3. 有關生活方式的英語閱讀題（帶答案）

As many as one thousand years ago in the Southwest, the Hopi and Zuni Indians of North America were building with adobe－sun baked brick plastered with mud. Their homes looked remarkably like modern apartment houses. Some were four stories high and contained quarters for perhaps a thousand people, along with store rooms for grain and other goods. These buildings were usually put up against cliffs, both to make construction easier and for defense against enemies. They were really villages in themselves, as later Spanish explorers must have realized since they called them 「pueblos」, which is Spanish for town.
The people of the pueblos raised what are called「the three sisters」 - corn, beans, and squash. They made excellent pottery and wove marvelous baskets, some so fine that they could hold water. The Southwest has always been a dry country, where water is scarce. The Hopi and Zuni brought water from streams to their fields and gardens through irrigation ditches. Water was so important that it played a major role in their religion. They developed elaborate ceremonies and religious rituals to bring rain.
The way of life of less settled groups was simpler and more strongly influenced by nature. Small tribes such as the Shoshone and Ute wandered the dry and mountainous lands between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. They gathered seeds and hunted small animals such as small rabbits and snakes. In the Far North the ancestors of today's Inuit hunted seals, walruses, and the great whales. They lived right on the frozen seas in shelters called igloos built of blocks of packed snow. When summer came, they fished for salmon and hunted the lordly caribou.
The Cheyenne, Pawnee, and Sioux tribes, known as the Plains Indians, lived on the grasslands between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River. They hunted bison, commonly called the buffalo. Its meat was the chief food of these tribes, and its hide was used to make their clothing and covering of their tents and tipis.
1. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The architecture of early American Indian buildings.
B. The movement of American Indians across North America.
C. Ceremonies and rituals of American Indians.
D. The way of life of American Indian tribes in early North America.
2. It can be inferred from the passage that the dwellings of the Hopi and Zuni were______.
A. very small
B. highly advanced
C. difficult to defend
D. quickly constructed
答案解析：

1. D） 根據閱讀短文可知，作者主要描述了北美地區不同印第安部落的不同的生活方式 。故選項D為正確答案。
2. B） 此題為推斷題。根據文章第一段可知，早在一千年前Hopi和Zuni兩支北美印第安部落就用一種磚坯「adobe」來建造房屋，高可達四層樓高，有居住室還有儲藏室，頗像現代的公寓，故選項B（高度發達）為正確答案。

---7 Reasons Walking May Be The Best Exercise You Can Get---

Exercise isn』t nearly as popular or practiced as it needs to be in America, and the rest of the world isn』t faring so hot, either — especially considering that a moderate amount of daily exercise is enough to keep all sorts of debilitating diseases like diabetes and heart disease at bay. If you』re someone who knows you could use a bit more exercise in your day-to-day life, but inexperience or nerves keep you from joining a gym or enlisting the help of a personal trainer, don』t despair.
It turns out that walking — yes, that activity you』ve been engaging in since around your first birthday — may be the very best exercise you can get, and it』s something almost anyone can do without any training, at any fitness level, and with very little monetary investment. If you need your arm twisted a bit as to why walking may be the best exercise available, here are seven reasons to say, 「Uncle,」 and head out for a stroll.
Less Stress on the Body
Running is the most popular form of exercise in the United States, and while it undoubtedly provides excellent fitness and health benefits, it can also be hard on joints — especially in aging runners. Walking, on the other hand, is a low-impact activity that keeps joints strong and loose well into old age. Because exercise puts some stress on the body — it』s the effort that benefits us, after all — choosing an activity that』s easier on joints, muscles, and tendons makes it an excellent choice for someone who hopes to exercise and stay healthy their whole life long.
It Works for All Ages and Fitness Levels
Whether you』re 25 or 85, walking is an exercise you can do. While some precautions may need to be taken for people who are older — extra care ring bad weather, walkers, canes, and the like — it』s still more than possible for even the very aged to take an afternoon walk for health benefits, and because it can be tailored to people of all fitness levels, you』ll never be too fit or too out of shape to take a walk. The athlete may need to walk longer and harder than the beginner, but walking is truly an inclusive exercise. So, grab your grandmother, and strap on your pedometers for an exercise you both can enjoy.
Reces Heart Disease Risk

