As the boat came closer to land, the waves got bigger and more violent. At last, a large wave climbed into the air and fell on the small boat with great force.
The boat turned over as the men jumped into the sea. The water was like ice. The reporter was tired. But he swam toward the beach. He looked for his friends.
He saw Billie, the sailor, in front of him, swimming strongly and quickly. The cook was near him. Behind, the captain held on to the overturned boat with his one good hand. Soon, the reporter could swim no longer. A current was carrying him back out to sea. He thought, “Am I going to drown?”
But the current suddenly changed and he was able to swim toward the shore. Then he saw a man running along the shore. He was quickly taking off his shoes and clothes.
As the reporter got close to the boat, a large wave hit him and threw him into the air over the boat and far from it. When he tried to get up, he found that the water was not over his head, only half way up his body. But he was so tired that he could not stand up. Each wave threw him down, and the current kept pulling him back to sea.Then he saw the man again, jumping into the water. The man pulled the cook to the shore. Then he ran back into the water for the captain. But the captain waved him away and sent him to the reporter. The man seized the reporter's hand and pulled him to the beach. Then the man pointed to the water and cried, “What’s that?” In the shallow water, face down, lay Billie, the sailor.
The reporter did not know all that happened after that. It seems that immediately the beach was filled with men with blankets, clothes and whiskey. Women brought hot coffee.
But a still and dripping shape was carried slowly up the beach. And the land’s welcome for the sailor’s body could only be its final resting place.
21. We can learn that the people on the boat________.
A. all survived the big waves in the sea
B. lost their way and drowned in the sea
C. were competing against one another
D. were struggling to reach the shore
22. Who was the first to get to the beach?
A. The cook. B. The sailor. C. The reporter. D. The captain.
23. What happened to the sailor Billie in the end?
A. He was too tired to get up in the water.
B. He lost his life after trying hard.
C. He played a dangerous joke on himself.
D. He received a warm welcome.

The New Year in South Africa brings thousands of residents to the streets for a colorful minstrel (艺人) parade. Brightly-costumed marching choral groups celebrate a unique aspect of South Africa’s multiracial history.
Cape Town’s musical New Year’s tradition dates back more than a century, to the days when Dutch colonists brought slaves here from Southeast Asia. The slaves served as dockworkers, farm laborers and household servants. And, they were given one day off per year.
“This music comes from the slave culture. And the tradition started when the slaves were given off on the second of New Year. So on the second of January every year that was the free day for slaves, they would go around in the streets and march and play instruments,” said Bruinders, professor at the University of Cape Town.
The slaves copied European and American minstrels who visited the Cape. Eventually, a typical South African sound developed. Bruinders explains that the beat and harmonies of the music still reflect where it came from. “It’s a poor community. They don’t have new shiny instruments. It’s not perfect, they were not taught. They were all handed down from father to son,” she said.
Today the minstrels are a holiday tradition among Cape Town’s mixed-race or “colored” residents, many of whose ancestors are slaves. A downtown parade involves thousands of participants. Dozens of minstrel groups practice throughout the year, one of which is called The Pennsylvanians, named after American singers from the state of Pennsylvania who influenced the Cape minstrel tradition.
“Well, it may look like neighborhood choral groups, but you will be amazed to see the academically qualified people—music instructors, marching instructors, people from the navy— that are behind the scenes,” said Ahmed Ismail, The Pennsylvanians’ musical director.
The minstrels dress up in face paint and colorful satin (绸缎)costumes with fancy hats. One elder, Zane Ibrahim, says it is a moment for members of Cape Town’s colored community to honor their roots. “There is a time where you have to celebrate the very fact of being alive. And when you see these people, when they’re wearing satin, you see a totally different human being. You see a spirit that belongs to us,” he said.
The minstrel carnival remains an annual social high point especially for the working class, who continue to celebrate their tradition by singing-in the New Year.
24. The tradition of Cape Town’s New Year minstrel parade develops from ______.
A. western minstrels B. Dutch colonists
C. the slaves from southeast Asia D. American singers
25. The Pennsylvanians is a minstrel group ______.

A. they want to remember the special South Africa’s history
B. They want to celebrate the slaves’ freedom from their masters
C. They can wear all kinds of colorful but funny clothes and hats
D. They expect to do more for the poor people’s living conditions
27. The best title for this passage is _______.
A. The New Year in South Africa B. South Africa’s Multiracial History
C. A Typical South African Sound D. Cape Town’s New Year Parade
C
Australia has promised to introduce the most comprehensive (全面的) carbon trading program outside Europe in 2010. The government in Canberra plans to cut greenhouse gas emissions (排放) by at least five percent by 2020, but it could make bigger reductions if other countries agree to tougher targets.
