24、       Orienteering(定向赛跑) is a sport which began in Europe in 1918. It is very popular in Sweden. A five-day orienteering event attracts(吸引) over 15,000 orienteers every year. To orient yourself means to work out where you are. In orienteering, people run or walk around a course, using a compass(指南针) and a map to find their way.

       Orienteering is known as the “O sport” because orienteers need to think about where the controls might be and when they should run.

       Another name for orienteering is “cunning running”, because you must think about the best way to go. Which way should you choose? Should you run down the long track(小路) or climb over the big hill?

How do you do it?

       Runners use a compass and map to find red and white marks in the bush(丛林). The marks are called controls. They can help them find their way.

       Each runner chooses a course. There are simple courses for beginners. There are harder courses for runners or walkers who have done orienteering before. And there are the hardest courses for the best runners.

Who does it?

       Orienteering is popular with people of all ages, in many parts of the world.

       Orienteering began in Australia in 1969. In 1985, the world championships were held in this country. They ran in the bush near Bendigo, in Victoria. Orienteers came from Scandinavia, France, China, Japan, the USA, New Zealand and many other countries.

The balalaika, also called the “Russian guitar”, is a traditional Russian musical instrument. It has a long neck, a wooden triangle-shaped body and strings. It is usually used to play Russian music by plucking (弹拨) the strings with fingers or a pick.

Russians like the balalaika. The music played with it can be cheerful, as if the farmers were dancing happily to celebrate their harvest. It can also be energetic, as if the workers were working hard to make their country richer and stronger. If a Russian moves to live or work abroad, he will probably take a balalaika with him. When he feels lonely and sad, he will play it to cheer himself up.

The balalaika was originally played by the poor in Russia. At that time, balalaikas were made by the players themselves. They were rough, simple and cheap with different numbers of strings, from two to even six. Later a Russian musician Vasily Vasilievich Andreyev (1861-1918) improved the balalaika. He created a whole family of balalaikas of different sizes, all with three strings. The smallest balalaika is called Prima. It is 60-70 cm long. The biggest, Contrabass, is almost 2 meters high with a leg to sit on the floor. Andreyev founded the first balalaika orchestra (管弦乐队) in the world, mainly using balalaikas to perform. He gave concerts at the Universal Exposition in Paris in 1889, which was a great success.

Today, there are balalaika groups performing around the world. More and more people get to know the balalaika and are attracted by its Russian-style music.

26、"An Englishman，even if he is alone，forms an orderly queue of one，" wrote a famous British author，George Mikes．While this sounds funny，it's a popular English stereotype（刻板印象）．From the supermarket to the subway，queues are a common sight on the streets of Britain．

27、

Dear Consumers,  

I love slipping into a comfortable chair for a long reading — as I relax into the chair, I also relax into the author’s words, stories and ideas. The physical book is so elegant that it disappears into the background, and what remains is the author’s world.

Today, we at Amazon are excited to announce Kindle, a wireless, portable reading machine with instant access to more than 90,000 books, magazines and newspapers.

We’ve been working on Kindle for more than three years. Our top design goal was for Kindle to disappear in your hands — to get out of the way, so you can enjoy your reading. We also wanted to go beyond those thick and heavy books. Kindle is wireless, so whether you’re lying in bed or riding a train, you can think of a book, and have it in less than 60 seconds. No computer is needed, for you do your reading directly from the machine.

We chose the same wireless technology used in advanced mobile phones. But unlike phones there are no monthly wireless bills, no service or data plans, and no yearly contracts. There is no software to install(安装). We want you to get lost in your reading and not in the technology.

Kindle uses a new kind of display called electronic paper. Sharp and natural with no strong light, reading on Kindle is nothing like reading from a computer screen. Kindle weighs only 10.3 ounces — less than a paperwork — but can carry two hundred books. Enjoy learning about Kindle and many thanks!

What is Technology? Technology is the application (应用) of knowledge to production. With the development of science and technology, we can enjoy the convenience of life. We have been able to increase greatly the efficiency of our work because of m【1】 technology. For most of us in America, technology is thought of as the reason why we can have cars and television sets.

However, technology has also increased the amount of food a【2】 to us by means of good farming machinery and animal breeding techniques, and has extended our life span (寿命). So it raises a question. Will human beings continue to live longer and have a higher quality of life? The answer depends on technology and our ability to use it w【3】. If we keep making progress as we have over the past fifty years, the answer is definitely yes. The improvement in technology depends upon research and d【4】, and the latest statistics (统计) show that the United States is continuing to spend billions of dollars every year on such e【5】. So while we are running out of some scarce resources, we may find technological substitutes (代用品) for many of them through our research programmes.

Actually, when we need new skills on techniques in medicine, people will start developing new technology to meet those needs. People will work together to design new products to s【6】 some difficult problems. When equipment proves to be slow or inefficient, new machines will be i【7】 in response to it.
