Last week，our school had organized an activity to climb the West Mountain．As soon as we arrived at the foot of a mountain，we set out for the summit in high spirits．During the climb，we had such much difficulty passing the rocky areas．But under the teacher's help，we eventually reached the top，where we greeted by the bright sunshine and fresh air．Seeing from the top，the city was extreme beautiful．This event turned out to be very success．Not only did we take a break from our heavy school work，and also we learned what to communicate with each other．puzzled．

8．I can well remember that I was once asked to deliver a speech titled A Real Test in My Life before the whole class at the age of 9!You can imagine how（61）terribly （terrible） shy I was the moment I thought of that---with so many eyes（62）fixed （fix） upon me．I had no（63）choice （choose） but to prepare for it，though．First of all，I was to draft the speech，which was just a piece of cake for me，a good writer．But the hardest part （64）lay （lie） in my oral presentation from my memory，for to read from the paper was not allowed．The real moment began（65）whenI stood on the platform with my legs trembling and my mind blank．But my （66）listeners （listen） were waiting patiently without any signs of rushing me．Gradually I found myself back，giving out my speech with difficulty．After what seemed to be a hundred years，I found my audience applauding----I made （67）it!From then on，my fear of talking before a big audience （68）disappeared （appear）．Actually with my confidence building up，I now turn out to be a great speaker．（69）Looking （look） back，I know the greatest difficulty on our way（70）to success is our fear．Overcome it，and we will be able to achieve our goals．

7．Culture Shock
Culture shock refers to the anxiety and feelings （of surprise，uncertainty，confusion，etc．） felt when people have to operate within a different and unknown cultural or social environment，such as a foreign country．
Generally speaking，we could say that there are four stages of culture shock．The first stage is called"the honeymoon"．In this stage，you are excited about living in a different place．（36）G
The next stage is"the hostility（敌意）stage"．In this stage，you begin to notice not everything is as good as you originally thought it was．（37）DMoreover，people don't treat you like a guest anymore．
Then you come to the third stage called"recovery"．In this stage，you start to feel more positive．（38）BThe whole situation starts to become more favorable and you begin to learn to adapt yourself to it．
The last stage of culture shock is called"adjustment"．In this stage，you have reached a point where you actually feel good．（39）EThe things that originally made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand．Now you have adjusted to the new culture and you feel comfortable．
Not all individuals visiting another country will experience all these four stages．
（40）CIt also occurs within cultures as individuals move from place to place or from one setting to another （e．g．，from high school to college）．

A．You feel that friends should help each other to deal with culture shock．
B．And you try to develop comprehension of everything you don't understand．
C．In addition，culture shock is not limited to the overseas visitor．
D．You become tired of many things about the new culture．
E．You have learned enough to understand the new culture．
F．You begin to understand you need to travel a lot．
G．And everything seems to be marvelous and everybody seems to be so nice to you．

6．The greatest contribution to civilization in the century may well be the air-conditioning-and American leads just as amazing is the speed with which this situation came to be．Air-conditioning began to spread in industries as a production aid during World WarⅡ．Today most Americans need to take air-conditioning for granted to homes，offices，factories，theatres，shops，studios，schools，hotels，and restaurants，and we can see it almost everywhere in today's America．
But not everybody is aware that high cost and easy comfort are merely two of the effects of the vast cooling of American．In fact，air conditioning has substantially altered the country's character and customs．
Many of the byproducts are so conspicuous（显而易见的） that they are scarcely noticed．To begin with，air-conditioning transformed the face of America by making possible those glassy，boxy，sealed-in skyscrapers．It has been indispensable，no less，to the functioning of sensitive advanced computers，whose high operating temperatures require that they be constantly cooled…
It has，at will，forced families into going back into families with closed doors and shut windows to improve the effects of the air-conditioning，reducing the interactions of neighborhood life．I think there is no need explaining the seriousness of this consequence（后果）．It is really surprising that the public's often noted withdrawal into self-pursuit and privacy has kept in pace with the historic spread of air-conditioning．Though science has little studied how habitual air-conditioning affects mind and body，some medical experts suggest that，like other technical avoidance of natural changes in climate，air-conditioning may damage the human capacity to adapt to stress．If so，air-conditioning is only like many other greatly useful technical developments that liberate（解放） man from nature by increasing his productivity and power in some way-while indirectly weakening him in others．

9．Along the river banks ofthe Amazon and the Orinocothere lives a bird that swims before it can fly，flies like afatchicken，eatsgreen leave，has the stomach of a cow and has claws on its wings when young．They build their homes about 4.6m above the river，an important feature for the safety of the young．It is called thehoatzin．
In appearance，thebirds of bothsexes  look very much alike with brown on the back and cream and red ontheunderside．The head is small，with a large set of feathers on the top，bright red eyes，and blue skin．Its nearest relatives are the common birds，cuckoos．Its most striking feature，though，is only found in the young．
Baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each wing and another at the end of each wing tip．Using these four claws，together with the beak（喙），they can climb about in the bushes，looking very much like primitive birds must have done．When the young hoatzins have learned to fly，they lose their claws．
During the drier months between December and March hoatzins fly about the forest in groups of 20 to 30 birds，but in April，when the rainy season begins，they collect together in smaller living units of two to seven birds for producing purposes．
