24、The olinguito(小尖吻浣熊) is new to science. Although it has been living in the cloud forests of South America for some time.

Scientists say the olinguito is the first new carnivore(食肉动物) discovered in the Americas in more than 30 years. It is a hairy orange-brown creature with a sweet face and big eyes. The animal has small rounded ears and lives in the trees. An adult weighs one kilogram and measures about 75 centimeters with half of those centimeters taken up by its ringed tail Most of the time. It likes to eat fruit, although it also eats meat. Active at night, the animal has lived in Colombia and Ecuador for a long time. But the olinguito did not exist in science books before now.

   Kristofer Helgen, director at the National Museum in Washington, led the research team that confirmed the existence of the olinguito. It had been mistaken more than a century ago for a look-alike animal -- a similar but larger olingo(尖吻浣熊). Mr. Helgen had been studying olingos in a museum for ten years. At that time, he observed a difference in the size and shape of the heads and teeth. That led him on an effort to prove he was looking at an animal never before described by science. He got lucky when he communicated with a zoologist in Ecuador. The animal expert there made a short video that shows an olinguito in the trees. The video confirms that the oiinguito is different from the olingo.

Mr. Helgen says tens of thousands of olinguitos live in the wild and are not in danger of disappearing forever. Human beings, however, are moving closer to the olinguito habitat in the Andean cloud forests. The research team estimates that 42 percent of historic olinguiio habitat has been removed.

【1】What does the olinguito look like?

A．It is orange -brown and has a rounded face and small eyes.

B．It is green-brown and has a sweet face and big eyes.

C．It has a sweet face, big eyes and small, rounded ears.

D．It has a sweet face, small eyes and big ,rounded cars.

【2】The olinguito is different from the olingo in ________

A．colors and height

B．heads and teeth

C．colors and heads

D．height and teeth

【3】What does Mr. Helgen probably do?

A．A doctor.

B．A teacher.

C．A reporter.

D．A scientist.

【4】Which is wrong about the animal olinguito?

A．It is a new kind of animal in the cloud forests of South America.

B．An adult olinguito is one kilogram heavy and is about 75 centimeters tall.

C．It lives in the trees and never comes out of them.

D．It only comes out at might, and it’s hard to find them.

【5】This article may be ________

Have you ever been so worried about something that you have a headache or even can’t sleep at night? Then you cannot pay enough attention during a test or in your study. If so, then you know that is stress. You are worried too much about something. The bad feeling in your mind can make you angry, sad, or scared, and can even give you a stomachache or a headache.

  However, some kind of stress is good. Excitement might happen when you are called to give a speech at school. You feel nervous but excited. This kind of stress can help you to get things well done. And you may do a better job in your test if the stress pushes you to prepare more beforehand.

On the other hand, bad stress can last long if you are unable to come over your problems. You may not feel well, if your parents are having a quarrel, if a family member is badly ill, if you’re doing poorly at school, or if anything else makes you unhappy. That kind of stress isn’t going to help you. And it can actually let you do worse in your daily life. The best way to fight the stress is to have a balanced life. Make sure you get enough sleep and eat properly. Have some regular exercise. You should take some time for fun. Get advice from your parents, teachers and friends. Soon after that, you’ll probably get away with your stress.

According to a latest report, several schools in China are using a special kind of uniform to watch their students’ daily life and stop them from playing truant.

Such uniforms have tracking chips（追踪芯片）in them which can record the time and date a student enters the school and a short video that parents can see through a mobile app.

Once a student doesn’t have class without asking for leave, an alarm will send messages to tell both teachers and parents about it. And an automatic（自动）voice alarm will go off as long as a student leaves school without permission（允许）. A GPS system also follows a student’s movements once he has left the school.

Eleven schools in Guizhou have introduced the uniforms which are developed by Guizhou Guanyu Technology. But the company’s project manager said the school would not use the tracking system during out-of-school hours unless a pupil was missing. The project manager said that fewer and fewer students had been absent from school since the uniforms were used in some schools.

However, the uniforms have also been criticized. “If you were a child, would you like to be watched 24 hours a day?” One Weibo user asked. “Don’t children have human rights and privacy（隐私）?” Added another user.

A headmaster in Guizhou said that although teachers were able to track students at all times, they actually don’t use this technology often.

“We choose not to check the position of students after school, but when the students are missing and playing truant, the uniforms can help to find out where they are.” the headmaster said.

【1】What are the uniforms in the passage like?

A．Colourful.

B．Smart.

C．Expensive.

D．Comfortable.

【2】What does the underlined phrase “playing truant” mean in Chinese?

A．迟到

C．开小差

D．旷课

【3】What do the second and third paragraphs talk about?

A．The reasons for creating the uniforms.

B．How the uniforms work.

C．The materials of the uniforms.

D．Why the uniforms can follow the students’ movements.

【4】Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?

A．The uniforms have already been widely used in the schools of China.

B．The headmaster said the schools would usually use the technology in two cases.

C．With the uniforms, teachers can know where the students are at any time.

D．Some people don’t support that schools should ask students to wear the uniforms.

【5】What does this passage mainly tell us about?

A．Something about a special kind of uniform.

B．The ways to watch students.

C．Some important school rules.

D．The role of school uniforms.
