1、阅读下面短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

Recently, 1. a popular song called Good morning, Longhui（《早安隆回》）has drawn wide attention from the public online. Yuan Shuxiong, its songwriter from Longhui County（县）, seems to have become famous overnight and reached the peak of his career at the age of 51 for this magic song.

His increasing popularity has brought him to the highlights of the stages of Hunan TV and CCTV and drawn much attention from the public. Subsequently（随后）, 2. all kinds of discussions about him are going up continuously. Some think he has achieved his success all by luck. This encouraging song just matches perfectly with the short videos of Lionel Messi winning the Championship in Qatar World Cup, which makes the song as well as its writer widely known to netizens. Some believe he has copied others’ works like Singing and Smiling, while others think 3. 他的成功源于多年的努力和永不放弃的精神. As early as the year of 2007, Yuan Shuxiong had already created many wonderful songs of his own, such as Bitter Coffee, Baby in Love, Love You This Way. 4. But none of them could be as popular as this one.

As a matter of fact, this 51-year-old musician once went through many “ups and downs” before becoming famous. He drifted（漂泊）for many years in different cities and even his former wife left him when he was in his darkest days. 5. 幸运的是，他克服了所有困难并最终实现梦想。Just as the proverb goes, “Chances always favor（青睐）the prepared mind.” Let’s expect him to create more great works for his fans and hometown he loves deeply!

25、   A group of swans flew down to a beach where a crow (乌鸦) was jumping around. The crow watched them with disdain (鄙视).

“You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, that’s beyond you. Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!”

One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, performed other flying tricks, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan.

Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments (评价) about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to keep himself from falling into the water.

The swan pretended (假装) not to notice, and said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick?”

“No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my life…”

26、You either have it, or you don’t—a sense of direction. But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map while others can lose themselves in the next street? 

Scientists say we’re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One theory(理论) is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don’t use it, we lose it.

“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,” says Jim Martland, research director of the project. “However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.”

Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:

If you are using a map, turn it to the way you are facing.

If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree—something easy to recognize(辩认). Note landmarks(地标) on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.

The simple way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or wells in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tall buildings or hills which can help to find out where you are.

Now you will never get lost again!

【1】Children have the ability to find the way around when they are ______ years old.

A. 5   B. 6   C. 7   D. 8

【2】Which of the following things cannot be used as landmarks?

A. Tall buildings.   B. Hills.   C. Wells.   D. Bikes.

【3】What does the underlined word “emphasize” mean in the passage?

A. To give special importance to something.   B. To express thanks for somebody.

C. To understand or realize a fact.   D. To admire somebody.

【4】Scientists believe that __________.

A. some babies are born with a sense of direction

B. people learn a sense of direction as they grow older

C. people never lose their sense of direction

D. everybody has a sense of direction from birth

【5】What may be the best title of the passage?

A. A research on direction.   B. The sense of direction.

C. People’s ability of finding the way.   D. Scientists’ research on skills.
