Nearly two decades after British writer J. K. Rowling introduced the famous boy wizard Harry Potter to the world in 1997, he is still making the news.
The opening of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park at Universal Studios in Hollywood in Los Angeles, USA, on April 7 brought the boy wizard's magical world to life.
" It's as close as you ever could be to a film in a theme park," Alan Gilmore, an art director for the new Wizarding World of Hairy Potter, told Entertainment Weekly.
From the start, visitors are greeted by a copy of the Hogwarts Express, the train that takes Harry Potter and his friends to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry every year.
After arriving at the school's castle, visitors can jump on the exciting "Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey" ride and take part in memorable scenes from Harry Potter. These scenes include flying above Hogwarts, taking part in a Quidditch match, escaping a dragon attack and avoiding a close meeting with the Whomping Willow(打人柳）.
Walking through the park, visitors can enjoy cobblestone streets, narrow alleyways and buildings with chimneys made to look like those in a real English village. "It's all about making it feel like it's been here a thousand years Gilmore told Variety magazine. "And that includes moss(靑苔)and adding some dirt here and there."
Die-hard fans can also enjoy foods and drinks like chocolate frogs, butter beer and every-flavor beans. And, of course，they can choose their first wands(魔杖). At 11 locations in the theme park, marked with a sign on the ground, visitors can wave their wands and make something magical happen!
24. What does the underlined part " making the news" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Making up stories. B. Creating a new art form.

For decades, archaeologists have wondered : Who or what killed the most famous boy king in history? Some experts thought that 19-year-old Tutankhamen had died in a hunting accident. Others said that he was murdered by a blow of the head.
Two years of DNA testing and CT scans may have finally solved the mystery of Tut's death. The teen pharaoh(法老），), scientists in Egypt now believe, was the victim of malaria(疟疾）, complicated by a bone disorder.
Even at his best, King Tut was no symbol of strength. "He was a weak boy who had a deformed foot and who needed a stick to walk," researcher Carsten Pusch told National Geographic.
Shortly before Tut died, in about 1324 B. C. , he may have broken his leg in a fall, the study's authors say. Because of a weak immune system, the pharaoh's leg couldn't heal, and a malarial infection (感染)）finished him off.
Tut was forgotten soon after his death. So why does he attract us today? In 1922, an archaeologist uncovered a group of royal tombs in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings. Thieves had stolen most of the graves.
Only Tut's was untouched. Egypt fever swept the globe as workers unloaded the dazzling treasures, hidden for more than 3,200 years, which had been meant to accompany the young pharaoh to the afterlife. In 1972, Tut's treasures began a series of tours around the world, giving millions of people a chance to view his golden burial mask and other relics up close.
Through it all, Tut's star will continue to bum bright, experts say. As author Jon Manchip White wrote, "The Pharaoh who in life was one of the least respected of Egypt's kings has become in death the most famous. "
28. What probably led to Tutankhamen's death according to the newest study?
A. A hunting accident B. A terrible murder.
C. An infectious disease D. A blow on his head.
29. Which word best describes the boy king's body?
A. Disabled. B. Over-weighted. C. Healthy. D. Strong.
30. Why has the Pharaoh become so well-known after his death?
A. Because he died at the age of 19.
B. Because his grave had been stolen by thieves.
C. Because he was one of the respectable kings in life.
D. Because treasures uncovered in his tomb attracted the world.
31. Which of the following may serve as the best title for the text?
A. The Cause of Tutankhamen's Death. B. The Most Famous Pharaoh in Egypt.
C. An Introduction to Valley of the Kings. D. Tutankhamen Came to Life after Death.
D
All the men in Moxton worked down the mine because there was nothing else to do, unless you became a vicar (教区牧师）)or a professional footballer. And in the last ten years Moxton had had just one of each. Dennis Parker, who was small and very white, had gone down south to be a vicar and Jimmy Shaw was the nearest thing Moxton had to a famous son. He played centre forward for Leeds and one game for England.
The mine company ran the Working Men's Club, too. Some of the greatest comedians in the country came to Moxton to tell their jokes at the club. This was the 1930's. Radio was around but nobody was very interested. Television hadn't started at all. The comedians toured the country, telling the same jokes over and over again. Nobody had heard them before because nobody went anywhere, ，outside their hometown.
People always ate the same things every day of the week in those days, too. There were few choices of food. Friday was always fish. There was always beef for Sunday dinner. That is of course if somebody was working to provide the money. No money and it was greens every day, if you were lucky. As late as World War II there were kids in the town who couldn't walk properly because they didn't get any vitamins. Rickets (佝偻病）they called it. You could see little kids limping (歧行) down the town's main street with rickets.
People lived in tiny cottages. When you walked in you were right in the main room. There was no hall or anything. There was a tin bath in the main room where the miner father washed himself in the evening, after his wife had heated up the water and carried it in.
Sunday was different, of course. Sunday was church and then maybe a walk on the moors. The countryside outside Moxton was green and hilly but somehow people never walked far. They were too tired. The men were old at forty and the women got old even quicker.
32. What do we know about Jimmy Shaw?
A. He had been the vicar's best friend.
B. He became a professional footballer.
C. He didn't like to work down the mine.
D. He was the most intelligent man in Moxton.
33. What can we learn about the people in Moxton according to Paragraph 2 ?
A. They never heard about radio and television.
B. They spent most of their spare time in the club.
C. They got tired of the same jokes but had no choice.
D. They didn't travel to places outside their hometown.
34. Why did people always eat the same food every day of the week?
A. Because they lacked the variety of food.
B. Because other food didn't suit their taste.
C. Because they only liked to eat fish and beef.
D. Because they were too tired to prepare different dishes.
35. What did people generally do on Sunday?
A. They took a bath to refresh themselves.
B. They went out for a walk after church.
C. They went to climb hills outside the town.
D. They stayed at their tiny cottages for a rest.

How to be more friendly and social
If you tend to be introverted or shy, it can feel uncomfortable to put yourself out there socially. 36 You can make the extra effort to be more friendly and open to others, while still keeping your own personality.
37 The key lo connecting to other people is showing interest in them. When you’re truly interested in someone else's thoughts, feelings, experiences, stories, and opinions, it shows — and they’ll like you for it. You'll make far more friends by showing your interest rather than trying to get people interested in you.
Be genuine. 38 If you're just pretending to listen or care, others will pick up on it. Rather than promoting greater connection , your efforts will likely have the opposite effect. No one likes to be manipulated(摆布). If you're not genuinely interested in the other person, then stop trying to connect.
Pay attention. 39 By paying close attention to what they say and how they interact, you'll quickly get to know them. 40 Don't ignore the details , such as remembering someone's preferences, the stories they've told you , and what's going on in their life.
A. Faking takes talent.
B. Little things go a long way.
C. Focus on others , not yourself.
D. Getting to know them is the key.
E. Showing interest in others can't be faked.
F. Make an effort to truly listen to the other person.
G. But you don't have to be naturally outgoing or the life of the party lo make new friends.
