When British musician Paul Barton performs in Lopburi lately, his energetic listeners react wildly. Some pull his hair or jump on his piano. Others steal his music. These behaviors are normal; however, these crowds are truly wild—wild monkeys to be exact, who are Barton’s latest animal fans. Past wildlife audiences included elephants and deer living in special protected areas. He also once played to cows to please them to get more milk.
Barton plays often to the animals in Lopburi, an area known for wild macaque monkeys. The pianist hopes the music shows bring calmness to the animals, which often suffer hunger during the hard time and become aggressive（好斗的）.The limited tourism means fewer people come to see the monkeys and feed them.“On the one hand, we need to make an effort to make sure that they eat correctly. On the other hand, we should try to calm these wild animals down,” said Barton, 59, a Thailand man.
Barton has played at four places in Lopburi, including an ancient Hindu temple, a store and an old movie theater. The animals quickly surround Barton when he plays music. Some of the creatures sit on his chair, while others climb up his body and touch his head. However, Barton keeps his attention on his performance, even when some animals run over his hands on the instrument and other animals take control of his music papers. Barton is happy to find they are curious about him and the piano and enjoy the music as he is playing it.

D．Some measures are taken to protect animals.

There are many idioms or sayings in English that we use when we want to describe relationships between and among friends. Here are a few to practice with your friends.
The idiom “through thick and thin” is used to describe a friend who is loyal and supportive during bad times as well as good times. It most often describes a friendship that has been strong for a long time. Here are two examples: John and Lisa have been friends through thick and thin. My best friend and I stayed together through thick and thin.
If two people are “like two peas(豌豆) in a pod”, it means that they get along very well. They are two very good friends and they are very similar to each other. I have never seen Lola and Camille argue; they are like two peas in a pod.
Some friends are especially sympathetic and easy to talk to. They are not judgmental or impatient. They are good at sharing our pain, which helps ease our pain. A friend like this is often called “a shoulder to cry on”.We can go to this person with a problem or sadness and they bring comfort to us.
“To hit it off” with someone means to immediately like or get along with someone. This usually happens the first time two people are meeting. They often share interests, goals, and beliefs. This can happen between friends who like each other at first sight. Carmen and Isabel hit it off at the party and are going to a movie together today. Mike and I did not hit it off on our first date but we are going to try once more.
8．Which of the following may be friends through thick and thin?
A．Friends who often play games.
B．Friends who help reduce pain.
C．Friends who are easy to deal with.
D．Friends who share a long friendship.
9．Which of the following idioms describes two similar friends?
A．To hit it off.
B．Two peas in a pod.
C．A shoulder to cry on.
D．Through thick and thin.
10．What can a friend with a shoulder to cry on provide when we are in trouble?
A．Impatience.
B．Advice.
C．Judgment.
D．Comfort.
11．What’s the purpose of writing the article?
A．To introduce some English idioms.
B．To explain what a good friendship is.
C．To teach readers how to learn idioms well.
D．To offer some examples of English sentences.

In a small house in Belgrade, a teenage girl is drying her hair, while two others eat nearby. Several boys are having their temperature tested at the door. It is another busy day for Svratiste, which is Belgrade’s first center for children who live on the streets. For years, the building has provided warmth and shelter for the city’s most ignored children.
Since opening in 2007, Svratiste has welcomed hundreds of children, some as young as five years old. They come here to warm up, wash or eat. The kids that come to the center are all aged 5 to 15. What’s common for all of them is that they work in the street and live in extreme poverty. Also very few ever go to school.
Svratiste’s team of 13 social workers, psychologists and other experts have welcomed more than 1,400 children over the years. Money for the group’s operations comes from donations. Some people regularly bring in clothes and other aid. The group recently set up another center in a new part of town. Usually, the two centers are open every day. But both were sealed off because of restrictions when the COVID-19 pandemic(新型冠状病毒疫情)started in March. When Belgrade reopened in May, most of the children came back.
The Svratiste team has tried to help the children get to know their city by visiting playgrounds and theaters. An important effort has been to include them in the education system and make sure they stay. Bosko Markovic, now 18, first came to Svratiste five years ago. With the center’s help, he has finished high school and now wants to be a policeman. Therefore, Svratiste has made him a better person.
12．What can we learn about Svratiste?
A．It is a barber’s shop free for kids.
B．It is a shelter for poor kids.
C．It is a street full of working kids.
D．It is a restaurant designed for kids.
13．What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A．The kids Svratiste serves.
B．The efforts Svratiste has made.
C．The way Svratiste serves its customers.
D．The team members Svratiste is made up of.
14．Which of the following can refer to the words underlined in Para.3?
A．Changed.
B．Decorated.
C．Closed.
D．Painted.
15．What can we infer from Bosko Markovic?
A．He has an impractical dream.
B．He will reward Svratiste’s help.
C．He benefits a lot from Svratiste.
D．He has been admitted to a college.

Living with an animal is like living with a human friend. Here are some suggestions for a pet owner.

18． Just be in the same room with them. Let them be near you while you make dinner, watch TV or read a book. The more you’re around one another, the better chances you have of becoming friends.
