21、 Worn-out tires are no good for a car, right? But they can be good for another type of transportation: walking!
In Zimbabwe, and in many other countries, old tires are not thrown away. Instead, craftsmen cut them up and make them into sandals (凉鞋). One of these craftsmen is Casper Mamutse, who runs a small sandal-making business just outside his house.
When Casper first saw a man named Isaac wearing tire sandals, he thought they looked funny. So he asked Issac where he got them. Issac said he had made them himself. Casper decided to buy a pair to make his friends laugh. But his friends didn’t laugh, instead they wanted their own. “Finally, I asked him to teach me how to make tire sandals,” says Casper.
For more than six months, Casper learned how to cut and shape soles (鞋底) from tires. To make the right size, Casper traces a shoe sole on the tire and cuts out a sole. “Cutting a tire with a knife requires as much brains as strength,” he says. “You have to use a lot of power and concentration or else you will cut your finger along with the tire.” After the sole is cut, Casper tears off the soft inside part of the tire and cut it into strips (带状物). He attaches the strips to the sole for “belts”. From one tire, Casper can make about four pairs of sandals for adults or about six pairs for kids.
The Zimbabwe countryside is full of sharp stones. Unless you have thick soles, your shoes can be easily pierced (刺穿). But strong boots are expensive, and many people walk barefoot. But now they can get tire sandals, which are strong enough and much less expensive than leather shoes.
Fedzai, a 10-year-old boy, thinks that what his friends need now are not cars to take them to school, but shoes. “Going to school on foot instead of in a car does not bother me very much,” he says. “After all, we are still moving on tires.”
【1】Why did Casper buy a pair of tire sandals at first?
A.To entertain his friends
B.To keep it as a souvenir
C.To learn the producing technique
D.To prepare for his sandal-making business.
【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Cutting soles from tires only needs power and strength.
B.Tire sandals are much stronger and more comfortable than boots.
C.It took Casper over six months to learn to make a pair of tire sandals.
D.Many people can’t afford to buy strong boots in Zimbabwe countryside.
【3】What can be the best title for the passage?
A.Special Sandals
B.Walking on Tires
C.Tire-sandals Business
D.A Journey in Zimbabwe

24、Like most tourists, I enjoy taking photographs on holiday and can’t wait to show them to my friends and family when I get back. But while for me they represent treasured memories, to others they are more often than not simply a collection of boring, badly composed, out-of-focus pictures. So this year I decided to do something about this by booking myself on a trip to Rome which included photography lessons.
The first time I went to Rome, I remember thinking that it was a fantastic place for photographers with a wonderful photo opportunity lying around every corner. Yet by myself I didn’t have a clue how to go about getting some good shots. Added to this was the fact that there were crowds of tourists everywhere, blocking all the best views. But this second time things were different. Antonio, my photography tutor, was on hand to give expert advice every step of the way. The first thing Antonio told our group was that the secret to creating a good photographic image rather than just a snapshot (快照) is to first take a long look at what you want to photograph. Our first port of call was Piazza Navona, where Antonio gave us advice about how to photograph the Fountain of Neptune. For the next couple of hours, we wandered around the historic center visiting many of Rome’s architectural highlights. I didn’t get at all tired, even though I was on my feet for such a long time. And I felt that I was really able to appreciate the sights as I had to look at each one so carefully in order to get good pictures. It felt like a whole new world had opened up to me.
I learnt an incredible amount over the next two days, as well as having a thoroughly enjoyable time in one of the world’s most beautiful cities. Maybe my friends and family will show a little more enthusiasm when I show them my holiday snaps from now on!
