Bebeto’s parents were discussing his sister Anna’s birthday. It was just two days away. Birthdays were always lots of fun, even though there was no money for store-bought gifts.

I went to 221B Baker Street to find my friend Mr. Sherlock Holmes. When I arrived, I saw that he was talking with a stout（矮胖） gentleman with fiery （火焰般的） red hair. “Mr. Wilson here was explaining the thing about an unusual part-time job. Mr. Wilson, this is Doctor Watson. He has been my helper and friend for years.” I nodded and took a seat near Holmes.
This stout man pulled from his pocket a dirty newspaper. As he did this, I took the chance to look at the men carefully.
To my eye, Mr. Wilson seemed quite common （普通）. He was overweight, and from his suit I could guess he might be a salesman. Other than his fiery red hair, I could find nothing special. Holmes, however, said, “It is easy to know that you have done a lot of writing, and at some time been to China.”
Mr. Wilson looked at Holmes surprisedly and said, “How did you know It is true!”
“I knew from your hands. Your right hand is a little bit larger than your left.”
“And how about China That was so many years ago.” asked Mr. Wilson. “Well, you have a Chinese coin hanging from your watch chain,” answered Holmes.
“Quite so!” Mr. Wilson was amazed. “I believe you were about to show us a newspaper advertisement.” said Holmes. “Yes! Here it is.” Below was what Holmes and I read:
To all red-headed men: Mr. Hopkins has left his money to help all red-headed men. Members can get a salary（薪水） of 4 pounds a week. All red-headed men 20 years old or older are able to join. Apply in person on Monday at 11:00 to Duncan Ross at the League Office.
I read it again and wondered, “What does it mean ”
Mr. Wilson talked about his fantastic part-time job. He has got the job not because of any skill or ability, but only because he had red hair. He had worked there for 8 weeks and received a handsome salary of 4 pounds per week. But one morning he went to the work only to find his office closed and his job gone. He had to come to Mr. Holmes looking for answers.
— Taken from The Red-headed League
29. What helped Holmes know Mr. Wilson had done a lot of writing
A. His hands. B. His watch. C. His clothes. D. His hair.
30. Which of the following shows the correct order（顺序） of Mr. Wilson’s experience（经历）
a. Mr. Wilson once went to China.
b. Mr. Wilson came to 221B to ask for help.
c. Mr. Wilson received a newspaper advertisement.
d. Mr. Wilson got a job from the Red-headed League.
A. a-b-c-d. B. a-c-d-b. C. b-a-c-d. D. c-b-a-d.
31. What may happen in the following story
A. Mr. Wilson kept working for the League.
B. Mr. Wilson turned his red hair into black.
C. Holmes and I joined the Red-headed League too.
D. Holmes and I helped Mr. Wilson with his problem.

A food chain is a way to show the relationships（关系） among living things in the nature. It shows the path（路径） the energy takes from the sun through producers and consumers to decomposers. Everything needs energy to live on.
A producer is a living thing that makes energy from the sun. It absorbs sunlight, turns it into energy and keeps it. A perfect example of a producer is a vegetable or fruit. These plants take in sunlight through their green leaves, produce energy, and keep it in the other parts of the plant, such as its fruit and flowers-what is most useful to consumers.
A consumer is a living thing in the food chain that eats producers or other consumers for energy. These consumers can be insects, animals and humans. Insects, like grasshoppers（蚱蜢）, eat producers and take in their energy. Consumers can also eat other consumers. For example, consumers like lions and tigers often eat other animals below them in the food chain. In this way, energy can be passed to other consumers.
A decomposer is a living thing in the food chain that gets its energy from both consumers and producers by eating dead plants and animals. Ants and some other insects are good examples of decomposers. These living things eat dead plants and animals, take in the energy to live on and put new energy into the earth. Plants use the energy to make energy of their own to start the cycle again.
The food chain includes all living things on the earth and is difficult to understand. We can make an easy picture of the food chain by choosing just one groups of living things. Here is an example of a simple（简单的） food
32. Which of the following living things may be a decomposer
A. Butterflies. B. Bamboos. C. Cranes. D. Ants.
33. What does the word “absorb” mean in paragraph 2
A. Make. B. Catch. C. Eat. D. Save.
34. Which of the following picture shows how the food chain works
A. B.
C. D.
35. What can we learn from the passage
A. Consumers are animals living on meat.
B. Producers can only live on the sunlight.
C. Decomposers are dangerous to other life.
D. Every living thing is important to the earth.

Earthquakes are one of the most serious natural disasters. 36 It is a good way recommended by emergency management organizations（应急管理组织） in many countries. Remember these following tips, and you may protect yourself and your family.
* Drop to your hands and knees under a table or desk.
In the first few seconds after the shaking starts, try to quickly move away from anything that may fall and hurt you. 37 If you’re in a public place, such as a store, do not rush away hurriedly. Get away from glass and walls to find a safe place to take cover. 38 A table or a bed can offer cover from falling things. Get down on your knees and stay under the table until the shaking stops.
* 39
Heads and necks are the most important as well as the easiest part to get hurt. If you’re in bed during an earthquake, stay there and protect your head and neck with something soft such as thick clothes or soft pillows（枕头）. These things are soft enough to protect your head and neck. If there’s nothing helpful, cover your face, head and neck with your hands and arms carefully.
* Hold on and keep careful.
Stay until the shaking completely stops. Keep careful even when you get up as aftershocks（余震）can happen at any time after an earthquake. 40
Watch out for broken glass and falling walls. Wear a pair of trainers and put on a pair of long trousers and a shirt. Be careful not to hurt yourself.
A. Cover your head and neck. B. Keep calm if you’re trapped. C. You should have a plan during an earthquake. D. If you’re at home, look for a hard piece of furniture. E. If an aftershock happens, “drop, cover, and hold on” until it stops. F. To live during an earthquake, remember “drop, cover, and hold on”. G. Get low and walk away from any danger such as windows and shelves.

Do you know magpies Magpies are as much an important part of Beijing as the Palace Museum and Beijing Duck. But how much do you know about this type of birds
In the Chinese culture, magpies are also called xique, which means “bird of happiness”. People believe that seeing magpies can bring them good luck. The birds even have a special job in the Chinese story of the Qix i Festival. It’s said that magpies would form the bridge in the sky for Niulang and Zhinyu so that they got to get together once a year. As a result, magpies stand for true love and happiness too.
Magpies have black and white feathers with slightly blue tails. With their special“chachacha” sounds from early morning till night, it is not difficult for birdwatchers to notice them. You can always see them chatting on the roof or in the branches（树枝）.
Magpies have some very interesting living habits. They always live around humans, because they mainly live on the food we throw away. In winter, many magpies turn to a more plant-rich diet. Their diet includes around 60% vegetables. Sometimes they may look for food on the ground but not eat it right away. Instead, they will save the food for the future.
Even more surprising, they will stay around the dead birds and make sad sounds. It is just like they are holding a funeral（葬礼）. All these unbelievable things lead some people to believe that magpies may be the cleverest of all birds.
Well, Beijing’s noisiest bird is also one of its smartest ones. Maybe these little birds can really bring a little luck too.
