However, real-life pet detectives are different from the noisy and funny detective Ventura in the movie. They are trained experts who take their jobs very seriously. Liu Wei, the 35-year-old man from Shanghai, is quite famous in the new business. He entered the business early. In 2012, he read an article about pet detectives by chance. As a lover of cats and dogs and a fan of detective fiction, he decided to give it a try. But his family didn’t support him. And they didn’t believe someone would spend money finding an animal. However, Liu didn’t give up. Now Liu has a 12-person team working with him. They have about 30 orders every month. Before heading out, he asks the pet owners many questions about their lost pets, like name, looks, and others. This is very important. It’s very common for him to walk tens of thousands of steps a day. Liu also makes good use of modern tools while searching. So far, Liu has helped reunite (使团聚) more than 1,000 lost pets. “It’s a great sense of achievement when I finally find a missing pet after days of efforts,” he said. The pet detective business has grown in China in recent years as more people keep pets at home. Hiring (雇佣) a pet detective is not cheap. It can cost a few thousand to more than 10,000 yuan depending on the area, but it’s worth it for pet owners. “They are not animals. They are members of the family,” Liu said. 8. What is the detective Ventura like in the movie? A. Serious and shy. B. Noisy and funny. C. Active and confident. D. Careful and hardworking. 9. Why didn’t Liu Wei’s family understand him? A. Because they worried about his health. B. Because they knew he couldn’t keep on. C. Because they didn’t want him to be with animals. D. Because they thought this kind of job had no hope. 10. Why do the pet owners want to spend so much money searching for their pets? A. They think it is a sense of achievement. B. Their pets are worth more than 10,000 yuan. C. Their pets can’t return home by themselves. D. They look on the pets as their family members. 11. What can we know from the text? A. Liu Wei will offer new services to pets later. B. The future of the pet detective business is bright. C. Liu Wei has worked as a pet detective for fifteen years. D. The number of the missing pets is increasing every year. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11.

I am only strongly curious (好奇的).” The greatest inventions in history would be impossible ________ curiosity. Curiosity can bring new discoveries. Benjamin Franklin is a great example. He was interested in electricity and had a deep curiosity about its nature. He did lots of research to try to understand it. For example, he flew a kite during a storm. His curiosity led him to invent the lightning rod (避雷针). This invention protects buildings from lightning. Curiosity can also make people brave. Just look at Wan Hu, the Ming Dynasty pioneer of space exploration. He was so curious about space that he invented a “flying chair”. He lost his life while testing this invention. Although he didn’t succeed, his curiosity gave future explorers ideas. People learned from his example, and created safer ways to explore space. But curiosity is more than just taking risks. It also drives people towards certain goals. Zhang Heng, a Chinese scientist and inventor, was curious about the world: how did everything in the world move? He spent years studying the sky and the earth. Finally, he drew China’s first star map, and invented the first earthquake detector. His curiosity continues to influence scientists today. As Jacques Cousteau said, “What is a scientist after all? It is a curious man looking through a keyhole, the keyhole of nature, trying to know what’s going on.” Curiosity is the key. It opens one door after another for us to discover a new world. 51.

Day 2 started with cycling on the ancient City Wall. We rode 5 kilometers, enjoying views of old towers and modern buildings blending together.

C Most people had never heard of a pet detective (侦探) before watching the old movie Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. However, real-life pet detectives are different from the noisy and funny detective Ventura in the movie. They are trained experts who take their jobs very seriously. Liu Wei, the 35-year-old man from Shanghai, is quite famous in the new business. He entered the business early. In 2012, he read an article about pet detectives by chance. As a lover of cats and dogs and a fan of detective fiction, he decided to give it a try. But his family didn’t support him. And they didn’t believe someone would spend money finding an animal. However, Liu didn’t give up. Now Liu has a 12-person team working with him. They have about 30 orders every month. Before heading out, he asks the pet owners many questions about their lost pets, like name, looks, and others. This is very important. It’s very common for him to walk tens of thousands of steps a day. Liu also makes good use of modern tools while searching. So far, Liu has helped reunite (使团聚) more than 1,000 lost pets. “It’s a great sense of achievement when I finally find a missing pet after days of efforts,” he said. The pet detective business has grown in China in recent years as more people keep pets at home. Hiring (雇佣) a pet detective is not cheap. It can cost a few thousand to more than 10,000 yuan depending on the area, but it’s worth it for pet owners. “They are not animals. They are members of the family,” Liu said. 8. What is the detective Ventura like in the movie? A. Serious and shy. B. Noisy and funny. C. Active and confident. D. Careful and hardworking. 9. Why didn’t Liu Wei’s family understand him? A. Because they worried about his health. B. Because they knew he couldn’t keep on. C. Because they didn’t want him to be with animals. D. Because they thought this kind of job had no hope. 10. Why do the pet owners want to spend so much money searching for their pets? A. They think it is a sense of achievement. B. Their pets are worth more than 10,000 yuan. C. Their pets can’t return home by themselves. D. They look on the pets as their family members. 11. What can we know from the text? A. Liu Wei will offer new services to pets later. B. The future of the pet detective business is bright. C. Liu Wei has worked as a pet detective for fifteen years. D. The number of the missing pets is increasing every year.

I am only strongly curious (好奇的).” The greatest inventions in history would be impossible ________ curiosity. Curiosity can bring new discoveries. Benjamin Franklin is a great example. He was interested in electricity and had a deep curiosity about its nature. He did lots of research to try to understand it. For example, he flew a kite during a storm. His curiosity led him to invent the lightning rod (避雷针). This invention protects buildings from lightning. Curiosity can also make people brave. Just look at Wan Hu the Ming Dynasty pioneer of space exploration. He was so curious about space that he invented a “flying chair”. He lost his life while testing this invention. Although he didn’t succeed, his curiosity gave future explorers ideas. People learned from his example, and created safer ways to explore space. But curiosity is more than just taking risks. It also drives people towards certain goals. Zhang Heng, a Chinese scientist and inventor, was curious about the world: how did everything in the world move? He spent years studying the sky and the earth. Finally, he drew China’s first star map, and invented the first earthquake detector. His curiosity continues to influence scientists today. As Jacques Cousteau said, “What is a scientist after all? It is a curious man looking through a keyhole, the keyhole of nature, trying to know what’s going on.” Curiosity is the key. It opens one door after another for us to discover a new world. 51.
