Several weeks later, their memory became much 33 . They even make jokes about their old forgetfulness now, and it’s 34 to see them doing well. We can’t stop time, but we can reduce (减轻) the worries of our elders with our love. Time may take away some of their memories, but our love will stay with them.

Every pet has its own living habits and needs special care from us. A hamster is a small and quiet pet. It does not need a large living space and is easy to look after. Hamsters are mostly active at night and sleep during the day. They are gentle creatures, but they may bite when they feel frightened. With a clean cage, fresh water, and proper food, a hamster can be a wonderful friend. A dog is an energetic and loyal animal. It needs lots of space to run and play, as well as everyday walks outdoors. Dogs enjoy spending time with people and can become true friends. However, taking care of a dog takes a lot of time and effort. You need to be responsible, patient, and ready to give it regular exercise and care. A goldfish is a good choice for beginners. It lives in a fish tank with clean water and does not need to be walked or played with. You simply feed it once a day and clean the tank from time to time. Watching goldfish swim quietly can help you feel peaceful and relaxed after a busy day. A cat is an independent and tidy animal. It does not need a large space or daily walks. Cats sleep for most of the day and enjoy having some time alone. You should clean their litter box every day and provide fresh food and water. Cats can be loving, but they may not always want to play with you. 39. Which pet is the best choice for beginners with little free time? A. A hamster. B. A dog. C. A goldfish. D. A cat. 40. What can we infer (推断) about cats from the passage? A. They like to go for walks every day. B. They need a large living space. C. They like being alone sometimes. D. They always want to play with people. 41. What’s the best title (标题) of the passage? A. Which pet is right for you? B. How do you look after your pet? C. What’s the fun of keeping a pet? D. What should you know before keeping a pet? C In August 2026, a heartwarming reunion (团聚) took place in the Mu Us Desert in Inner Mongolia. Yin Yuzhen, a Chinese farmer, met Ronald Sakorski, an American retired teacher, after 26 years apart. Their friendship began in 1999, when Sakorski, teaching in China, saw Yin’s story on TV and was moved to tears. He raised $5,000 to help her plant trees in the desert*. Over the years, Yin and her husband planted more than 50,000 trees with the money. The trees turned the sandy land into a forest. Yin named the forest “Sakorski Forest” and put up a brick with his name on it. She never forgot the American teacher. In May 2026, she made a video and asked for help online to find him. Within 48 hours, lots of people joined the search and helped them reconnect. Three months later, Sakorski returned to China. On August 24, they met in the forest. The small tree they planted together 26 years ago was over 10 meters tall. They planted a new tree to mark their friendship. Sakorski said, “This is a story written in Hollywood, not a reality.We never thought such a great and special meeting could really happen, but we are experiencing this magnificent moment.” Their reunion was not just about trees. Sakorskd also visited Luoyang, where he taught in 1999. He met some of his former students. He said, “Teachers plant a seed in students’ hearts. That seed grows into a tree and then a forest.” He added, “If a simple teacher and a desert lady can create this forest, imagine what more people can do together.” When Sakorski left China on September 1st, they hugged tightly at the airport. Both had tears in their eyes. He said, “Any act of kindness, no matter how small, will never be wasted.” Their story shows friendship and kindness can cross oceans and time. As Sakorski once said, “Chinese people and American people can be one family.” * Desert: A large, dry area of land with very little rain and few plants, hot in the day. 42.
