Rabbit Shiny and tortoise(乌龟) Smily were neighbours．One day they were reading a story about their great grandfathers: Shiny’s and Smily’s great grandfathers decided to have a race．While Shiny’s great grandfather went to sleep during the race, Smily’s great grandfather won the race by slowly walking towards the finish line．

Smily said, “If your great grandfather didn’t go to sleep, my great granddad might never win．So his win was not a real win.”

The next day there was a notice in the jungle(丛林) newspaper．It said that there would be a race and the winner would win many prizes．The race started from the bear’s house．From there, the runners had to cross the river．But most of the animals could not both run fast and swim fast．So they didn’t know what to do．Shiny and Smily made a plan.

Shiny ran, while smily was sitting on his back．He and other animals, like the deer, reached the river side at the same time．But they saw the swift water and stood there because they were worried．None of them liked the idea of crossing the river．Smily quickly got into the water and Shiny sat on his back．Smily started swimming．Soon they reached the other side of the river．Shiny got down from Smily’s back and Smily climbed on Shiny’s back again．Shiny ran fast．They reached the finish line first.

“Both of them are the winners.” The president of the jungle said, “Shiny and Smily helped each other during the race and they won．So let’s give them a big hand.”

There are several ways you can find out about the countries and places you wish to visit．You can talk to friends who have travelled to the places, you can go and see a film, or you can read travel books．

It seems that there are three kinds of travel books．The first are those that give a personal, subjective (主观的) ideas of travels which the writers have got themselves．These books can be useful if the writers share their travelling experiences with others．The second are those books which give a purely objective (客观的) information of things to be done and seen．If a cultured person has written such a book, then it is even more useful．The third kind are those books which are called “a guide” to some place．If they are good, they will describe and explain the place in detail．I think they are the most helpful for travellers．Like the first kind, they can be exciting and interesting, but their main purpose is to help the reader plan his travel in the most special way．

Whatever kind of travel book you choose, you must make sure that it does not describe everything as “wonderful”, “excellent” or “fantastic”．You must keep an open eyes on its date of publication(出版) because travel is a very practical matter and many things change quickly in the twenty-first century．Finally, you should make sure that it is easy to find the useful information for your travel.

(    )37．The writer of the first kind of travel book gave his ideas after he _______.

A．travelled                                            B．read books       

C．heard a lot about travelling           D．surfed the Internet

(    )38．The underlined phrase “a cultured person” means person with _______.

A．a good appearance                    B．a good education  

C．a lot of experience                     D．a lot of money

(    )39．The date of publication must be noticed because _______.

A．the prices of travel books may be different

B．the writers of travel books may be different

      C．the information in travel books is always the same

D．the information in travel books is always changing

(    )40．According to passage, it is best to read _______ before travelling to a place of interest.

A．the first kind of travel book               B．the second kind of travel book

C．the third kind of travel book             D．some travel articles in newspapers

It seems school children all over the world don’t like their school food．So what do students of your age eat for lunch at school?

Japan

High schools have dining rooms, which serve everything from noodles to rice, but not hamburgers and chips．Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls, meat of fish and vegetables．Students take home a menu for the coming month with notes on nutrition value(营养价值)．The class with the fewest leftovers(剩饭) at the end of the month receives a prize.

United States

A menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with potatoes or chicken, fruit and cookies．School lunches must also provide at least one-third of the daily vitamin(维生素) A, vitamin C, iron(铁), calcium(钙) and calories(卡路里).

Australia

Hot dogs are traditional dishes in Australia school shops．But as the country pays more attention to children’s health, healthier foods have started to find their way onto school menus．

Many schools have used a traffic light system(系统)．The sale of red-labelled foods, including chocolate and soft drinks, is served only twice a week．Healthier green-labelled foods such as sandwiches, corn and watermelon, however, are provided every day．

South Africa

Most of South Africa’s schools do not provide meals at all．Classes end at 1:30 p.m．and students get their own lunches．Many students bring food from home, usually sandwiches.

Fast food sells the best among students．But as more people began to realize the fact that being too fat may cause different illness, some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition．Now students at these schools are provided with lunches of porridge(粥) with vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots and tomatoes
