While television viewers saw the competitors swimming side by side, in reality,Phelps raced by himself in the cold AUantic waters off of Cape Town, South Africa.

humor, saying： "Remaleh? Nexttime •••warmer water. ”
The swimmer later said,“Honestly, the first thought that went through my head when I saw the shark, is that there' s probably very little chance for me to beat him.
While some fans were disappointed that Phelps did not race a live shark m the ocean, organizing that would have been dangerous for the swimmer.

In 1951，a British explorer named Eric Shipton looking for an alternative route up Mt. Everest found a footprint that appeared to be human-like. He took a picture，and the mystery Daniel(神秘)the Yeti—a Sherpa word for “wild man”一cast a spell over the world.Danile Taylor, author of Yeti： The Ecology of a Mystery, has been searching for signs of this "Abominable Snowman" in the high Himalayas since he was a child.
Talking from his home in West Virginia, Taylor explains what he thinks made that human like footprint, how his search eventually led to the creation of a national park，and why, in an age where we have become disconnected from nature, we have a deep need to believe in mysteries.
The key evidence for the existence of the Yeti was the photo of a footprint taken by British explorer Eric Shipton in 1951.
The photograph was taken on the Menlung Glacier, west of Mount Everest, on the Nepal- Tibet border. Shipton and Michael Ward were searching for an alternative Everest route when they came across the prints. Shipton was one of the most highly respected Everest explorers, so if he is bringing back a print, it is a real print. Nobody ever questioned that. But what is it?
human，a King Kong type We expect them to give us
What was attractive about the prints was that they're really sharp. The snow was hard so the photo looks like a sort of plaster(石膏）.The second feature was that the prints looked like a human footprint, but with a thumb. So, you get this primate-like feeling but human-like at the same time. Its enormous size—13 inches—also suggests a large of image!
Many expeditions(探险队〉were sent out in search of the Yeti, a brief timeline.
28.Why did Eric Shipton go to Mt. Everest?
A.To explore it.
B.To take photos.
C. To work as a guide.
D. To look for the Yeti.
29. What can we know about Daniel Taylor?

B. He is devoted to the exploration of Mt. Everest.
C. He has lost confidence in the search for the Yeti.
D. He thinks people should have belief in mysteries.

31. What is the author’s attitude toward the search for the Yeti?
A. He thinks nothing

Crown shyness(树冠羞避）is a mysterious natural phenomenon in which the crowns of some tree species do .not touch each other, but get separated by a gap clearly visible from ground level. The effect usually occurs between trees of the same species, but has also been observed between trees of different species.
There are many theories going around, most of which make sense, but no one has been able to, prove without the shadow of a doubt why some trees avoid touching each other.
In his 1955 book Growth Habits of the Eucalypts，Australian forester M. R. Jacobs writes that the growing tips of the trees are sensitive to abrasion (擦伤），which results in crown shyness phenomenon. This theory was also supported by Dr Miguel Franco. Some experiments have shown that if trees displaying crown shyness are artificially prevented from swaying(摇摆） in the wind and touching each other, they gradually fill up the gaps between them.
But while the above theory is arguably the most widespread, it’s certainly not the only one. Some scientists have suggested that crown shyness is a mechanism to stop the spreading of leaf-eating insects. These pests have been known to work together and create stractures that extend up to 10 cm off of tree branches, in order to reach other plants,so the gaps are the tree snatural defense method.
One Malaysian scholar studied many trees, but found no traces of abrasions, despite their clear crown shyness. Instead, he suggests that the growing tips of the trees were sensitive to light levels and stopped growing when they got too close to other trees. Plants are able to sense how close they are to other plants and
in order to get more light, they give off some chemical to stop other trees from growing too close.
Whatever the reason, one thing is for sure, plants are more intelligent than people.
32. What can we know about crown shyness?
A. It can cause abrasion between trees.
B. It only happens between the same species.
C. It has been discovered for only half a century.
D. No agreement has been reached about its real cause.
33. What will happen if trees showing crown shyness are stopped from swaying?
A. The gaps between the trees will grow wider.
B. The trees will stop growing and even die.
C. The gaps between the trees will remain the same.
D. The crown shyness phenomenon will disappear.
34. What does the underlined word “mechanism” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Tip. B. Theory. C. Way. D. Plan，
35. Which statement might the Malaysian scholar agree with?
A. Some insects stop trees growing too close.
B. Trees compete with their neighbors for light.
C. Trees won't touch each other to avoid diseases.
D. Trees have special ways to attack others.

37
Humans axe social beings and we need one another. It's important to know that
the desire to be with others in a meaningful way is a real need in the same «ay food or water is. Accepting this doesn't change the reality but it can be a starting place to figure out what comes next.
Make eye contact.
38 Making intentional eye contact with a passer-by is a warm gesture. It has the power to make both parties feel a little more in touch with the rest of the human race. In an experiment, one group looked directly at people within a well-populated path and another group avoided their eye contact. 39
