Every eight-year-old girl has a dream. Many want to be princesses, some want to be cowgirls, a few want to be presidents. Me? I wanted to see the penguins. So, at a time when most of my friends were spending their money on Barbie dolls and colorful hair ties, I was saving for a trip to New Zealand.
A small and relatively unknown island off the coast of New Zealand, Snares Island is home to some 25,000 penguins. When I first heard of this penguin paradise(乐园),my eight-year-old heart was captured and I was determined that, one way or another, I would see those penguins.
I didn’t have a bank account, but I did have a small piggy bank (储蓄罐).I spent my days working hard to earn money, and my evenings figuring out how much more I needed to earn each year to take the trip when I turned 18. I weeded my mom’s garden, made my brother’s bed, and killed spiders for my sister, then put every hard-earned dime（十分铸币） into that bank. Every day, I would look at my progress and congratulate myself on being one step closer to the penguin paradise.
Obviously, my trip hasn’t taken place, and because of the limit on visiting Snares Island, I doubt it ever will. For months, though, my world surrounds what would have been my favorite place. And while my ten-year plan slowly disappeared, and those hard-earned dimes were spent on other things, the memory of Snares Island stays with me.
Other girls may have outgrown (长大而不再要) their princess, cowgirl, or president phases (时期),but I refuse to outgrow my penguin because, maybe, just maybe, the world is still in my grasp, goals can be achieved, and after all, someone’s got to see those penguins!

D. there are certain rules that limit who can go there
63. We can learn from this passage that the author .

B. is very happy to have saved a lot of money
C. liked traveling very much at the age of eight
D. will go to some other places to see penguins

What is a flood and where does it happen?
A flood occurs when water pours over dry land. Floods can cause big damage when they happen unexpectedly.
Heavy rain can cause floods. If a lot of rain falls quickly, the earth is unable to soak (吸入) it up, and the water builds up on the ground. When it runs off into the rivers, the rivers overflow their banks.
The worst floods happen on land that is flat and low-lying. These areas of land are known as flood plains (漫滩).Mud, earth, and large objects, like cars, can be carried long distances by flood waters. Then, disease spreads quickly because the flood water is polluted.
What should I know if I live on a flood plain?
● Stay away from flood water. It may be polluted.
● Do not walk through moving water. It can knock you off your feet. If you must walk through water, walk where the water is not moving. Use a stick to test the ground in front of you.
● Stay away from power lines that are on the ground. You could be electrocuted (电死).
● If you are scared, share your fears with an adult. Floods can be terrible, but remember—the water ALWAYS goes away!
What dangers does a flood lead to?
● Electrocution from power lines
● Dangerous animals coming out
● Drowning
What should I do if a flood happens?
● Get to the meeting place of your family.
● Try to get to higher ground.
● Listen to your family and follow all instructions carefully.
64. Which
