The next day, Peter held up a notice as The Green Dragon came out of the tunnel
towards the cottage (a small house in the country). The notice said, “LOOK OUT AT
THIS STATION.”
The old gentleman saw the notice. He looked out at the station as the train came
in. He saw a little girl—it was Phyllis—running towards his carriage. He stood
up and leaned out of the window of his carriage.
“Please read this,” Phyllis said, and put a letter into his hand.
The train left the station. The old gentleman sat down and read the letter. It
was from Peter. The letter said:
Dear Mr. We do not know your name.
Mother is ill, and the doctor says we must give her some special things. But
Mother can’t afford them.We do not know anyone herebecause Father is away,
and we do not know where he lives.

the station master tomorrow.
The letter was signed by Peter, Roberta, and Phyllis.
The old gentleman read the letter and smiled. Then he put it in his pocket and
started to read his newspaper again.
That night there was a knock on the door of the cottage. The porter from the
railway station was there.
“An old gentleman gave this parcel (包裹) to the station master,” he said.
“It’s for you.”
The parcel was full of everything on the list of special things to make Mother
well again. There was a letter from the old gentleman. It said:
Dear Peter, Roberta, and Phyllis,

may say that you were wrong to ask a stranger for these things.

Seiichi Sano, an 89-year-old Japanese man, rides a wave at Katase Nishihama Beach,
Thursday, March 30, 2023. He has been recognized as the oldest male to surf(冲
浪)by the Guinness World Records.
But maybe he will just keep surfing. “I think it would be interesting to try
to surf until I’m 100,” Sano said. “I think I take better care of myself when
I have dreams like this. Even now, I take better care of myself than I did before.”
Sano said he got the idea to try surfing from a worker at his local bank. The
man’s skin was always dark and he did not look like a usual worker. His secret to
keep healthy and energetic, he said, was surfing. So, Sano found a teacher.
Sano gets out most weekends on the black-sand beach. “I don’t consider myself
an old man,” he said in his wet suit, board standing next to him. “I have never
thought of myself as an old person. I always feel that I can still move forward.
I can still do it. I can still enjoy it.”
Several young students who also work with Sano’s surf teacher talked about Sano.
“I think age doesn’t matter in surfing,” a 12-year-old surfer said.
“He is so amazing,” added his younger brother.
“To be honest, I was surprised by his age,” said Sano’s surfing teacher. “I
was worried that he would get hurt. I did not know how fit he was.”
Sano still works 9-to-5 at his job. Surfing helps make him less stressed.
“People often say that surfing is life itself,” he said. “I think it is true.”
33. What does the underlined word “recognized” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Led.
Collected.
B. Given.
C. Accepted.
D.
34. Paragraph 3 mainly tells us ________.
A. where Sano learnt to surf
B. why Sano tried surfing
C. how Sano planned to surf
D. when Sano went surfing
35. From the words of the young students and Sano’s surf teacher, we can infer
________.
A. they respect Sano very much
B. Sano’s age influences his
surfing
C. they’re worried about Sano’s work
D. Sano is often hurt when
practising
36. According to the passage, we know Sano ________.
A. is too old to start surfing
B. gets bored with surfing
C. feels stressed after surfing
D. enjoys a lot from surfing

Many of us have seen rainbows in the sky once the sun starts shining again after
it rains. For us to see a rainbow, the conditions need to be just right. We need
some water drops in the air, like rain or even fog, and we need the sun to be behind
us and quite low to the ground. This is because a rainbow is created by light passing
through water drops.
The light that comes from the sun seems white to us. But the white light we see
is made up of a mix of different colors. When the light goes through a raindrop,
these colors can separate out. Each of the colors in the rainbow has a different
“wavelength” (波长). Raindrops look like little balls. When light hits one of these
little balls of water, the light can change direction. We call this “refraction”
(折射). Each of the different wavelengths is refracted differently. If the light
hits the raindrop at the right place, the refraction separates the wavelengths out
into their different colors.
We are taught there are seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo
and violet. But this isn’t exactly true. Blue and green are next to each other in
the rainbow, which is why we can see turquoise (a mix of blue and green). Brown is
a mix of red and green. But they aren’t next to each other in the rainbow, so we
don’t see them mix to make brown.
We would never see black and white in a rainbow. Black is what we see when there’s
no light at all. On the other hand, white is a mix of all the colors together. When
light is refracted by raindrops, it separates the white light out, meaning it is
no longer white.
37. We can see a rainbow under the right conditions because ________.
A. the raindrops are like little balls
B. the light goes through raindrops
C. the sunshine seems to be colorful
D. the weather is foggy after it
rains
38. According to the passage, what can we know about the colors in the rainbow?
A. They can become brown or black.
B. There are only seven colors in
all.
C. They mix to make the white light.
D. Their own places can be changed.
