 As he looks up at the Jade Dragon Mountain, Zhang Jinpeng basks(晒太阳) in the sunshine on the roof-top of his youth hostel in Lijiang, a popular tourist destination in Yunnan province in Southwest China. He is content and excited at the same time, since the hostel, which he named after his best-seller A Decade of Backpacking, opened earlier this month.
   Published in 2010, Zhang’s book was considered a milestone in Chinese travel writing. It sold more than 600,000 copies and triggered a wave of travel books by other Chinese writers who were born in the late 1970s and 1980s. Different from travel guides and traditional Chinese travel literature that mainly depict(描述) landscapes and scenery, these books by young travelers tell stories of their personal growth through traveling.
   In A Decade of Backpacking, Zhang recounts his travels around the world since 2001, after he graduated from Nan Kai University in Tianjin and decided to see the world. “At the time my book came out, there were few books that catered to young people's longing while traveling.” Zhang’s book ignited（点燃）a Chinese craze for travel writing. Featuring different themes, travel writing became a popular genre. But most of the books have one thing in common: The travelers are mostly young people. The Late Gap Year (2009), written by Sun Dongchun, tells the story of a young man who gave up a white-collar job and started a three-month trip for a volunteer program in Southeast Asia. The trip turned into a year-long travel. What’s more, he even found his Miss Right and got married by the end of the story. We Always Travel Hand in Hand, published in 2012, was written by a young couple. Their travel romance, complete with beautiful pictures, first went viral on a Chinese micro-blog. Song Zhenshao, counselor at the psychological counseling center of Beijing Normal University, says: “To step out of ordinary life is a deep desire associated with freedom in people’s hearts, and the hustle and bustle of city life intensifies(使强烈) the desire.”
    But as more similar travelogues hit the bookshelves, the average sales for new travel books have dropped. “The market for travel writing has become saturated(饱和),” says Li Shen, editor of several travel books at the Beijing-based China Civic Press. “We have been very cautious in accepting manuscripts from new travel writers. We don’t publish them unless they have a very unique perspective or unusual experiences.” Zhang Jinpeng, too, has been changing the direction in his writing. After A Decade of Backpacking, he published Why We Travel in 2012. His next book will be titled Don’t Forget the Road Back Home.

      An endangered deer with vampire-like fangs(尖牙) was spotted for the first time in nearly 60 years, in a remote forest in northeastern Afghanistan. The fanged creature is known as the Kashmir musk deer, and it is native to the Himalayas of northern India, Pakistan’s Kashmir region and northern Afghanistan. 
Only the male deer have fangs, and they use them during mating season to compete for females. A team of researchers scoured (搜索) Afghanistan’s Nuristan province during 2008 and 2009, and recorded five sightings of the animal. This was the first time the species had been spotted since 1948. During the survey, the researchers spotted a single male Kashmir musk deer near the same area three separate times. The researchers also recorded one female and her baby, and saw a second single female that they think may have been the same deer, without her baby. These musk deer are classified as an endangered species on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List. Musk-deer meat is a local delicacy, but the species is mostly hunted for its scent glands that are more valuable by weight than gold — some believe the glands have pharmaceutical (药学的)properties, and they sell for nearly $20,455 per pound ($45,000 per kilogram) on the black market, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
       Three decades of war have ravaged Nuristan province, and the continued violence and political instability make the black-market trade of scent glands uncontrollable. Furthermore, the species is quickly losing suitable habitat. All of the musk deer were spotted on sheltered rocky outcrops around 9,843 feet (3,000 meters) high. In the summer, they regularly trek(跋涉) along steep slopes that make them almost impossible to approach and keep them relatively safe from hunters. However, heavy snowfall in the winter drives the species farther down, to more human-accessible slopes, and hunters come from all over the country to stalk(追踪) the deer for their valuable scent glands.
       Due to violence and unrest, nongovernmental organizations like the Wildlife Conservation Society have not been able to operate in the Nuristan province since 2010. The WCS maintains contact with locals they have trained to survey and search for the musk deer. Once the situation in Nuristan improves, the WCS intends to return to the area to continue research and to formulate a conservation plan.
63. Male deer use fangs in mating season to _________.
       A. fight for their land    B. beat for females

64. From the passage, we could learn that ________.
       A. all of the Kashmir musk deer in the mountainous area have fangs
       B. people hunt for the deer mainly because their meat is delicious
       C. it is relatively easier for hunters to hunt the rare species in winter
       D. the Kashmir musk deer are fierce animals because of their fangs
65. Which factor does not contribute to the uncontrollable trade in the black market?
       A. Government control.                  B. Continued violence.  
   C. Political instability.                   D. Years of war.
