My family has a tradition of holding garage sales (旧货出售). On a Saturday afternoon back in 2002, just when my aunt Lorraine was starting to pack up, I discovered my very own treasure — a pair of black boots. Although they weren’t anything fashionable, they caught my eye. Plus they were only two dollars. She noticed me eyeing them up and said I could have them for fifty cents.

Even better! I thought to myself as I pulled them on. They were the perfect fit.

When I handed over the money little did I know that these boots would accompany me on some of my greatest adventures. Each year I make a journey overseas and that year, I was making arrangements to visit Helsinki (the capital of Finland), so naturally, I packed the boots. It was winter, but the boots protected my feet from the cold weather. I wore them everywhere. The boots even accompanied me as I walked through the night to find live music. I felt right at home among old friends.

In 2009, I went to Aunt Lorraine’s home to attend my cousin Jason’s birthday party. While we were talking, Jason stared at my boots.

He asked, “Where did you get those boots?”

“I bought them at your family’s garage sale,” I responded.

Jason flew into a rage. “Mum! You sold my boots? I bought them in Milan and I’ve worn them through New York, London, Berlin and Paris,” he shouted.

After a silence, however, he laughed and said, “Thanks a lot, Mum!” We spent the rest of the evening sharing memories of the journeys we’d both had wearing the same pair of boots.

The boots are no longer fit for wear, but I have held on to them as a memento (纪念物) of the last decade, the places we have walked and the memories we now share.

24. The author bought the boots_______.

A. from his cousin B. at the price of $2

C. without hesitation D. for his adventurous trips

25. The underlined phrase “flew into a rage” means Jason felt_______.

A. Jason felt surprised B. Jason felt angry

C. Jason felt worried D. Jason felt confused

26. Jason said thanks to his mother because_______.

A. he didn’t want the boots any more

B. it was she who bought him the boots

C. he couldn’t travel worldwide without her

D. he could share common memories with the author

27. What would be the best title for the text?

A. Sweet memories. B. A family tradition.

C. My beloved boots. D. My great adventures.

On the banks of Tanzania’s Lake Eyasi lives the world’s last hunter-gatherer tribe (部落) — the Hadza.?They don’t grow food, raise animals or build houses.?Instead they live a life unchanged for more than ten thousand years.

Their world is one of complete freedom — something modern society can barely imagine and is unlikely to ever experience, let alone have the skills to stay alive. Text messages and phone calls don’t exist. Nor do cars and electricity. No jobs, timetables, and social structures. No laws, taxes and unbelievably, no money — the closest thing to currency (交易，流通) is the trade for a pair of shorts with a neighboring tribe.

We spent our time with the Hadza hunting baboons (狒狒), a daily activity for the men. Their land is packed with sharp bushes, poisonous snakes and man-eating lions. But a successful hunting trip is the difference between eating or going hungry.?

The Hadza diet consists mainly of honey, fruit and meat. Men often hunt in pairs to shoot animals with bows and arrows. The Hadza show us how to track animals, from baboons to snakes to lions. They are hugely skilled with their handmade bows and arrows — we have a go and barely get the arrow to go three feet in front of us.

The language of the Hadza is believed to be the oldest still-spoken language known to man. The Hadza don’t have conflict, and have no memory of starvation. Their population never reaches numbers that cannot be supported through hunting or gathering.?They never get from their land more than they need.

Unlike modern-day office workers, the Hadza enjoy an extraordinary amount of free time. Their “work” — hunting for food — takes up around five hours of their day. They’ve been in such a state of peaceful existence for thousands of years.

28. We can learn from the text that the Hadza_______.

A. lead a very primitive (原始) life

B. live on traditional(传统) agriculture

C. have their own system of currency（流通）

D. show a lot of interest in new technology

29. Which of the following can describe the Hadza’s environment?

A. Stressful. B. Comfortable. C. Exciting. D. Dangerous.

30. The relationship between the Hadza and nature_______.

A. is going wrong B. is full of conflict

C. is in perfect
