Joseph Lemasolai wrote a book about his life.His people,the Maasai,are nomads,meaning they do not stay in one place for long.They move their villages in search of good grass and fresh water for their cattle.“The cow is the centerpiece of pretty much everything we do,”Joseph explains.“That’s why we move.We could not be nomads without cattle.You can’t move for nothing—you can’t just walk around!”

When he was very young,Joseph spent much of his time looking after his family’s cattle,taking them to food and water and watching out for lions.He played on the grassland with his friends.

When Joseph was about six years old,he left his family to attend a boarding school(寄宿學校).There,Joseph faced difficulties much like other children do.He was laughed at because he was fat.He got into trouble daily with his teachers.

But Joseph also faced difficulty most children do not.“Every time school closed for vacation,I had to find my way home,”Joseph says.“That was one of the hardest things:The village might be 5 miles away,or it might be 50.Sometimes I wouldn’t know exactly where my family was.I had to search for them.”

Joseph later attended high school in a city.After graduation,he went to college.Finally,he became a social studies teacher,and now he is teaching seventh and eighth graders at a school.

Every summer,Joseph travels back to the grassland to visit his mother,brothers,and friends.And he takes a group of students with him to see both the beauty and the difficulty of growing up in that part of the country.“I like to show them the other side of the coin,”Joseph says.

Clay is important because it is used to make containers of all kinds.Workers add water to soften clay.This makes it easier to form into shapes by hand or by machine.Then it is heated to a very high temperature.The result is a container that will last for many years.

In many countries,clay was formed from volcanoes(火山).This kind of clay usually contains many minerals(礦物質).So the fires to make containers from volcanic clay must be hotter than those used for non?volcanic clay.The fires may be as hot as 1400 ℃.The high temperature should not be reached too fast so that the containers can be dried slowly.

You can add some materials to clay to gain desired results.For example,you can add sand to prevent tiny breaks or lines from forming on the surface of the final product.But you should not use sand from the coasts of oceans.Instead,you should use sand from rivers or other areas.

Clay often exists in fields covered with some water.The clay will be found about one meter below the ground.River banks often also have clay about one meter or less under the surface.Clay is very shiny when it is wet.You can also take some of the material and add enough water to it.Then press it in your hands until it is about the size of an egg.It is probably clay if it holds together when you stop pressing.

第43題What do workers do with clay to make it into different shapes?

A. Soften it by putting water into it.

B. Heat it to a very high temperature.

C. Harden its surface by pressing it.

D. Add some materials into it.

【正確答案】A

第44題Whats the difference between volcanic clay and non?volcanic clay?

A. Volcanic clay can be found in very few countries.

B. Non-volcanic clay can be dried more quickly.

C. Non-volcanic clay makes better containers.

D. Volcanic clay usually has more minerals.

【正確答案】D

第45題In making containers sand is added to clay______.

A. to produce containers free from tiny breaks

B. to make desired lines on the surface

C. to make it easier to shape

D. to get special patterns

【正確答案】A

第46題Clay can often be found______.

A. along the coast of the ocean

B. anywhere under the ground

C. in water-covered fields

D. under volcanoes

【正確答案】C

D

Nearly five million people see Grand Canyon each year.

Most of them see it from their cars at overlooks along the South Rim.The South Rim is the easiest to reach in the park.

The South Rim is open 24 hours a day,365 days a year.Services are provided and facilities(設施)are open year round.

A much smaller number of people see the Canyon from the North Rim,which lies just 10 miles directly across the Canyon from the South Rim.The North Rim rises a thousand feet higher than the South Rim,and is more difficult to reach.Heavy snows close the road to the North Rim from late October to mid?May of each year.Even in good weather it’s harder to get to.

The inner canyon includes everything below the rim and is seen mainly by campers,mule(騾子)riders,or river runners.There are many opportunities here for adventurous persons who want to camp,ride a mule to Phantom Ranch,or take a river trip through the Canyon on the Colorado River.

Visitor services and facilities inside the national park on the North Rim are only open from mid?May to late October.Weather permitting,the North Rim is open for day use only,following the close of facilities in late October.During this time there are neither services nor overnight facilities.
