Philadelphia （CNN）— Hazel Donnelly was taking her husband to the doctor when they got a call that their building was on fire.

Her first thought was about Kramer. “I don’t have children of my own, so my cat is like my child. I became very sad,” said Donnelly, 50. “What if he didn’t make it？”

Once she arrived home, Donnelly asked firefighters （消防员） to get her cat, but they were busy trying to control the fire. Then Red Paw Emergency Relief Team arrived. The organization helps pets and their owners for free when disaster strikes. Jen Leary, who set up the group, helped find the animals once the fire was out.

“Everyone who received their pets started to cry,” said Donnelly.

No one was hurt, but the Donnellys’ building was badly damaged, and they weren’t sure where they were going to stay. Donnelly was excited to learn that Red Paw could provide free short-term care for Kramer, her 17-year-old cat.

“When someone loses everything in a fire, they shouldn’t then be forced to lose their pets — their family members —as well,” Leary said. “Letting them know, ‘We’ll take care of your animal like it is our own’ means the world to people.”

After a big fire in 2011, Leary formed her organization. Since then, Leary and her group have provided help to nearly 1,000 animals and their families throughout southeastern Pennsylvania. Like the Red Cross, but for animals.

Red Paw cared for the Donnellys’ cat for more than three weeks. “I cried when we were reunited,” said Donnelly. “They went above and beyond the call of duty. I am so thankful.”

For Leary, helping families and their pets is what her work is all about. “My hope is that it’s a start, and they can move forward together,” she said. “After going through such a sad thing, it’s so good to have a happy ending.”

21. We can infer from the text that Kramer is _____.

A. Donnelly’s husband

B. Donnelly’s child

C. a firefighter

D. a cat

22. What do we know about Red Paw？

A. It offers help to pets and their families.

B. It was set up by Hazel Donnelly.

C. It belongs to the Red Cross.

D. It saves people in disasters.

23. The fire in the Donnellys’ building _____.

A. took many people’s lives

B. caused great damage to the building

C. left Donnelly seriously hurt

D. led to the loss of a family member

24. Who looked after Kramer for a long time after the fire？

A. A doctor.

B. Jen Leary.

C. Red Paw.

D. The Red Cross

More than 30,000 people went to the White House on Monday for the 136th Easter Egg Roll （复活节滚彩蛋）. President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama held the event by inviting thousands of kids to color and look for eggs. The theme of the day was “Hop Into Healthy, Swing Into Shape.” It was part of the First Lady’s “Let’s Move!” program to

reduce obesity rates （肥胖率） among American kids. Mrs. Obama spoke to young reporters about her goal to get children to eat right and keep moving.

“We are working to make sure that kids born today grow up healthy, learn how to have balanced meals, and get more physical activity into their lives,” she said.

Mrs. Obama said she wants children across the nation to understand that “exercise isn’t just hard work, it’s play. If you’re running around with your dog, you’re getting exercise. If you walk up the stairs, that’s exercise. But if you’re sitting in front of t he TV or on a computer game, you’re not exercising.”

The First Lady said that for kids who have balanced meals most of the time, having a special snack, like chocolate, will not hurt. “And if you are active, you can splurge （挥霍） a little more,” she said. Mrs. Obama’s favorite “splurge food” is French fries. But she balances her splurging by exercising almost every day. She loves to play tennis and she practices yoga.

“A lot of kids look up to athletes, and I think it’s important for athletes to share their good habits,” Mrs. Obama said. “Kids aren’t just going to wake up and be LeBron James. He’s practicing and eating right and working out and training. Our athletes can be really good messengers to kids who look up to them —they can say to kids, ‘If you rea lly want to be like me, then you really do need to eat your vegetables.’”

25. The purpose of the “Let’s Move!” program is to _____.

A. help kids keep healthy

B. train more young reporters

C. encourage kids to eat more eggs

D. invite kids to visit the White House

26. In Mrs. Obama’s opinion, exercise _____.

A. can be fun to do

B. means hard work

C. should be done outdoors

D. requires special equipment

27. “Splurge food” is allowed to be eaten when _____.

A. you don’t hurt yourself

B. you have a special snack

C. you never eat French fries

D. you eat right and stay active

28. What can we learn from the last paragraph？

A. All kids want to be LeBron James.

B. It is very easy to form good habits.

C. Athletes can set a good example for kids.

D. Kids like the messages the athletes give them.

29. In which part of a newspaper will the text most probably appear？

A. Business.

B. Health.

C. Culture.

D. Education.

Welcome to Death Valley. The very name of this national park in eastern California might fill some people with dread, but you’re not afraid. You’re just out enjoying th e desert sunshine. Besides, there’s nothing out here but some rocks.

Some of the rocks in Death Valley weigh hundreds of pounds. And in the ground behind each rock is a mysterious trail （痕迹）, as if the rock had been pushed along in the dirt.

