Poems play with sounds, words, and grammar. That makes poems difficult to write but very interesting to read. They use colours, feelings, experiences, and images to paint a picture in your mind. Let’s have a look at the following Chinese classical poem:
On the Stork Tower
By Wang Zhihuan
The sun along the mountain bows,
The Yellow River seawards flows,
You can enjoy a grander sight,
If you climb to a greater height,
Translated by Xu Yuanchong
In Chinese classical poems, the form is very important: the correct number of lines and the number of words in each line. Poems often follow special models of rhythm（节奏）and rhyme. However, modern poets begin to reject traditional forms and structures（结构）for poems in the 20th century. As a result, most poems today are written in free style, with lines of different lengths.
Today many Chinese people are becoming more interested in reading poems, no matter in what language they are written. Translations can be good, but being able to read in the original（最初的）language is best.
34. What do the first two lines of the poem On the Stork Tower show?
A. Love. B. Sights. C. History. D. Feelings.
35. What does the underlined word “reject” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Throw away. B. Carry on. C. Agree with. D. Take up.
36. What does the writer of the passage probably believe?
A. It is much easier to write classical poems than modern poems.
B. People should develop the habit of painting pictures after reading poems.
C. Chinese classical poems should follow free style with lines of different lengths.
D. No matter how well a poem is translated, some of the spirit of the original work is lost.

You stand in a garden. A low noise reaches your ears. You see a small insect flying near your head. You turn to look, and it flies out of sight. There it is again! You move slowly. You can see yellow and black stripes on it.
Is it a bee? It lands on a flower, and you take a closer look.
Bees fold(折叠) their wings onto their backs when they stop flying. But this insect’s wings reach out like a fly’s. That’s because it is a fly—a flower fly.
Many flower flies look like bees. This helps keep them safe from animals that may want to eat them. Insects with yellow and black stripes usually have stingers(刺). Insect eaters, such as some birds and frogs, need to get stung only once to know that stripes mean trouble. Flower flies can’t sting, but insect eaters see the stripes and leave the flies alone.
Flower flies spend most of their time looking for food. Like bees, flower flies eat pollen(花粉) and nectar(花蜜). This makes them easy to find in a garden full of flowers. They are helpful garden insects just like bees. Adult flower flies move pollen from one flower to another, which helps some flowers grow into fruit.
Flower flies can stay in one place while flying. Most insects move forward when they fly. But flower flies can twist their wings, much like hummingbirds do. Twisting keeps them in one place, so they can remain over flowers, leaves, or even you!
37. In which part of a magazine can we probably see this passage?
A. Nature. B. Culture. C. Fashion. D. Health.
38. In which way are bees and flower flies different?
A. The food that they eat. B. The colour of their stripes.
C. The way they help garden flowers grow. D. The shape of wings when they stop flying.
39. What does the underlined phrase “leave the flies alone” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Make friends with the flies. B. Eat the flies up.
C. Keep away from the flies. D. Invite the flies in.
40. What might the writer of the passage agree with?
A. People usually prefer bees to flower flies.
B. People sometimes mistake flower flies for bees.
C. People should stop birds eating bees and flower flies.
D. People should have beautiful gardens in their neighbourhood.

Before 1970, few laws protected the environment. Then on April 22 that year, Earth Day was created to celebrate our planet, tell people about environmental problems, and encourage them to take action. Now Earth Day is celebrated all around the world. We still face many challenges, such as climate（气候） change, plastic pollution, and deforestation（毁林）. But we can make a difference. Here is an Earth-helping hero.
Adeline Tiffanie Suwana was twelve when her family’s home flooded. Indonesia, her island nation in South-east Asia, is often hit hard by floods and other natural disasters.
Adeline wanted to help. Studying the problem, she learned that mangrove trees play an important role in flood protection. Their big, tangled（缠结的）roots slow floodwaters and keep soil from washing away. But the trees were being cut down.
Adeline gathered her classmates to plant 200 mangrove young trees during a school break. They started a group called Friends of Nature, which works to keep the area’s biodiversity（生物多样性）, fight against climate change, and help people realize the importance of the environment. They even started a project to get clean energy to remote villages.
Today, Adeline attends college, studying how businesses can help the environment.
Remember: every one of us can be a hero for the environment!
