In 1955, at age 12, I became bsessed with the idea f recrding an album fr ur parents t d smething in celebratin f their wedding day. My sister, brther, and I wuld sing ur favurite sngs fr them.
The recrding was t be kept a secret frm ur parents. I fund a lcal studi, Dunfrd Recrdings, nt t far frm where we lived in Christchurch. I rang and asked the cst f making a recrd.
T pay fr the recrding, I saved the mney I earned frm helping my aunty Mae in the schl hlidays. I called a family friend and persuaded her t accmpany us n the pian. We culdn’t practise with her fr fear f being fund ut, s I gt my sister and brther tgether and we wrked ut a rutine.
I arranged with Aunty Mae, in strictest secrecy, t take us t the studi at the appinted time. We sang ur first tw sngs a cuple f times s they culd select the best versin, but by the time we gt t the third sng we were rather tired, s nly recrded it nce.
Outside the studi dr, I had been hlding the recrd very carefully but my sister snatched it frm me and it rlled ut f its jacket, dwn the stairs, buncing nt the pavement and then nt the rad. Gasp! Hrrr! Mercifully, it was undamaged.
The day came and we excitedly gave ur precius present t ur parents. They were surprised indeed. Hwever, it never ccurred t me that my parents bught a brand-new radigram t play the recrd n.
My parents had been secretly warned by my aunt abut ur surprise, and unknwn t us, they were dwnstairs in the appliance shp buying the radigram while we were upstairs recrding. They actually saw the recrd rll ut nt the street.
Our recrding has becme a wnderful memry f the past.

In 2012, an iPhne fell int my hands. This smart technlgy seemed like the entrance t nly fun and psitive things like chatting with friends and blgging.
Hwever, many years later, I became limited t it. Recent reprts shw that I'm nt alne. Accrding t a study, an average American spends five hurs a day n smart devices (装置) and abut 2.5 f these hurs are spent n messaging, scial media and entertainment apps.
It's hard t explain when the lve and jy I felt fr my iPhne turned int dependency. I fell asleep t my phne every night and wke t it each mrning. I checked the weather app every mrning befre I chse hw t dress fr the day. I used it t help me find my way thrugh a city. I checked my email bx every time I picked my phne up.
Just like with any addictin, my phne dependency began t influence my life. While spending time with family, I'd stare at a small screen n my lap instead f being invlved in cmmunicating with my lved nes. At wrk, my prductivity levels drpped. And then, my fur-year relatinship came t an end. Eventually, I was left with years f memries and a mbile phne that culdn't prvide enjyable cmpany acrss a dinner table and share in the jys f experiencing a cncert.
Nw, I mve thrugh life with mre gals and intentin. I've cut back n my time and attentin t my phne. Instead, I fcus my effrts n being as present as pssible. Truly training the mind t stay present is a lng and challenging rad, but it's imprtant t start smewhere.
I hpe yu'll take a deep lk at yur wn phne habits and reevaluate (再度评估) hw imprtant a rle yu are letting it play in yur life. Whether r nt yu've reached a place in yur life where yur screen time is prblematic, there's n harm in carefully giving yur current practices sme thught.
28.What des the authr mean by saying "I'm nt alne" in Paragraph 2?
A. He takes his iPhne fr cmpany.
B. He has many friends arund him.
C. There're many Americans like him.
D. Blgging brings him great pleasure.
29.What can we learn frm Paragraph 3?
A. The authr was quite cnfused abut sme apps.
B. The authr became hpelessly addicted t his iPhne.
C. The authr was afraid f spending time n his iPhne.
D. The authr never dressed himself accrding t the weather.
30.What des Paragraph 4 mainly fcus n?
A. Why the authr's wrk efficiency drpped.
B. Why the authr finally had phne dependency.
C. Hw the authr bravely crrected his mistakes.
D. Hw the authr's life was negatively affected.
31.What des the authr intend t d in the last paragraph?
