27、After he retired, Chan Jae Lee, who lives in Brazil, decided to spend his days taking care of his two young grandchildren, driving them back and forth to school and taking the opportunity to spend some quality time with them. But when Lee’s daughter moved her family to Korea, he was left with a gaping hole in his life. “All of a sudden, I had nothing to do and I missed them terribly,” Lee said.
In 2015, Lee’s third grandchild was born to his son Ji. He traveled to New York to meet the baby and it was there that Ji suggested his dad begin drawing pictures for his grandkids and posting them on Instagram as a way to keep in touch. “I liked the idea and found a purpose to draw and I learned how to stay in touch with my grandkids around the world,” Lee said.
Lee shares new pictures daily, which are watercolors of toys, vivid landscapes and imaginative animals—all of them are full of Lee’s imagination. And he draws birthday messages and his favourite places in Korea, and uses his paintings to teach the kids about important Korean traditions. Right now, Lee is able to use his art project to create a bond with the youngest members of his family.
Lee has no formal training in art and he teaches himself how to use different techniques to draw, but fans have fallen in love with his pictures. “The reaction was amazing. I couldn’t have imagined it in my wildest dreams,” Lee said. “What started as a small family project has drawn great attention.” He is called Grandpa Chan by his followers and achieves fame.
Lee has even been able to sell some drawings online to help fund more trips to see his grandchildren, but the biggest reward for his Instagram influence has been the reaction he’s gotten from his followers. “Seeing what I’ve done, many people start to reconnect to their own passion for drawing and painting and many people share their stories about their grandparents and parents,” Lee said.

28、Beavers (河狸) are famous for building impressive dams in streams. They have a rare ability to transform the landscapes they live in. This is primarily because beavers need to use their dams to hide from predators (捕食者) like bears, wolves, and river otters. Beavers live in dome-shaped constructions within the ponds that can only be accessed by underwater entrances. Inside, they are safe from threats. Besides, they can also store food inside and keep warm in winter.
Beavers build dams up to 5 meters high, and the largest one, in Alberta, Canada, is 850 meters long. Most dams are built from pieces of wood, with stones at the base and a sealing layer of mud and plants on the upstream side. The dams are thicker at the bottom with a shallow slope on the upstream side, meaning that the weight of the water pushes down on the dam, keeping it in place and allowing it to hold back large volumes of water. Their engineering work is so effective that beaver dams can last for decades.
Beaver dams can promote the creation and development of stable wetland ecosystems, one of the most productive ecosystems in the world, which serve as the home of rare and endangered species. In addition, the dams can help water flow to the newly created ponds, thus, preventing flooding in areas downstream of the rivers where these dams are built. They also protect the land from soil erosion (侵蚀, 腐蚀) and block pollutants in the water flow downstream into major water bodies.
However, Ph. D. student Robert Needham, from the International Centre for Ecohydraulics Research at Southampton, expressed a great deal of his concern about the possibility of beaver dams blocking the upstream and downstream migration (迁移) of Atlantic salmon (鲑鱼) and trout during their reproduction seasons, as well as affecting habitat (栖息地) quality. Thus, people should control the construction of beaver dams, especially in human-inhabited areas, near agricultural fields and pasture lands.
【1】What is the main reason for beavers to build dams?
A.Keeping warm in winter.
B.Storing food for later use.
C.Protecting themselves from predators.
D.Saving their habitats from river flooding.
【2】What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A.The living environment of beavers.
B.The features of beaver dams.
C.The methods of building beaver dams.
D.The introduction to the largest beaver dam.
【3】What can we infer from paragraph 3?
A.River pollution poses a big danger to beavers.
B.Beaver dams have great ecological(生态的)significance.
C.Stable wetland ecosystems are important to dam construction.
D.Beaver dams serve as the place of reproduction for some species.
【4】Which of the following may Robert Needham agree with?
A.People may be disturbed by too many beaver dams.
B.Beaver dams make many sea animals leave their habitats.
C.Farmers could benefit a lot from beavers engineering work.
D.Beaver dams promote an increase of some species in the Atlantic
29、Since graduating from middle school, this year's new 9th-grade class is adapting to (适应) the challenges of high school, a difficult process (过程) for many students. Some of the challenges the students must get used to are the increasing difficulty of schoolwork, the amount of homework, and the change in the grading system among other things.
“It's a bit harder than middle school, but that is to be expected from every ongoing year,” David Palacios, 9th-grade student, said.
Adaptation is also influenced by stories the freshmen hear before entering. These stories create a negative (消极的) idea of high school, as they are usually bad stories about classes, teachers, or other topics.
“Stories I've heard of high school are exaggerated (夸张的),” Palacios said.
The school is fighting against student fear by providing information about high school, even before they enter. This year, the 9th-grade class entered school on August 8, one day earlier than other high school students. This was done to help the freshmen by solving any doubts they could have.
“In general, they adapt well, because since middle school they have been given some information on what high school is,” Ana Isabel Garcia, high school advisor, said.
The changes faced in 9th grade are more challenging than those found in middle school. However, after experiencing the first two months of 9th grade, many 9th graders agree that 9th grade is not as hard as they thought it would be.
“It's not that different from middle school,” Palacios said.
High school is harder than other grades as it's the final step students take before they enter the real world. Students must see the important role high school plays as it teaches them many skills that will help them improve their future.
“They do well because they come in with a good attitude (态度) and wish to adapt well,” Garcia said.
【1】What did Palacios think of the freshman challenges?
A.They happened as expected.
B.They were hard to fight off.
C.They would disappear soon.
D.They mostly focused on grades.
【2】Why did Palacios' school require the 9th graders to enter the school on August 8?
A.To show them around the campus.
B.To help them deal with their nervousness.
C.To let them experience high school life in advance.
D.To avoid them hearing bad stories about high school.
【3】What kind of feeling did Garcia express in her words?
A.Shock.
B.Worry.
C.Annoy.
D.Satisfaction.
【4】Where is this text most likely from?
A.A personal diary.
B.A travel guide.
C.A news report.
D.A letter.

“Mom, I’m sick and tired of your asking about me!” Daniela shouted. “You have to understand that I’m no longer a kid! I have every right to do whatever I wish only if I don’t bring people trouble. Mom, I want to let you know this!”
“Daniela, what has come over you?!” Frances questioned angrily at her daughter’s strange behavior. “I’m surprised at what you’ve just told me! Let me know who is the force behind this silly attitude of yours. Your friends with bad habits? I guess it may be! Your dad and I, my sweetheart, have always wanted the best for you but here you’re trying to tell me how grown you are!”
“Yes, I want you to know that I’m grown-up now! Mom, I’m fifteen! I know what’s good for me and what’s not! Tara is just a year older than I am but she does what she likes in her home! But here I am, at my age, being asked of where I have been and am going, whom I am hanging out with and all those! Mom, you know what? I’m tired of all these!” Daniela said.
“Don’t be childish, Daniela!” Mom advised, wanting to take hold of her shoulders. “Tara isn’t my daughter and my daughter isn’t Tara! I want you to understand that her family and ours are quite different in all areas. I don’t want to draw any comparison between us now! You’ve always been a good girl, Daniela! Why this sudden change of character in the last few days?!” “Mom, if you really care to know, that’s none of your business! Feel free to let dad know what took place when he comes back from work! Bye!” Daniela angrily replied to her and rushed out directly to her uncle’s home.