So who is moving the rocks？ Nobody. It was nearly 100 years ago when these unusual “sailing stones” were first reported. People have been trying to find out the stones’ secret ever since. One early explanation was that winds were moving the stones. Other explanations have included animals, and, of course, aliens （外星人）.

Until the 1990s, one widely held theory was that the rocks were stuck in sheets （片） of ice that were being blown across the desert. （Death Valley does get cold enough for ice to form on some winter nights.） However, research later showed that to move such large ice sheets, the wind would have to blow at hundreds of miles per hour. There are strong winds in Death Valley — but not that strong.

Then, in 2006, a scientist named Ralph Lorenz came up with a new theory. He suggested that in the winter, thick ice forms around the rocks. When the ground begins to thaw （解冻）, the rocks, wearing ice, sail along, leaving trails behind them. Lorenz put his theory to the test in his own kitchen. He dropped a rock into a dish, added a little water, and stuck the dish in his fridge. Later, he took out the rock and placed it in a dish of water with sand at the bottom. Sure enough, with just a breath, Lorenz was able to send the rock moving across the water —leaving a trail in the sand as it moved.

Has Lorenz solved the mystery of the sailing stones at last？ Perhaps. On the other hand, neither Lorenz nor anyone else has ever actually seen the stones move. Maybe aliens are responsible after all.

30. The underlined word “dread” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_____”.

A. fear

B. anger

C. surprise

D. excitement

31. According to the theory in the late 20th century, the rocks were probably moved by _____.

A. the ice

B. the wind

C. aliens

D. animals

32. What did Ralph Lorenz find？

A. The wind in Death Valley could reach a speed of 100 mph.

B. The rocks in Death Valley couldn’t move by themselves.

C. Death Valley could get cold enough for ice to form.

D. Water helped the rocks in Death Valley move.

National Potato Day was back on Friday 23rd August Along with Bord Bia （Irish Food Board）and many other potato growers in Ireland, Keogh’s Farm brought you a day that was all about potatoes and showing love for our national vegetable.

Keogh’s invited the public to Spud Fest, which took place on Dublin’s South King Street from 12 pm to 4 pm. This festival brought the farm to the city with potato performers, face painters, balloon modeling, music, tastings and plenty of other festival fun to celebrate the most delicious day of the year. There were lots of potatoes, of course.

Keogh’s along with the support of Bord Bia called on everyone to enjoy at least one potato on National Potato Day. Potatoes are naturally low in fat, a great source of vitamins and minerals and are a great way to support local Irish homegrown produce and businesses.

Tom Keogh, General Manager of Keogh’s Farm said, “We can’t believe we were getting ready for our third year of National Potato Day. When we dreamt the idea up in 2011, we had no idea it would attract so many people. Since the first National Potato Day we have received nothing but interest in potatoes at home and all over the world.

“Ireland is now recognized as one of the finest pro ducers of top quality vegetables, with the potato leading the field. We are happy that Bord Bia have joined us this year to bring all our fellow potato producers together and join forces to promote （提升） the enjoyment of the potato. We are hoping National P otato Day is a day to encourage everyone to love potatoes!”

33. According to the text, Spud Fest _____.

A. was open to everyone

B. lasted about five hours

C. sold different vegetables

D. was held in the countryside

34. What did Tom Keogh think of the first National Potato Day？

A. It was world-famous.

B. It was rather terrible.

C. It was very worthless.

D. It was quite successful.

35. The text is mainly to introduce _____.

A. a popular vegetable

B. a well-known capital

C. an interesting festival

D. a famous potato grower

Long, long ago people couldn't write and they had no books. But they had stories. People learned the stories by heart and taught new ones to one another. Sometimes it was hard to remember them all. 36

The ancient Egyptians wrote their stories on something made from papyrus （纸莎草）plants. People in other places learned to use papyrus from the Egyptians. 37 So parchment （羊皮纸）, made from goatskin, later took its place.

In ancient China books looked a little different. People there used ink to write on bamboo or silk. And then they invented paper. Made of trees, paper was easier and cheaper to make than papyrus or parchment. 38 Papermaking later spread to the West, but there was a big problem with these early books. Every single one had to be copied and written by hand.

39 They carved （雕刻） a page of words into a piece of wood or stone. They could then print the page by spreading ink on the wood or stone and putting it against paper. But it wasn't until a German printer invented movable, metal letters that books became fast and easy to make. The letters could be used to print copy after copy, and the letters put together again and again to print different pages of words.

40 Once a luxury （奢侈品） only the rich could buy, they soon became a treasure everyone could enjoy.

A. But papyrus grew mainly in Egypt.

B. It took years to finish making just one book.

C. Finally books could be printed by the thousands.

D. Things grew a little easier when writing was invented.

E. Its surface was smoother and better for writing on too.

F. Books in the West didn't change for a long time after that.

G. The Chinese were the first to think of a way to speed things up a little.
