From the month of June to August every year, giant turtles（大海龟）come ashore（向岸上）to lay eggs. They appear only late at night to lay their eggs in holes which they dig with their hind flippers（鳍状肢）.When they have finished laying their eggs, they fill up the holes with sand and return to the sea. The mother turtles never see their babies. The hot sun keeps the eggs warm until they hatch（孵化）. Once hatched, the baby turtles will crawl back to the sea to begin their new lives. In the past, many people came to dig up the eggs after the mother turtles had left. They brought the eggs to town to sell. Since 1962, the Malaysian government has built high fences（篱笆）around the nurseries（育卵场）to control the digging and sale of eggs for fear that the giant turtles may become extinct（灭绝）.21.

Later, the organist（风琴手）of the church he attended taught him how to play the piano, organ and violin. He started schooling at the age of eleven and had daily music lessons in school. He spent so much time on his music that he neglected（忽略）the rest of the subjects. His father was unhappy as he did not want Franz Schubert to take up music as a career（职业）. However, Franz Schubert did just that because of his love for music. Throughout his life, Franz Schubert never gave up his interest in music. Even when he was very sick, he was still composing. His last group of songs got the title “Swan-Song” after his death.26.

This is known as the monsoon season（季雨期）; the time of the year when wind blows over the country from the Indian Ocean, bringing rain for the land. Without the rain, their crops will not grow and there will not be enough food to feed the large population. In India, the fertile（肥沃的）areas are in the north and northwest, including the area known as Punjab. Punjab is referred to as the “breadbasket of India” because much of the country’s wheat is produced there. In 1987, the rain did not come at the expected time to Punjab. That summer was unusually hot and people could not get on with their farming. They felt desperate（艰难的）since the seeds that they had planted could not grow without rain. They knew there would be no harvest that year. They and their cattle（牲口）would have no food to eat.As a result of the drought, some of the farmers left their farmland and moved to another district（区域）where they hoped to find work.31.

Their thick jackets may keep their bodies warm but their necks are exposed（暴露）to the cold wind. Because of that, many of them wear woollen scarves round their necks. A cowboy wears a scarf too but he calls it a bandanna. It looks like a handkerchief and is usually brightly-coloured. It has many uses. In summer, the cowboy’s bandanna stops tiny insects（小昆虫）from getting inside his collar（领子）. When he rides his horse and dust starts flying, he covers his mouth and nose with the bandanna. It keeps most of the dust out of his mouth and nose. In winter, the bandanna keeps his neck warm.When the wind is strong, the cowboy uses the bandanna to tie his hat to his head. When night falls and he is in the field, the bandanna also comes in handy. He uses it to tie his horse’s feet together. In this way, he can have a peacefu l（安静的）night of rest knowing that his horse cannot run away.36. People usually wear scarves____________ ．37.
