24、 The toucan (巨嘴鸟) is a colourful bird. Take a look at these facts about the toucan, and you may learn something you didn't know before!
·Where do they live?
Toucans can be found in the tropical (热带) forests of South America. Their home is in danger. It is advised to avoid buying rainforest wood and to protect the habitat (栖息地) of toucans.
·What do they look like?
Toucans have a black body and white throat. The colourful beak (鸟喙) is about 8 inches long and makes up 1/3 of the bird's total length. It may look pretty big, but thankfully for the toucan, their beaks are not too heavy. It is composed of keratin (角蛋白), which makes it much lighter than you would think just by looking.
·What do they eat and drink?
Toucans use their beak to peel and eat different kinds of fruits, which happens to be the kind of food they eat most often. Sometimes toucans will choose to snack on insects, frogs, or the eggs of other birds. Toucans get most of their watch from the fruits they eat, so they don't need too much extra water.
·Believe it or not!
Toucans don't have very big wings. They have to flag their wings vigorously (强力地) to travel short distance. So you will often find them hopping rather than lying through the air. Toucans can be rather lazy birds and they like to stay in one place generally. They don't fly high up in the sky or very far away from home, and enjoy staying in trees with their delicious fruit to eat. Wild cats are a predator of toucans in the rainforest. Other predators include large birds. Same snakes may attack smaller toucans but typically are more interested in the toucan's eggs instead.

25、Dad recently read me a speech, hoping to satisfy my endless search for answers-answers to everything. Ever since I was very young, I’ve asked countless times “What should I do?”, trying to avoid making mistakes. Maybe I feared to take my first baby step on my own I think.
During my middle school years, I changed. It was when I decided to try for the lead in Beauty and the Beast (野兽) without asking Dad for advice. Never mind that I would have to memorize lines and movements, and I would take the chance that I might fail.
On the day of audition (试镜), I kept telling myself, “If you don’t think you can do it the right way, just don’t go.” My heart was pounding; my hands were shaking so badly that I wasn’t certain whether people would hear me.
But something happened. When I opened my mouth, I found the sound was loud, powerful and sweet! And I even reached the high notes that I’d never reached! It was fantastic! I was trying bravely even though I might fail. But I didn’t. That audition wasn’t the end of the trap that kept me from trying, but it was definitely an important part of the process of growing.
That day, I realized that if I want to live my life to the fullest, I have to push myself. Because my parents, friends and teachers don’t always have the answer to “What should I do?”.
Now, I do take these chances, with baby steps, every day, like voicing my opinions in class discussions, riding my horse over a three-foot jump...
“Life is learning to deal with Plan B.” Dad stated in his speech. But I now know the Plan As I make for my life will become easier and easier with every chance I take.

A.She found it hard to remember all the lines and movements.
B.No one could hear her clearly since her voice was shaking.
C.She successfully beat herself and performed much better than she’d expected.
D.She regretted not accepting Dad’s advice.
【3】The father mentioned Life is learning to deal with Plan B because he ________.
A.wished the author could keep searching for answers
B.expected the author to avoid mistakes in life
C.believed Plan B was always much easier than Plan A
D.hoped the author could try things bravely and never fear to make mistakes
【4】What can we learn from the passage?

B.It was never hard for the author to reach high notes while she was singing.
