Yohannes walks beside a
17、pair of donkeys that are pulling a two-wheeled cart. They arrive at the agricultural town of Awassa where Yohannes opens the sides of the cart to display, not the usual vegetables or tools, but childrens books. This is the Donkey Mobile Library, the first of its kind in Ethiopia and one of only a fe
18、w in the world. Yohannes was born in Ethiopia, North Africa, but trained to be a librarian in the USA and returned to Ethiopia years ago. The cart is full of picture books donated by American libraries, teachers and school children. Yohannes arranges small painted benches in the shade of the trees,
19、and suddenly Ethiopian children come shouting and racing down every road and path. Its mobile library day! They circle the bookshelves with great excitement. Until the Donkey Mobile Library began its regular two-monthly visits, many of these children had never seen a book. “Without books, education
20、is very dull, like food without salt. You can survive but you cant really come alive,” says Yohannes. Yohannes first worked in the childrens section of the main library in America. Surrounded by books he had never seen before, he realized how joyful and imaginative childrens literature is. He says,
21、“I always thought of Ethiopia. But how could I bring childrens books to my home country when it had almost no libraries to keep the books in?” He contacted Jane Kurtz, a writer born in America but brought up in Ethiopia, and together they created the Donkey Mobile Library. The children say that the
22、Library has given them ideas about what they might do in the future. A child called Dareje wants to be a scientist and find a cure for life-threatening diseases. An eleven year-old girl, Fikerte, wants to do research about the moon and discover new facts about outer space. Tamrat, aged 10, comes eve
23、ry time. “What brings you back here time and time again?” the librarian asks him. “The stories,” Tamrat replies instantly. 24.How do the children feel when they see the Donkey Mobile Library? A.

A news report.B. A book review.C. A historical story.D. An advertisement.C ChiChi weighs only 13 pounds. “Hes so tiny，
26、I can carry him with one hand，” says Mary Lane.“Most people see him and think hes useless.” But last October，ChiChi proved to be more than just a pretty face. Mary and her husband，Rick，were relaxing on the beach one afternoon while on vacation in North Carolinas Outer Banks. As usual，ChiChi was lyin
27、g on his blanket in his own little beach chair. “We had our noses buried in books，”recalls Rick，“when suddenly the dog became extremely uneasy. His bark was different from anything we had heard before. And he would not let us ignore him.” ChiChi ran back and forth in front of his chair as if to run
28、down the beach. The Lanes sat up to see two elderly women in the ocean，about 100 yards down the beach and 10 feet off shore. One was on her back，her head under the waves. The other was struggling hard to keep her friends head above the surface. The Lanes rushed across the sand and into the surf. Ric
29、k went to the woman in danger of drowning，while Mary held fast on to the other one and pulled her up on the beach.“Then I went back to help Rick，” Mary says.“The sand dropped off steeply，and a riptide(激流)was beating the woman under. She was completely helpless.” Not getting well from recent knee sur
30、gery，the woman had been unable to turn over or push herself up.“Her friend had been in danger too，” Mary says.“The waves were pushing her around. Theres no way she could have held on much longer.” The women hadnt called out for help. “They were struggling so hard that there was no time for screaming
31、，” Mary recalls.“But ChiChi had sensed their danger.” Duty done，ChiChi was back in his chair，asleep，by the time the two women were on dry ground and the Lanes had returned to their blankets. Luckily，the women were fine，though shaken. They thanked the Lanes for saving their lives. Back home in Greens

35、of trouble.D People used to think that wetlands were wasted land. Developers would drain them with ditches（水沟），fill them in with tons of soil，and build houses，schools，and parking areas on them. Then scientists began to realize the important role wetlands played in the environment. Wetlands act like
36、giant sponges（海绵） during storms. They soak up extra storm water and afterward release it slowly back into the water cycle. This helps prevent flooding. Towns where people have drained wetlands have found that in a big storm，their streets and homes are often flooded because there are no wetlands to s
37、oak up the excess water. Wetlands also act as giant filters where pollutants are absorbed and dissolved over time. Though wetlands can become polluted from dumping，wastewater，and fertilizer runoff from farm fields，they are able to process some pollutants over time because of all the microorganisms a
38、nd plants living there. Wetlands are especially important for providing homes and breeding grounds to millions of birds，fish，and amphibians worldwide. Many wetlands have become national wildlife refuges（避难所），where you can go to take pictures and look at birds and animals. The Everglades are a huge w
39、etland that once covered more than four million acres of southern Florida. Sometimes called the “river of grass”，the Everglades are a shallow sheet of water that slowly flowed across a grassy plain. In the late 1800s people began draining parts of the Everglades for development. Roads were built and
40、 towns sprang up. The Everglades shrank to half its original size. Cities like Miami grew up where once there was a thriving wetland. Sewage and waste from the cities were pumped into the remaining wetlands. Over time scientists began to see the importance of the Everglades. Even with its smaller si
41、ze，the Everglades filtered the pollutants coming from the cities，absorbing the worst of it like a sewage treatment plant. During storms the Everglades protected the cities from storm surge flooding. They also are just a great place to visit and see wildlife. 32.The first paragraph is intended to tel
42、l us_. A. wasted land used to be wetlands B. people didnt know the importance of wetlands beforeC. wetlands used to be left undisturbedD. wetlands can be used for building33. Why can wetlands be compared to giant sponges?A. They absorb extra water from storms.B. They become large or small in size.C.
43、 They absorb pollutants and dissolve them.D. They are made of soft soil.34. As for the importance of wetlands，how many aspects are mentioned in the passage?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.35. The example of the Everglades is given in the last paragraph to show_.A. the threat to wetlandsB. the protec
44、tion of wetlandsC. the development of wetlandsD. the importance of wetlandsE If you want to keep fit, please refer to the following: Move More Make it a daily to find ways to move your body. 36 Climb stairs instead of taking the elevator.

Quit Smoking Ever since 1960 when it was announced that smoking was harmful to health, Americans have been reducing their use of tobacco products. Just recently, weve seen more and more teens
46、 smoking. Could it be the Hollywood influence? 37 Take care! Warn your children against smoking. 38 While recent studies show a glass of wine or one drink a day can help protect against heart disease, more than that can cause other health problems such as liver and kidney(肝肾) disease and cancer.Redu

67、The opinions are divided. Those who are in favor of it give the following reasons. For one thing, online answers offer them help to solve difficult problems. For another thing, they can learn from others and gain more knowledge. Most importantly, they think it saves a lot of time. However, the major
68、ity of the students are against it. They strongly believe that it is an act of cheating. Also, searching answers online makes it impossible for students to develop their abilities. In my opinion, it is not a good idea to search answers online. When we meet with difficult questions, we should do some revision and use our head. Only after thinking carefully can we turn to the Internet for help.
