Salted fish is a common food that is popular in the south of China. It is chewy (有嚼劲的) and adds a salty flavor to other dishes. But eating too much salted fish can give you cancer, according to a list of cancer-causing foods that was recently published by the China Food and Drug Administration.
Salted fish is produced with a large amount of salt, which later turns into nitrites (亚硝酸盐). When nitrites reach our stomach, they turn into another kind of chemical that can cause cancer, Huang Yufang from the Cancer Center of Guangzhou Medical University told Xinhua News Agency.
So does this mean we can’t eat salted fish anymore?
“People don’t need to worry too much. It (cancer) has to do with how often you eat certain foods and how much of them you eat,” Huang said. If you really like eating salted fish, you can eat a small amount once or twice a month. Meanwhile, you should also eat more fruit and vegetables that are rich in vitamin C, as this can help to prevent the formation of nitrites.
In fact, there are many foods that we often eat that are thought to cause cancer, such as pickles (咸菜), areca palm (槟榔), certain fried foods and even red meat, such as pork, lamb and beef.
Although these foods can potentially cause cancer, it doesn’t mean a person will get cancer just from eating them, according to the World Health Organization.
Cancer is caused by many different factors, such as one’s genes (基因), environment, lifestyle and eating habits. If one has a balanced diet, one doesn’t need to avoid cancer-causing foods entirely, Fang Yu, a doctor from the Beijing Cancer Hospital, told People’s Daily.
34. Why is salted fish popular in south China?
A. Because it is a common food in south China.
B. Because it is chewy and adds flavor to other dishes.
C. Because people in south China don’t have vegetables.
D. Because fish is easy to find and cook.
35. Salted fish may cause cancer when _____.
A. it is cooked with salt
B. the salt in it turns into nitrites
C. people eat too much of it
D. it is eaten with certain foods
36. What advice does Huang Yufang give to salted fish fans?
A. Stop eating salted fish from now on.
B. Have a small amount of the salted fish every day.
C. Go to see the doctor if you don’t feel well.
D. Eat more fruit and vegetables to get more vitamin C.
37. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. People should find a better place to live.
B. People who have a balanced diet will not get cancer.
C. Food itself can’t make people get cancer.
D. One doesn’t need to avoid eating cancer-causing food.

I saw Tom Sawyer on the way to the town. When he saw me he looked terrified.
“Huck! Why have you come back to scare me? I never hurt you,” he said.
“I haven 't come back. Tom. I've never been away.”
“Aren't you a ghost?”
“No, it was a trick.” I said.
Then I told him that I wanted to rescue(营救) Jim—a slave.
“I'll help you,” Tom replied excitedly. He loved an adventure more than anything else in the world.
When we got back to the farm, Tom said that he was Sid, Tom's younger brother. Aunt Sally was surprised to see him but was happy to have his two nephews.
That night, Tom and I went out to look for Jim. There were lots of huts in the garden. One of the huts was locked. So we guessed Jim was locked in the hut.
We dug a tunnel under the wall of the hut that night. Finally, we succeeded.
Jim was very surprised to see us.
“Hello, Jim!” Tom said. “But we aren't ready to do it yet, you'll have to wait a couple of days.” “Don't worry! you'll soon be free!”
Then we crawled back and talked about a rescue plan.
“I'm going to write a letter to Uncle Silas,” Tom said.” “Of course I won't sign it. It'll be anonymous. I’m going to warn him that somebody's planning to steal the runaway slave (奴隶).”
I didn't understand why we had to look for trouble but I didn't say anything.
 “Well, Huck, if Uncle Silas knows, he'll try to stop the thieves,” says Tom.
So Tom wrote the letter and I put it under the front door. Uncle Silas found it in the morning. After reading it, he went out at once.
At night, We successfully rescued Jim. We are very happy because Jim is a free man now. Though Tom got a bullet in my leg, it was a great adventure.
38. Who likes a great adventure best?

