    The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California is one of the world’s most beautiful bridges．It is also one of the most visited places in the world．More than 1800 hundred million vehicles have used the bridge since it opened more than 70 years ago．

    The bridge was painted “International Orange” because that color went well with the natural surroundings．The color also is easier to see in the heavy fog that often covers the area．But the Golden Gate Bridge was not named for its orange color．It was named for the body of water that it crosses,the Golden Gate Strait,which is the entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean．

    Planning for the bridge began in the 1920s when the area around San Francisco was growing．People living in the area needed another way to get to the city besides small ferries．Joseph Strauss was the chief engineer for the project．Work began in 1934．Mr．Strauss demanded the strongest safety protections in the history of bridge building．These included the first use of”hard hats”to protect the workers’ heads and special glasses to protect their eyes．A special safety net was suspended under the bridge．This net saved the lives of 19 men during the construction．

    The Golden Gate Bridge opened in 1937．It extends 1280 meters across the water．The total length is 2737 meters．It was the largest suspension bridge(吊桥)in the world until 1964．That is when the Verrazano Narrows Bridge opened in New York City．Today, the Golden Gate Bridge is the ninth longest suspension bridge in the world．

29．What was the Golden Gate Bridge named after?

A．The Strait it crosses                    B．The color of paint

C．The local climate               D．Its natural surroundings    

30．How did people cross the Golden Gate Strait before the bridge was built?

A．By plane．    B．By train．    C．By road．   D．By boat．

B．His safety measures were not of practical value．

C．He attached importance to the workers’ safety．

D．He demanded strong measures to ensure the safety of the bridge．

Given the tradition of students bringing apples to their teachers, it somehow seems fitting that an old apple barn(谷仓)will find a new life as a one-room schoolhouse．And it is just as fitting that a retired schoolteacher will become the caretaker of that historic treasure．

    My friend Velma,a teacher for more than 30 years,has been retired for some time now, but that doesn’t stop her giving history lessons at the old Englewood School,located on her family’s California farm．The lovingly restored building was constructed around 1850 as a home for a woodsman and later was used as an apple barn．Then, in 1870 it began a new life as a schoolhouse．

    Originally located in the nearby Englewood meadow, it was now moved its current site in 1978 by Velma's late husband and his brother, Robert and Richard, who thought it would help keep Velma busy in retirement．No nails had been used in the original construction, so each piece of wood had to be carefully marked and the building was reassembled(重装)on its new site．The brothers worked with much care and hard work to ensure a perfect fit of mitered(斜接的)comers．After the relocation．Velma and her family furnished the school with some of its original desks．They also added a collection of schoolbooks, the oldest dating back to 1845.

    Nowadays Velma gives tours to local schoolchildren and other groups, who learn what it was like to attend school back in the good old days．She has kids ring the school bell, recite the Pledge of Allegiance and sing “Good Morning to You” as they might have done in days gone by．Then, with twinkling eyes and much enthusiasm, she tells the history of the school, and gives a short sample lesson．

33．What was the Englewood School used as before it began a new life in 1870．

A．a lady’s house     B．a schoolhouse     C．an apple barn  D．a restroom．

34．Which word can best describe the school’s being relocated?

A．Challenging        B．Refreshing         C．fashionable   D．Inspiring

35．Which can serve as the best title of the passage?

A．The Good Old Days in the Schoolhouse

B．A Mysterious Building with a Long History   

C．A Teacher Devoted to Restoring Old Buildings

D．A Historic One-room Schoolhouse

Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp

Everyone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit—and that can be a very annoying thing.  71     Read on for some techniques worth trying.

1.  72     

People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer's disease (早老性痴呆症), according to a recent study.    73    Something as simple as setting a goal to havea weekly coffee date with a friend will do. There's evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals appear to do better. In other words, keep your brain looking forward.

2. Go for a walk.

Mildly raised glucose (葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact, exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain.   74     

3. Learn something new.

Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind. But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time.   75    .

A. Focus on the future.

B. This can be especially harmful to the aged.

C. It should be something like learning gardening or go dancing with your friends.

D. So take a few minutes each day to do some reading.

E. But don't worry if your schedule isn't filled with life-changing events.

F. Luckily, research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments.

G. In other words, when you take care of your body, you take care of your brain.

    The father was  47  and shouted at him to go back to his room because he thought his son was so  48  .The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door．The man sat down and started to get  49  angrier about the little boy’s  50 ．How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After an hour 51 , the man had calmed down, and started to 52 ．Then he went into the little boy’s room．“I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too  53  on you earlier．Here’s the $10 you asked for．”said the man．
