Walking through the dry leaves on his way home, Pat thought of what a bad day in school it had been. But every day was a bad day for him; he and the school did not like each other. But now that he was in the forest, Pat began to feel more like his usual self. He stopped to look at the quick moving stream of water called the Totopotomy. This little river was named for a man Pat liked, Totopotomy chief of the friendly Paumunkey Indians. He had heard stories about boys caught by the Paumunkeys who, when they were free, did not want to go home. Pat could understand how they felt. They did not have to go to school; they lived in the fresh air, and went fishing and hunting. How wonderful that must be!
The gentle sounds of a bird singing could be heard through the trees. Pat looked up, and tried to make the same sound. Uncle Langloo had told him to try and learn the language of the birds, and he was trying. Pat wanted to be like his uncle in every way. Langloo Win- ston was a hunter who spent most of his time living with the Indians. He fished with them, talked with them, even dressed like them, and the Indians loved him.
When Pat reached home, a young slave named Caesar ran out to meet him. Pat gave him a friendly push, and both boys rolled in the red earth. Caesar’s job was to serve Pat, but he was more friend than servant. Even as a boy, Pat Henry did not believe in such differences between men.

Passage Four
Three years ago on the last day of January, I had a big problem. I can’t forget this day forever. The story began when my uncle, my cousin, and I went to the desert. My uncle was the oldest at 72 years old, but he was still strong. My cousin at that time was 10 years old, and I was 25 years old. All of us liked hunting. Usually we went hunting on the weekend, especially in winter, because winter is the hunting season.
On the 25th of January, we decided to go hunting. All things were ready in the car, a Range Rover with four-wheel drive. We began on Thursday afternoon, and it took us three hours by car. We reached the place we were looking for at 5: 15 P.M.. First, we fixed the tent, then we made coffee and had a few minutes of rest. After that, we left to go on the hunt. We hunted using a falcon. Often, we hunt birds and rabbits. We spent two hours without finding anything. We decided to go back to the camp. On our way back, my cousin saw a rabbit. He cried, "Rabbit! ! Rabbit! Quick!" I took the falcon’s head cover and flung it off aggressively. When the rabbit saw the falcon, it ran fast, but my falcon was a professional hunter. He flew up and came down to trick the rabbit. After two minutes, the rabbit was caught. We took it and went back to the camp where we started to cook our dinner. We ate the delicious food, drank Arabic coffee, and sat around the fire talking until 10:30 P.M.. Then we went to bed.
We left camp the next day at 7 o’clock in the morning. We went north and found two kinds of birds and caught them, However, we faced trouble at 10: 00 A.M. because the car got stuck in the sand! We spent about three hours trying to pull out the car without any progress. Finally, we decided to walk. I talked with my uncle about how hard it is for an old man or a young boy to walk more than 40 k.m. in the desert. He agreed with me. So I took a bottle of water with me and started to walk south alone, I knew the way well, but it was a long way in the sand, I walked more than four hours without stopping, I felt tired and thirsty. I drank all the water which was in the bottle. I stopped to rest, sleeping around two hours.
When I got up, darkness had covered the area. "What should I do" I asked myself. I continued to walk south, I was worried about my uncle and cousin, and they were worried about me also. Suddenly, I met a Bedouin man who was riding his camel. He took me to his house. When I had had enough rest, I asked him to take me to the road and he did. After that, I found a car which took me to the city to get help. I had one day to get back to my uncle and cousin. When I got back to them, they were so happy because I had gotten help and they were able to see me again.
Eventually, I learned a lesson from this story, which was that the desert is very dangerous. Next time, when we go hunting, we must go in groups with two or more cars. If we go together, we can keep each other safe. We know the desert is dangerous, but we will never quit hunting.
A:Hunting is dangerous and he will not hunt again. B:When hunting, Saeed will use a different type of car. C:When hunting in the desert, people should go in groups with two or more cars. D:Bedouins are not helpful to strangers in the desert.
Walking through the dry leaves on his way home, Pat thought of what a bad day in school it had been. But every day was a bad day for him; he and the school did not like each other.

Two People, Two Paths ? ?You must be familiar with the situation: Dad’s driving, Mum’s telling him where to go. He’s sure that they need to turn left. But she says it’s not for another two blocks. Who has the better sense of direction? Men or women? They both do, a new study says. but in different ways. ? ?Men and women, Canadian researchers have found, have different methods of finding their way. Men look quickly at landmarks(地标) and head off in what they think is the right direction. Women, however, try to picture the whole route in detail and then follow the path in their head. ? ?"Women tend to be more detailed," said Edward Cornell, who led the study. "While men tend to be a little bit faster and a little bit more intuitive(直觉感知的). " ? ?In fact, said Cornell. "sense of direction" isn’t one skill but two. The first is the "survey method". This is when you see an area from above, such as a printed map. You can see, for example, where the hospital is ,where the church is and that the supermarket is on its right. The second skill is the "route method". This is when you use a series of directions. You start from the hospital, then turn left, turn right, go uphill, and then you see the supermarket. Men are more likely to use the survey method while women are more likely to use one route and follow directions. Both work, and neither is better. ? ?Some scientists insist that these different skills have a long history. They argue it is because of the difference in traditional roles. In ancient times, young men often went far away with the older men to fish or hunt. The trip took hours or days and covered unfamiliar places. The only way to know where you were was to use the survey method to remember landmarks—the mountains, the lakes and so on. ? ?The women, on the other hand, took young girls out to find fruits and plants. These activities were much closer to home but required learning well-used paths. So, women’s sense of space was based on learning certain routes. |
