After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog's legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were useless to the villagers. What they had to do was to catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn't last long.The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well.More worry was that the children fell ill more often, and there seemed to be more insects around lately.The villagers decided that they couldn't just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides (杀剂) and medicine. Soon there was no money left.Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn't been useless. They had been doing an important job- eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.Now, the people e are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.34. From Paragraph l, we learn that the villagers_______.A. worked very hard for centuriesB. dreamed of having a better lifeC. were poor but somewhat happyD. lived a different life from their forefathers35. Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?A. The frogs were easy money.B. They needed money to buy medicine.C. They wanted to please the visitors.D. The frogs made too much noise.36. What might be the cause of the children's sickness?A. The crops didn't do well.B. There were too many insects.C. The visitors brought in diseases.D. The pesticides were overused.37. What can we infer from the last sentence of the text?A. Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country.B. Health is more important than money.C. The harmony between man and nature is important.D. Good old days will never be forgotten.CHave you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You turned around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you!Parapsychologists (灵学家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether such a “sixth sense”really exists, Robert Baker, apsychologist (心理学家) at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments.In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects（受试者）were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later, when he questioned the subjects, almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them.For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they weren’t. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren’t.Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they’re being stared at. If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments, said Baker, “I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.”38. The aim of the two experiments is to________.A. explain when people can have a sixth senseB. show how people act while being watched in the labC. study whether humans can sense when they are stared atD. prove why humans have a sixth sense39. The underlined word “outcome” in the last paragraph most probably means________.A. valueB. resultC. performanceD. connection40. In the second experiment, the subjects _________.A. could tell when they were stared at and when they weren’t.B. could tell when they were stared at but couldn’t tell when they weren’t.C. couldn’t tell when they were stared at but could tell when they weren’t.D. couldn’t tell when they were stared at or when they weren’t.41. What can be learned from the passage?A. People are born with a sixth sense.B. The experiments support parapsychologists’ idea.C. The subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments.D. People have a sixth sense in all places.DSummer Term in the School of Life will start on Friday 25 January 2015, in Collingwood, Melbourne, Australia and will become the first international school to open its doors.To make everyday life rich, the writer Alain de Botton has worked hard at getting the best ideas and the School of Life is his brainchild（构想).
