Now the government’s environmental protection action is working. Ocean Is SingingEcuador (厄瓜多尔) takes action to protect the ocean. It provides along “underwater highway” which allows animals to travel in protected waters. And a new reserve (保护区) has been set up. It will be divided into two parts.

The Coldest Post Office Is Hiring (招聘)    Four people will be chosen to work at the world’s coldest post office — “Penguin Post Office”. It is in Antarctica (南极洲). Although the four people each have their own roles, they offer service together to the tourists who come by boat. They should also monitor (监控) wildlife, including counting penguins and environmental data (数据) collection.  31．In which section of the newspaper can we read the news?A．PICTURE SHOW B．TRAVEL AROUNDC．HELLO, ANIMALS! D．OCEAN WORLD32．The best heading for the first news would be __________.A．Save the Endangered Animals B．The River is Back to LifeC．Protect the Environment D．The Fishing Ban is Working33．What is TRUE according to the second news?A．Animals can travel in protected waters.B．Fishing isn’t allowed in the reserve.C．The ocean in Ecuador is divided into two parts.D．The reserve is set up to stop “long line” fishing.34．What does the title “Ocean Is Singing” mean?A．The ocean is now in better condition. B．Fish in the ocean can sing songs.C．There’s no pollution in the ocean. D．People are happy to protect the ocean.35．To work in “Penguin Post Office”, you need to __________.A．take a boat to Antarctica B．monitor tourists’ lifeC．feed the penguins D．collect information One of my grandchildren sent me a self-portrait (自画像) she created in an art class. The first half of the portrait shows her hair parted in the middle, with her big brown eyes looking through her glasses. The second half of the self-portrait is a blue mask (口罩) with colorful flowers. It is a clever art work using the mask as a cover. The mask can be taken off, but I received her picture with the mask on.     The child needs to work on her smize. A fashion model created the term “smize” several years ago. A “smize” is a word from smile and eyes, which means that you smile with your eyes. For example, models can make their eyes smile without moving their mouths.     Smizing is popular now. It’s hard to show friendliness when half of your face is covered. Restaurants are even teaching waiters to perfect the smize behind face masks. You can smize by scrunching (使收缩) up your eyes and pushing your eyes up to create a smiling look. It’s hard to do, but you can learn how to do it by keeping doing it again and again in front of a mirror. Like most people, I can wear my mask and smile at the same time, but my eyes can’t smile without my mouth. They have a very close bond.     We would rather get close to each other by smile and kindness than the cold face behind the mask. Go ahead, smize or smile, whatever you can do.36．The writer mentioned her grandchild’s self-portrait to __________.A．introduce a talented childB．show readers an art workC．raise public attention of wearing masksD．lead up to a special way of smiling37．From paragraphs 2 and 3, we can know that __________.A．“smize” means smiling with mouths B．it’s impossible to smile with masks onC．it’s difficult to learn to smize D．models can smile only with their eyes38．The underlined word “bond” is closest in meaning to __________.A．look B．relation C．knock D．friend39．What can we infer from the passage?A．Masks can’t completely hide our friendliness B．If you can push your eyes up, you can smize.C．All the waiters in restaurants can smize. D．The writer learns to smize by keeping do it.40．What would be the best title of the passage?A．With or Without Masks B．Spread Friendliness Behind the MaskC．Get Close To Others D．A Self-Portrait with A Mask On     A man in black clothes jumps high into the air.
