Until the invention of the steam engine, humans travelled the earth on foot．The slow travel meant explorers frequently returned with stories about distant lands: some of them wild tales, some honest descriptions.
     Barbara Klion, who has retired, knows what that’ like．As a walker who has toured Australia ,Kenya and China on foot ,her trips are the modern edition of an ancient tradition for years．Klion and her husband ,now 75 and 80 years old travelled independently.
     Walkers know seeing the world on foot gives them a rare experience．Often travelers are attracted by local people and customs．They also get a  beautiful and lasting impression of the scenery．Walking tours can be done in one’s backyard, but there are several destinations around the world that expose travelers to the best of nature and culture 
    What to look for ? A famous guide says the essential of a quality walk are great scenery, tolerable weather ,suitable level of difficulty and something like ecology ,history or culture．These may seem like unclear instructions , but the fun of walking tours is that many things are determined by the traveler. Someone who appreciates hot climates ,wildlife and flat areas could choose a walking tour in Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park．Travelers who don’t mind the cold and enjoy adventure could hike Patagonia, an area of southern Argentina  east of the Andes.
     In general ,independent travelers can decide how far to go each day, while guests of a tour agency should expect to walk an average of four to eight miles a day．At the Fordland National Park ,for example, there are several easy-to-difficult hikes, giving travelers many choices.
28．Which of the following does NOT make a quality walking ?
   A．Great scenery                              B．Tolerable weather
   C．A helpful companion                     D．Suitable level of difficulty
29．According to the passage, compared with guests of a tour agency, independent travelers______.
   A．can walk farther                          B．have more choices
   C．face more difficulties                    D．spend less
30．What is the author’s attitude to walking tours?
    A．Indifferent          B．Negative            C．Worried           D．Supportive
31．The best title of the passage might be _____
    A．See the World on Foot                B．Barbara Klion ,a great Traveler
    C．What to Look for                      D．The Fun of Walking

Night after night, she came to tuck me in (盖被子), even long after my childhood years．___61    (follow) her longstanding custom, she’d lean down and push my long hair out of the way, then kiss my forehead.

I don’t remember    62    it first started annoying me — her hands pushing my hair that way．Finally, one night, I shouted out at her, “Don’t do that anymore — your hands are too rough!” She didn’t say    63    in reply．But never again    64    my mother close out (结束) my day    65    that familiar expression of her love.

Time after time, with the passing years, my    66    (think) returned to that night．By then I missed my mother’s hands, — missed her goodnight kiss on my forehead．

Whether you're a child, teenager, young adult or are middle-aged, respect your parents is an important value. Your parents are the people who raised you, devoting time, energy and money to your development.    36     No matter your age, there are 5 ways to show respect.

●Respect their belongings.

One important way to show respect is to show regard for the things important to your parents. For younger children, this may mean not touching jewelry or other valuable things.  For grown children, respect may mean returning a borrowed tool in good condition and on time. Lack of respect for a parent's belongings is a violation of personal boundaries.     37     And never borrow things without asking first.

●Punctuality .

   38     Therefore, always be on time. For teenagers, showing up on time means coming home by curfew（宵禁）.Adult children should show up on time for family dinners or events, or to pick a parent up for a medical appointment. Call if you're going to be late because parents worry about children, no matter their age.

●  39     Remembering birthdays, anniversaries and other special days is a sign that you honor your parents. Make plans to take them to lunch or dinner or bake a cake or cookies. Most parents don't expect expensive gifts, but a handmade gift is always appreciated .A phone call from a grown child who lives too far for a visit is a welcome sign of respect.

●Be kind.

Kind words and affection are simple ways to show respect. Tell your parents you love them.  Listen and allow your parents to speak without interruption. Show a sincere interest in what your parents have to say. Be patient with your parents and don't rush them. Never talk back or be rude or disrespectful. Acknowledge your parents' achievements.    40 

A．Be a good listener.

B．Celebrate with them.

C. Lateness indicates a lack of respect.

D. Treat your parents the way you would like to be treated.

E. And they love you unconditionally throughout your life.

F. Being respectful helps build positive relationships with others.

G. Don't take advantage of your parents' kindness and generosity.
