You can’t find ants easily all year round, and you may have to wait until the summer to find them on paths around your home.B．When you have found an ant, put a thin slice (片) of fruit in front of it.

They follow each other by making long trails. The ants go back and forth collecting food, to take back to their nest. When you move the fruit, the ants will still find it.

Well, it is from about 10,000 taste buds(味蕾) on the top of our tongues(舌头). And how about the most popular food to many of us? That must be chocolate, candies, cookies and all different kinds of desserts!Most sweet foods have sugar in them. That’s the main reason why it always makes us feel great. When any kind of sugar touches the tongue, taste buds will send a message to the brain. Then the brain will react in a way that makes us feel happy.Scientists think the brain’s reaction is a reward(回馈) for eating the foods we need. But why does the body reward us for eating sweet foods? In fact, sugar is an important source(来源) of energy that our bodies need. Thousands of years ago, people lived on wild plants and animals. At that time, sweet foods, such as fruit, were hard to find, so it was nearly impossible for people to enjoy a lot of food with sugar. However, sugar was actually good for their health. The body rewarded people for working long and hard to find these sweet foods.Since people learned to grow the plants they needed for food, sweet foods have become much easier to find. Today, most foods we eat have extra sugar added to them. As a result, many of us eat so much sugar that may have a terrible influence(影响) on our health. 28．How does the writer start the passage?A．By listing numbers.B．By telling a story.C．By comparing facts.D．By asking questions.29．Which of the following may be the most popular food to many of us?A．Fish.B．Cakes.C．Noodles.D．Milk. 30．Why is it easier to find sweet food now?A．Because people can grow the plants they need for food now.B．Because people don’t need any food with sugar now.C．Because there are more wild animals around the world now.D．Because there are more shops to sell sweet food now.31．What’s the purpose of writing the last paragraph?A．To explain why we like sweet food.B．To encourage us to eat more sweet food.C．To stop us from eating too much sweet food.D．To tell us where we can buy delicious sweet food.①You may think you cannot live through summer without air conditioners(空调). But in ancient China, hand fans were almost the only help for people to drive the heat away.①Chinese people started to use hand fans over 2,000 years ago. The fans came in different shapes, such as round and square. They were also made from all kinds of materials(材料). Palm leaf fans were cheap and easy to make. Feather(羽毛) fans showed the owner’s high status(地位). Sandal wood(檀香) fans could send out a sweet smell.①Later, hand fans became even more popular because they were seen as artworks. At that time, tuanshan (round fans) and zheshan (folded fans) were the most common.①In the shape of a full moon, tuanshan was usually made of silk. They had beautiful embroidery(刺绣) of birds and flowers on them. Women, especially those in the palace, liked to use them. Poets in ancient China often compared a woman’s abandoned(被抛弃的) fate to tuanshan. Nalan Xingde wrote during the Qing Dynasty, “If only life were as beautiful as when we first met, why should the autumn wind bother to pity deserted painted fans?”①However, men, especially the literati(文人), used zheshan, or folded fans. The literati liked them because zheshan were usually made of paper and they could paint and write poems on them. It was a way for them to show off their talents in literature, painting and calligraphy(书法). Almost anything can be painted on zheshan, but the most popular ones are usually landscapes(风景).①Today, Chinese people still use these fans. They have already become a symbol of Chinese culture and also a part of our everyday life. So the next time you use a fan, you may think of the stories behind it.32．According to this passage, which of the following may be Wang Xizhi’s favorite hand fan?a. b. c. d.A．ac B．ad C．bc D．bd 33．Which of the following is the Chinese translation of the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?A．人生若只如初见，何事秋风悲画扇。
