Many people don’t like crows, because they think these black birds will bring them bad luck. In fact, however, crows are very smart and can interact with (与……互动) humans. They have about the same intelligence level (智力水平) as that of a seven-year-old human child.
Tango has first-hand (第一手的) knowledge of how clever crows can be. Three years ago, she moved into her new home in Virginia, U. S. A. Soon after, she began feeding the crows that lived near her house. She left them peanuts (花生) and tried to chat with them.
Over time, the crows started to trust her. In exchange for the yummy food she left for them, the crows began to bring her small gifts. These gifts included shiny coins and twisty ties (扎带) from bread packages (包装).
So far, Tango’s favorite gift has been a euro (欧元) coin. “I don’t know where they found the euro in Virginia, but this is probably the coolest present they’ve ever left,” Tango said. “And it’s also the coolest thing that has ever happened to me!”
After Tango posted her experience online, many people were amazed at how lovely and friendly the crows were. She reminds people that if they want to make friends with birds, they should first study their diet and behavior.

Hong Kong is a great city in which to spend a term abroad. I enjoyed my time there, and I am very happy with my decision to study in Hong Kong where I attended The University of Hong Kong (HKU), met new people, and experienced Asian culture.
My professors were kind. Many of them were well-respected researchers. HKU’s teachers are very international. I found it interesting to learn from experts who had done different work around the world, including the countries of Great Britain, Singapore, and Mainland China.
Six months in Hong Kong were cheaper or as expensive as six months in Boston, though study abroad will always be an investment (投资) because of travel expenses. Compared (比较) with other Asian cities, Hong Kong is quite expensive. Comparing with the United States, I found the cost of living as an exchange student is acceptable.
Food and groceries were affordable. Most days, I ate on and around campus. The same meal costs less in Hong Kong than in the United States. Snacks and drinks are cheap and convenient. Overall, there is great kinds of food you can choose in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong has a fantastic public transport system. I used the MTR every day. Sometimes I would ride the CityBus, Public Light Bus (small bus) , a ferry (to outlying islands), or a taxi.
29. How long does the writer stay in HKU?
A. A week. B. A month. C. A year. D. Half a year.
30 How does the writer think about studying with the teachers in HKU?
A. It’s tiring. B. It’s interesting. C. It’s busy. D. It’s exciting.

Mr. Worth liked spending time with his grandson, Shawn. He enjoyed teaching him some of the things he may not be taught in school.
One day, the boy came into his house and told him about a science class project. Each student was going to grow a pot (罐) of bean plants. They each wanted to grow the strongest and best bean plants.
Shawn showed him the bean seeds and explained that his teacher had taught them how to make the seed grow. First, they put the seeds on a wet paper towel. Then, they put them near a warm window. When the seeds sprout (发芽) , they can transplant (移植) them into a pot.
After listening to his grandson, Mr. Worth said, “You do just as you’ve learned, but I want to show you one thing about growing plants.”
“When I was a boy, my father showed me how to grow strong plants,” he continued. “When the plant is starting out, you put some weight on it.” Shawn looked at his grandfather in disbelief (怀疑).
“Doesn’t the weight stop the bean from growing?” he asked.
“No, of course not. This way, you will force (迫使) the bean plant to be strong and healthy. If you give it everything it wants, it will grow too fast and it will be weak. It will fall over when the first big wind blows.”
Shawn listened carefully. He was eager to grow the bean in the way his grandfather described. He would tell his friends what he had learned that day.
33. What did the teacher tell the students to do first to make the bean seeds sprout?
A. Put them on a wet paper towel. B. Plant them directly in soil.

36. What does the story want to tell us?

B. Grandparents always know more than teachers.
C. Small challenges can make plants and people stronger.
D. Shawn wants to win the school science fair.
