Hannay was nervous. His enemies (敌人) were after him. All around him were grassy hills without trees. He had nowhere to hide and no way to run away.

Hannay walked along the country road for a long time. Then he saw a road worker, who was working alone, fixing the road. Hannay could see the road worker was not feeling well. Hannay came up to him and said, “How do you do?”

“My head hurts,” the man said. “I can’t do it. I want to go home. My daughter got married yesterday. I drank a lot of wine with my friends.”

Hannay thought he should be home in bed. “If you go away, I’ll be in trouble,” the road worker replied, “because the new surveyor will come to look at my work. If he comes and find me away, I’ll be in trouble.”

Suddenly Hannay had a bright idea—he could act as the road worker and get away from his enemies.

“You go off to bed,” Hannay said. “I’ll do your job until the new surveyor comes.”

The road worker was pleased with his idea. He gave Hannay his hat and his old coat. Then he went home to sleep and perhaps to drink a bit more. Hannay put on the road worker’s hat and coat and began to fix the road. About an hour later, he heard a voice.

“Are you the road worker?” it asked.

It was the new surveyor. He was a young man with a clean face. He sat in a small car.

Hannay said yes. The surveyor told him about some work he wanted him to do before he came by again and drove off. Hannay continued with his work.

Then a village boy came by. “What has happened to the road worker?” he asked.

  “He stayed at home today,” Hannay replied. “He’s sick.”

At about midday, a large car came down the hill and stopped near Hannay. Three men got out of the car. Hannay’s heart beat fast. He knew his enemies were coming...

29.  Why was the road worker feeling ill?

A. He had a terrible cold.     B. He had been working all day.

C. He hadn’t eaten anything all day.   D. He drank too much the day before.

30. What can we infer from the story?

A. The village boy knew the road worker.

B. The surveyor had a lot of working experience.

C. The grassy hills were a perfect hiding place for Hannay.

D. Hannay helped the road worker because he was warm-hearted.

31. What is the correct order of the story?

① Hannay met a road worker and offered help.

② Hannay was worried because his enemies were following him.

③ A car stopped near Hannay and three men got out.

④ Hannay acted as the road worker when the surveyor came by.

①Can you imagine a sea of sand three times bigger than India? This is the Sahara Desert, the largest desert in the world. It covers 11 countries in North Africa and is over 9 million square kilometers. That’s more than 25% of Africa.

②In the Sahara, temperatures are very different during the day and at night. It is much hotter during the day than at night. During the day, the hottest time is between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. when temperatures rise to 33°C. But it is very cold at night-the coldest time is at 4 a.m., when temperatures fall to -1°C. The Sahara is very dry. The precipitation (降水量) in a year is only about 70 millimeters. Because of the extreme temperatures in the desert, it is a very difficult place to survive. Marco Rivera, our survival expert, has some tips.

③Take warm clothes and a blanket. You will need a hat, long trousers and a woollen coat to keep you warm
