After shaking the east coast of Honshu, Japan on March 11, the earthquake has caused more than 10, 000 deaths and 17, 000 people missing. In downtown of Tokyo, buildings shook and frightened citizen blocked out all the streets and roads. The tsunami（飓风）afterwards, which caused more deaths and injury, made Japanese people unable to cheer up. “Now that our neighbors are in trouble,” the Foreign Ministry spokesman said, “we are in our turn to give a hand. Our rescue team has already got there in time to help.” The terrible earthquake also caused a big fire breaking out at the Fukushima nuclear power plant（福岛核电站）, leading to a radiation leaking（泄漏）.
50 nuclear workers, facing radiation and fire, became the only people remaining at the Fukushima nuclear power plant on Tuesday — and perhaps Japan’s last chance of preventing a broader nuclear danger. They have volunteered to put seawater on dangerous nuclear fuel（核燃料）to cool it down, to prevent thousands of tons of radioactive dust high into the air. Some scientists suggest that the leaking is harmful to human being and may influence human body through rain or snow from the sky in the future.

Once there lived a farmer who owned a land along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. Even after letting out several advertisements to look for someone to take care of his farm, no one seemed to sign up for it.
People were reluctant to work along the Atlantic, it had frequent storms. These storms were cruel, violent and destroyed every building and crop field they touched.
After months of advertising and request refusals, a man came to the farmer for the job. “Do you have any skills or experience to work on a farm like this?” the farmer asked him.
“Well, I may not have enough experience, but I can sleep when the wind blows,” replied the man.
Although the farmer wasn’t sure if the man was the right person for the job, the farmer was too desperate to have someone to help him on the field that he hired him anyway. The man worked well around the farm. The farmer was pretty satisfied with the man.
Then one stormy night, the strong wind blew hard and woke the farmer. The farmer immediately got off his bed and headed towards the quarter where his helper was sleeping.
“Wake up!” the farmer shouted, throwing the soundly asleep man off the bed, “A storm is coming. Tie things down before they get blown away.”
The man sat up and said, “No, sir. I told you I can sleep when the wind blows.”
The farmer turned red with fury after listening to this. He controlled all his will to fire the man because at the moment it was more important to secure his fields and barn than to argue with his helper. The farmer ran out to tie the things up and was surprised by what he saw.
All of the chickens were in the cages, the cows were in the barn, the doors were closed, and the shutters were firmly secured. Everything was tied down so that nothing could be blown away.
The farmer smiled. Now, he understood what the man meant by when he said he could sleep when the wind blew. He went off to bed and slept soundly through the storm.

Early in the 16th century men were trying to reach Asia by travelling west from Europe. In order to find Asia, they had to find a way past South America. The man who finally found the way from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean was Ferdinand Magellan (麦哲伦).
Magellan sailed from Seville in August 1519 with five ships and about 280 men. Fourteen months later, after spending very cold winter on the coast (海岸) of Patagonia, he discovered the channel which is now called Magellan’s Strait (海峡). In November 1520, after many months of dangers from rocks and storms, the three remaining ships entered the ocean on the other side of South America.
They then continued, hoping to reach Asia. But they did not see any land until they reached the islands off the coast of Asia. Before they arrived at these islands, later known as the Philippines (菲律宾), men were dying of hunger. While they were staying in the Philippines, Magellan was killed in battle (战斗). The remaining officers then had to get back to Spain. They decided to sail round Africa. After many difficulties, one ship with eighteen men sailed into Seville three years after leaving. They were all that remained of Magellan’s expedition (远征). However, their achievement was great. They were the first men to sail round the world.

Americans think that travel is good for people. Some even think it can help one of the country’s worst problems—crime(犯罪).
Crime worries a lot of people. Every year, the number of crimes goes up and up. They often come from sad homes, with only one parent or no parents at all. There are problems with alcohol(酒精) and drugs.
There are many young criminals(罪犯) in prison(监狱). But prison doesn’t change them—60 to 70 percent(百分比) will go back to crime when they come out of prison.
One man, Bob Burton, thought of a new idea. In the old days, young men had to live a hard life on the road. They learned to be strong and brave, and to help their friends in time of danger. This helped them to grow into men. So Bob started “Vision Quest”.
He takes young criminals on a long, long journey with horses and wagons(货车) 3,000 miles through 7 states. They are on the road for more than one year.
The young people on Vision Quest all have bad problems. Most of them have already spent time in prison. This is their last chance.
It’s hard work on the road. The day starts before the sun comes up. The boys and girls have to feed the horses. Some of them have never loved anyone before. But they can love their horses. That love can help them to a new life.
Not all young people in Vision Quest will leave crime behind them. Thirty or forty percent till one day be in prison again. But that’s a lot better than 60 or 70 percent. Bob is right. Travel can be good for them.
Even today, Americans still say, “Go west, young men.”
1.According to the passages, travel is good for people because it can .
A、get rid of(摆脱) crime completely
B、change the way of life
C、help to reduce criminals
2.Which of the following is NOT the character of the criminals?
A、A lot of them are young.
B、They may often drink wine too much and take drugs.
C、They like travelling far away from their homes.
3.Which of the following is TRUE?
A、Young criminals become less and less as time goes by.
B、All criminals do better after they come out of prison.
C、Many young criminals are changed better by Bob’s new idea.
4.The young people on Vision Quest have to .
A、work all day and night
B、get up early to feed horses
C、love the homes
5.What does the underlined sentence “Go west, young men.” in the last paragraph mean?
A、People can learn to be strong and brave on a long journey.
B、People can learn to help others in time of danger on a long journey.
C、Both A and B.
