woman in the next seat—
until the conversation turned to fares. The woman, who bought her ticket two months
in advance, paid $109. Laura paid $457. She decided that next time she would find
out how to travel for less.
Here are some ways to travel for less:
Cheap airplane tickets.
To fly for less money, you can buy non-refundable plane tickets two or three
months before your trip. The cheapest way to fly is as a courier（信使）. In return
for delivering a package for a courier company, you get a plane ticket that costs as
little as one-quarter of the regular price—or even less if the company needs someone
at the last minute. Recently, a courier flew round trip from Los Angeles to Tokyo for
$100; a regular ticket cost around $1,800.
Train passes.
If you’re going to do a lot of traveling by train, a train pass will save you money.Buying a single pass gives you unlimited travel for a period of time. Train passes can
be especially useful in India, which has the world’s largest rail system; in Japan,
where trains are fast and convenient; and in Europe, where trains go to over 30,000
cities.
Hostels（招待所）.
Hostels used to provide cheap accommodations in dormitories for people under
the age of 25. Nowadays, hostels don’t have any age requirements. They’re not only
cheap（$8—$17 a night）but a great way to meet people. Hostels are often in
interesting places—a castle in Germany, a lighthouse in California, a one-room
schoolhouse in the wilderness of Australia. And sometimes hostels have luxuries like
swimming pools.
39. Laura paid much more for the plane ticket because ________.
A. she bought her ticket two months ago B. the woman was sitting in the
next seat
C. she didn’t know how to travel for less D. the woman was chatting with
her happily
40. ________ ways are introduced to travel for less in the material above.
A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five
41. The underlined word fares in the first paragraph probably means “________”.
A. the money you pay to travel by plane B. the schedule you make for a
holiday
C. the pictures you draw when on a plane D. the plan you make for buying
cheap tickets
42. You can get the cheapest plane ticket if you ________.
A. buy it two months ago B. take around trip
C. buy it at the last minute D. work as a courier
43. Which of the following is NOT true according to the material?
A. India has the world’s largest rail system.
B. It’s convenient to travel by train in Europe.
C. People over 25 can’t stay in a hostel nowadays.D. Hostels around the world are often in interesting places.
44. Which of the following might be the best title for the material above?
A. Getting more for less when you travel. B. Meeting interesting people in
cheap hostels.
C. A train pass will save you money in Japan. D. Plane ticket from New York to