39. Why does Tom look frightened when he sees Huck on the way?

B. In order to make the adventure more exciting. 
C. In order to ask Aunt Sally to set Jim free.

"The hound! "cries Holmes. "Come, Watson! Come.
We run quickly over the moor. We hear one last cry. A man is lying on the ground. As we approach(靠近) we see the dead body of Sir Henry Baskerville. He is wearing his brown suit.
" Oh, no! 'says Holmes, This man has a beard!”
Indeed Selden is dead instead of Sir Henry.
So it is all clear to me. I remember that Sir Henry gave his old suit to Barrymore, and Barrymore probably gave it to Selden- his wife’s brother.
"Then Selden is dead because of this suit,” says Holmes.
"Think. Watson! Someone gives the hound some of Sir Henry’s clothes -probably the boot from the hotel in London. The hound picks up Sir Henry’s scent and runs after this poor man.”
Suddenly we see Stapleton walking towards us. He says, "There was a strange noise. I was worried about Sir Henry. I wanted to check if he was all right.”
“Really?” asks Holmes
Stapleton looks at Holmes. “Why, it is Mr Sherlock Holmes, the famous detective! Can you solve the mystery of the Hound of the Baskervilles?”
Holmes shrugs his shoulders. "We cannot solve every mystery. Anyway I return to London tomorrow.”
“Oh, do you return to London tomorrow?”
“Yes.”
So Holmes and I walk off to Baskerville Hall and Stapleton to his home.
Holmes thinks Stapleton is dangerous. But we have no proof that Stapleton is the murderer.
“There are no marks on Sir Charles's body. We know that he is died of fright, but we can't prove anything. ”
   “Things are becoming clear to me,” Holmes says to Sir Henry. "It’s a very difficult case. And you must help me to catch this hound.”
    We are surprised to see one portrait (画像)of a thin man is Sir Hugo, the first victim of the Hound of the Baskervilles. And he's like both Sir Henry and Stapleton. “ Stapleton is a Baskerville,” replies Holmes. “So he wants to inherit (继承) the Baskerville fortune , and he...,” I say. It’s an important clues.
42. The underlined word “scent” in Paragraph 2 probably means “       ”.
A. taste.           B. boot.        C. suit.      D. smell.
43. We can infer(推断) from the passage that        .
  A. Sir Henry tells Holmes that Stapleton is a Baskerville.
B. Stapleton wants to murder Sir Henry indeed.  
C. Watson finds out that Selden is Mrs Stapleton’s brother.
D. Stapleton kills Selden by frightening him with the hound.
44. Which of the following is True according to the passage?
A. Holmes and Watson think Mr Barrymore murders Selden.
  B. Holmes doesn’t catch Stapleton because he has no proof.   
C. Holmes and Watson find the dead body of Stapleton on the moor one night.
D. Holmes tells Stapleton that he and Watson are going back to London.
45. According to the last paragraph, what gives Sherlock Holmes an important clue?
A. One portrait of Sir Hugo         B. The Hound of the Baskervilles
C. The Hound of Sir Henry            D. One portrait of Stapleton

Everyone loves a good listener. Communication is important for strong relationships. However, if you don't truly listen to others, it can be difficult to communicate. Working on your listening skills can help you communicate better. The advice below may be of some value.
Give the speaker your full attention
It's important to make the speaker feel heard and valued.
Turn off the TV, put away your phone. Never think about other things when someone is talking. Instead, focus(聚焦) only on what he is saying. Communication will be better if you are able to have a true understanding of the other person's opinions.
Make sure to show you're listening . Nod as the speaker talks, smile and laugh properly. Even, the way you look at the speaker, makes a big difference.
Be patient enough
Do not cut in on the speaker. Always allow a few seconds of silence after someone finishes talking before offering your reply. This allows you to make sure the speaker is done talking.
Avoid hurrying the speaker. Don’t rush the person talking. Never say things like, "Can you get to the point?" This will make it seem like you have nothing to do with the conversation.
Hold your fire
When someone just wants to talk, you don’t need to tell him or her what to do. Try to understand how the person feels and why he does so.
It's never a good idea to listen with judgment. Even if you disagree with his or her actions or opinions, avoid saying he or she is wrong. Otherwise, your communication may end with an argument(争吵). When you “win” the argument, you may lose something far more valuable.
Therefore, it’s necessary to work hard to improve your communication skills.
    56  on how to be a good listener
Listen to others sincerely, you’ll communicate with them better. Therefore, it’s important    to learn some   57  skills.
Focus on the   58   Pay  59   attention to other things during the talk.
 You ought to  60   understand the speaker’s thoughts to make your communication better.
Be patient enough Cutting in on others is usually considered as  61  manners. To avoid that, you may   62  for a while to make sure it’s your turn .
