22、   “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.” It’s a famous sentence from US president John F. Kennedy’s speech in 1961.

Mark Zuckerberg, who set up (创立) social network site Facebook, must agree with Kennedy. The 35-year-old American raised $100 million for the public schools in New Jersey, US.

Who is this young billionaire? How did he make his fortune (财富)?

Zuckerberg was a computer geek (天才) at Harvard University. As a second-year student, he set up a website to put the “face books” — photos of incoming first-year student —online. The website, where people were able to share personal information, was a success at once.

Zuckerberg first opened Facebook to high school students and then to everyone. Soon it became a part of American life. Now Facebook is the most popular site in the world with 600 million users. If Facebook were a country, it would be the world’s third largest.

“I could have never imagined all of the ways people would use Facebook when we were getting started six years ago,” Zuckerberg wrote in his blog.

Zuckerberg’s dream is to make the Internet a more connected place. That task could help Facebook make money: The more people share information about themselves online, the more money Facebook will make selling advertising.

Yet the billionaire keeps his own life out of the public eye. At the company, he sits among a sea of desks like hundreds of workers. A visitor to Facebook might not even recognize Zuckerberg in T-shirt and jeans. He usually takes one two-week vacation each year with his wife Priscilla Chan, who was once a Chinese American student at Harvard. On the weekends, he roasts pig in his garden for friends and takes Mandarin (普通话) lessons.

The Social Network, a movie based on Zuckerberg’s story, was among popular films of Year 2010.

【1】At the very beginning, Mark Zuckerberg set up the website in order to ________.

A.communicate with more people B.make a lot of money

C.put the photos of first-year students online D.become a famous person

【2】Mark Zuckerberg gave $100 million to ________.

A.Harvard University B.the public schools in New Jersey

C.his hometown D.high school students

【3】Mark Zuckerberg set up Facebook ________.

A.when he was a first-year student at Harvard University B.when he was 26 years old

C.in his second year at Harvard University D.soon after he finished the study at university

【4】The underlined sentence “Yet the billionaire keeps his own life out of the public eye.” is closest in meaning to ________.

A.Mark Zuckerberg tries not to attract others’ attention to his family life

B.Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t like to speak in public

C.Mark Zuckerberg is afraid to meet new people

D.Mark Zuckerberg chooses to live in a place far away from people

【5】According to the passage, Mark Zuckerberg ________.

A.likes to roast pig for friends on weekdays B.takes Mandarin lessons

C.likes to wear suits at work D.makes some movies

【6】At the beginning of the passage, the writer says Mark Zuckerberg must agree with Kennedy’s famous sentence because ________.

A.he helps to introduce America to the outside world B.he works hard to make his country rich

C.he seldom asks others to help him D.he does a lot of charity (慈善) work for his countrymen

23、   Have you ever walked along the Silk Road? Do you know the famous Silk Road? The Silk Road was an ancient network of trade routes (贸易路线) connecting the East and the West. People used to do business with others from different countries along these routes. Scientists and archaeologists (考古学家) believe people began to travel along the Silk Road centuries ago. By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world, the Silk Road had covered almost 6,500 kilometers. It started from China and finally got to Rome.

Merchants traveling along the Silk Road carried silk, of course. They also carried and traded in tea, cloth, gold, jewels and other things. During its busiest time, the Silk Road attracted people from many different countries, such as China, Iraq, Turkey and Greece. All those people traveled along the Silk Road to share goods, stories, ideas, languages and cultures.

In modern times, the old Silk Road is still useful, but now people use trains instead of camels and horses to travel. They have realized the Silk Road is becoming more and more important among countries. So they, especially Chinese people, are trying to make better use of it. There is even a Silk Route Museum in Jiuquan, Gansu Province. It has over 35,000 objects about the Silk Road. In this way, China protects the history of many countries.

24、Shirley, an elephant, has something to say. She opens her mouth and speaks. The nearby elephants understand the sound, but it is just noise to me.

What is Shirley exactly saying? Scientists are not sure, but they are trying to find out how elephants communicate. I visited Shirley at the Elephant Sanctuary (避难所) in Hohenwald, Tennessee. The sanctuary is home of Shirley and five other elephants —Bunny, Jenny, Sissy, Tarra and Winkie. All six animals were once in zoos or circuses (马戏团). Now they walk freely in the forests.

A noisy group

Not all the elephants speak like Shirley. Tarra speaks like a sea lion when she is happy. Bunny squeaks (吱吱叫) often. I soon get used to hearing the different voices of the elephants. When one gray giant comes close to me, I know which elephant it is.

Elephants also communicate in a way that people can’t hear. Scientists believe that elephant’s sound can travel for miles. Elephants in a group use it to keep in touch when they are alone.

       Old friends

       The elephants speak to one another for the same reasons people talk. Sometimes they even shout with excitement. When Shirley first came to the sanctuary, Jenny looked at her and began to shout. Shirley shouted back. At first, the animal keepers had no idea what it was about. Later, they discovered that Shirley and Jenny had stayed together for 20 years earlier in a circus. They still knew each other.

_________________________
