On the first day of fourth grade, my teacher, Mrs. Brown, told my class a story about her husband Rob, who is a brain cancer survivor. After what Mrs. Brown experienced with Robs’ illness, she decided to devote part of her life to an organization called Be head Strong, which works to support families with a member suffering from brain cancer.
Along with typical math and science, throughout the year, Mrs. Brown shared stories with us about people in Be Head Strong who had overcome some tough and unfair battles. Mrs. Brown never showed any sadness or confusion toward the disease. She instead spoke only with words of determination to find a cure. Whether news from Be Head Strong was good or bad, she always looked at the situation as an opportunity to improve and do more.
My parents taught me from a very young age that making wise choices with my money is important. I would always set aside most of my $ 2.50-a-week allowance. By the end of the school year, I had saved over one hundred dollars, $ 131.30 to be exact. One day was wondering what to do with it. I did not feel like any game or toy was worth the time I had spent saving. I thought about the stories Mrs. Brown told us, then I decided that was where I wanted my money to go.
As the last day of school approached, my mom helped me wrap the heart-shaped box full of dollars and coins. After all the other kids had left on the last day of school, I handed Mrs. Brown the present. As she opened it, I told her that I wanted the money to go to Be Head Strong to help people like Rob. She broke into tears and hugged me tightly.

Shanghai residents （居民） passing through the city’s eastern Huangpu district earlier this month might have discovered an unusual sight a “walking” building.
An 85-year-old primary school has been lifted off the ground in its entirety and relocated using new technology named the “walking” machine.
In the city’s latest effort to protect historic structures, engineers used nearly 200 mobile supports under the five-story building, according to Lan Wuji, chief technical supervisor of the project.
The supports act like robotic legs. They’re split into two groups which in turns rise up and down, like the human step. The sensors （感应器）help control how the building moves forward, said Lan.
In recent years, China’s rapid modernization has seen many historic buildings destroyed to clear land for skyscrapers and office buildings. But there has been growing concern about the architectural heritage （遗产）loss as a result of destruction across the country.
It is true Shanghai has been China’s most progressive city when it comes to heritage preservation The survival of a number of 1930s buildings in the famous bund district and 19th-century “shikumen”（or “stone gate”） houses in the repaired Xintiandi neighborhood has offered examples of how to give old buildings new life.
The city also has a track record of relocating old buildings. In 2018, the city relocated a 90-year-old building in Hongkou district, which was then considered to be Shanghai’s most complex relocation project to date.
The Lagena Primary School, which weighs 7, 600 tons, faced a new challenge-it’s T-shaped, while previously relocated structures were square or rectangular（长方形的）, according to Xinhua.
Experts and technicians met to discuss possibilities and test a number of different technologies before deciding on the “walking machine”, Xinhua said.
8. Why did the 85-year-old primary school have to be moved?
A. To make room for modern buildings without destroying it.
B. To meet the new requirements of the school.
C. To protect it better as it is a cultural heritage.
D. To give the old building a new life…
9. How did the primary school get moved?
A. By reducing the weight of it B. By using movable supports.
C. By dividing it into several parts. D. By using robotic legs.
10. Which of the following statements may the author agree with?
A. China’s rapid modernization leads to the architectural heritage loss.
B. The move of the primary school is the first example of heritage protection.
C. The different shape of the primary school adds difficulty to its move.
D. The move of the primary school is Shanghai’s most complex relocation project.
11. Where does the passage probably come from?
A. A news report. B. A science review.
C. A travel magazine. D. A geography book.
D
When most people think of rodents(啮齿动物), they either think of pests like mice and rats, or cute animals, like guinea pigs or squirrels. What does not usually come to mind is the grass-chewing, water-loving, dog- sized capybara (水豚). Weighing up to 66 kilograms, the capybara is the world’s largest rodent. And that might be the least interesting thing about this wonderful animal.
Native to South America, capybaras are found in grasslands near lakes or rivers. They are excellent swimmers and spend much of their time in the water. They have webs between their toes to help them swim even better. Moreover, the position of their eyes, ears, and noses on the tops of their heads helps them fully dive in the water to hide from predators (捕食者). They love the water, and they can even sleep underwater, with only their noses above the surface.
Like many other rodents, capybaras live in large social groups. What’s unusual, however, is how friendly capybaras are with other animal species. The internet is full of images showing smaller animals sitting on capybaras. But despite these giant rodents’ social natures and cuteness, they don’t make very good pets. They can be territorial(有地盘意识的) with larger animals, and they have been known to bite humans when they feel threatened.
Capybaras continue to lose some of their cuteness when one takes a look at their diet. Their main food is grass, but like many grass-eating animals, they are not able to fully take in their meal the first time it passes through their digestive system(消化系统). So, capybaras frequently eat their own droppings to get additional nutrients from previous meals. There are lots of reasons to love capybaras, but this probably isn’t one of them.
12. According to this passage, what is special about capybaras among rodents?
A. Their size. B. Their fur. C. Their teeth. D. Their living waters.
13. In what unusual way do capybaras hide from their enemies?
A. Their fur mixes with their environment.
B. They live in large groups to hide each individual.
C. They stand still in very tall grass.
D. They keep most of their bodies under the water.
14. Why would a capybara NOT make a good pet?
A. They need a lot of water to play in.
B. They may hurt humans when threatened.
C. Their food is too expensive to afford.
D. They carry diseases that are dangerous to humans.
15. What does the author say about the capybaras’ diet?
A. Their diet is especially friendly to the environment.
B. Capybaras become less cute when it comes to their diet.
C. Capybaras keep a balanced diet to get additional nutrients.
D. Their diet consists of many things, including grasses and other animals’ waste.

As Chinese new Year approaches, many people go on house cleaning. ___16___ In other words, get rid of things that take up space but aren’t used often or at all. If you are interested in tidying up for Chinese New Year, here are a few tips that might help you.
Decluttering is important but lacks urgency, so it’s easy to keep putting it off. ___17___ Make sure your family is free during this time, too, since some of the things are probably theirs. Then take an hour or two or maybe even a whole day to declutter.
Be prepared with a place to put items for disposal. ___18___ You may want separate containers for items you want to throw away, those you plan to donate and those you want to sell. Thus four boxes are needed: a box for things you’ll keep, a box for things you’ll store, one for things you’ll donate or sell, and the last one for things you’ll throw out.
___19___ Sorting through your things is the hard part. Now, you just have to throw out all of the trash and put all of the items you want to keep back where they belong, and make sure to have a great organizational system that will keep them neatly in place.
Make time for weekly and daily decluttering. ___20___ Now that your home looks nice, you have to make an effort for it to stay that way by making time to keep your space organized every day and at the end of every week.
