Bert won a national prize called Young Heroes for his “green” project. This public-spirited young person was now a university student. His love for insects grew deeper and he was protecting them for the future.

________. When he was around 4 or 5, he always loved to watch different insects, especially beautiful swallowtails (凤蝶). One interesting fact he learned about swallowtails was that their bright colors warned hungry animals that they tasted bad. And it was also fun to watch how they came into being. But the reason he really fell in love with them was that they were very accessible. For example, if you wanted to attract (吸引) swallowtails, you planted some zinnias, a kind of bright flowers.

Bert started a zinnia garden at his house, where he raised a large number of swallowtails over the years. With the world's swallowtail population falling, Bert wanted people to realize that if insects like swallowtails disappeared, so would all the others above them on the food chain. To make the fact clear and easy to understand for other students, he also created a zinnia garden at his junior high school.

Part of the joy for Bert was watching the younger students get excited when running after swallowtails. "Whenever a swallowtail lands on them, the young students will soon fall in love with these cute insects. They develop a new appreciation for them," he said.

Bert put his efforts into the environmental educational project and made it take flight.

61. After Bert was honored with Young Heroes, _______.

A. he often gave speeches in public

B. he set up his "green" project

C. he became interested in swallowtails

D. he went on protecting insects

62. Which of the following can be put in _______?

A. Bert saved many swallowtails

B. Bert had a dull childhood

C. Bert found his love early in life

D. Bert made a hard decision

A. dangerous to feed

B. easy to get close to

C. hard to raise

D. safe to reach

64. The main reason for Bert to create a zinnia garden at school was _______.

A. to watch students have fun

B. to make his school more beautiful

C. to stop swallowtails from disappearing

D. to help kids learn about swallowtails

65. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. A Bright Flower

B. A Flying Project

C. A Green Garden

D. A Warning Action

C

When the famous scientist Albert Einstein was 16 years old, he imagined himself riding alongside a beam (束) of light. He used this picture in mind to help him when working out the "theory of relativity(相对论)". "Imagination is more important than knowledge," said Einstein.

Daydreaming, called “thought experiments” by Einstein, can make you have wild imaginings, like flying around in space. It lets your mind walk slowly around ideas，memories and experiences that aren't happening right now. It means thinking ahead to a holiday or remembering how much you enjoyed a birthday party. According to China's health authorities (权威机构), daydreaming for a while each day can improve your health and creativity.

Disappearing into a daydream lets your mind escape when things are difficult. It helps you deal with worries and fears. For example, imagining how you're going to speak up in class is like practicing the scene in your head， which can make you feel calmer. Daydreaming also inspires creativity and lets you find new worlds where there are no limits (限制) to what you can do or who you are. Guo Qiang, an expert in thoughts and feelings, thinks we should all make time today dream. "Thinking for pleasure can be a powerful tool to shape our feelings," he said.

However, try not to let your mind be absent when you need to focus (聚焦) in class or cross the road. Instead, find a time when you don't have to focus on anything, like going for a walk or brushing your teeth. Guo suggests you can start by focusing on a happy memory or imagining a future success, like scoring a goal in the World Cup.

To encourage creativity, think about interesting ideas and see where your mind takes you. Research shows that people often come up with more solutions to problems after they've taken a break. So next time you're stuck with homework, stop for a moment and see where your daydreams take you.

66. Which writing skill is used in paragraph 1?

A. Giving an example.

B. Raising a question.

C. Listing numbers.

D. Comparing facts.

67. Daydreaming can make people _______.

A. fly around

B. walk slowly

C. think freely

D. be absent-minded

68. Guo Qiang first suggests _______.

A. escaping from the hard time

B. looking for new worlds

C. finding time to imagine

D. focusing on success

69. What is mentioned in paragraph 4?

A. The steps to daydream.

B. The things to daydream of.

C. The reasons for daydreaming.

D. The meanings of daydreaming.

70. Daydreaming is talked about _______.

A. to remind people to have a mind break

B. to suggest living at the moment

C. to find solutions to homework problems

D. to show a science research result
