28、This beautiful, quiet place is covered in sunshine and has mountains all around it. Its name is Machu Picchu. It lies on top of a mountain, 8,000 feet in the tropical forest. Even in the rain and fog, it’s wonderful to walk through the ruins (废墟).
Machu Picchu is more than 500 years old. According to scholars, Machu Picchu was built for the Inca king around 1450. In the late 1800s, explorers like Antonio crossed the grounds of the ruins without knowing where he was. Machu Picchu became known to the world upon the 1911 arrival of Hiram Bingham. In 1983, Machu Picchu was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Machu Picchu is considered by many to be the most wonderful creation of the Inca Empire. It’s also full of cultural significance (意义). Its various sites and castles are connected with each other and with their environment. This is a great artistic achievement and also masterpiece of architecture.

Currently, Machu Picchu is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the New World; this promotes increased tourism in the area. Tourists of all nationalities travel to Peru with the intention of visiting the Lost City of the Incas. Machu Picchu is no longer quiet.

29、Physical education(体育), or PE, isn’t required for all high school students. In some schools, it isn’t offered for some different reasons. But should high school students receive physical education? The answer is certainly “Yes.”
Today many people don’t do sports. But as is known to all, doing sports is very important for an adult. Teaching teens the importance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now can help teens put exercise in the first place as an adult.
The American Heart Association says that 10 million kids and teens suffer from obesity(肥胖症). The increase in activities that don’t get teens to move around, such as computer games, means many teens don’t get their required exercise. PE classes act as a public health measure to encourage physical activities and help teens have healthy weights.
Not doing sports increases teens’ hazard of developing many diseases. An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems. As much as 75 percent of health-care spending goes toward treating medical conditions that can be prevented by lifestyle changes, according to the American College of Sports Medicine.
According to the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition (PCFSN), students who performed five hours of physical activity each week improved their academic(学业的)performance. Students from programs with no physical activity, who used the extra time for classroom study, did not perform better on tests than those who gave up some study time in support of physical education.

32、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
In low spirits I watched the workers packing things into our space vehicle(交通工具). It was too bad that we had to move to Mars. I was hoping to get a puppy(小狗)this summer, not a one-way ticket to a planet of red rocks.
“I know you’re disappointed, Cassie,” Mom said. “But I’ve been offered my dream job. And the rocket is first-class. We can travel to Mars in eight days instead of eight months. We’ll come back-finally.”
As Mom went to answer a worker’s question, I sat and pulled grass from the ground. There was no grass on Mars, I thought. Or flowers. Or animals. There’s almost nothing alive on that red wasteland! If only Mom wasn’t an aeronautical(航空)engineer and Dad wasn’t a climatologist(气象学家). If they were zoologists, we could stay on Earth and hang out with animals!
Mom called, saying the vehicle was ready for launch. I walked slowly behind my parents. If only I had a puppy, then maybe moving to Mars wouldn’t feel so awful.
The flight was fast! Soon we reached the red planet. Several of my parents’ scientist friends welcomed us to space. We took a quick tour of the laboratories and everyone talked about things I didn’t understand. Then, we paused at a door. Everyone stopped speaking and looked at me. Mom touched a button on the wall.
