24、   Nothing in Wiley Post's early years showed that he would become a famous pilot one day.

His family were farmers. In 1913, Wiley saw something that forever changed his life---an airplane. Wiley Post began to study everything he could find about flying. Post finally rode in an airplane in 1919. After his first ride, Wiley Post knew that flying was something he could learn to do.

Wiley Post began his career in flying, not as a pilot, but as a performer who jumps from airplanes using a parachute. He did this with a group that performed flying tricks to earn money.

Wiley Post then decided the only way to become a good pilot was to buy an airplane of his own. He needed more money than be earned in the flying show. He went to work in the oil-producing areas of Texas. But he damaged his left eye in an accident. Doctors had to get rid of his eye. Judging distance is difficult without two eyes. Wiley Post began teaching himself to judge distance with only one eye. It took a long time, but he succeeded. In 1928, he got a job flying the plane that belonged to a rich oil producer from Oklahoma called F.C. Hall. In 1930, Post entered the National Air Races in this plane and won.

On June 23. 1931, Wiley Post and Gatty had flown around the world. But many people said Gatty was the real hero. He had guided the flight. This hurt Post. Wiley Post began to plan another flight around the world. This time he would go alone.

On July 15, 1933, Post took off from Floyd Bennett Field in New York. He became the first person to fly from New York to Berlin without stopping. He had flown around the world in eighteen hours and forty-nine minutes.

25、Three students are talking about the New Year tradition of their own country.

On the last day of the year, the 31st of December, people wait till 12 p．m. Everybody must have 12 grapes to eat at midnight. At each sound of the clock, we must eat a grape.

26、Whenever we watch a horror movie and something scary happens, we might close our eyes and scream. However, chances are that we will continue to watch and enjoy the movie anyway. So why can fear be so much fun?

According to a recent study conducted  at the University of Pittsburgh in the US， watching horror movies can raise our mood, unite people and increase our confidence.

In the study, 262 adults were asked to enter a haunted house. Inside，they were met with a series of intense(紧张的) things over a course of 35 minutes，and were asked to record their feelings both before and after the experience. At the same time, the researchers also monitored their brain waves. According to the researchers, the participants（参加者） were more likely to be happier and less anxious and tired after they left the house. That's because in this intense condition, their brains produce more dopamine.

What’s more, taking advantages of this sensation may bring people together .  Experiencing the haunted house is just like running a 5 kilometers race or tackling a difficult climbing wall. This means that people in scary situations may be more likely to be uncertain and depend on others for support. “ We build a special closeness with those we are with when we are in an excited state,” said Margee Keer ,one of the study's authors, told The Atlantic. “ We're social and emotional beings---- we need each other in times of stress. So the fact that our bodies have evolved to make sure we feel close to those we’re with when afraid makes sense.”

In addition, being scared in a safe place could be a good way to increase our confidence. “Being scared in a safe place is a source of enjoyment and makes us feel good physically and can even serve as a confidence boost by reminding us that we can make it through a scary situation. We are strong.” Keer told The Independent.

A. fear can help us increase our confidence.

B. why fear can be so much fun.

C. fear is important in our daily life.

D. what happens in some horror movies?

【2】It's clear that_____________ .

A. People in scary situations surely unite together.

B. Experiencing in the haunted house may help to raise mood.

C. Being scared can make us feel good physically.

D. Scary things are helpful.

【3】In Margee Keer’s opinion_________.

A. Everyone should watch horror movies.

B. We feel close to those who’re with us when we feel anxious.

C. Going through a scary situation can help us to increase our confidence.

D. We don't need each other in times of stress.

【4】The underlined word dopamine means_________ .

A. Knowledge

B. Power

C. Something that can make you tired.

D. a chemical which produces happy feelings.

【5】Compare experiencing a haunted house to a 5 kilometers race to show that___.

C. the experience can raise our mood

28、Power in the Path

Have you ever taken a bike ride in the sun? It might make your ride a little 【1】 (更热) , but a cycle path in a sunny area can be a good thing. In fact, in the Netherlands, one company decided to build a cycle path that can create energy using the sun.

In the town of Krommenie, there's a cycle path of 【2】 (七十) meters with solar panels(太阳能电池板) in it. These panels get light from the sun. They then use that light to produce electricity, which is used for street lights and so on. In its first year, enough energy can be 【3】 (提供) for one house for a whole year!

Developers are still doing research. They make sure path is strong enough for buses and 【4】 (卡车) to drive over it. They must also make sure the path isn’t too 【5】 (平滑的) because that could make people fall over 【6】 (容易地). This test path must be just right before this type of path can be built in other places.

In 【7】 (另一个) Dutch town, Eindhoven, there is a cycle path that uses solar energy to make art. The path, which opened in 2014, is made up of thousands of tiny lights that get the light 【8】 (在……期间) the day and give off light at night. From above, these lights look like the famous painting The Starry Night by Dutch 【9】 (艺术家) Vincent van Gogh. This one-kilometer path is to honor Vincent van Gogh, who lived in this area from 1883 to 1885. It’s a beautiful and creative way of using the power of the sun, and the path now 【10】 (接待) many visitors.
