1、 Da Mao(大毛) and Er Shun(二顺) are two giant pandas (大熊猫) that have made the Calgary Zoo in Canada their home since 2018. They were expected to live there until 2023. 64. However, they will come back to China earlier than expected.
The zoo announced the news on May 12, saying the decision was made due to COVID-19 travel restrictions (限制). The restrictions have made it more challenging for the zoo to get bamboo for the pandas to eat, Global News reported.
65. According to the zoo, 99 percent of a giant panda's diet (饮食) is made up of fresh bamboo. Each adult giant panda eats around 40 kg of bamboo a day.
“We believe the best and safest place for Er Shun and Da Mao to be during these challenging times is where bamboo is easy to get,” said Dr CI e ment Lanthier, president of the Calgary Zoo.

24、Real Friend,Real Meaning
We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen, we will miss the meaning behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog.” and that’s friendly. But a “lucky dog”? There’s a bit of envy (嫉妒) in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you observe your luck.
Just think of all the things you have to be “thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It’s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture (姿态)? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.
【1】What mistakes often make us feel bad except money according to the writer?
A. Mistakes about people.
B. Mistakes about housework.
C. Mistakes about work.
D. Mistakes about our families.
【2】The underlined word "it" in the second paragraph refers to ______.
A. being friendly B. a bit of envy
C. lucky dog D. your luck
【3】We can know the real meaning of our friends’ words by ______ while listening.
A. asking them to say slowly
B. looking in their eyes
C. repeating their words
D. writing down their words
【4】What does the writer want to tell us in the passage?
A.We often make mistakes when we talk with others.
B.We should think carefully before talking.
C.What to do when we are talking with others.
D.Try to avoid mistakes while communicating with people.
25、Believe it or not, my friends often come first in my heart because I want to make them happy. If anyone asks me for help, I always say “Yes!”. “Can you help me with English practice?” Grace asked me on the first day after she became my deskmate. “Of course,” I replied without hesitation. Grace has been working really hard on her studies and she needed my help though I didn’t have much time left for her.
One day after school, while I was doing lots of homework, Grace’s phone call came. She complained (抱怨) a lot and it made me feel bored, but I still felt bad about saying no. When Grace ended the call, it was 00:15 a.m. But I still had homework left and I wanted to sleep. This was bad for a junior high school student in Grade Three who is going to take an important exam this June.
Finally I began to cry. I felt so tired and realized that the stress had an effect on my health. I tried to get myself out. Studying is more important than other things, so Grace has to come the second. It’s now important for me to say no, no, no.
“Can you give me a hand?” Grace asked. “Sorry… I just have to review my chemistry notes,” I answered. “All right, it’s up to you,” she said. I felt completely relaxed when I heard her reply. Anyway, it’s not so hard to say no at all.
To be honest, I have felt much happier since learning to refuse. I have more time to spend on my study at present. I still try my best to help others, but sometimes I say no because I know everyone has a limit.

26、Every year thousands of people get hurt or lose their lives when they are crossing the road. Most of them are old people and children.

How can we reduce (减少) traffic accidents? All of us must obey the traffic rules. For the drivers, they shouldn’t drive too fast. If they drive too fast, it will be very difficult to stop the cars in a very short time. For the pedestrians, it’s very important to be careful when they are walking on the road.
