27、Recordings (录音) of angry bees are enough to send big, tough African elephants running away, a new study says. Beehives (蜂窝) either recorded or real may even prevent elephants from damaging farmer’s crops.
Years ago, scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them. Today, Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might stop elephants from eating crops. But before she asked farmers to set up beehives on their farms, she needed to find out if the bees would frighten elephants away.
Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern Kenya and set up a recorder. Then she threw a stone into the beehive, which burst into life. Lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees had calmed down. Next, Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya and put a speaker in a tree close to each family.
From a distance, Lucy turned on the pre-recorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera. Half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds. Out of a total of 17 groups, only one group didn’t react to the sound of the angry bees. Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them. When Lucy played the sound of a waterfall (瀑布) instead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families, the animals were undisturbed. Even after four minutes, most of the groups stayed in one place.
Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the sound of angry bees after hearing it several times. She hasn’t tested enough groups yet to know and she has now begun placing speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away.
【1】Why did Lucy throw a stone into a wild beehive?
A．To record the sound of angry bees.
B．To make a video of elephants.
C．To see if elephants would run away.
D．To find out more about the behavior of bees.
【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

【3】According to the passage, Lucy ________.
A．works by herself in Africa
B．needs to test more elephant groups
C．has stopped elephants eating crops
D．has got farmers to set up beehives on their farms
【4】What can be the title of the passage?
A．Bees are the King of the Forest
B．How to Keep Elephants Away
C．Don’t Get Close to Angry Bees
D．Angry Bees Frighten Big Elephants Away
28、Music will not earn an income unless it is well marketed. No matter how good you are at songwriting, composing music, playing instruments and everything on the creative side of music, you will never earn money without marketing it to your customers.
Let’s look at the steps in marketing and apply (应用) it to the online business world to make an effective marketing plan for your music.
Find out customer’s need
Before you can discover, you need to make it clear who your customers are, by answering the following questions:
First, what industry do your customers belong to? For example, if you are a music producer, your customers will most likely be recording companies.
Second, what field are you in? Music is broad; you need to specialize. Are you a rock songwriter, a pop producer or a jazz musician?
You then need to judge your customer’s need by examining those things already commonly accepted in the marketplace: the lyrics and melodies that are popular.
In this stage, you should examine your competitors by visiting their websites to learn from them. What is done by your competitors in the marketplace (where your business belongs) is most likely to meet your customer’s need.
Predict customer’s need
What you have to predict are the things that even your competitors may not have realized. These can be discovered by doing a survey or interviewing your customers. For example, you need to ask them directly, “What things are you looking for in a music publisher? When you are searching for music online, what would be the best presentation of music material to make you interested?”
Now that you have known what your customers expect from your music, you need to write your music with the goal of meeting their expectations. This time your marketing efforts will most likely pay off.
【1】We can learn from the first paragraph that________.
A．musicians usually have little income
B．music won’t be popular if it is too creative
C．to earn money musicians have to give up the creative side of music
D．it is not enough to only have good music if musicians want to earn money
【2】To find out customer’s need, you have to________.
A．interview a music producer
B．join a recording company
C．decide the kind of music you will make
D．listen to popular songs in all fields
【3】What is the best title to be put in the blank?
A．Change the customers’ attitudes.
B．Admit your own style.
C．Meet the customers’ need.
D．Try to get in touch with the customers.
【4】Who are most likely to be interested in the passage?
A．Famous musicians.
B．Recording companies.
C．Managers of big companies selling music instruments
D．Music-makers expecting to earn money.
29、5 Birthday Traditions from Around the World
The Western idea of celebrating a birthday with cake and candles has certainly caught on in other parts of the world, but many cultures have long-standing traditional ways to celebrate that don’t involve a sugar rush. 【1】
Many of them are more traditional and unbelievable than a reality, but if you happen to be in Germany and see a group of men with a broom on the steps of city hall, you’ll at least know what they’re doing.
1. Canada: Nose Grease
On the Atlantic side of Canada, birthday boys and girls are sometimes “attacked” and their noses are greased(涂抹), usually with butter, to ward off bad luck. 【2】
“It was good luck as much as torture(折磨) as I remember it.” We would imagine so!
2. China: Long Noodles for Longevity
Chinese birthday tradition maintains that one should symbolize their longevity by eating a plate of long noodles often mixed with fried eggs. 【3】
3. Germany: 【4】
When single men in Germany turn 30, an old tradition is for them to sweep the steps of their local city hall as their friends toss rubble onto them. The ordeal, meant to embarrass, is supposed to carry on until the birthday boy is able to plant one on a passing woman. Also, as this author personally found out recently, you buy the drinks for your friends on your birthday, unlike in the States where it is the other way around.
4. Ireland: Hit the Deck
Think the Irish had a few when coming up with this one? Tradition maintains that a child is held upside down and is “bumped” (举放) on the floor, once for every year of their age plus one for good luck. 【5】
5. Jamaica: Modern Day Antiquing
Just like that one friend you had in college, Jamaicans think pouring flour onto their friends is fun. Regardless of age, tradition calls for the birthday boy or girl to be “antiqued,” or covered with flour, by friends and family, either at an organized party or as part of a surprise.
A．Giving the City Hall a thorough cleaning
B．Sweeping the Streets of the City Hall
C．It is believed that in Pictou “the butter got worse as you got older”.
D．Everyone present hopes to become lucky by sharing the noodles.
E．It is really dangerous for a child to be lifted in such a way.
F．We’re guessing lawyers would have something to say about this in the United States!
G．Obviously, the practices found in the list below are not entirely representative of the preferences of every household or individual.
30、Every Christmas, we get “The Box” from my uncle, who owns a local sporting goods store. He _______ uniforms to the sports teams and does T-shirt printing for parties. Every Christmas, instead of _______, he sends us the rejects(废品)from his shop.
