In the video, the bear stands on its back legs and the fur (毛) on its behind is loose (松散的). Many people thought it was a person standing in a bear suit. The zoo workers said that the sun bear was real. “If a person did wear a bear suit, they would be falling down within minutes because of the hot weather in summer.” Later, the zoo made a statement (声明) in the name of “Angela”, the sun bear. “Some people think I stand like a person. It seems you don’t understand me very well,” the statement said. “Let me say again to everyone that I am a sun bear—not a black bear, not a dog—a sun bear!” Sun bears live in the forests of Southeast Asia. They are the smallest bears in the world. They are only about the size of a large dog. They can be 1.1-1.5 meters tall while standing on their back legs. They can weigh from 25 to 75 kilograms. Sun bears are the least studied out of all the 8 kinds of bears. Maybe this is because they are shy and live far away from people. They are listed as vulnerable (易危的) by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Their numbers in the wild have fallen by 35% over the past thirty years, according to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). They need more protection. 26. Which is the right order of introducing the sun bear in Para. 3 & 4? a. size b. weight c. height d. place e. name A. b-a-c-d-e B. c-e-b-a-d C. a-b-c-e-d D. e-d-a-c-b 27. Which of the following is TRUE? A. The standing bear is a human in a bear suit. B. The standing bear is a black bear, not a dog. C. Sun bears are well studied by people these days. D. People may fall down easily in a bear suit in hot weather. 28. How does the sun bear feel in its statement in Para. 3? A. Happy. B. Excited. C. Angry. D. Sad. 29. What can we learn from this passage? A. In size, sun bears are similar to a dog. B. Sun bears are in danger and need protection. C. Sun bears are popular among people all the time. D. The number of sun bears is the same as that of black bears. B One afternoon, an old man took his cellphone to a repair shop. Frustrated (沮丧的), he walked up to the technician (技术员) and said, “I have only had this phone for a few months and it already does not receive calls. If you can’t fix it, I would like to buy a new one.” After checking the phone, the technician came back with good news. “Your phone works fine, Sir. I tested it several times. It sends and receives calls perfectly. You have nothing to worry about. Is there anything else I can help you with?” Shocked and confused, the old man began to cry. With tears in his eyes, he quietly replied, “Are you sure? Then why aren’t my children calling me? It’s already been a few months since I got this phone.” The technician was speechless. The old man looked up and asked, “Do you call your parents?” Again, the technician didn’t know what to say. After listening to the old man, the technician began to feel sorry. With long working hours and the responsibilities (责任) of raising a family, he did not call his parents as often as he should. ________. “Well, then, you can help me with one thing,” said the old man. “Call your parents!

However, there may be many arguments. One friend told me that both she and her sister were in tears after arguing on holiday. In my own family, Dad always wants to go to a museum.

But hundreds of beaches in Greece (希腊) now offer a new way for people in wheelchairs (轮椅) to get into the water by themselves. It’s called Seatrac. Seatrac is a chair on a moving ramp (坡道). It can carry a disabled person into the sea. Once in the sea, the person can either stay in the chair, enjoying the water, or go for a swim. When the person wants to get out of the water, he can use the remote control (遥控器) to bring the chair back to the top of the ramp. It’s even possible for him or her to take a shower in the chair after a swim. Seatrac was invented and developed in Greece. The idea for it came when one of the inventors, Ignatios Fotiou, was talking with a friend who used a wheelchair. The friend said he enjoyed the sea, but didn’t like having to be carried into the ocean. Mr Fotiou wanted to find an easier way for wheelchair users to get into the water. He worked hard with others to develop the Seatrac system. They made the system simple to put in place and easy to run. A wooden walkway allows wheelchair users to reach the Seatrac. The system is solar-powered (太阳能的), and can keep running even if the electricity goes out. This summer, the Seatrac system is being used at over 220 beaches in Greece and other countries. Thanks to Seatrac, people who use wheelchairs now can cool down in the sea. 40. Is Seatrac invented only by Ignatios Fotiou? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 41. What can the disabled people do in Seatrac? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 42. How do you like Seatrac?
