21、   Heavy smoke. Burned-down houses. Burnt land. These can be seen in Australia because of bush fires that burned from September 2019 to March 2020. Around 1.25 billion animals died in the fires, a reporter reported. 

Like millions of others around the world, 18-year-old Rachel Ratelle from the US saw news of the fires. She felt sad as she watched a poor koala(考拉) trying to climb a tree to safety. 

But unlike many people, she decided to do something about it.

She looked for information about wildlife saving organizations in Australia to find out what they needed most. Many groups were asking for hand-made pouches(育儿袋) for animals like koalas and kangaroos that lost their homes and parents in the fires. 

Ratelle wanted to provide these things, but there was just one problem.

“I’ve never sewn(缝) in my life,” Ratelle said. “Giving money seemed like something too simple. I wanted to directly help these animals by doing something myself, so I decided to learn how to sew.”

Over the next month, Ratelle bought her own sewing machine and taught herself how to sew by watching online videos. She sewed 25 pouches of different sizes and sent them to wildlife saving organizations in Australia. 

A week later, she received a photo from an organization with a baby kangaroo in one of her pouches. She said it was a great feeling.

“It made me feel like I gave much help to the world, and it showed how a simple act of kindness can go a long way,” Ratelle said. “I plan to use my new sewing skills to help other animals and people.”

23、   Imagine a perfect day: the weather is good and everything seems fine. When, suddenly, your mobile phone loses its signal, the television has no programs, and you can't get online with your computer.

What has happened? These are just the types of problems a solar storm(太阳风暴) might cause. You may not think of storms as putting out society in danger. But today, a solar storm is as serious as other bad events, such as earthquakes.

A solar storm is caused by solar flares(太阳耀斑): large explosions(爆炸) near the sun that can give off lots of energy. The strong energy can stop the satellite systems(卫星系统) that control our computers, telecom networks and so on. These storms can even cause the power to go out for weeks or months.

In the past few months, scientists have recorded some of the strongest sun flares in years. The most recent one happened around Valentine's Day, 2011. It caused radio and satellite signals to go down in some northern cities in China.

“Solar flare activity is going to be much worse than what we've seen in the past. We're not talking about a few cities losing power, it could be half of the country, maybe more.”SolarStormWarning. com, a US website about space weather, warned.

Scientists say that little can be done to predict such a storm. Governments around the world are trying to work together before the next storm, although they are not sure when that may happen.

A.earthquakes happen B.mobile phones have no signals

b. people can't get online with their computers

c. solar storms happen

d. satellite systems are stopped

A.a­b­c­d B.a­c­d­b

C.c­a­b­d D.c­b­a­d

【4】The writer wrote the passage mainly to________.
