12、the stair. She didnt hear me properly. “There is a what?” she shouted back. “Youve found a chair in the house?” I cleared my throat and said again, as calmly as possible, “I think there is a bear in the house.” If there is a world speed record for repacking a backpack and leaving a building, Annabel

13、 must be a competitor, for we were outside the building within seconds.Annabel and I had already spent three days walking 80 kilometers over the mountains from the Pacific. We were in Canadas Yukon Territory, heading towards Car cross, on the shore of Lake Bennett. Here our boat was waiting where we

14、 had left it the week before. Our plan then was to boat down the 3,000 kilometers of Yukon River to the Bering Sea.On this day, we were walking the last 48 kilometers towards Car cross, following a disused railway line. You had to keep an eye out for black bears, whose presence was obvious from the

15、huge piles of dung(粪便)that littered the tracks.As the day drew on, we started to look for somewhere to sleep. We finally found an old railway building, which looked as if it might keep us safe from bears. Though the windows and doors had large scratch and chew marks, they were covered with boards an

16、d looked safe. Annabel went upstairs and started to unpack and settle in while I looked around downstairs.I was moving around in what was once clearly a kitchen, when, from out of a darkened doorway that I took to the storeroom, came a soft but unusual deep moan(呻吟). My curiosity raised, I started t

17、o walk towards the slightly opne door. I was halfway across the room when a low rough sound came out of the darkness and the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. My natural ability was to ruin. I backed out of the room, my eyes staring at the dark doorway. We thought it might be a better idea to s

18、pend the night elsewhere.We got up early in our small tent in the morning. The nights sleep had been all right except when a little troubled by dreams of bears. But our mood rose with the sun. We were walking along, relaxing with each step and looking forward to a big lunch at Car cross.Crossing a s

19、mall wooden bridge, we left the rail tracks to have a drink. As we returned, Annabel cried out “Stop!” Looking up, I saw a familiar black shape behind us: another black bear was following us, moving up slowly from behind, and then disappearing rapidly into the trees when we turned to face it. How lo

20、ng it had been following us, we could not say.25. What can you know from the first paragraph?A. Annabel set a world speed record.B. The author was calmer than Annabel.C.

22、y a safe place to play and sleep in.D. A rough sound could be heard from the kitchen.CNowadays, especially in China, everything seems to favor social intercourse, such as gatherings of friends, KTV, group travel, dining tighter, playing cards and Mahjong, plus the Chinese-style “street-crossing grou

23、p.” Back home, discussions can still be boisterously carried on within the “circle of friends” of WeChat.However, these scenes cannot always ease a sense of loneliness. Zhu Ziqing, a well-known professor of Tsinghua University, signed with emotion: “My loneliness increases as scene becomes much busi

24、er.” One popular song today is also called “A lonely man in crowds.” Actually, engaging in social intercourse requires ability, while being alone involves the whole character.These days, it is not easy to calm down totally and return to ones true self. Willpower, intellect and discipline are require

25、d. Einstein said: “It is not your working time but your spare time that determines the possibility of whether you will be successful or not.” The “spare time” he referred to could be taken as “spending time by yourself.”Lonely life could be either dull, boring and tasteless or abundant, interesting

26、and colorful, depending on ones quality, ambition and inspiration.Just as the body constantly requires energy, the mind and soul also demand unceasing inputs. However, information, to processed and integrated(融入)into knowledge, thoughts and feelings, instead of bustle(忙碌)seems to be the right condit

27、ion. Successful careers in all walks of life worldwide have proved that “the soul grows in peace and talent is nurtured in loneliness”.

31、ctice Your Social AbilityD Aging brings wrinkles, sagging bodies and frustrating forgetfulness. But getting older is not all bad for many people. Mounting evidence suggests aging may be a key to happiness. There is conflicting research on the subject, however, and experts say it may all boil down to

32、 this: Attitude is everything.Older adults tend to be more optimistic and have a more positive outlook on life than their younger and stressed opposites. The big question is why seniors are happier. A recent study suggests one reason: Older adults remember the past through happy memories. Aging can bring more cheer as people become more comfortable with themselves and their roles in society. The older adults said they were enjoying more time with their family, spending more time on hobbies and having