A. Persuade peple t live a n-phne life.
B. Advise peple t use their phnes reasnably.
C. Inspire peple t recnsider their rles in life.
D. Encurage peple t spare their time fr wrk.
D
It is reprted that a grwing number f species are in immediate danger f extinctin due t human activities. Therefre, scientists have successfully used satellite cameras t cunt animals in varius envirnments, leading t envirnmentalists an imprtant step frward in mnitring the ppulatin f endangered species t slw dwn the prcess f extinctin.
Fr this research, the satellite WrldView-3 used high-quality pictures t mnitr African elephants mving thrugh frests and grasslands. The autmated (自动化的) system cunted the animals as exactly as humans. The new surveying technique(技术), created by Dr. Isupva with sme ther scientists, allws large areas f land t be scanned in minutes, ffering a better methd fr human bservers t cunt every single animal frm lw-flying airplanes. As it flies acrss the land, a satellite can cllect ver 5,000 km2 f imagery every few minutes, aviding duble cunting.
The ppulatin f African elephants has decreased greatly ver the past century, mainly due t illegal hunting and the destructin f habitats. With nly 40,000-50,000 elephants left in the wild, the species is classified as endangered.
"Crrect mnitring is imprtant if we're t save the species," said Dr. Isupva. "We need t knw where the animals are and hw many animals there are." This study was nt the first t use satellite pictures t mnitr species, but it was the first t reliably mnitr animals mving thrugh a cmplex (复杂的) envirnment — that is, an envirnment that includes areas f pen grasslands, wdlands and s n. "This type f wrk has been dne befre with whales, but f curse the cean is all blue, s cunting is a lt less challenging," said Dr. Isupva. "As yu can imagine, a cmplex envirnment makes it much harder t identify animals."
The researchers believe their wrk shws the benefits f technlgy that supprts envirnmentalists in prtecting bidiversity and slwing the prgress f the mass extinctin.
32.Why did the scientists create satellite cameras?
A. T mnitr illegal hunting.
B. T help the elephants ut f frests.
C. T bserve the living cnditins f wild animals.
D. T crrectly cunt animals in cmplex envirnments.
33.What can we learn abut the new surveying technique?
A. It's nly used n land.
B. Its effect remains t be seen.
C. It cunts animals' number very efficiently.
D. It will take a while t ppularize the technique.
34.What is the cnditin f African elephants?
A. They are hard t cunt.
B. Their number is rapidly decreasing.
C. They are in danger due t the lss f habitat.
D. Their ppulatin is rising due t satellite cameras'help.
35.What is the main idea f this passage?
A. Species are ging extinct at an alarming rate.
B. Satellite cameras mve arund the planet.
C. Cunting endangered species' ppulatin is hard wrk.
D. Scientists used satellite cameras t mnitr and preserve endangered species.

On May 22, 2011, Jplin Missuri was struck by ne f the deadliest trnades in recrded histry. At first, many residents, including me, felt hpeless. It seemed like the end f the wrld. Faced with cnfusin, uncertainly, lss and hmelessness, we lked fr any light t lead us ut f the darkness.
The hme f my parents, wh were in their eighties, was severely damaged. Their rf was blwn away, and the rf frm a nearby schl crashed int the frnt f their huse. In secnds, the huse they had lived in fr years became impssible t live in.
As sn as my parents safely mved, I tried t determine if any f their remaining pssessins culd be saved. Regrettably, I discvered their rf, befre departing fr parts unknwn, had drpped massive amunts f fiberglass insulatin. This pink material made everything appear t be cated in cttn candy, but the glass fibers within it had ruined mst f their furniture and clthing.
My parents had hped, hwever, that I might be able t save sme f their bks and pictures. Unfrtunately, every time I tried t remve a pht album frm a drawer f a bk frm a shelf, the nn - stp rain wet what I was hying t prtect. Between the rain and the glass fibers, it all seemed hpeless.
Trying t fight ff hpelessness, I tk a minute t stand in what was left f my parents' bedrm. When I lked up thrugh their nn-existent prf, I saw gray cluds flating abve me, and suddenly everything seemed s strange. Rain cated my upturned face, flded my eyes, and flwed int my muth. Overwhelmed, I felt like I was drwning, I needed fresh air, s I ran utside.
Standing n my parents' frnt yard in the rain, I culd breathe better but I still had an verwhelming sense f hpelessness.
