26、 Four wild young pandas were found at different times walking around with their mothers in a nature reserve in northwestern China in recent months, a report said on Sunday. Infrared (红外线的) cameras in Baishuijiang National Nature Reserve in Gansu Province caught four young pandas following their mothers and learning survival skills, such as feeding themselves, in the first quarter of 2019.
It was the latest finding of new young pandas in the area, which has the largest population of wild pandas among China’s 67 nature reserves. The fourth national survey on pandas, released in 2015, said there were 110 wild pandas living in the Baishuijiang area. A total of 1,864 lived in China.
The Baishuijiang National Nature Reserve has used infrared cameras since 2012 to monitor pandas, but this is the first time that four pairs of pandas have been found. “In the past, we found one pair every quarter at most,” said He Liwen, director of the Baishuijiang reserve. The young pandas’ body sizes suggested that two of them were a year and a half old, while the other two were almost 2 years old.
“The four pairs were caught in different places far away from each other. It’s very easy to see the differences,” he said. “So we can be sure of the number. “Baishuijiang staff members also found rare wildlife, including golden monkeys, Asian golden cats and gazelles.
The reserve director attributed (把……归因于……) the good news to the government’s hard work and local people’s efforts to protect the natural habitat over many years. “It’s a process of continuous, growing progress,” he said.

27、 Asking for help is a sign of strength rather than weakness. In American culture, the independent individual is seen as their ideal. As the University of Missouri at St. Louis states on its website under the heading Key American Values, “Americans have been trained since very early in their lives to consider themselves as separate individuals who are responsible for their own situations in life and their own destinies.” The value also makes them think they can do everything themselves, and makes them feel badly about asking for help when they need it.
And when it comes to work situations, when they think about asking for help there, sometimes they fear that a request for help would make them look inept. While this has always been true for men, many women in the workplace have felt the need to try twice as hard as their male colleagues and do twice as much to get just as far and to prove their worth. Sometimes when we think about asking for help, our inner voices tell us, “See, if you admit you can’t do this on your own, they’ll see you for the imposter(骗子) you really are.”
But the fact is, even though individualism is on the rise, we can’t do everything by ourselves and we shouldn’t try.
Apple founder Steve Jobs once told the Santa Clara Valley Historical Association about the power of asking for help, and how he “never found anybody who didn’t want to help me when I asked them for help”. He said, at the age of 12, he called Bill Hewlett, co-founder of Hewlett-Packard, on the phone after getting his number from the phone book and asking him for spare parts so he could build a frequency counter(计频器). And Hewlett agreed and offered young Jobs a summer job assembling frequency counters.
“If you’re afraid of failing, you won’t get very far,” Jobs said.
【1】What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A.What key American values are.
B.Asking for help is a sign of strength.
C.Why Americans refuse to ask for help.
D.Americans are responsible for their life.
【2】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “inept” in Paragraph 2?
A.impolite B.Impatient
C.impossible D.incompetent
【3】What can be learned from this US cultural phenomenon?
A.Americans suffer a lot from mutual distrust.
B.Americans lay emphasis on individual values.
C.Americans should learn to build up confidence.
D.Americans see weakness as a sign of strength.
【4】What can we learn from Jobs’ words in the last paragraph?
A.Don’t hesitate to ask for assistance.
B.Be brave to try whatever you want.
C.Failure is the mother of success.
D.Learn to cooperate with others.
28、Life can bring us down from time to time. At some point, you may find yourself in what you will consider as your darkest hour. As you try to find your way out of that bad situation, you should try to remind yourself that there will always be a reason to be grateful.
If you look at your situation now and compare it with someone else who is in much deeper trouble than you, I am sure that you'll find something to be thankful for. We all have our share of problems, but complaining about them so much only makes us blind to the fact that there are the miracles (奇迹) which happen around us each day.
When all your needs are provided, then you should be content and happy. If you have a roof over your head, some proper clothes to wear, enough food on the table, a comfortable place to sleep, clean water to drink and you are free to make your own choices, then you should be happy and grateful. Many people all around the world, especially those who are at war or those in very poor countries, would give anything to be in your shoes.
Even if you lose all your money or possessions and your heart is broken for some reason, as long as you are still alive, then everything you have lost can be regained. If you have a few good friends who will be there to support or help you, then be glad because true friends are hard to find. As long as you have someone to love and someone to love you back, then you are a very fortunate person. Remember to be patient and trust that things will get better.

29、 True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it is lost:—Charles Caleb Colton Just like in any other relationship, arguments and fights are also a part of friendship. You will hardly find friends who have never fought with one another. Whatever the reason is, if a person feels that he is responsible for creating the differences, it is important that he apologizes to his friend.
Though you can use the email, text messages or chat for expressing your apology, the good old way of saying sorry to your friend through a letter will surely have a great effect on him. This will make your friend realize that your efforts of saying sorry are genuine and you really care for him.
Points to Remember:
Timing: Write the letter at the proper time. It is not advisable to put off it for too long.
Words: While writing the letter, what matters the most is that you truly feel sorry.
Sequence: Always begin by apologizing and saying sorry for your mistake. Then explain to him your side of the story. In the third and last paragraph, talk about what his friendship means to you and make a promise of not repeating the mistake.
Delivery: You earn either post it or deliver the letter personally or through someone else. You can also keep it at a location where your friend will be able to find it easily.
Some people may try to point out the friend's mistake while writing the letter. Avoid this completely, as it can make matters worse. The letter has to be brief and should only talk about the subject that has led to your apology. Keep patient and do not expect immediate results. In some cases, it may take time for the person to forgive and forget.
