Peterson Moturi journeyed to Nairobi,Kenya in 2014 to find a better life for himself. Initially, he would sell drinking water and groundnuts, as well as working as a car wash attendant before becoming a watchman for night duties. Since his goal was to join law school, he saved Kes 50,000, which he used to pay for his admission to law school.

He applied for admission to the Kenya School of Law (KSL) in 2016 and was successful, but the biggest headache facing him was that he didn't have enough money to pay his fees. Fortunately, he got some financial assistance from Mr. PLO Lumumba, who was then the school director and offered him a scholarship.

However,Moturi was then faced with the challenging task of working at night and attending class during the day. Unfortunately, when he sat for his final exams, he got a Pass, which could not allow hin to move to the next stage, attaining a law degree.That meant he had to score at least a credit and find money to pay for his diploma courses. He decided to approach his employer, Radar Security,for help.He honestly told his boss that he failed and wondered if he could sponsor him for the diploma once again.

“Now I am a joyful man. I am graduating with a credit score. I can now go ahead, pursue a law degree and become an advocate,"he said at the graduation ceremony.

Online grocery delivery has skyrocketed（飞涨）all over the world． Since COVID-19 cases have been declining, new companies such as Zapp, GoPuff, or Getir have entered the grocery delivery market with a mission to permanently change consumer habits. These rapid grocery delivery services make a novel promise: Groceries can be delivered within minutes to your door. This option sounds great to busy parents who cannot leave their children alone to pop into the store or people who have guests and urgently need a few extra beers without leaving the house. However,shoppers should watch out for the allure（诱惑）of rapid delivery whenever possible.

While a one-time rapid delivery is certainly harmless for the shopper and the whole market, repeatedly using such services will ultimately harm grocery shops and corner shops. So far, rapid delivery companies have been backed by capital fund（资金）to finance their costs，but they need to be profitable in the long run to survive. So they will push up prices and gradually cancel promotions once their capital funding has dried up. Last week, a delivery company was reported to have shut down after running out of cash, leaving its workers joblcss. We should think about the serious outcome that may come up, such as much less lively cities that miss the small shops and delivery workers who face tight deadlines and little job security.

As consumers，we often think that our daily decisions are harmless. Just as one doughnut（甜甜圈）doesn’t compromise our healthy diet and one skipped workout doesn’t affect our fitness，one rapid delivery will not harm the little shops that make our neighborhood lively.Research shows that consumers who perform a behavior regularly for about six weeks have created a habit. So ordering rapid delivery every day will hurt our neighborhoods and make us poorer once prices increase.

Thus,approach the rapid delivery option as you would refuse to accept any other allure. Be careful not to create a habit that you might later come to regret.

28.What makes rapid grocery delivery appealing to consumers?

A.Saving time and energy.

B.Avoiding disease exposure.

C.Following the global trend.

D.Buying highly desirable goods.

29.What consequence may the massive growth of rapid delivery have?

A.Job market will be less completive.

B.Delivery services will make more profits.

C.Local commercial business will be promoted.

D.Small shops and delivery workers will be hurt.

30.What is the function of paragraph 3?

A.To explain the harm of bad habits.

B.To make the argument more persuasive.

C. To add some background information.

D.To stress the value of decision-making.

31.What's the best title for the text?

A.Delivery companies will change how we shop

B.How can we manage to avoid being cheated online?

C.Shoppers should try to resist the allure of rapid delivery

D.How do grocery delivery companies affect small stores?

Researchers have long known that dolphins（海豚）can identify each other with signature whistles, the specific calls they use to refer to themselves. Now, a new study shows that the sense of taste allows bottlenose dolphins to identify their friends through urine-liquid waste from their bodies.

Study leader Jason Bruck, from Stephen F. Austin State University in Texas, initially wanted to test whether those signature whistles work similarly to human names. He needed a second way for dolphins to identify each other. To find out if dolphins could associate a whistle with a specific dolphin, Bruck turned to urine. A scientist had previously observed wild dolphins purposefully swimming through each other's urine, leading Bruck to suspect they were gathering information from it.

Over evolutionary time, bottlenose dolphins have lost their sense of smell but kept a strong sense of taste. For the first part of the experiment, the team presented eight dolphins with urine samples from familiar and unknown individuals, and found that the dolphins spent about three times longer time exploring the familiar urine than the unfamiliar urine, with a few individuals collecting the familiar urine for more than 20 seconds. The dolphins paid little attention to the unfamiliar urine.

Then,for the second part, the researchers tested whether an individual' s whistle and urine were connected in their minds. They paired urine samples with recordings of characteristic screams played on underwater speakers, matched either by the same dolphin that provided the urine or by another animal. It turns out that the dolphins spent more time next to the speaker when the whistles corresponded to the urine sample. This indicates they can recognize each other in more than one way.

Using taste could be beneficial in the open ocean, as dolphins would learn from urine the recent presence of an individual. Given the recognition abilities shown in the study,the researchers think that it is possible that dolphins can also extract other information from urine, such as reproductive status or the use of pheromones（外激素）to influence the behavior of others.

32.What is paragraph 2 mainly about?

A.The swimming style of dolphins.

B.The cause of experimenting with urine.

C.The way of dolphins addressing each other.

D.The similarities between humans and dolphins.

33.How did the dolphins respond when exposed to a correct urine-whistle pair?

A.They screamed at the speaker.

B.They paid little attention to whistles.

C.They stayed near the speaker longer.

D.They got scared enough to flee the area.34.What does “extract” underlined in the last paragraph mean?

34.What does “extract” underlined in the last paragraph mean?

A.Process.

C.Obtain.

D.Convey.

B.Confirm.

35.What does the author intend to tell us about the dolphins?

A.They have a strong sense of hearing.

B.They can recognize their friends by taste.

C.They can form close friendships through sound.

D.They use signature whistles to identify themselves.

With the cost of living on the rise, it’s become more important than ever to watch what we spend. If you use natural gas in your home, the bill can be quite high. Don't worry, though! 36. You won't have to pay huge fuel bills.

Try to reduce energy use

The smaller the difference between the indoor and outdoor temperatures, the less energy will be used. If your thermostat（调节器）is set to a high temperature， your gas bill is bound to be expensive.

Warm air escapes our homes easily，so adding draught excluders（密封条）or a rolled-up towel to block these leaks will help. It's also a good idea to equip your houses with double-glass windows. If it is too costly, it might be worth using some heavy curtains to stop the heat escaping. In addition, keep your blinds open during the day and closed at night. During the day, keep your blinds or curtains open to let the sunlight in. This will help your house warm up. 39.

Do regular maintenance（维修）

Each year, you should service any gas appliance you have, such as a stove or a heater. You should also get your air pipes sealed by a professional. 40. Proper maintenance work can prevent breakdowns in addition to lowering your gas bill.

B.Stop the flow of cold out of your houses

C.Also,turn off the heat when it is not necessary
