In 1972, Richard Sears, a young American began learning Chinese because of his interest in traditional Chinese culture. Drawn to the ancient language, he went to China to study Chinese in the 1990s.

In 1994. Richard Sears decided to put the ancient Chinese characters online. Then. in 2002, he did it. That is the beginning of the Chinese Etymology (汉字字源) website. My website did not get much attention for the next few years. Until one day in 2011, it suddenly got a lot of attention. I got a few thousand emails, and a few million visitors and people started calling me "Uncle Hanzi," Sears said with a smile. Hanzi means Chinese characters. He has put more than 96, 000 ancient Chinese characters onto the website. "When I study each character. I wonder what the ancient Chinese thought,"said Sears.

After visiting many Chinese cities, Sears learned more about China and ancient Chinese culture. He said when he came to China in the last century, few Chinese could speak good English. "However, you can hear English in many places in China now. Chinese language and culture were mysterious and not known by people in most countries then, but now, more and more people in the world are learning Chinese, even Chinese history, traditional Chinese medicine and so on," Sears added.

At present, the 70-year-old American has made his home in China. "When I die, I hope my website will live on, and I'm planning to write a book about my research. This will be my gift to

China." he said.

19. What does "Drawn to the ancient language" mean in Paragraph 1?

①My dear boys and girls, good morning. Today I'm going to talk to you about my understanding of learning history.

②Many of you may think it is a terrible thing to study history. You may often wonder why we students should study something that has nothing to do with our own lives. If you think that way, I should say you are far from the truth.

③In fact, if we study history, we can learn quite a lot about personal stories and events(事件) of people just like us. The people who came before us helped build and develop the country we are living in. Their ideas often solved many of our problems and troubles. Studying the past helps us to understand what our ancestors'(祖先) lives were like. And it also helps us to see how their experiences have shaped our own life.

④To be honest, ______▲_______. Some,of what we study in history helps us understand the mistakes of the past. And these mistakes will help people not to do the same wrong things. People often learn from the past to have a better future.

⑤Whether we like the subject of history or not, we must understand the importance of the events and the people who came before us. Our ancestors' decisions have influenced our own life. Similarly, the decisions of our own generation(一代人) will finally influence those who come after

us. In this only way, the world is truly connected.

⑥History is not just a study of the past. History is the study of people, places and events that can influence the future.

⑦Now do you still think studying history is a sad thing? Or do you have any doubt about learning history? If you have any question, just feel free to ask.

These days I find that mail delivery (投递) is a little different. I got a notice of my mail's arrival through email from a friend of mine. I went to the mailbox after the time the mail usually arrived. Nothing, but my neighbors' mail. I thought that was unusual.

I decided to take my neighbors' mail to them. I was going to put the mail in their mailbox when a tall man came and shouted at me, "Hey! What are you doing?" He snatched(夺取)the mail from my hand, opened the mailbox and pointed inside. "You were a thief(小偷)！"

I shook my head, "No, believe me. I got this mail by mistake in my box today. I was just bringing it to them. I got this mail by mistake in my box today." He gave me a funny look with uncertainty and went back into his house.

I got the knock on the door the next morning by two police officers. The angry tall man had phoned the police and told them I was a crazy old woman going around mixing up everyone's mail. Before I could finish telling them about what was going on, the officers had watched a dog coming near my mailbox with mail in his mouth. He took out the mail that was in my box and put letters in. He pushed the door closed with his nose, picked up the new pile of mail he had got from my box, and repeated this all the way down the next street. We all started laughing.

The dog had belonged to a postman who had died. No one thought to check on the man's dog (the postman lived alone). It had been trained to put the mail in and take mail out of the boxes. After his owner died, he was left alone, but he still carried on with his duties.

I went by to talk to the tall man to describe what had happened. He was very pleased when he realized I was not a mail thief. He did, however, adopt(领养)the little guy.

27. What did the writer find in her mailbox?

A. Nothing.

B. Her friend's mail.

C. Some notices.

D. Her neighbor's mail.

28. Why did the tall man shout at the writer?

A. He thought the writer stole his mail.

B. He didn't like the writer at all.

C. The writer was a crazy old woman.

D. The writer opened his mailbox first.

29. Why did the policeman come to the writer's home?

A. To search the dog.

B. To talk with the writer.

C. To check the mailbox.

D. To punish the tall man.

30. How did the policemen discover the truth?

A. By following the dog everywhere.

B. By talking to the writer directly.

C. By watching the dog sending mails.

D. By phoning the tall man the next day.

31. What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 3 refer to?

It refers to the______________________________________.

32. Who finally owned the dog? It finally belongs to_______________________.

33. What's the main idea of the story?(不超过 40词)

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
