On June 14, 2008, nearly 500 years later, 16-year-old Zac Sunderland set off on a similar journey. After 13 months, the American boy returned with a new world record: the youngest person ever to sail around the world. Zac grew up on a boat and learned how to sail when he was 4 years old. As a child, Zac read a book called The Boy Who Sailed Around the World Alone by Robin Lee Graham. Graham was the first teenager to sail around the world alone in 1965. Zac was greatly touched by Graham's story. After his 16th birthday, Zac started making plans for his jourmey. Using his own money, Zac bought a boat, the Intrepid, and set sail. Sailing at sea is often dangerous. Zac had to face heavy storms and a lack of sleep on his journey. Once, a large pirate （海盗） ship followed Zac for some time. He had to lock himself inside his boat with his gun until the pirates left. Besides the dangers at sea, it was also boring to stay inside a boat all day. Zac read about 70 books! He also wrote to his family online to tell them about his experiences around the world. When the jourmey ended, Zac talked about how passion（热情） and courage made his dream come true: "There’s so much that people can achieve with the right motivation （动机） and the right ambition （抱负）.

B You may know the saying: An apple a day keeps the doctor away. A recent study by the Chinese University of Hong Kong has discovered another saying: An apple a day keeps old age away. The study involved fruit flies, as they share many genes （基因） with humans. Researchers gave food to two groups of fruit flies. Both groups got the same fruit, with one exception: the second group also got apples, while the first did not. The results showed that flies that ate apple lived an average of 55 days longer than the flies that didn't eat apple. The study also found that apple-eating flies were more able to walk, climb and move about as they became old, the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry reports. The researchers believe that the antioxidants （抗氧化剂） found in apples are good for health. In another experiment, researchers studied the diets of thousands of women. They found that those women who often ate apples were 20 percent less likely to have a heart attack. Scientists have recently discovered the apple’s genetic code（基因序列）.This allows scientists to make new kinds of fruit that are healthier. Researchers are already using this information to grow apples with added antioxidants. Antioxidants help to keep eyes and joints （关节） healthy and protect against heart attacks and cancer. Apples that help people lose weight may be in supermarkets in just four or five years. They are said to be "extra healthy" apples that can stop people from overeating. 24.

It is no exaggeration（夸张） to say within hutong lives the city's history. Every year, it receives more tourists from home and abroad than the high - rise buildings. The word "hutong"referred to a place where people lived, which was borrowed from the Mongolian word to mean "water well" about 700 years ago. Until now, one can still find dry wells in hutong. Hutong we see today are made up of small paths（小路） formed by walls of siheyuan. They were built during the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. When the People's Republic of China was founded in 1949, there were more than 3, 000 hutong. Most of the city's population lived in this traditional housing. But with the development of the city in the 1980s and early 1990s, many hutong were demolished to build roads,skyscrapers（摩天大楼）and modern houses. The g over m ment has realized the importance of hutong to Chinese culture. In 2002, Beijing listed 40 protected historical zones and increased its efforts to rebuild some key remains and older streets in the city. Nearly 500 hutong have been saved. Hutong that still exist are like oases（绿 洲）of calm in the noisy city. Although located downtown, the hutong were free from the noise of traffic, as they were too narrow to bear much.Walking through them, its common to see groups of elderly people sitting together playing cards, mabjong or Chinese chess. In the early mornings and evenings, they get together to practice traditional forms of exercise such as Taiji as well as dancing and singing folk songs or Beijing Opera. Hutong have become a museum of Beijing's folk customs and history. 28. What is the earliest meaning of the word "hutong"? A. Small paths. B. Water well. C. Siheyuan. D. A traditional house. 29. What does the underlined word "demolished" in paragraph 3 mean? A. Taken down. B. Moved. C. Set up. D. Forgotten. 30. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The future of hutong. B. The change of hutong. C. The beauty of hutong life. D. The history of hutong life. 31. What can we know from the passage? A. There are more than 3,000 hutong now. B. Most people in Beijing used to live in hutong. C. The government has built new hutong since 2002. D. Hutong are like the noisiest places in the city.
