26、Ai-Petri Bridges, Crimea
The views of the Crimean coast from the top of 1,234-metre high Ai-Petri Mount are amazing. The hanging bridges built in recent years can reach the top of the mount. If just walking across the bridges is not dangerous enough, it also happens to be one of the windiest places in the world. It is said that the bridges blow from side to side as wind speeds reach 170 kilometres per hour for 125 days of the year. It’s also very foggy, so you may not be able to see clearly!
U Bein Bridge, Myanmar
This five-metre-high, 1.2-kilometre wooden footbridge does not look as dangerous as the others, but do not be fooled. It was built in the 1850s and it’s certainly feeling its age! Some of the old wood is not as strong as it used to be. It is easy to lose your footing. Although there is no handrail (栏杆), large numbers of tourists cross it every day. When the tourists arrive in the evening to watch the beautiful sunset, this bridge could become the most dangerous of them all!
The Trift Bridge, Switzerland
At 100 metres high and 170 metres long, this is one of the highest bridges in the world. Built in 2004, the bridge is hidden among the high Swiss Alps. You wouldn’t have wanted to walk across the bridge before its repair in 2009. But if you have the courage to cross this bridge, you’d better do it quickly!
The Hussaini Hanging Bridge, Pakistan
In the mountainous area of Northern Pakistan, the Hussaini Hanging Bridge helps travelers cross the Borit Lake. However, you will not feel too confident when you get close to this bridge. It’s one of the oldest bridges in Pakistan and many locals use it every day to travel to work and school — imagine losing your homework over the side of this bridge! It’s made from rope, with a few pieces of wood that have large gaps (空隙) between them. Step carefully!
【1】What can we learn about U Bein Bridge?
A．It’s very popular at sunset.

27、 Bangkok has become the world's top tourist destination, with 15.98 million visitors projected to visit Thailand's capital city this year, according to the third annual Global Destination Cities Index released by MasterCard on Monday. Based on data MasterCard collected from governments, central banks, related public agencies and airlines to far this year, the projection for the entire year says Bangkok is surpassing London, the previous holder of the top place, by a very narrow margin.
Monday's report marked the first time an Asian city has been projected to be the top-ranked tourist destination. London came in second, with 15.96 million visitors expected in 2013, and Paris, third, with 13.92 million visitors. MasterCard looked at 132 cities.

Tokyo at number 16, with 5.8 million visitors, and Taipei, with 5.19 million visitors.
The study found that Bangkok is experiencing a large increase in its number of tourists in 2013, up 9.8% from 2009. That compares to New York's increase at 5.0% and London's at 3.8%. Paris, meanwhile, saw a small dip in its number of tourists (negative 0.7%).
Caroline Liedo, who was visiting Bangkok from France, said Thailand has many offerings. "We like culture and the people are so nice. We also love shopping here," Ms. Liedo said.

28、I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened. Looking down，I immediately recognized that something was wrong，and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Ma Sha with her three¬ month¬ old calf struggling in the fast rising water，and it was a life and death struggle. Her calf was floating and screaming with fear. Ma Sha was as near to the far bank as she could get，holding her whole body against the rushing water，and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away.
There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean （完全地）over the mother's body and was gone. Ma Sha turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk (象鼻) against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort，she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.
Just at this moment，she fell back into the river. If she were carried down，it would be certain death. I knew，as well as she did，that there was one spot (地点) where she could get up the bank，but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf.
While I was wondering what I could do next，I heard the sound of a mother's love. Ma Sha had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could，roaring (吼叫) all the time，but to her calf it was music.

29、 Back in East LA the years passed slowly. The generous man kept to life much as usual-taking evening strolls, whistling rap tunes, answering his door.
One day in particular, his doorbell rang, and there stood a finely dressed young gentleman in a three piece suit. "Uh oh," the man thought. "Jehovah's Witness." But before he could do anything, his guest spoke.
“You're the rich man，aren't you？”his guest asked.
“What can I do for you？"the man responded automatically，so accustomed to being asked for things.
“It is not what you can do for me，"answered his guest. "But what you have already done. ”
"“What have I done for you？" the man asked in surprise.
“You've given me a second chance at life. Why，with your generous gift，I was able to invest the money and pull myself out of my poverty. I no longer wallow in the grime and gutters，but I walk along crowded sidewalks with my head held high. I have you to thank for that. "
Suddenly，the man recognized his guest. It was the old bum（流浪汉）who'd been lying in the street. The man replied，"What I gave you，you did not ask for. I gave it simply because I saw you there and loved you. I would have given it to anyone in your position. ”
"All the more reason to come and thank you，"his guest said.
"But I am rich，"replied the man. I have many gifts to give. I don't expect anything in return. ”
"Good，"his guest said with a nod. “Because I don't have anything to offer in return. Whatever I have, you gave to me. All I wanted to do was come and thank you. "
The man stared as his guest reached out and took him into an embrace. It was the same gesture the man had so often offered to those at his door, yet this was the first time someone had offered it back.
Tears filled the man's eyes as his guest, a lowly bum off the street, held him in the most satisfying embrace he had ever received.
【1】The rich man helped the gentleman by ____________.
A. encouraging him to cheer up B. offering him an embrace
C. donating some money to him D. investing money to his business

A. he had nothing that the rich man liked
B. the rich man was the real owner of his wealth
C. he was not rich enough to give the rich man anything
D. he didn't think the rich man needed any material rewards
【3】What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The rich man has never had a satisfying embrace.
B. The rich man often helps others without asking for reward.
C. The gentleman once asked the rich man for help.
D. The gentleman met the rich man twice at the same place.
【4】Which of the following does the rich man most probably agree with?
A. As a man sows, so he shall reap.
B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. A drop of favor is repaid with a fountain of return.
D. Help, just lift a finger and thanks are significant.
