Many of us would like to spend all of our time helping dogs in need, but it can be hard to carve out that kind of time. Well, one man, Eugene Bostick, decided that when he retired, he would devote the rest of his life to helping homeless dogs feel loved.
Eugene Bostick was fortunate enough to be able to retire at the ripe age of 65 after working his entire life on his farm. His farm was located at the end of a dead end street, and he noticed that people would, unfortunately, abandon their dogs on the farm.
Eugene refused to see these pets suffering, and he quickly picked up these abandoned dogs, giving them food and taking them to the vet’s(兽医诊所) to make sure they were spayed or neutered(阉割)．
Eugene’s farm has all kinds of animals, such as horses and goats, so these dogs have plenty of other animals to play with.
Over the last 20 years, Eugene has shown his kindness by taking on these abandoned pets, but he has also seen the chance to offer them a bit of adventure. After spotting a neighbor transporting rocks behind his tractor using barrels, he realized he could do the same for his dogs. Eugene got to work to make his own train, and added some pleasant pillows so his furry friends could travel in comfort. The dogs quickly got on the barrel train, and together, they spent hours traveling around town and through the forests nearby.
After they were spotted around town, one neighbor took a picture of Eugene that went viral, and a GoFundMe page was started that gained plenty of donations. Eugene was amazed by everyone’s generosity, and was happy to see others help these abandoned animals feel loved. Eugene will continue to care for his dogs, and we should all follow his lead!
24. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Eugene wished to retire ahead of time to care for homeless dogs.
B. People would race to the farm to pick up homeless dogs.
C. Eugene and the vet took in many abandoned dogs together.
D. Eugene’s idea for the barrel train was inspired by his neighbor.
25. What’s people’s attitude to Eugene’s act?
A. Supportive. 　　　 B. Unconcerned.
C. Doubtful. D. Astonished.
26. Which words can be used to describe Eugene?
A. Serious and hardworking. B. Caring and adventurous.
C. Rich and generous. D. Playful and childish.
27. What can be the best title for this passage?
A. A Retired Man’s Life B. Lucky Dogs
C. A Train For Homeless Dogs D. How To Help Homeless Dogs

In advance of World Book Day on April 23, the Chinese Academy of Press and Publication released its 17th annual report on the study of Chinese people’s reading habits on Monday.
Based on a survey that ranged from August 2019 to February 2020, the report showed 81.1 percent of adult Chinese surveyed have a habit of reading, whether in print or on digital devices, a slight increase of 0.3 percent from 2018. Wei Yushan, director of the academy, said the survey covered 55 cities and towns in the country and it can credibly represent the situation of the whole population.
In 2019, adult Chinese read on average 4.65 books in print and 2.84 digital books, while in 2018 it was 4.67 and 3.32, a small drop for both.
While the report said most Chinese feel they’re not satisfied with the amount of books they read in a year. 11.1 percent read more than 10 books in print, and 7.6 percent more than 10 e－books. As for children and young people under 17, the results are more encouraging, according to Wei. The survey revealed they read 10.36 books a year on average, 1.45 more than in 2018.
Audio(有声的) books are attracting more Chinese, as 30.3 percent of adults and 34.7 percent of minors had a habit of listening to audio books in 2019, increasing by 4.3 and 8.5 percent compared to 2018. The report found mobile phones were the top choice of medium when Chinese people read. On average, adults spent 100.41 minutes a day on mobile phones, 15.54 minutes more than in 2018.
A closer look at the report shows people’s priority when using the Internet was to socialize(60.2 percent), followed by getting news(59 percent) and enjoying video clips(56.9 percent). Only 20.5 percent of them used it to connect to books, newspapers or journals.
Still, there’s good news in the data from younger readers. Wei said 94.3 percent of Chinese families with children under 8 had a habit of reading, and parents spent almost 25 minutes every day reading with their kids, 2.37 minutes more than in 2018.
28. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A. The 17th World Book Day will be celebrated on April 23.
B. The report is released every year by the Chinese Academy of Press and Publication.
C. More than 80% of the adult Chinese prefer to read on digital devices than in print.
D. The survey was conducted throughout the country in 2019.
29. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Kids and teenagers. B. Adults.
