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、 Great books can make us knowledgeable and keep our minds growing. But great books are also hard books. How can we go through with great books? Mortimer J. Adler offers us a key to them in his book How to read a book.
Mortimer J. Adler(1902-2001), an American educator and popular writer, was famous as a leading editor(编者) of Encyclopedia Britannica《大英百科全书》in1974.Also, he set up the Great Books of the Western World program and tried to bring great books to common people.
To increase readers reading skill and help them to be active readers, Mortimer wrote How to read a book. It was first published in 1940 which became a bestseller in America and then it was completely rewritten in 1972. Now, it is one of the most successful guides for the general readers.
In this book, Mortimer first explains why we read. He points out that there is a big difference between reading for information and reading for understanding. He also shows that modern media (传媒) have taken much time we once spent reading books. Perhaps we know more about the world than we used to, but it may be questioned that whether modern media has much improved our understanding of the world. Meanwhile, Mortimer thinks there are four levels of reading, from the elementary(初级的) reading to the comparative reading.
Anyway, How to read a book is useful. But the fact is another story. It's said that 70 percent of the readers fail to finish reading it and 90 percent of the reader don't act in the way suggested in the book.

25、 He Jiang, a postgraduate(研究生) in biology, will become the first Chinese student to give a speech in the commencement(毕业典礼) at Harvard University on May 26.
Given the highest honor by the university, He Jiang, who was born in a small village in Hunan Province, said, "People in China often believe that it's useless to study and children from the countryside cannot be successful in the future. However, I cannot agree with them. Education can change a person's life. I hope my experience can encourage the students from the countryside to spare no effort in study and make their dreams come true."
Different from many other families in the village, his parents never thought about finding a job in big cities and leaving their two sons at home without their care. His father was strict about their studies. He and his younger brother studied at home while the other kids in the village played in the fields. Unlike his strict father, his mother took her sons' side when her husband scolded the boys. She preferred to sit with her sons when they studied rather than chat with other women in the village.
Getting the chance to speak at the commencement is no accident. During his first days in Harvard, it was quite difficult for him to follow the professors in class and he was speechless in campus because of his poor English. Instead of giving up, He Jiang spent all his free time on English. He also made friends with natives to improve his spoken English. One year later, he had little difficulty in class and soon became one of the top students in his class. With the encouragement from Professor Diana Eck, He Jiang decided to apply(申请) for the chance to speak at the commencement." Few Chinese students had applied before, but I wanted to have a try. I just want to realize my idea of letting more people hear the voice from China and telling them that China is not what it used to be." said He Jiang. After beating three students from Harvard Kennedy School in the third and final round, He Jiang made it to get the chance to speak at the commencement.
He Jiang will go to Massachusetts Institute of Technology after graduating from Harvard.
【1】Where will He Jiang give the speech?
A.Harvard University. B.Hunan Province.
C.Harvard Kennedy School. D.Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
【2】The underlined part "spare no effort in study" means "______".
A.get ready for study B.try their best in study C.enjoy themselves in study D.be interested in study
【3】Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.He Jiang is the only child in the family.
B.Both of He Jiang's parents were very strict with him.

26、 I am a girl called Yuan Ningfei from Beijing. Now I live in London and I’m a student at City of London School for Girls. In my school, music is not just for people who play an instrument. It is for everyone.
We have music lessons once every week. Not everyone plays a musical instrument, but everyone is expected to learn a little bit about music. After all, it is never too late to pick up an instrument. During our lessons, we learn about musicians like Beethoven and Schumann. We not only listen to the music they composed (作曲), but also learn about their personal history.
We have concerts each grade. And it’s not just musicians who take part in our concerts. Everyone can take part! The students play the main role. Teachers give non-musicians some simple percussion (打击乐器) instruments because they’re easier to play. When I was in Grade 7, my classmates and I performed(表演) for our parents. I have a few friends who don’t play music. But they played these percussion instruments for that concert. I asked them what it felt like. One of my friends said, “It made me feel confident even if I didn’t think I could be there!”
Except the concerts, we have many other musical activities as well. Last month, I took part in the Young Musician of the Year Competition, which was organized (组织)by my school this year. I played the piano and won an award (奖项). I felt like I was a star performer onstage. I was so proud!
We all love music, and we believe music is an important part of life and that everyone should have the right to enjoy it.
