After their three children grew up and left home, Margaret Thompson and her husband, Kenneth, stretched their legs together on walking holidays in Switzerland. Year after year, they would head up the mountain and watch the paragliders（空中滑翔）launch themselves into the sky. Back in town, in a large park, they watched them return to earth."Some day I'd love to do that," Thompson told Kenneth.

But there was always so much to do, so she continued to watch the gliders take flight and land. Sadly, Kenneth died in 2005. Thirty years after those walking holidays, Thompson finally took to the skies herself, in a paraglider with an instructor. Thompson was 80 then.

Recently, Thompson heard from an instructor that grown men, when in the air, sometimes cry and beg to be brought down. But what she remembers is-feeling free."You feel weightless. It's quite windy. It blows you around. You feel like you are up in heaven somewhere there, watching everyone down below."

Thirty years seems a long time to hold on to a dream."Indeed, it was," she says. When asked why it took so long, Thompson said," I wanted to do it, but I felt somebody should benefit from it."

She did not think of just enjoying the experience. She believed there should be a cause at the end of it all."she says. With her first paraglide, she raised £ 1,500 for Moorfields eye hospital in London, most of it with the aid of social clubs run by the Presbyterian church she regularly attends.

Thompson felt no fear paragliding."I mean, you sort of say to yourself: Well, if anything happens to me now, I'm OK. People might worry about falling, it being the end of them. But that didn't bother me at all. When it's your time, it's your time. No matter where you are."

24. Why didn't Thompson take up paragliding after her children left home?

A. She was busy.   B. She preferred walking.

C. She was afraid of heights.   D. She had to take care of her husband.

25. How did Thompson feel when in the air?

A. She lost his direction.   B. She was scared to death.

C. She regretted paragliding.   D. She had a sense of freedom.

26. Why promoted Thompson to achieve her dream even after thirty years?

A. She got financial support from social clubs.  

B. She hoped to contribute to the society.

C. She wanted to mourn her late husband.

D. She wanted to experience the fun.

27. How did Thompson feel about falling?

A. Terrified.  B. Indifferent.  C. Calm.  D. Thrilled.

C

Every day on the respiratory ward（呼吸道病房）at one of Kyrgyzstan's biggest hospitals, Temiraly kyzy, a 24-year-old nurse, puts on the music and leads her patients to dance.

This involves a range of body movements and leaves everyone smiling — but Temiraly kyzy is not doing it for fun. The dance is part of a treatment programme offered to people with COPD — a common, preventable and treatable lung condition.

COPD develops from midlife onwards；symptoms（症状）include breathlessness, cough and tiredness. It is one of the top three causes of death worldwide. Globally, there are 3 million deaths a year from COPD but this number is expected to rise to 5. 4 million by 2060.

Treatment for COPD in many countries involves inhalers and antibiotics（抗生 素）. In Kyrgyzstan, these medicine can cost more than a monthly salary. In 2016, Sooronbaev, director of the National Centre and his team started experimenting with pulmonary rehabilitation（肺疾病康复）, a physical exercise programme designed for people with lung conditions.

Over the years, the programme has expanded and now it is already in use in three hospitals. Apart from lectures and patient support groups, there is a system of physical exercise, including volleyball, walking, cycling on exercise bikes and dance.

The transformative effect has been obvious."I remember one woman who was 63, "a doctor says." She cried because she had severe shortness of breath, coughed all the time. She was really depressed. She was invited to take part in the programme and the results surprised him.

Afterwards, she was like a flower-she smiled and her body language was more active. That sticks in my mind."

Sooronbaev wants pulmonary rehabilitation to be available throughout the country from this year. Patients who have experienced the programme are being trained to teach others, and Sooronbaev and colleagues are going to speak at medical conferences to inform other healthcare professionals about their progress with the programme.

28. Why does the author mention Temiraly kyzy's story?

A. To show the hardship of being a nurse.

B. To stress the significance of happiness.

C. To call on patients to dance to music.

D. To introduce a new approach to COPD.

29. What does the data in Paragraph 3 show?

A. The recovery rate of COPD.  B. The severity of COPD.

C. The treatments for COPD cases.  D. The various symptoms of COPD.

30. What do we know about pulmonary rehabilitation?

A. It has proved to be effective.  B. It needs more tests on patients.

C. It is a financial ourden for COPD patients.  D. It is widely practiced in Kyrgyzstan.

31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. The programme will be extended.

B. The programme is being taught in schools
C. The programme will be difficult to practice.

D. The programme lacks professional support.

D

Squirrels eavesdrop on（窃听）the chatter of songbirds to work out whether the appearance of a predator（食肉动物）is cause for alarm, researchers have found. Animals including squirrels have previously been found to eavesdrop on cries of alarm from other creatures. But the latest study suggests animals may also keep an ear out for everyday chitchat among other species as a way to assess whether there is trouble around.

Writing in the journal Plos One, researchers reported on how they made their discovery by observing 67 grey squirrels as they wandered about different areas in the residential regions of Oberlin.

