29、 shiny, yellow metal, but it is one of the most valuable metals on earth. Since the beginning of time, men have looked for this extremely valuable item, gold.Gold is soft and easy to form into different objects. If it gets wet, it does not rust like iron or other metals. Acids do not change it. One
30、important reason that gold is so valuable is that it is scarce.Due to its softness, gold must be combined with other metals to harden it and give it strength. By hardening gold, people can then make coins and jewelry with it. Metals commonly mixed with gold are nickel, platinum, and copper. Gold jew
31、elry bears a number and the letter K. The K means karat(carat), which is a measure of the amount of pure gold in the jewelry. Pure gold is 24K.

36、ld fasten your seat belt low on your hips and as possible. Of course, you should also know how the release mechanism of your belt operates. During takeoffs and landings you are advised to keep your feet fiat on the floor. Before takeoff you should locate the nearest exit and an alternative exit and
37、count the rows of seats between you and the exits so that you can find them in the dark if necessary.In the event that you are forewarned of a possible accident, you should put your hands on your ankles and keep your head down until the plane comes to a complete stop.

And good writers,
44、 like good cooks, do not suddenly appear full-blown. Quite the contrary, just as the cook has to undergo an intensive training, mastering the skills of his trade, the writer must sit at his desk and devote long hours to achieving a style in his writing, whatever its purposeschool work, matters of bu
45、siness, or purely social communication. You may be sure that the more painstaking the effort, the more effective the writing, and the more rewarding.There are still some remote places in the world where you might find a public scribe to do your business or social writing for you, for a fee. There ar
46、e a few managers who are lucky enough to have the service of that rare kind of secretary who can take care of all sorts of letter writing with no more than a quick note to work from. But for most of us, if there is any writing to be done, we have to do it ourselves.We have to write school papers, bu
47、siness papers or home papers. We are constantly called on to put words to paper. It would be difficult to count the number of such words, messages, letters, and reports put into the mails or delivered by hand, but the daily figure must be enormous. What is more, everyone who writes expects, or at le
48、ast hopes, that his writing will be read. We want to arouse (引起) and hold the interest of the readers. We want whatever we write to be read, from first word to last, not just thrown into some “letters-to-be-read“ file or into a wastepaper basket. This is the reason we bend our efforts toward learnin
49、g and practicing the skills of interesting, effective writing.（分数：10.00）(1).In this passage, good writing is compared to fine food because _.A. both writers and cooks have to work long hours every dayB. both are essential to lifeC. both are enjoyableD. both writers and cooks can earn a good living（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).A public “scribe“ (Para.