C. Students. D. The results.
30. What can be inferred from Paragraph 5?
A. Chinese people spent more time reading audio books in 2018 than in 2019.
B. The report indicates Chinese readers’ growing interest in online reading.
C. There was a drop in the number of books read by average adult Chinese in 2018.
D. More Chinese readers tend to read through the mobile phones.
31. What is Wei Yushan’s attitude toward the data from younger readers?
A. Unclear. B. Positive. C. Skeptical. D. Casual.
D
When I sat down at my kitchen table at the tail end of winter to write my first column under lockdown, I didn't think I would still be there come midsummer. That piece was about the health benefits of contact with nature and how to get them in a locked-down world.
I was reminded of this last week during a bike ride with my wife through the still-quiet streets of central London. We swung through St James’s Park and stopped at the lake to admire the pelicans(鹈鹕). The sun was shining, the water was clear and the big, ungainly birds were splendidly alien. It was a painful reminder of our decision to cancel a planned holiday to Greece, and with it the hope of seeing wild Dalmatian pelicans.
Thankfully, the country I am stuck in is becoming increasingly exotic(异国情调的). The pandemic has done little to slow Britain’s accelerating rewilding movement. In the past few months, we have heard that European bison will soon be coming to Kent, that pine martens are making a comeback in England and that a pair of white storks at the Knepp Estate in West Sussex have successfully raised chicks---the first wild storks to breed in Britain for more than 500 years.
Two major rewilding projects have also been announced during lockdown. Solar power entrepreneur Jeremy Leggett has bought a 500-hectare estate in the Highlands of Scotland to restore nature there, and farmers in East Anglia are planning to turn over 250, 000 hectares of intensively farmed agricultural land that could one day support lynx, beavers and, yes, pelicans.
Rewilding is largely a matter of humans getting out of the way and letting nature take charge. That, of course, has been happening due to the sudden suspension of life as we know it --- a period that group of biologists has proposed calling the anthropause(暂停).
We know that the anthropause has benefited the environment in multiple ways, but its influence on wildlife isn’t yet clear. There have been reports of wild animals venturing into cities: pumas in Santiago, wild boar in Barcelona. But these are small and temporary incursions(进入). What lessons can we learn as we come out of this period and try to build better world?
To answer this question, conservation biologists have set up an international project called the COVID-19 Bio-Logging Initiative. The scientists plan to analyse animal movement and distribution before, during and after the anthropause to determine exactly how human activity affects them, and then, once life can return to normal, to apply those lessons to the global rewilding movement.
“Nobody is asking for humans to stay in permanent lockdown, but we may discover that relatively minor changes to our lifestyles and transport networks can potentially have significant benefits for both ecosystems and humans,” says Martin Wikelski, one of the project’s leaders.
32. What inspired the author to write his current column?
A. The quiet streets. B. The beautiful lake.
C. His wife’s suggestion. D. His seeing the pelicans.
33. What do the examples of European bison, pine martens and white storks show?
A. The bad influence of the pandemic.
B. The harmony among exotic animals.
C. The future of the UK’s endangered animals.
D. The results of the rewilding movement.
34. What is the purpose of the COVID-19 Bio-Logging Initiative?
A. To call for global efforts to fight COVID-19.
B. To evaluate the influence of the anthropause on wildlife.
C. promote the rewilding concept all around the world.
D. To figure out ways to protect animals during COVID-19.
35. What is Martin Wikelski’s opinion?
A. Lockdown is beneficial to humans.
B. The anthropause will last for a long time.
C. Human activity has an influence on rewilding.
D. The COVID-19 Bio-Logging Initiative will be successful.

Living with Joy
Living with joy can sometimes be a challenge. When things appear to be going against our will, we tend to experience pain, suffering, or a bad day.
_____36_____ And instead of viewing bad things as causes of getting upset, try to view them as lessons of helping you grow. Too many times, we think that the outer world is creating our day, causing us to be sad or unhappy. _____37_____ We create our day, the circumstances for joyous living.