After 30 seconds of observing a squirrel, researchers played it a recording of the call of a red-tailed hawk（鹰）, which lasted a couple of seconds-and their behaviour in the next 30 seconds was monitored. The squirrels were then played a three-minute recording of several different species of songbird chattering on a feeder.

The results revealed that in the 30 seconds after hearing the hawk call, the squirrels increased the percentage of their time spent"vigilant"（警惕）compared with before the call, while they also looked up more often to scan the environment. Squirrels that were played bird chatter raised their heads less often during the recording and the number of these"look-ups"dropped off faster over time.

"Recognition of bird chatter as a sign of safety is likely adaptive, as squirrels that can safely reduce their vigilance level in the presence of bird chatter probably are able to increase foraging（觅食）success, "the authors wrote.

The team suggested that with levels of human-made noise increasing, squirrels may find it harder to eavesdrop on birds, meaning they may have to spend more time being alert and less time foraging.

Dr Jakob Bro-Jorgensen, co-author of the study from Oberlin College, said："The study calls attention to how animals can gather information from their environment by using cues that may at first glance seem irrelevant, "he said."And it makes you wonder how the more and more pervasive（无处不在的）impact of human activities on natural soundscapes may reduce survival of wildlife in ways we haven't thought of."

32. What does the new research find about squirrels' eavesdropping?

A. It lacks scientific evidence.

B. It is more widespread and broader.

C. It needs to be further investigated.

D. It is contradictory to previous findings.

33. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?

A. The subject of the experiment.

B. The findings of the experiment.

C. The process of the experiment.

D. The purpose of the experiment.

34. Why is recognition of bird chatter as a sign of safety important for squirrels?

A. They can escape from potential risks.

B. It helps them to forage food successfully.

C. They can adapt to a new environment quickly.

D. It ensures their safety when playing with their mates.

35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning the research?

A. Its impacts.   B. Its potential application.

C. Its limitations.   D. Its follow-up study.

Do you know that one of the main causes of some aches and pains is lack of sleep? Sleeping well is essential for a healthy life.

  36   Sleeping is an activity that no healthy person can do without. Eight hours a day of our entire lives are focused on being able to sleep. It's an activity that's responsible for relaxing us after a long day of work and study. Meanwhile it can recharge our energies to perform to the maximum the next day.

Getting quality sleep has many benefits. It can help you to:

  37 

Minimize illness.

Reduce heart disease.

Have greater concentration on your activities.

People need different amounts of sleep. It's generally suggested that the proper amount should be 8 hours.   38   But this would not be possible at all if there were no quality elements that provide us with a good rest，the pillow，for example.

By getting a good pillow you can enjoy great hours of sleep and deep rest.   39   That's because they are the pillows preferred by the general public since they can avoid dust.

Another type of pillow highly recommended to those who want a good rest is the knee pillow for side sleepers. This type of pillow is placed between the legs at bedtime. They are designed specially for those who prefer to sleep in the fetal（胎儿）position.   40   

Also recommended，for example，are body pillows that focus on keeping the spine（脊柱） level. Some are made for you to sleep on your back or stomach all night long.

A. Which pillows help us sleep well？

B. Improve mood，and reduce anxiety.

C. Why is it so important to sleep well?

D. Recently, natural pillows have become very fashionable.

E. In fact, many will feel good by sleeping 6 or 7 hours.

F. However, in most cases not everyone can get 8-hour sleep.

G. This type of pillow can help improve blood flow in the legs.

George's mother was very poor. Instead of having bright blazing fires in winter, she had nothing to burn but dry sticks, which George picked up from under the trees and hedges.

One fine day in July, his sick mother sent George to the woods, which were about two miles from the village in which she lived. He was to stay there all day to get as much wood as he could collect.

It was a bright, sunny day, and George worked very hard; so that by the time the sun was high, he was hot, and wished for a cool place where he might rest and eat his dinner. While he hunted for a spot about the bank he saw among the moss some fine, wild strawberries, which were a bright scarlet with ripeness.

"How good these will be my bread and butter!"thought George. Lining his little cap with leaves he set to work eagerly to gather all he could find and then seated himself by the brook.

It was a pleasant place, and George felt happy and contented. He thought how much his mother would like to see him there, and to be there herself, instead of in her dark close room in the village.

George thought of all this and just as he was lifting the first strawberry to his mouth, he said to himself, "How much mother would like these！"and he stopped, putting the strawberry back again. "Shall I save them for her？"said he, thinking how much they would refresh her, yet still looking at them with a longing eye.

"I will eat half, and take the other half to her, "said he at last, and he divided them into two heaps（t）. But each heap looked so small, that he put them together again.

"I will only taste one"thought he. As he again lifted it to his mouth, he saw that he had taken the finest and he put it back. "I will keep them all for her, "he said with great happiness, and he covered them up nicely, ready to take home.

He stood up and started to get more and more wood until the sun began to sink.

    Just after he had thrown down his wood, he heard his mother’s weak voice calling him from the next room.