Heart disease is still the number one killer in America, and walking is an ideal way to combat it. In fact, researchers in California found that, in some cases, walking is a more effective weapon against heart disease than running. For six years, the scientists monitored people between the ages of 18 and 80, and they found that walking reced participants』 risk of heart disease by almost 10 percent, while running reced the risk by less than five percent.
It Strengthens Your Heart
In addition to recing your risk for heart disease, walking is a boon to your heart』s overall strength. Blood pressure is more easily maintained within healthy levels, which can cut your risk of stroke by almost 30 percent. Also, walking helps lower LDL (bad) cholesterol, while it raises HDL (good) cholesterol. The simple act of putting one foot in front of the other gets your heart and blood pumping more quickly and more effectively, which also benefits your entire circulatory system.
It Prevents Dementia
One in six people over 80 suffer from dementia, and regular exercise cuts the risk of developing it at all by 40 percent. Simply walking as much as six miles per week reces brain shrinkage in the elderly and helps preserve memory. Since walking is one of the easiest exercises for the elderly to engage in, making it a part of your daily practice will make aging less disruptive mentally and physically.
It Keeps Weight at a Healthy Level
While any type of cardiovascular exercise is going to help you burn calories and trim your waistline, walking — because it』s so easy for anyone to partake in — is an ideal way to keep your weight at a healthy level. Whether you do it three times a week or every day, take a brisk walk on a regular basis to keep obesity at bay.
It Increases Happiness
All exercise boosts the exerciser』s mood, and some studies have even shown that brisk walking is as effective as antidepressant medications in mild to moderate depression. If you could use a few feel-good endorphins rushing through your blood, recing your anxiety, and, in general, making you want to whistle, take a 30-minute walk every day.
Exercise is a key component to living a healthy life — no matter what age you are, and while there are many excellent types of exercise to choose from, walking may be the cream of the entire fitness crop. From its ageless appeal to its ability to lower heart disease risk, walking just might be the fountain of youth we』re all looking for.

「人不是為失敗而生的,一個人可以被毀滅,但不可以給打敗」.孤獨的老漁夫聖地亞哥剛毅的性格、精湛的釣魚術等勾勒出他已不僅僅是條硬漢,也從他身上看到了各種不同的、讓人深思的境界：自信、勇敢、樂觀、單純、孤寂及睿智.老漁夫的這種精神很值得我們去學習,去挖掘.文中孩子是從五歲起跟老人上船學習捕魚的,孩子的個性特徵從另一個側面反映了老人的性格,表現出那種不畏艱難的,勇於戰勝困難的性格；孩子雖然很小,只有幾歲,但並不顯很孩子氣；從老人那裡學到的不僅是捕魚的本領,還有自尊自強的精神,並學會懂得生活的艱辛與男人的責任.稚嫩的肩膀早已習慣了清早就得出門打魚的生活的磨礪,縱然是「走路還打瞌睡」,仍然說「這算什麼,男子漢就得這樣.」鏗鏘有力,落地有聲的言語充分的展示了硬漢子精神.這種精神是很值得我們去學習的,也很讓我感動.
給我感觸最深的是文中老漁夫的那種精神,馬諾林小孩的那種懂事,在生活中,在學習中,還是在以後的工作中,當我們遇到前所未有的苦難與挫折的時候,我們應該想想那個在大海上孤獨地與強敵戰斗的「硬漢」老漁夫,文中小孩的那種懂事與自尊自強,像他那樣經的起生活的磨礪.這樣,我們就會發現其實有很多困難並沒有想像中的那麼不可戰勝.如果我們去學習這種精神,並擁有這種「硬漢」的精神,激發我們的最大潛能,就可以戰勝我們認為這是不可能戰勝的困難.