The Australian government warns that without tough environmental measures the country could lose key industries and jobs. Climate Change Minister Penny Wong says the economy is under threat and decisive action is needed.
Central to the government’s climate change plan is a carbon emissions trading program that will be introduced within two years. It would involve one thousand of the nation’s biggest companies and would cover about three-quarters of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions.Many scientists believe that greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, contribute to global warming. Many of them are released by burning fuels such as coal and oil.
Companies will be required to buy permits for each ton of carbon they emit, although big polluting exporters will receive up to 90 percent of their carbon licenses free.
Many business leaders want the government to delay the plan because of the current global financial crisis, which is slowing the Australian economy. Peter Anderson from the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry says it is irresponsible to bring in a carbon trading plan now.
Environmentalists, on the other hand, say Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has not properly addressed the threat of climate change. Activists had sought a minimum emissions cut of 25 percent.
Instead, the Rudd government aims to cuts carbon emissions by at least five percent of 2000 levels by 2020. That amount could rise to 15 percent, if future global agreements set such a target.
Ray Nias of the environmental group WWF says Australia will pay the price for low targets. “This is a deeply, deeply disappointing target,” Nias said. “It commits Australia to long-term climate change. It will make Australia’s ability to negotiate (协商) global agreements very, very difficult. It is much lower than even we had imagined.”
Australia has one of the highest per-person greenhouse emissions rates in the world because of its reliance on coal for electricity.
Some scientists warn that the vast, dry Australian continent, which has been suffering a series of droughts in recent years, could be one of the region’s hardest hit by global warming.
28. Which group supports to cut carbon emissions by at least 25%?
A. Environmentalists B. The government
C. Business leaders D. Scientists
29. Who most probably agrees to a higher goal of carbon emissions?
A. Penny Wong B. Peter Anderson C. Kevin Rudd D. Ray Nias
30. Many business leaders are against the Australian program because________.
A. they believe the program will only benefit the big companies
B. they believe the program will cause the global warming
C. they don’t want to pay extra money for carbon emissions
D. they don’t think carbon emission will surely cause the global warming
31. The underlined sentence means_________.
A. The Australian government will be blamed for the low target
B. Australia will suffer a lot from climate change caused by carbon emissions
C. The Australian government will have to spend lots of money on carbon emissions
D. Many Australian companies will close down because of the low target
D
There was good news last week for people who struggle to get eight hours of sleep a night: They may not need so much shut-eye after all.
Researchers from UCLA and elsewhere looked at sleep habits of remote hunter-gatherers in Tanzania, Namibia and Bolivia — groups with pre-industrial lifestyles whose sleep patterns are believed to reflect those of ancient humans. The researchers found that, on average, members of each group sleep a bit less than six and a half hours a night.
The study, published in the academic journal Current Biology, indicates that “natural” sleep is less than eight hours a night and that modern society’s numerous electronic distractions (分心) aren’t necessarily to blame for people getting just six or seven hours of sleep.
“The story that often gets out is that if you sleep for less than seven hours, you’re going to die early,” he told me. “That’s not true.”Yet Americans are addicted to getting more sleep — and on turning to medical shortcuts to help them.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, as many as 70 million U.S. adults suffer from sleep disorders or sleeplessness. Only a third of Americans get the government’s recommended seven to nine hours of sleep a night.
About 9 million American adults use sleeping pills to help get a good night’s rest, the CDC found. Siegel said the number of people relying on medicines “has gone up rather rapidly since then.”
Industry consulting firm GlobalData estimates that worldwide sales for sleeplessness medicines will run about $1.4 billion next year and reach $1.8 billion by 2023, recovering from lower sales in recent years because of cheaper generics(仿制药) hitting the market.
Dr. Roy Artal, a sleep specialist in West Los Angeles, said it’s understandable that busy people in today’s go-go world would turn to medicines to speed up the sleep process. But all they’re doing is building a reliance on powerful drugs for relatively little improvement.
“There’s no magic pill that makes us sleep when we want and wake up when we want,” Artal said. “The effects of sleeping pills tend to bemodest.”
He and other experts say the answer to sleeplessness isn’t to be found in a pill bottle. It’s in what’s called “sleep hygiene (保健).”
