In some parts of Holland the land lies so low that the people have to
build great walls of sand and earth, to keep out the sea. These wall are
called dykes (堤坝).
Sometimes the water from the sea break down these walls, and then the
sea rushes in through the beach, and spreads over the land.
Houses and trees, cows and sheep, have been thus washed away, and
many people drowned(溺水).
Once, when a little boy was going home in the evening, he saw a hole in
one of the dykes, through which the water was flowing (流出).
His father had often told him that when this happened, unless the water
was stopped it would soon make the hole so big that the sea would flow
over the land.
At first he thought he would run home and tell his father. But then he
said to himself, “It may be dark before father can come, and we shall not
be able to find the hole again. Or it may get so large that it will be too late
to stop it. I must stay now, and do the best I can alone.”
The brave little boy sat down, and put his hand in the hole, to keep back
the water. There he stayed, hour after hour, in the cold and the dark, all
through the night!
In the morning, a man came past and saw him. He could not think what
the boy was doing there. So he called out to him.“What are you doing there, my boy?”
“There is a hole in the dyke,” said the boy, “and I am keeping back
the water.
Poor little boy! He was so cold and tired that he could hardly speak.

thus the land was saved,—thanks to the brave little Hollander.

Curiosity ( 好 奇 心 ) is part of human nature. Children are famous for
wanting answers to thousands of questions. Books and TV shows often
depend on curiosity. People keep reading or watching because they want to
find out what happens. But curiosity also provides many advantages.
Leaning the easiest if you have a desire (愿望) for knowledge. Curiosity
can create that desire when you have a question you want an answer to.
Many of history’s greatest discoveries were made by curious people.
Thanks to their curiosity, people now know far more about the world and
have useful technology to help them.
Even if you don’t plan to be an inventor or researcher, curiosity can
still help you in the classroom. If you develop the joy of learning, classes will
become more fun. And you’ll be better because you will fully take part in
the process of learning. Even if you’re no longer a student, curiosity will
make you get more information and then a better worker.
What do you do if you’re not already curious? Luckily, curiosity is a skill
that can be improved. If you act like you’re curious, you’ll quickly start to
actually feel curious. Often, the more you learn about a topic, the more
interesting it becomes.
As you learn about a topic, collect information from as many sources (来
源 ) as possible. Read different kinds of books, listen to talks and ask
questions. Don’ t always get your information from the same source.
Instead, learn to appreciate (欣赏) facts that different people know and the
different opinions that they express. Ask a lot of questions. Remember,
everyone knows something that you don’t. Find out what that is, and ask
about it. This lets you learn something and makes the other person happy
by letting them show off their knowledge.In the classroom or out of it, developing curiosity is sure to be valuable.
46. According to the passage, curiosity ______.
A. is the only part of human nature
B. depends on books and TV shows

A. just learn from different people
B. argue with others
C. collect information from different sources
D. only read different kinds of books

Thousands of years ago, people had to hunt (打猎) for food. They lived in
caves (洞穴) and needed fire to keep 56 . Some of them drew pictures on
the walls of their caves.
We don’t know why they drew the pictures. They had to go 57 into
the cave to do it, so they must have had a plan. They probably took a
light 58 them, which was made of animal fat. Maybe they drew the
pictures to 59 good luck when they hunted. Others think the spears (矛) in
the pictures mean that they were 60 other people to hunt.
For paint, they mixed animal fat with some different things like dirt or
berries. They used sticks to brush the paint onto the 61 of their caves.
Some of the drawings are colorful and others are black from the burned end
of a sick.
These people drew what they saw around them— 62 such as tigers,
deer, horses, and sometimes birds and fish. They also drew people, but not
very 63 .
The pictures are 64 good most of the time. The tigers look strong and
powerful. Many of the hoses and deer look graceful.
These drawings have been 65 in more than 130 caves— mostly in
England and France. Maybe there are more that we haven’t found yet. It’s
interesting to look at such old drawings.

One possible version：
To Be a Better Citizen
Luzhou is a national civilized city. As a citizen, we should take pride of our city. And I
think we have lots of things to do if we want to be a civilized citizen.
Firstly, it’ s our duty to protect the environment. We mustn’ t throw litter
everywhere. Instead we can put it in the dustbins. Secondly, we should keep ourselves
safe all the time. For example, following the traffic rules, not swimming in the river or
the pool by ourselves. Thirdly, try to develop a good living habit. Play sports for at leastone hour a day and don’t stay up too late. Fourthly, we should be friendly to others,
and be ready to help others.
If we follow these,we will be a better citizen.
