6Apr
Hue is really a beautiful city with lots to e,and I would love to stay longer. Vietnam is an amazing country,with big modern cities and small traditional towns, mountains and forests.Two weeks here just isn't enough.
4Apr
Now we're in the old capital city of Hue.After hiking around the mountains,it's nice to have a shower!Our trip to Sapa was long.From there,we took a coach to a small village in the mountains,and we went hiking for three days.The hill tribe people in Vietnam live a basic life—no electricity or telephones.They don't have much money,but they are the kindest people I've ever met.Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Vietname,so smiling is the best way.

Before you read this story,let's take a look at a ntence in
Chine:“研表究明，汉字序顺并不定一影阅响读。”Did you
notice that some of the characters in this ntence are in the
wrong order'?You might not realize it,but your brain can read
and understand most ntences,even when the words are in the
wrong order.
This may have something to do with psychology*,according to Chen Qingrong from Nanjing Normal University.
When we're first learning how to read,we read word by word,But after we become more experienced,we read in full phras and even ntences.People can read five to six words at one time,Chen told the Yangt Evening Post Also,as experienced readers,we take the things we're familiar with for granted.We don't pay as much attention to small details,such as word order.
飞机行李Therefore,when we read the ntence at the beginning of this article,the content was familiar to us.So we read it the way we think it should be in our memory,with all the words in the right order.This is like when we e a person with long hair----we assume*the person is a girl without taking a clor look,according to Chen.
This can be also en in many other languages,such as English.Read the following ntence: "This is bcuae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef.but the word as a wlohe."
It is believed that humans remember the meanings of words mostly by their shape and layout, rather than the order of the letters,Matt Davis of Cambridge University told the Independent.
However,we cannot read scrambled*ntences as quickly and efficiently as we read the normal text,according to Daily Telegraph.
()29.According to the passage,if the words in a ntence are in the wrong order,we may____.
< notice the wrong order
< understand the ntence
D.have to ask others for help
()30.According to Chen Qingrong,word order doesn't affect experienced readers becau__.
A.they read ntences word by word
B.they understand the content easily
C.they pay lots of attention to small details
D.they read veral words together at a time ()31.The example of"a person with long hair"shows that we always_______while reading.
A.pay more attention to details环保的英语
B.take a clo look at the ntences
B.give suggestions on how to remember the meanings of words
D.stress that it's necessary to know the order of the letters in a ntence

A dragonfly,only an inch and a half long,appears to be animal
world's best long distance traveler-----flying thousands of miles over
oceans as it moves from continent*to continent-----according to a
newly published rearch.
Biologists who lead the study say the evidence is in the genes. They found that populations of this dragonfly,called Pantala flavescens,in Texas,eastern Canada, Japan,Korea,India,and South America,have genes so similar that there is only one likely explanation.Obviously the dragonflies a
re traveling distances that are quite long for their small size,breeding*with each other,and creating a common gene pool.
But how do dragonflies from different continents manage to meet and breed?Ware says it appears to be the way their bodies have evolved*.For example,they incread surface areas on their wings that enable them to u the wind to carry them.
Dragonflies,in fact,have already been found crossing the Indian Ocean from Asia to Africa. "They are following the weather,"says Daniel Troast."They're going from India where it's dry ason to Africa where it's wet ason,and they do it once a year.”
Wetness is important for Pantala,and that is why they would take such a dangerous trip. Though many will die on the route,as long as enough make it,the species*survives.For the moment,the details of this wonderful inct trip are an educated best guess.Much more work is
