2.Travelling with your belongs on your back,or backpacking is self-planned budget (預(yù)算) touring using low-cost transport,and often going on foot.Backpackers don't carry suitcases or stay in pricey hotels.Instead,they walk around with backpacks filled with everything they need,ready to sleep under the stars if necessary.With their limited budget,they need to choose lodgings (住宿) and transport based on an old saying-the lower the price,the better.
The lure (吸引力) of adventure has made backpacking a popular travel style among young people and students who are seldom owners of fat wallets.They prefer exploring a place by themselves,with only a printed map,or a smart phone on hand.
"A package tour may suit a family's needs,but it's not my cup of tea,"says Betty Lam,who went backpacking in New Zealand with three friends last summer."I want to explore a place according to my choice,my timetable and myself."
Were there any particularly memorable events on the trip?
"Once,the train to Auckland was put off and two of our group were hungry,so they left their backpacks with us and went to a nearby shop to buy something to eat.I still remember the scene with Tammy and me running flat out to catch the train,carrying four huge backpacks.The other two were racing behind us as they'd panicked when they saw the train getting ready to pull away from the station.I held the train door open while Tammy was shouting."Quick-jump in!"Susie came in head first with June landing on the top of her like a sack of potatoes!It was so funny!"
So was the trip worth all the effort?
"Definitely.True,we had a few quarrels (爭吵); we have different interests,and it wasn't easy to please everybody.But we managed to reach a compromise (妥協(xié)) every time.Travelling with friends helps you learn about getting on with people and working together.All of us had gained a lot by the end of the holiday-the four of us had become really good buddies."
What should backpackers always carry with them?
Betty laughs-"not too much!Comfortable walking shoes are important.A raincoat is necessary and bring some practical clothes."
So,is that everything to bear in mind?
"Well,yes and no,because you can't prepare enough.You need much information about where you're going to stay,transport,food,etc.Most importantly,you must have insurance (保險)-just in case your money,passport or backpack get stolen,or you get sick.Take time planning and you'll have fun safely."
53.What do backpackers usually do?D
A.Stay in pricey hotels.
B.Face a lot of dangers.
C.Spend much money.
D.Choose cheap transport.
54.Which of the following statements about Betty is true?B
A.Betty preferred travelling with her family on holidays.
B.The friendship improved as a result of their adventures.
C.Only half of Betty's group caught the train to Auckland.
D.Betty toured New Zealand with backpackers she met there.
55.What's the main purpose of the passage?C
A.To give us some advice on backpacking.
B.To tell us about Betty's travelling story.
C.To introduce a hot travel style,backpacking.
D.To encourage us to travel with less money.

Maybe your mum or dad has told you,"Turn that down before you go deaf(56)!"Well,they are quite right.Loud noise may cause(57)hearing problems for a short time or even forever.
American doctors have studied(58)a group of 4,490people who used earphones more than 15hours every week.The doctors found that 3,730of them were getting hearing problems.If you use earphones too long,your ears(59)may feel painful(疼痛的).You could also lose(60)your hearing for the rest of your life.So don't wear your earphones too long.Use them less than one hour a day.
Want good hearing?Don't forget to do the following:
•Try to stay(61)away from places with too much noise,like a disco.If you have to go,wear earplugs(耳塞).
•When swimming,remember to put earplugs into your ears to prevent(62)water from getting in.
•Never put anything sharp(63)into your ears.If you think you have too much earwax(耳垢),ask your mum or dad to help you clean it out.

7.Could smells affect your lifespan?Female fruit flies(果蠅) without the ability to smell food live longer than other fruit flies.The sense of smell may be connected to the cellular ageing (細(xì)胞老化) process in many other living things-even people.Such connection has recently been found in both worms and flies.For example,scientists found that removing fruit flies'ability to smell made them live nearly 20percent longer than flies with a sense of smell.
They confirmed that food smells were the ones most likely to affect ageing,as nutrition(營養(yǎng)) and lifespan are known to be connected in many living things.To test the idea that food smells affect lifespan,they removed flies'ability to smell carbon dioxide,which is produced by some fly foods.They left the rest of the smelling system.
This action had no effect on male flies,but the females lived 30percent longer than normal.Removing the ability to smell CO2 may stop flies getting information about food availability.This could mean that food is not enough,causing processes that encourage flies to survive.Scientists found that the female flies stored extra fat and that both males and females immune(免疫) to CO2 were stronger against the stress than normal flies.It is suggested that females may simply be easily influenced by the smells of CO2
Scientists point out that people don't know whether ageing and smell are connected in animals and humans.But they clearly experience physical changes after smelling food.

34.From the passage,we learn that what scientists found is toC.
A.show there is the best way to make lifespan longer
B.tell us we should remove our smell ability to live long
C.show the sense of smell can affect the cellular ageing process
D.explain fruit flies without ability to smell can live longer
35.Scientists do some researches to proveD.
A.the immune system of flies to CO2
B.the connections between nutrition and lifespan
C.the importance of food smells to our humans
D.the connections between food smells and lifespan
36.According to scientists'opinion,we can see thatB.
A.male flies in general can live longer than female ones
B.flies without ability to smell is encouraged to store extra energy
C.both male and female flies can live longer without the ability to smell
D.flies without ability to smell can also get information about food availability
37.Which of the following best describes the passage as a whole?B
A.CO2has few effects on female flies.
B.The sense of smell might have an effect on living things.
C.The sense of smell is necessary to humans'health.
D.Female fruit flies can always live longer than male flies.
