The Sahara Desert

The Sahara Desert is the largest desert in the world. It stretches across Africa from Senegal to Egypt. The Sahara Desert is an unfriendly environment. During the day it"s very hot， and at night it"s sometimes very cold. It is also difficult to find water in the Sahara.

In 2006， Kevin Lin， Ray Zahab， and Charlie Engle decided to do something very difficult.

They made the decision to run across the Sahara Desert 4，300 miles （6，920krn）. It seemed impossible to do， but they wanted to try. The three men liked to test themselves， and this would be a very big test.

On the morning of November 2， Kevin， Ray， and Charlie started their trip across the Sahara.

Every morning they began running at 5:00. At 11 a.m. they stopped and rested until 5 p.m. Then they ran again until 9:30 in the evening. Each day they ran about 40 miles （64 km）. Every day it was the same thing. They got up and ran. They listened to music on their iPods， and they ran and ran.

Kevin， Ray， and Charlie needed to eat a lot of food during their trip. Most people need about 2，000 calories of food each day. Kevin， Ray， and Charlie needed between 6，000 and 9，000 calories every day. That"s a lot of food! They also needed to drink a lot of water.

The three men had some problems on their trip， and many times they wanted to quit and go home. It was often very hot （140~F/60~C） during the day， and the heat made them sick. Their legs and feet hurt. Sometimes it was very windy， and they couldn"t see. One time they got lost. But they didn"t quit. After 111 days， Kevin， Ray; and Charlie successfully finished their trip across the Sahara Desert. They hugged each other and put their hands in the water of the Red Sea. Then they ran to a hotel to take a long shower.

It‘s not always hot in the Sahara Desert. 查看材料

Historic Route 66: The Story of America"s "Mother Road"

1 The idea for Route 66 started in Oklahoma. Citizens there wanted to link their state with states to the east and west. By the 1920s， federal officials wanted to connect state roads to provide a shorter， faster way across the country. So a plan was developed to connect existing state roads into one long national highway.

2 United States Highway 66 was established on November 11， 1926. It was one of the first federal highways. It crossed eight states. It was 3，800 kilometers long. Route 66 became the most famous road in America. It passed through the center of many cities and towns. It crossed deserts，mountains， valleys and rivers.

3 In the 1930s， people suffered through the Great Depression. In Oklahoma， many poor familieslost their farms because of dust storms. So they traveled west to California on Route 66 in search of a better life. In 1939， John Steinbeck wrote about these families in "The Grapes of Wrath. "

4 In his book， Steinbeck wrote: "66——the long concrete path across the country， waving gently up and down on the map， over the red lands and the gray lands， twisting up into the mountains， crossing the Divide and down into the bright and terrible desert， and across the desert to the mountains again， and into the rich California valleys. " Steinbeck wrote: "66 is the path of a people in flight， refugees from dust and shrinking land. 66 is the mother road， the road of flight. "

5 In 1946， the songwriter Bobby Troup and his wife drove across the country to Los Angeles. He wrote a song about traveling on Route 66. The song told people they could have fun， could get their kicks， on that drive. In Los Angeles， Bobby Troup took the song to Nat King Cole， who recorded it. It became a huge hit.

6 In the 1950s， holiday travel brought more and more families out West to explore. Route 66 represented the spirit of movement and excitement. In the 1960s， Americans watched a popular television series called ;" Route 66. " It"was the story of two young men driving across the country. The show was filmed in cities and towns across America. Yet 0nly a few shows were filmed on the real Route 66.

7 In real life， people were getting fewer and fewer kicks 6n Route 66. By 1962， parts of the road were closed because they were in poor condition. The federal government was building bigger highways. Cars and trucks could travel at higher speeds， People started driving on these new interstate highways instead of the old Route 66. Finally， in 1985， Route 66 was officially removed from the national highway system. People have formed groups to save parts of the old 66 and many of the interesting places to eat， stay and see along the way.

B.Route 66 in American Literature.

C.Route 66 Never Going Down in History.

D.Brief Introduction of Route 66.

请根据短文内容，回答题。

Travel Across Africa

For six hours we shot through the barren (荒芜的) landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa. Just rocks and sand and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending, Daniel and 1 just wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth, a beautiful leather notebook I&39;d bought in a market in Mozambique.＜br＞

Southern Africa was full of stories and visions. We were almost drunk on sensations. The roaring of the water at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana.＜br＞

And then the other things: dogs in the streets, whole families in Soweto living in one room, a kilometer from clean water.＜br＞

As we drove towards the setting sun, a quietness fell over us. The road was empty--we hadn&39;t seen another car for hours. And as I drove, something caught my eye, something moving close enough to touch them, to smell their hot breath. I didn&39;t know how long they had been there next to us.＜br＞

I shouted to Dan: "Look! but he was in a deep sleep, his camera lying useless by his feet."＜br＞

They raced the car for a few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms in the red landscape.＜br＞

When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.＜br＞

"Wild horses？ "he said. "Why didn&39;t you wake me up, Sophia？"＜br＞

"I tried. But they were gone after a few seconds."＜br＞

"Are you sure you didn&39;t dream it？"＜br＞

"You were the one who was sleeping! "＜br＞

"Typical," he said. "The best photos are the ones we never take."＜br＞

We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.

Daniel and Sophia drove slowly through the busy desert. 查看材料

根据以下内容回答题：Expectations for personal relationships differ greatly across cultures．

根据以下内容回答题：

Expectations for personal relationships differ greatly across cultures．It is important to know that most AmericanS value close friendships，they also value privacy and independence．From an American perspective，to have privacy or to give someone privacy is considered posi-tive．Yet。when the word“privacy”is translated into other languages（e．g．Russian，Arabic，and Japanese）．it has more of a negative meaning．（In these languages“privacy”means aloneness or loneliness．）Therefore，the American’s need for privacy is sometimes judged negatively by those who have not been raised with the value of individualism．some Americans are isolated from others because they have taken their independence and privacy to an extreme．Others simply like spending time alone or at least having the freedom to avoid socializing if they choose． In any true friendship，whatever the culture may be， a person is expected to show interest and concen in a friend’S serious problems．But how does one show this across cuhures？It is not possible to generalize about Americans because there are SO manv varieties of Americans．but it is possible to say that many foreigners or newcomers from different cultures have felt disappointed by Americans．A common occurrence is when an American does not Dhone or visit as much．as the foreigner expects．If someone from another culture is having a serious problem，Americans may say，“Let me know if there’s anything l．can do to help．”If the Americans do not receive．a specific request，they may feel that there’s nothing they can do．In this case．They may call every now and then to stay in touch．The friend from a different culture，on the other hand，may be expecting“sympathy calls or frequent visits，and may not hesitate to demon．strate a dependence on a friend．Many Americans arc uncomfortable whrn people become too dependent．

What do Americans lay emphasis on concerning expectations for personal relationships？

A.Close friendships．

B.Privacy．

C.Valuable culture．

D.Both A and B．
