24、 Many people say that the United States is a paradise for the children, a struggling field for the youth and a tomb for the aged. However, the situation is quite different in Australia. Different people have their own ways for enjoyment and their own worlds of pastime.
Most children often work hard in school since they have to face various exams. After school they do not want to confine themselves to books any more. Instead, they put aside their schoolbags at home and sneak quickly to some quiet street comers for their games. Bigger children like to shoulder their large kites to some steep cliffs, and jump to fly in the sky with their kites.
Some old people often get up early in the morning and go to parks to do newspaper reading. After breakfast, they come to horse races, dog races and sometimes car races for betting. If he wins, he will feed himself a good dinner. In the evening, they stay at home, watching TV sometimes with grandchildren. Some of the aged also enjoy fishing and gardening.
Young people prefer to go outing for holidays. At the weekends, they go to the seashore for swimming or to the forest for hunting and camping, or mountainous areas for picnicking. Then in the evenings on Sundays, they start their long bumper-to-bumper drive back on the highways. Nobody seems in a hurry.
The Australian government also encourages its people to have more relaxation after work. Sometimes, certain kind of financial help is distributed to people going on holidays and public holidays are purposely set on Monday or Friday so that Australians may have a longer weekend for enjoyment. They think people can work better only after they get a full relaxation. And it grows out of this idea that relaxation comes the top priority(优先权)for enjoyment in Australia.

“Save the whales!"That's what the picture on lake Smith’s bedroom wall said. Jake liked having a picture that said something important: that showed he cared. He just never expected to get a chance to save a real whale,one right in his own neighborhood.
It was a Saturday morning when the newspaper first reported the whales' coming. A group of the animals were swimming close to the beach in Jake's hometown. All the local people rushed out to. the beach to see them. They were expecting a beautiful show,better than a movie,but nothing they'd have to do anything about.

Suddenly,Jake and his family and all the others were no longer sightseers. They had to become rescuers. A few people ran towards the animal. They pushed and tried to force the whale back into the water,but it was no use.
An animal rescue(营救)service team soon arrived in a truck with heavy lifting machinery,to help move the animal. Jack and his family couldn't do much on the beach,so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers. At least,Jake thought,they could help in some way.
Back at the beach, they offered the food to the rescuers and were happy to see that it was needed. It was getting dark. Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shined the headlights on the sand. The rescuers would not give up. After trying many times they were finally able to lift the whale into the water.

26、 Apps are replacing teachers as technology plays a bigger role in language education. Ma Ruining has been studying English for a long time, but her teachers are not in the classroom -they're in the palms of her hands. Ma has several English learning apps, which cater to users who want to improve their English proficiency, from listening to speaking, loaded onto her smart phone. Although she's tired from eight hours' office work, Ma, who is a product manager, does not spend her leisure time just relaxing watching TV dramas as she used to. She takes out her mobile phone and begins to practice her spoken English with an app called Liulishuo ("speaking fluently" in English). A 10-second audio clip by native speakers is then played on the app as Ma starts her lesson, after which the app asks her to imitate ( 模 仿 ) the piece. The app then evaluates her performance on a scale from 1 to 100 and gives feedback on her weaknesses to allow her to make improvements.
Ma, 26. "I graduated two years ago, but I wanted to improve my spoken English to study or travel abroad some day in the future." Ma first heard about Liulishuo from an article shared on WeChat.

27、 Spring is here, the colourful flowers are seen everywhere but it is a pity that many of us are not able to smell them while enjoying the colourful flowers.
Growing levels of air pollution from the factories and cars have reduced flower fragrances(芳香) by up to 90 percent in the US, compared with pre-industrial levels 100 years ago.
But if the trend is simply unpleasant for human noses, it may be life-dangerous for bees and butterflies.
Many insects find flowers by following the scent produced by those flowers.
The increasing pollution makes it difficult for them to find the flowers and feed on their nectar (花蜜).
Scientists have already found that flowers produce scent molecules (气味分子) that mix with polluted things, which breaks down the plants’ sweet smell.
With more pollution in the air, the scent molecules don’t remain powerful as long and travel shorter distances on the wind. In the mid-19th century, when pollution levels were first recorded, scent molecules would have been able to travel some 1,000 to 1,200 meters. Today, in the polluted air of large cities, scents may only make it some 200 to 300 meters.
Also, pollution from polluted air may fool the bee’s “nose”, making their search for flowers all the more difficult.
In a paper published recently in Scientific Reports, scientists said that the nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in polluted air could change many chemicals that work together to give a flower its special smell.
“This”, researchers said, “could prevent honeybees from reaching their flowers and prevent the pollination (授粉) of some of the world’s food crops.” Or, this could put in danger agricultural harvests worldwide.
But the bees seem to have learned to get used to the changing world. “In nature honeybees use their special eyes and flower smell to find out where a flower is for the first time,” the researchers said.
【1】According to the article, researchers have recently found that ________.
A.reduced flower fragrances have resulted in the dying out of many bees and butterflies
B.reduced flower fragrances are connected to growing levels of air pollution
C.polluted things in the air prevent flowers from producing scent molecules
D.flowers today can’t produce enough nectar because of air pollution
【2】What do the underlined words “the trend” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指的是)?
A.Increasing air pollution.
B.Reduce flower fragrances.
C.Human beings’ worse sense of smell.
D.A growing number of power plants and cars.
【3】The scent molecules a plant produces are mainly to ________.
A.help flowers to produce nectar B.prevent insects from eating the plant
C.draw attention from bees and butterflies D.clear up polluted things in the air
【4】We can infer (推断) from the article that ________.
A.future food crops won’t depend on bees to complete their pollination
B.bees have great advantages in their senses compared to humans
C.world food crop production is likely to fall greatly in the near future
D.some bees have successfully get over the challenge of reduced flowers fragrance
28、In a cold winter, a couple had to move out from their big house because their company went bankrupt. The husband worked day and night to s【1】 the family but with no care of his wife. So she thought, “He doesn’t love me any more. He just thinks about his b【2】.”

We moved to the small apartment, and there was only a shower in such a freezing winter. But I found that if one person took the shower first, the room could get a little warm, so every time I r【9】 to the bathroom first. I was thinking that, when she took the shower, the room would get warmer by at least 1℃, 2℃ or 3℃. Now I can’t give her a comfortable life, bring her to the expensive restaurant, buy expensive dresses for her, but at l【10】, I can give her 1℃ love.