英語趣味小知識(2)——你會犯這樣的錯誤嗎？
你會犯這樣的錯誤嗎？
英語有時候真是莫名其妙，你覺得你明明懂了，可實際上你又沒有懂。所以，今天我想講幾件軼事，都是因為沒有理解聽到看到的東西而鬧出的笑話。也許，從他們的經驗中，你也可以學到一些東西。
第一個故事發生在秘魯，一位美國婦女在餐館里用餐。她問服務員：
Excuse me. Where could I wash my hands?
服務員把她帶到洗手間，可不巧，正有一些工人在粉刷洗手間的牆壁。工人們一看有人要用洗手間，就准備離開。服務員攔住他們，說：
That』s Ok. Stay. She only wants to wash her hands.
在英語里，wash my hands實際上是上廁所的委婉說法。那個服務員按照字面意思理解，結果鬧了笑話。
還有一次，一個留學生在國外的學校第一天上學，心裡又興奮又緊張。一個美國人見到一張新面孔，為了表示友好，就問：
Hi! What』s the good word?
留學生一聽到這個，立刻傻眼了，他想，
My God! I don』t know the good word. I』ve studied English for years, but no one told me about the good word!
他猶豫再三，想，反正我也不知道，就問問他好了。於是他吞吞吐吐地問：
Hello. What』s the good word?
老美聽了，很隨意地說：
Oh, not much.
這下，這個留學生就更吃驚了！

原來，What』s the good word? 在美語里，是一句問候語，意思是「你還好嗎？」但問話的人並不指望你把遇到的高興的事情都一一告訴他，只是打個招呼而已。但這個留學生以為對方真的在問什麼是Good word，所以鬧了笑話，不過還好，也算給他歪打正著了。

下面的故事就更有意思了。一次，一個美國公司的管理人員給公司一個駐外分部發了一份傳真，要求對方把職員的人數報上來。他是這么說的：

I need a head count telling the number of people in your factory, the number of people in your office, broken down by sex.

在上面的傳真里，broken down by sex是「按照性別分開」的意思，但是分公司的外國職員沒有理解「broken down by sex」的意思。不過break something/someone down倒是還有一個意思，就是「把某事物，把某人壓服」。

結果，美國總部收到了迴音。那份傳真是這樣說的：

Here is your head count. Here we have thirty-five people in our factory, fifteen people in our office, five people in the hospital, none broken down by sex.

(這是你要的人頭數。我們的工廠里有35人，辦公室15人，醫院5人，無人因縱欲過度而垮掉。)

最後，他還加了一句：And if you really must know, our problem down here is with alcohol. (如果你非要知道，我們這兒的問題是飲酒過度。)

查字典，break down就是「把……壓服，把……壓垮」的意思，因此外國職員就把broken down by sex理解成了「因為縱欲過度而垮了」，但是在那樣的語言環境下，broken down by sex實際上是「按照性別分開」的意思。美國人一下子就理解的東西，在外國人眼裡，就成了匪夷所思。可見，語言學習還真是麻煩。最好的辦法當然是不斷積累，還有，如果有不懂的東西，一定要問明白！

續動物篇

Santa Claus' reindeer(聖誕老人的馴鹿)

你知道聖誕老人的馴鹿是怎麼來的嗎？它們是Clement Clarke Moore （1779-1863 美國作家）所寫的『A Visit from St. Nicholas』1823作品裡出現的Dasher、Dancer、Prancer、Vixen、Comet、Cupid、Donner、Blitzen等8頭

the world is my oyster （世界是我的牡蠣）

if the world is my oyster 經常作為「如果我的夢想得以實現的話」的意思使用。該句來源於莎士比亞的The Merry Wives of Windsor (1600)Ⅱ､ⅱ､2中，惡棍Pistol對決意不肯借錢的Sir John Falstaff說、「Why then the world's mine oyster, / Which I with sword will open.」（這個世界如同我的牡蠣一樣，我可以用刀子把它撬開。）人們應用這句話是常把原文的mine該成my.這句話也常常出現在Willy Loman的台詞中
