In 1971, readers around the world were astonished by some photographs which appeared in newspapers. Hidden deep in the rainforest
s of an island in the Philippines, was an ethnic (种族的) 36 called the Tasaday. Not until that moment did anyone have any 37 of these people. They didn’t have an agricultural economy; they hun
ted animals and 38 fruit from the plants in the rainforest. They carried tools made of
stone, lived in 39 and wore clothes made of leaves. Unknown until 1971, they 40 became world famous. After that, there were TV 41 and books about them; people said their simple lives showed that human beings could be good and kind if they were not 42 by modern life. Then after 1974 the region was closed by the government and the world 43 about them.
In 1986, a Swiss journalist, Oswald Iten, decided to visit the Tasaday. The journey 44 thick rainforests and across rivers was hard and dangerous. Mr. Iten was 45 killed by the soldiers, villagers and businessmen who wanted to take the wood from the rainforest. Finally, Mr. Iten 46 and found the caves of the Tasaday 47 . The people were living in nearby huts and they were all 48 jeans and T-shirts, not leaves. He thought that perhaps they were not an ethnic minority 49 .
When he 50 to Switzerland, Mr. Iten wrote about the Tasaday people in the newspapers. He said he thought that they were just ordinary farmers, poor, but not 51 from anyone else. He believed that in 1971, the government told “the Tasaday” to 52 they were native people from thousands of years ago, so that tourists---and money---would start 53 into the region.
One group of experts said that they really were people who had no 54 with modern life before 1971; another group said they were just 55 the part. So who are these people, really? Perhaps we’ll never really be sure.

When we talk about a bad man, we like to call him a “wolf”. But is it really true that the wolf stands for devil and ugliness？
Have you read the book “The Wolf Totem” by a famous writer Jiang Rong, which tells the story of the relationship between wolves and human beings? Have you ever 36 the wolves' world? If you had, you would 37 the wolves.
In the book, wolves are heroes on the large grassland. They know more about 38 than humans. They can attack lambs without disturbing their mothers. They also know how to 39 full use of the shape of land to 40 sheep. I believe that if wolves were humans, they would be 41 experts good at fighting.
The wolf is a kind of special creature that can deeply understand 42 . Each wolf serves its group with its heart and soul. A 43 wolf has little power, but a pack of wolves 44 nothing. All the wolves obey the rules. 45 they are defeated, they run away together. It is their teamwork 46 makes wolves powerful.
The wolves also have great self-respect and won't 47 to anyone. The writer, who wrote the book “The Wolf Totem”, 48 stole a one-month-old baby wolf and raised it very carefully. To his 49 , he found the little wolf still wanted to go back with 50 wolves. He bit through the iron chain that limited him. The wolf was 51 and he never gave in, fighting 52 his death. The little wolf died as a glorious fighter.
I was shocked by this kind of 53 : wolves are one of the most respected creatures on earth. I want everyone to look at wolves in a 54 way. They are our teachers. They show us how to survive and 55 in this not simple and dangerous world. Please honor the wolves, please honor all these heroes of nature!

Nine 1700yearold brick tombs have been discovered in northwest China’s Xinjiang. Experts say that they can 1 valuable clues for the research of exchanges(交换；交流) between the central Chinese government at that time and ___2 Western Regions.
It is the 3 time ancient tombs with typical characteristics of China's
main Han nationality have been found in the Uygur ethnic region(自治区)．
4 from Beijing，Shanxi and Xinjiang concluded that the tombs were ___5___ between the middle and late third century and fourth century.
The tombs were unearthed during the 6 of a road earlier this year in Kuqa county,740 km from Xinjiang's capital Urumqi and part of the 7 Qiuci State. Qiuci State，which 8 between the second century BC and 860 AD，was one of the 36 states in the Western Regions.
The tombs would help archaeologists with research into the political，economic and cultural 9 between the Central Plains government and states in the west，and on the cultural 10 of the Central Plains on the Western Regions.
Archaeologists from the Xinjiang institute have dug nine tombs since August 22，___11 bodies of more than 30 people，some ancient 12 and more than 60 pottery(陶器)jars. It is thought there are another three tombs to be 13 .
The people buried in the tombs were 14 either people from the western regions deeply influenced by the Han culture or the Han residents(居民)in the ___15 .
Do you think that a universal language will emerge within the next century? English is 51 the lingua franca in many parts of the world, and is the best language currently to know 52 business and science, 53 I don’t think English will 54 become a universal language. I think that if a language becomes the world language, it should be an artificial one. 55 , it might seem to many as an effort to 56 a certain cultural group. The 57 with a universal language is how to 58 it, and how to get the governments of the world to agree 59 its implementation.
If this were to happen, the international language would be the 60 second language of all countries, and legally it would still play second fiddle to the current language of that country. It could allow different tribes in Africa to communicate, or 61 communication between small villages in India that each speaks different languages. Not to 62 it would mean that one would only have to learn two languages no matter 63 in the world he travels.
What 64 specifics—what writing 65 should it use? Where should its words come from? Should the language be highly inflected or very analytical? And furthermore, how will the language be established?

How to Be Polite at a Dinner Party?
It’s not polite to arrive at a dinner more than 15 to 20 minutes late. The host or hostess usually waits for all the 21 to arrive before serving the meal. If someone is late，the food may be spoiled(变味)，and 22 may the host or hostess’ spirits．If you have to be 23 ， call and tell them to start 24 you．
It’s even worse to be early! The host or hostess will probably not be 25 ．If you are early，drive or walk around the block a few times，or just sit in your car until the right time．
Though it’s often 26 to arrive at a party on time，on the other hand，the host or hostess 27 guests to arrive and leave between certain times，so you can 28 at any time between the times he or she gives you．
It’s nice to bring an empty stomach，but it’s even nicer to bring 29 present．The present should not cost a lot，or you might make the host or hostess 30 ．Flowers，wine，or a box of candy will be fine． 31 bring money as a present．In an introduction，the 32 of a name is：(1)the given name；(2)the family name．In other 33 ，the given name comes 34 . It’s important not only to learn and remember 35 ，but to repeat them often in conversation．After the introduction，we usually call friends by their 36 names．Older people may want you to call them by their titles and family names，such as “Mrs. Smith”，“Mr. Johnosn”，“Dr .Brown”.
A maiden(闺女)name is a 37 family name at birth. In the United States and Canada，after a woman 38 ，she takes the family name of her 39 in place of her maiden name．It is now becoming common，however，for women to 40 their maiden names after they get married,

What is intelligence （智力） anyway? When I was in the army I 21 an intelligence test that all soldiers took, and, against 22 of 100, scored 160.
I had an auto-repair man once, who, on these intelligence tests, could not 23 have scored more than 80. 24 , when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him—and he always 25 it.
Well, then suppose my auto-repair man 26 questions for some intelligence test. By every one of them I'd prove myself a 27 . In a world where I have to work with my 28 , I'd do poorly.
Consider my auto-repair man 29 . He had a habit of telling 30 . One time he said, “Doc, a deaf-and-dumb（聋哑） man 31 some nails.