_____38_____ This internal happiness spreads outward through every cell of our bodies and creates the outer experience of a smile, or laugh. Then we can see and choose our feelings, desires, goals and dreams. _____39_____
We create the reality where we experience joy, anger, love, and fear. Because we have the free will to choose our reality, we can make that conscious choice happier. _____40_____ The reason is that we have to have the internal feeling of happiness to create that happiness in our daily lives then.
So, start changing your negatives into positives, gain clarity(清晰), and open your heart by looking inside yourself. When we start changing ourselves from inside out, the universe will respond to us.
A. Thus these situations will disappear.
B. However, it’s the opposite that is true.
C. Besides, we’re in control of our feelings.
D. In order to be happy, we need “be happy” inside.
E. These further enable us to show an outer reality based on our true selves..
F. This happiness though will never come if you are looking outside of yourself first.
G. One thing that we all need to acquire is the ability to see all situations, people and events from a positive perspective.

(Text 5) W: I have got time to buy a magazine, haven’t I?
M: The train is about to leave.
(Text 6) M: Hi, is this where I can get information on tours?
W: Yes, I can help you with that. What type of tour are you thinking about? There are some great city tours that are one-day or two-day overnight.
M: I think I’m interested in a hiking trip to the mountains. I’m big on nature. Are the overnight trips expensive? W: Not at all. They are very reasonably priced, starting at ＄96 and up.
M: Do I need to book ahead? W: Yes, this company requires that you book 48 hours ahead. M: Great. Can I book that here at the hotel tour desk, or do I call the company directly? W: I can book that for you. Just stop by when you’ve made a decision and I’ll take care of it for you.
M: That’s great. Thanks a lot for your help.
(Text 7) W: Hello.
M: Hello, Susan, this is Jim. I’m calling from the bus stop at Pine Street. I’ve been searching for your house for about thirty minutes now, but I can’t seem to find it. I forgot to bring the map you gave me.
W: OK. Wait right where you are. I’ll come and get you.
M: That’s not necessary. If you tell me the direction once again, I’ll probably be all right this time.

W: That’s a good deal—you save 150 dollars.
M: Yeah, and it’s a lot easier than shopping in the stores. You don’t have to leave your house. You just send in your credit card information and they send it to your house.
W: That’s true—but I’d rather pay cash than use my credit card. And I don’t like sending my credit card information over the Internet.
(Text 9) M：Good morning, Dr. Ellis’ Office. W: This is Mrs. Jackson. May I speak to the doctor?
M: Mrs. Jackson, this is Dr. Ellis speaking. How’s that new tooth?
W: Not so good, doctor. That’s what I’m calling about. It just doesn’t seem to fit right.
M: Well, that’s to be expected during the first few days after it has been put in. Have you been leaving it in as I told you? W: Well, it hurts so much, doctor, especially when I eat.
M: I understand, Mrs. Jackson. It hurts in the beginning, I know. But it’s really better to leave it in, except when you clean it, of course. W: Well, it hurts so much that I just couldn’t stand it any longer.
M: Well, maybe we can set it right a little more. W: Set it right?
M: Yes. When can you come here? W: Oh, right away, doctor, if you don’t mind.
M: Let me see. Can you get here by 11:00?
W: Oh, yes, doctor. I can make it. Thank you. See you then.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to our university. The University of Bradford is proud of its fame for making students from other countries feel welcome. 27% of our present postgraduate students come from outside the EU, studying courses and doing research across all the university’s departments. The presence of so many students from so many different countries and cultures helps to create an environment for everyone in the university. Bradford also has a long tradition of attracting people from other countries, many of whom have settled here. There are large communities originally from Eastern Europe, the West Indies and East Africa. Most international students quickly feel at home in Bradford. If you think you would like to study in England, and at the University of Bradford in particular, you should read this statement carefully to see which courses interest you. The pages in this section will then give you some extra information which you might find helpful. Once you have applied, we will send you full details of the best way to get to Bradford, and the arrangements we will make for your first few days. I do hope that you will like what we have offered, and that you will decide to apply to study in Bradford. If you accept one of our courses or to take up research, I can make it certain that the university will make your time with us as rewarding as possible with every effort.
