Lake Baikal in Southern Siberia is the largest, deepest freshwater lake in the world. Every winter when the lake freezes (冻结) over for half the year, 80-year-old Lyubov Morekhodova straps (用带子系好) on the same ancient skates she’s worn since the 1940s and glides (滑行) across the ice wherever she needs to go.

Lyubov has been using the ice to travel around her faraway home for her whole life. As a child, she skated about 2.5 miles each way to school and back. She once fell through the ice and was luckily saved by her classmates.

Now Lyubov lives alone in a small house on the shores of Lake Baikal. Her children and five grandchildren seldom visit her because they live five hours away by car. She has to look on a group of dogs, cows and chickens as her friends. Luckily, she has the ice to help her feel free! “For me, ice means being able to go anywhere and everywhere,” the grandmother said.

Every day, she skates half an hour each way to the local village to do her shopping. With temperatures often reaching lows of-40 C, it’s hard for an old woman to live a normal life! But Lyubov says that her daily skates are the secret to her long life span (寿命). “People keep telling me I should slow down, but I just can’t!” She said with a laugh. “I don’t have time to be bored; there’s too much work to do.”

24．How does Lyubov usually travel?

A．She usually travels on foot.           B．She usually rides her bike.

C．She usually glides across the ice.       D．She usually takes a bus.

25．Why do Lyubov’s children seldom visit her?

A．Because they don’t like her at all.

B．Because they live far away from her.

C．Because they don’t have any cars.

D．Because they can’t glide across the ice.

26．What can we infer from the passage?

①Lyubov is interested in skating a lot.

②Lyubov is a woman full of hope for life.

③Lyubov’s daily skates are the secret to her long life span.

④Lyubov will skate more slowly in the future by following other people’s advice.

A．②③④ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．①②③

27．What’s the best title of the passage?

A．An 80-year-old woman who loves skating  

B．An 80-year-old woman who is alone

C．A woman that has too much work to do   

D．A woman that lives with dogs, cows and chickens

Insect-eating plants don't have sharp teeth, but they do "eat" living creatures (生物). That ability makes these plants some of the most interesting plants on earth.

Insect-eating plants have bright colors, smells, and flowers to make insects come closer. Insects are then trapped by the plants and become I heir food. Most kinds of insect-eating plants are smaller plants. They can reach up to 12 inches in height. Some taller ones can grow to the height of 3 feet.

These insect-eating plants live all over the world. About 40 kinds live in North America. Each type has its own special way to trap insects. And each type has its own special look. For example, the Venus flytrap can feel when a moving insect is in between its leaves and will very quickly close to catch the insect. If the insect is too small and gets out of it, the trap will open again in less than 12 hours. If the insect moves around and can't get out, the trap will get more closed.
