Long bus rides are like television shows.They have a beginning,a middle,and an end with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. 31 They happen whether you want them or not.Every couple of minutes a billboard passes by outside the bus window."Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.""Drink Good Wet Root Beer." "Fill up with Pacific Gas." Only if you sleep,which is equal to turning the television off,are you spared the unending cry of "You Need It! Buy It Now!"
The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting,even if you've traveled that way before.32 It is also fun to try to figure out the style of the driver. 33 Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right,or the left-hand lane?After a while,of course,the excitement dies down.
34 And food makes this part of bus rides more interesting.But you've got to be careful of what kind of food you eat.Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.
The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning.You know it will soon be over and there's a kind of expectation and excitement. 35 By now you've sat with your legs crossed,with your hands in your lap,with your hands on the armrests,and even with your hands behind your head.The end comes just at no more ways to sit.
A.Usually some things have changed: new houses,new buildings,sometimes even a new road.
B.Each part has its own characteristic.
C.The commercials are unavoidable.
D.Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride.
E.The seat,of course,has become harder as the hours have passed.
F.It is so boring that you need something to refresh you.
G.If the driver is particularly adventurous,the ride can be as thrilling as an exciting story.
答案 31—35 CAGDE

If there's one thing everyone knows about the Dead Sea, it is that you can't sink in it.It is eight or nine times saltier than the oceans of the world-so mineral-rich that it doesn't even feel like normal water,more like olive oil mixed with sand.For decades,no holiday in the Holy Land or Jordan has been complete without a photograph of the bather sitting on the surface,usually reading a newspaper.
But the Dead Sea is also a unique ecosystem and a sensitive barometer(晴雨表)of the state of the environment in a part of the world where a dry climate and the need to irrigate farms combine to create a permanent shortage of water.
You may have read that the Dead Sea,whose surface is the lowest point on the planet,is dying.You can see why the idea appeals to headline writers but it isn't true.The truth is that as the level drops,the saltiness is rising and will eventually reach a point where the rate of evaporation(蒸发)will reach a kind of equilibrium,-the amount of water vapor that goes into the air equals that of rainfall.
The Dead Sea is,however,becoming smaller at an alarming rate-the surface level is dropping more than a meter a year.The surface of the Dead Sea is so deep that journeying along the road which winds down to the shore causes your ears to pop as they do on a landing plane.The other side of the coin,however,is the beautiful landscape and relief in the combination of mineral-rich water,comforting mud and abundant sunlight as your reward.
Tourists can choose to visit resorts in either Jordan or Israel and both countries also export makeup products made in this area.
