In the first forty days a boy had been 4 with him. But after forty days without a fish, the boys parents had told him that the old man was now salao, which is the worst form of unlucky, and ordered the boy to join another boat, which caught three good fish the first week. It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his boat empty. The sail looked like the flag of failure(失败)forever. The old man was thin with deep wrinkles(皱纹)in the back of his neck. His face was terribly brown because of the strong sunlight on the sea every day and his hands had the deep scars(伤疤) from dealing with heavy fish on the lines. But none of these scars were fresh. Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful. “Santiago,” the boy said to him as they climbed the bank from the sea.“I could go with you again. Weve made some money.” The old man had taught the boy to fish and the boy loved him. “No,” the old man said. “Youre with a lucky boat. Stay with them.” “But remember how you went eightyfour days without fish and then we caught big ones every day for three weeks. ” “I remember,” the old man said. “It was papa who made me leave. I am a boy and I must follow him.” “I know,” the old man said. “It is quite normal(正常的).” “He hasnt much faith(信心).” “No,” the old man said. “But we have. Havent we?” “Yes,” the boy said. “Can I offer you a beer?” “Why not?” the old man said “Between fishermen.” ( )28. The word“they” in Paragraph 2 refers to(指的是)_ of the old man.

But some kinds of exercise may be better than others. Running, for example, may help to protect against heart disease and other health problems. Running may also help you live longer. Recently, researchers studied more than 55,000 adults. About a quarter of the adults have a good habit of running. The study found these runners were much healthier than nonrunners. In fact, the runners lived, on average(平均), three years longer than the nonrunners. Running may be good exercise, but it can be difficult on the body. Here are commonly shared ideas among fitness experts(健身专家)to lower the risk of injury(受伤)for people who are new to running. Take it easy. Do not run too much, too soon or too fast. Most people get running injures when they push themselves too hard. The body needs time to get used to increases in distance or speed. Get good running shoes. There is no single best shoe for every runner. You should find the shoe that offers the best fit and support for your feet. More important, you should have a new pair of shoes every 500 to 800 kilometers. Take good notes. Take time after each run to write down notes about what you did and how you felt. Look for things that happen again and again. For example, you may find that your knees hurt when you run sometimes. But perhaps you feel great when you have a rest between running days. These notes will help you make the best plan for running. ( )31.

Increases in distance or speed depend on_. A. what the fitness experts say B. how often you change new shoes C. how your body feels D. when you make the best plan for running ( )33. The passage is written to _. A. help runners to exercise in a scientific way B. warn the nonrunners of the dangers in running C. provide information for the researchers to work better D. encourage as many people as possible to join in running D The message was short. I read it three times: Hey, Mom, can I come to see you ?” I wrote back:“Yes!” He said he hoped to make it in time for dinner. I made a quick run to the market, put sheets(床单) on the guest bed and set the TV to record the Warriorsgame, so if traffic was awful, he wouldnt have to miss the first half. Then I began cooking, cleaning, watching the clock and listening for his footsteps coming up the walk. Its called waiting. I am good at it. When he was a newborn, Id wait for him to go to sleep. Soon then Id stand by his bed waiting for him to wake up. I waited, as he learned to do things like walking, talking and feeding himself; Throwing a ball, riding a bike and reading a book. I waited for him to start preschool, primary school, middle school and college. I waited with dread for him to start driving. And I stayed up to wait for him every time he came home late. I wait for my son to grow up, but that doesnt mean the waiting game is over. It never really ends. 7 Mothers wait for all kinds of reasonsgood news or bad, happiness or heartache. But the waiting is soon forgotten, usually, the minute a long awaited child walks through the door. My boy will be here soon. But if he is late, I can wait. I am good at it. And he is worth it.
