One night, as I was driving dwn the rad, I fund smething was sitting in the middle f the rad. A few secnds later, I realized I was lking at a large turtle (海龟). Afraid f it being crashed by cars, s I pulled ver, ran acrss the rad and dragged the turtle t safety. But I’d made ne big mistake.
I had heard that the best way t pick up a turtle withut hurting it was picking it by the tail in rder nt t get bitten. S I’d made that big mistake. While the turtle turned ut OK generally, I was determined t figure ut hw t mve a turtle prperly. I needed t find smene wh dealt with turtles. I fund the Ontari Turtle Cnservatin Centre.

“Ninety percent f injured turtles brught in are caused by cars. These turtles spend a lt f time n land. And they d travel many kilmeters n land fr a variety f reasns, t find a nesting spt, r t hang ut fr the summer r winter. Turtles knw where they want t g. S, just keep them ging in the directin they want t g and yu may have saved a turtle’s life,” Dr. Sue said.
Once an injured turtle arrives at the center, there are medical facilities (设备) ready t g, including an X-ray machine. That’s when the team gets t wrk with healing injuries, and help their patient.

The British are knwn fr their sense f humr. Hwever, it is ften difficult fr freigners t understand their jkes. The main pint t remember is that the British ften use understatement.
Understatement means saying less than yu think r feel. Fr example, if smene gets very wet in a shwer f rain, he might say, “It’s a little damp (潮湿的) utside.” Or, if smene is very implite and shuts at anther persn, smene else might say, “She isn’t exactly friendly.” Understatement is ften used in unpleasant situatin r t make anther persn lk silly. Understatement plays an imprtant part in British humr.
Anther key t understanding British humr is that the British like t make fun f themselves as well as thers. They ften laugh abut the silly and unpleasant things that happen t ur everyday life when smene accidentally falls ver in the street. They als like t make jkes abut peple frm different classes f sciety. They like t make jkes abut their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What’s mre, the British lve t watch cmedies (喜剧) abut peple wh d nt knw hw t behave in sciety. The cmedies series Mr. Bean is a gd example f this kind f humr.
Mr. Bean is the character created by British actr Rwan Atkinsn in 1990. Mr. Bean desn’t talk ften, and instead he uses his bdy mvement and facial expressins t make peple laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr. Bean s funny is that he des things that adults in the real wrld cannt d. Mr. Bean is ppular in many cuntries arund the wrld because yu d nt have t speak English t understand the humr. Because f this, many peple have becme familiar with the British sense f humr.
28. Why is it difficult fr freigners t understand British jkes?
A. The British ften enlarge the fact.
B. The British try t understate smething .
C. British jkes are cnnected with many different cultures.
D. British jkes are nt as funny as jkes in ther cuntries.
29. The authr explains understatement by _______.
A. describing a prcessB. using examples
C. fllwing time rderD. making cmparisns
30. Mr. Bean makes laugh by ______.
A. telling funny stries
B. cpying hw thers behave
C. making jkes abut thers’ accent
D. using his bdy mvement and facial expressins
31. What can be the best title fr the text?

W: Jasn, have yu read tday’s newspaper?
M: N. I was surfing the Internet the whle mrning. S what is in the paper?
W: A ship that was carrying 14,600 live sheep frm Rmania turned ver in Prt f Midia in Rmania last week. The ship was sailing t Saudi Arabia.
M: I hpe nbdy died in it.
W: The ship’s crew were all saved. Several different grups wrked t rescue the sheep, but at the end f several days, nly arund 75 sheep were saved.
M: That’s really bad news. I dn’t think it’s a gd idea t mve large numbers f live animals n ships.
W: I agree. Even when ships sail safely, the cnditins ften aren’t gd fr animals.
M: Yu’re right. I watched a vide n the Internet in April last year. It shwed thusands f sheep dying in the heat n a trip frm Australia t the Middle East.
W: Pr animals! I dn’t think live animals can survive in such weather as tday’s in a ship.

W: Gd mrning, bys and girls. My name is Tiera Fletcher. I’m glad t be invited here by yur head teacher t tell yu abut what I lved ding as a yung girl. When I was little, I was really interested in mathematics. My mm was wrking fr a large cmpany. She helped her cmpany keep track f mney. She began t teach me abut the basic knwledge f mathematics befre I turned five. I really lved dealing with numbers. I’d use math t help her with her shpping. We wuld g t the grcery stre. She wuld have me tell her hw much we wuld spend n the things. S that’s hw I practiced math. Since I didn’t cmplain abut it, my mm understd that I must have a lve fr math. When I was yung, I als lved drawing and building things. When I was drawing a huse, I wuld actually want t build it. I’d use simple materials t build it. Tday, I wrk as an engineer at Being. I d what I truly lve ding. I hpe yu all can find ut what yu truly lve and d it in the future.
