Im rather good at using maps. But I forgot the maps and here we were， late afternoon， last day of vacation， my daughter， my cousin and I， driving along a two-lane highway in Oregon. No other car was in sight， and the sun had just gone down. Where was that sweet little village？

It was supposed to be right along this river. We drove on， the unknown river always on the left as our guide. We kept passing farms and fields and then a few lights were coming out. In my head， I was doing a lot of self-criticism： Why didnt we start earlier， bring the map and so on？ My cousin and I were both impatient and stressed. My daughter， at least， was happy in the back seat， texting a friend. I pulled up on the shoulder of the road to think.

Just then—Wow！ Amazing！ A new scene appeared. Where did it come from？

Right there， out of nowhere： at magical misty landscape. Fields stretched in silent purple， with rows of tall trees， darkening in the dusk. I turned the car engine off. All was silent in the hot summer air. Beside us， a plum-colored river hardly moved between lines of trees， its dark lazy water reflecting the last light of day.

How breathtaking！ Where had it been？ If I had seen even a bit of this beauty while driving along， I could have stopped and taken a look. I had missed it all.

We miss a lot， almost everything， in fact， in our world. Our task-focused filters （過濾器） take care of that， selecting only what we need. We need to get to work. Have some lunch. We see what we need to see， often for the purpose of survival. Gregory Bateson， speaking of beauty， said the judgment is selection of a fact. In our daily lives， who or what is doing the selecting？ Can we make a change？ Can we see further？

24. Which is most probably the destination of the author according to Paragraph 1？

A. Her own home. B. A vacation spot. C. A tourist center. D. Her cousins farm.

B. Make a change for the purpose of survival.

C. Slow down your pace to enjoy the beauty in life.

D. Be positive because theres always an alternative.

Instead of throwing the pits （核） or nuts after eating fruits like many people， inheritors （繼承人） of nut carving will collect them and turn them into artworks.

“One nut， ranging from 0.8 to 6 centimeters， can be shaped into delicate earrings， buttons， seals， etc.，” said Tan Wanhai， an inheritor of Weifang nut carving.

Weifang nut carving can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty， during which a retired royal craftsman Wang Dayan spread the skill to the locals in Shandong. Craftsmen back then often used peach pits to display their artistic skills. Due to the demanding carving skills and its rich artistic content including many different elements， Weifang nut carving was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage as early as 2008.

Tan has studied the nut carving over 25 years and has created many nut carvings along the way. Yet， the 48-year-old craftsman also admitted that the journey of bringing this kind of masterpiece to life is not all smooth sailing. “Unlike some pits like olive pits whose surfaces are flat， each peach pit has a unique texture like fingerprints，” Tan said， adding that craftsmen should have the capability to trace each peach pit carefully to plan their artwork besides the carving technique itself. Also， craftsmen need to have a wide foundation of knowledge when it comes to carving nuts. According to Tan， they have to master skills in painting， seal carving and calligraphy from many traditional cultures. Sometimes， to depict classic folktales or legends in their artworks better， they need to read many books to prepare themselves.

It is this kind of dedication and innovative spirit that Tan and others possess that allows Weifang nut carving to thrive when many traditional skills are gradually disappearing. “In recent years， Weifang nut carving artworks have been increasingly welcomed by people in China for their inventive layout and novel ideas，” Tan said. This popularity， in turn， has also attracted many people to learn the skill of nut carving and even become inheritors to pass it down.

28. What can we know about Weifang nut carving？

A. It dates back to the Ming Dynasty. B. It can transform a nut into different designs.

C. It was invented by a royal craftsman. D. It was nationally recognized 25 years ago.

29. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about？

A. The cultural significance of nut carvings. B. The reasons why nut carvings are valuable.

C. The skills required for nut carving craftsmen. D. The difficulties nut carving craftsmen meet.

30. What does the underlined word “inventive” in Paragraph 5 probably mean？

A. Colorful. B. Traditional. C. Complicated. D. Creative.

31. What can be the best title for the text？

A. Seeds of Art and Beauty B. Art Coming from Life

C. History of Nut Carving D. Devoted Contemporary Inheritors

In dry Niger， south of the Sahara， farmers who allowed cut trees to regrow in their fields have seen crop harvests increase rapidly. In recent decades， farmers there have allowed millions of trees to regrow on land that had once been cleared.

For centuries， rich woodlands dotted this dusty， sun-baked region south of the Sahara. By the time Ali Neino was a boy in the 1980s， however， just one lonely tree shot from his familys land， and he could see clear to the horizon. “There was no vegetation in between the village and the fields，” recalls Neino， 45. “No trees， no plants， nothing.”

Decades of drought， land-clearing， and demand for firewood had left Niger nearly treeless. Intensive farming （密集農(nóng)作） to feed the worlds fastest-growing population ensured new trees would not take root. Government efforts to reforest the area in the 1970s failed. Sixty million trees were planted; fewer than 20 percent survived.

Instead of cutting trees down， farmers in Niger now leave them standing and allow them to regrow from stumps （樹樁）， knowing that the soil around them will retain more water and be enriched by the leaves. On a recent walk along his familys farm outside Dan Saga， Neino pointed to the trees growing everywhere.

In the past 35 years， as scientists begged nations to get serious about bringing forests back， one of Earths poorest countries， in one of the planets worst regions， added an astonishing 200 million new trees—maybe more. Across at least 12 million acres of Niger， woodlands have been re-established with little outside help， almost no money， and without driving people off their land. The trees here werent planted; they were encouraged to come back naturally， cared by thousands of farmers. Now， fresh trees are popping up in village after village.

32. Why does Paragraph 2 talk about Ali Neino？

A. To stress the importance of trees. B. To show the features of the Sahara.

C. To prove Nigers shortage of trees. D. To predict the disappearance of trees.

33. What made it hard for new trees to grow in Niger？

A. Years of drought. B. Intensive farming.

C. Trees low survival rate. D. Government efforts failure.

34. How did Niger manage to rebuild its woodlands？

A. By driving people off their land. B. By allowing trees to regrow naturally.

C. By encouraging farmers to plant more. D. By getting support from other countries.

35. What is the main idea of the text？

A. Trees are growing again in Niger. B. Land is cleared for tree-planting in the Sahara.

C. Trees are planted for the environment. D. Crop harvests are benefiting from trees in Niger.

There was a time when I was very concerned about what other people thought of me， especially when I was misunderstood and labeled incorrectly. 36 So， you need to do something to let go of that mental suffering if you are stuck in such a similar situation.

·Identify and understand why you care.

What makes what other people think of you so important？ If other peoples opinions cause you to worry， chances are that you have a tendency to be pleased. Being favored might be a winning formula （方法） for you in the past. 37 But if it doesnt come as expected， just be yourself.

·Understand you cant control others.

What most people dont understand is that we often form opinions of others based on associations we had in the past. And the bottom line is that its none of your business what another person thinks of you. 38

·Practice daily self-love and acceptance.

Your situation may come from a concept that we are not as worthy as another person and our needs are not as important as theirs. Recognize you are equal to anyone else. 39 We all have different roles but that does not make anyone more valuable as a human being.
