Dear Abby,
I'm happy to hear that you will visit Hangzhou soon. Let me tell you some traditions in my home town.
First, when you are in Hangzhou, you must walk on the right side of the road. Unlike London,the traffic here keeps to the right. Second,you should say hello instead of nodding when you meet others for the first time.Third,we usually use chopsticks to eat food.When you have dinner with a Chinese family the host usually asks you to eat more food. If you are full,you needn't eat up all the food on the plate.After dinner,the host often makes tea for you.When it's time to leave, don't forget to say goodbye politely.
I hope you will enjoy yourself here.
Yours,
Lingling

Honeybees are great dancers,but they don't just do it for fun.Scientists have long known that honeybees wiggle their bodies.It is their way of sharing information.
When a bee starts dancing, it steps forward.At the same time,it wiggles side to side.It keeps doing this while it moves around. Scientists call this the “waggle dance”.It helps other bees find food.The bee's position tells them which way to fly. The more a bee wiggles, the farther away the food is.The longer it repeats these moves,the tastier the food is.
Now a new study shows that honeybees don't have these dance skills at birth. Young bees learn them by watching the older bees. In March 2023scientists from the University of California,San Diego,published(v.发表)these findings in a scientific magazine.
The study finds that bees can learn by imitating each other.This is called “social learning”. Many animals learn in this way, like monkeys and birds,but most of these animals have bigger brains(n.大脑). Bees have much smaller brains.
To know how bees learn the waggle dance, scientists recorded videos of honeybees in a lab. They compared two groups of young bees which were 10 days old.In the first group, young bees could watch older ones dance.In the second group,young bees could not watch older dancers. They found that the ones in Group 1 were better dancers while the ones in Group 2 were not good at the waggle dance.
34.The picture which best describes "waggle dance" is____
35. The writer mentions monkeys and birds in Paragraph 4 to show that _____
A. they're much cleverer than bees
B. bees also learn by copying each other like them
C.they have bigger brains than bees
D. bees have smaller brains than them
36. Scientists get to know the truth about honeybees' dance by__________
A.doing experimentsB.telling stories to bees
C.talking with peopleD.taking pictures of bees
37.The best title for the passage is probably __________.
A. Older bees teach young ones how to dance
B. Honeybees are good at looking for food
C.How to dance well to get tasty food
D.An important study on bees in 2023

A few years ago, I volunteered as a Reading Mom in a primary school. When I saw Ronny for the first time, he was just like any other kid in his class.However, he usually arrived at school wearing old clothes. On the day when it was Ronny's turn to read, he sat very close to me.I watched his fingers move slowly under each letter as he tried to speak out“Bud the Sub".It sounded more like“Baw Daw Saw" when he said it because of his difficulty with the alphabet.
The year passed quickly and Ronny had made progress but he was still below the level of grade. A few weeks before the school year ended, I held an award ceremony.I had gifts and certificates for everyone. It took me a while to think about which Ronny fitted. I believed the gift could cheer him up. I finally decided on “The Most Progressive Reader”.I showed his certificate and gave him a book.
A few days later I saw Ronny reading the book when I went back to the school.His teacher said,"He hasn't put that book down.That's the first book he's ever owned.”Fighting back tears, I came near Ronny and asked,”Will you read me your book,Ronny ”He nodded. And then,for the next few minutes, he read to me more smoothly than I'd ever thought. Then Ronny closed his book and said."Good book."At that moment.I knew I needed to do what a writer should do-care children and make them excellent.
38. The writer found that Ronny had problem with _________.
A. writing B.grammar C. pronunciation D. listening
39.According to Paragraph 2 we can know that Ronny ___________.
A. tried his best to read better B. could read the alphabet best
C. was above the level of grade D.did as well as the other students
40. According to the passage,we can infer that the writer is ________.
A.talented and successful B. serious and strict
C. humorous and creative D.loving and helpful
41.By telling the story of Ronny,the writer wants to tell us that _________.
A.Children should be encouraged in their study
B.Many children are having a hard time at school
C.Most children like to read if they have good books
D. All the writers can be good teachers in primary schools
D
Mice are used in lab tests all over the world.But why should they suffer this pain
In the United States alone, more than 100 million lab mice are killed every year. Some of them are slowly poisoned to death. Some are placed on hot plates, heated to 60℃, to see how long it takes for them to respond to the heat Some are given deadly diseases.Some have holes drilled into their skullsfor brain experiments. And in some experiments, mice's tails are cut off without painkillers.
Mice are mammals.They have nervous systems similar to ours. They feel pain, fear and loneliness — just as we do. They are social animals as well. They love their families and “talk"with each other using sounds that the human ear cannot hear.
Although lab mice suffer as much as lab dogs and lab cats,they are not given as much protection as the dogs and the cats are. Labs can use as many mice as they want to. They don't even have to count the mice they kill. Few of them are looking for modern alternatives(代替品）.
Perhaps you can help make a difference. Do not support companies that test on mice or other animals.You can let more people know the facts about lab mice by setting up open classes in your neighborhood. Also,you can ask the local labs to think twice before they do experiments using mice.
42.According to the author, how many lab mice are killed in the United States every year
A. Nearly 1,000.B. Nearly 100,000.
C. Nearly 1,000,000. D.Over 100,000,000.
43.What does paragraph 3 mainly talks about
A.What mice's nervous systems are like
B.How mice and human beings are alike
C.How mice communicate with each other
D.What makes mice feel pain, fear and loneliness
44.We can do all of the following to “make a difference" EXCEPT ______.
A.fight against companies that test on mice
B.let more people know the facts about lab mice
C.support companies that test on animals except mice
D.ask the local labs to think twice before they test on mice
45.The writer writes the passage to __________.
A.explain how mice are treated in experiments around the world
B.share her personal experience of saving mice from her local lab
C.tell people how important mice have been to scientific development
D.encourage readers to do something to help stop the use of lab animals

In many countries,you can only get proper full-time job if you are 16 or 18 yearsold. But there are things that teenagers insome places can do to earn some pocket money.Here are a few ideas.
Parents who have a small child want to go out for the evening for dinneror to the cinema,but they don’t want to leave their children alone. So,they ask a teenager to stay in the house and look after him or her while they are out. And if the child's asleep,you can do your homework and not waste time.
Some adults have a dog but they don't have time to take it for a walk. Dogs need a lot of exercise! So some teenagers can be dogwalkers. It's a good idea to earn money and you get some exercise in the fresh air at the same time.
Teenagers can deliver newspapers.Usually you ride a bike around a neighborhood and leave the newspaper at each house. Normally you have to have your own bikeand you have to get up early, too, because people want their newspaper to read when they are having breakfast.
Lots of older people are happy for teenagers to help them carry their shopping or do small things in their homes, like washing or ironing or staying with them. You earn money, and people in the neighborhood get your help.
It's crazy for adults to drive to an expensive car wash when they can get a teenager to do the job for less money. Wash the car well and carefully and people will want you to do it again. Then you've got customers!
But don't forget it's important always to tell an adult where you're going. Be safe! Don't be stupid!
Teenagers: _______71_______
Introduction You can’t get a proper, full-time job unless you are as old as 16 or 18.
