If I hold it for an hour, I will have a pain in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, I will have to see a doctor. It is the exact same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.

C Hot weather kills many people every year around the world. With hot summer going on, it’s important for us to keep well during hot weather. Here are some ways for you. Drink lots of water. The best way to keep cool in hot weather is to drink lots of water. It’s important to drink water even if you don’t feel thirsty, because this can stop you from becoming dehydrated (脱水). Keep your house cool. You can keep your house cool by closing curtains (窗帘) in the day. If you don’t have the air conditioning (空调), you can go to a cool place such as a library, a shopping centre or a swimming pool. Stay in the cool room in the house. Take care of others.

Did you know it is now helping save wild animals? A few years ago, we could never have imagined how new tools could collect information about animals’ habits and movements. Today, however, this is already happening—and it helps stop some kinds of animals from diminishing. The African elephant is the world’s largest land animal and there used to be as many as 5,000,000, but now there are only about 415,000 left. African elephants have to travel a long way to find food. This can cause problems for farmers. They sometimes kill elephants to protect their land. However, researchers now work with farmers to search elephants carefully using a special tool called “smart collar (项圈)”. It can give information about where the elephants are. It is now helping farmers save their land and elephants. Like elephants, the number of tigers in the wild is fewer than 4,000 and this number is dropping quickly because some people are killing them. Researchers are hoping that they can change the situation. Camera traps (感应相机) with special cameras take videos of tigers as they walk past. All tigers have a different and special form of stripes (条纹)—a bit like human fingerprints (指纹). Live videos of tigers’ movements allow researchers to find each tiger so that they can follow them for years and protect the places where they live. This lets the tigers live safely without people killing them. Besides these, more and more people share photos of wrong activities online, like hurting animals or cutting down forests. This helps us protect animals in danger. ( ) 31. How does the writer start the text? A. By telling a story. B. By asking a question. C. By giving an example. D. By listing the numbers. ( ) 32. What does the underlined word “diminishing” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Disappearing. B. Remaining. C. Growing. D. Falling. ( ) 33. What can we know about “smart collar” from Paragraph 2? A. It helps animals to find food. B. It controls animals’ movements. C. It helps researchers follow animals. D. It makes the number of animals drop. ( ) 34. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. The drop in the number of tigers. B. The danger to tigers from people. C. A new way to watch and save tigers. D. The living habits of tigers in the wild. ( ) 35. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text? A. To tell how some animals live. B. To show why we need smart tools. C. To ask people to stop killing wild animals. D.

He even watched The Red Detachment of Women ballet show in the early 1960s over 10 times. However, Liu never really got the chance to practise it. That was because he grew up in a poor family in a village. He ended up becoming a farmer and working as a street cleaner. But he never gave up his love for ballet. And at age 53, he decided to become a ballet dancer. “One day, I saw a ballet training course (课程) on TV. This gave me the idea that I should try to learn to dance,” Liu said. Becoming a ballet dancer at age 53 wasn’t an easy thing. Most of his friends just didn’t understand why he put himself through this difficult training at his age, but Liu Ziqing didn’t care about them at all. During the course of learning ballet, staying in good shape (体形) was the most difficult. Liu sometimes has to sleep in a leg press position (姿势) to make him strong. Luckily, his family is always in his sides. Ballet gives Liu a lot. “In the past, I had stomach problems. Now, after ten years of dancing, I don’t have those problems,” Liu said. “When I take classes with those young students, I feel young again,” he added. “I am now doing what I wanted to do when I was young.” 36. Why did Liu never get the chance to practise ballet when he was a little boy? 37. When did Liu decide to become a ballet dancer? 38.
