It was mid-afternoon. I looked outside my dorm window, and saw the lifeless gray sky, the snow and the trackless sidewalks. There was no one in the snow but a squirrel. The brown-gray North American squirrel, a look of terror in his shining eyes, braving the cold to throw himself over snow. In his mouth was a large acorn （橡实）-I was surprised it fit in his mouth.

I moved closer to my window, outside of which is a medium-sized tree, lacking its warm-weather leaves. The squirrel ran up rapidly, higher and higher in the tree, and his small body held onto his dear acorn.

Up he went, to the tip of one of the highest branches. I held my breath—I wondered if that slender branch could support him. I wondered if his winter food store was in this tree- squirrels are known to hide their nuts, mushrooms, and vegetation high up in trees. Outside, the squirrel firmly grasped that branch, jaw clamping （夹紧）on his acorn.

Then came the wind blowing violently, shaking the tree, the branch and the squirrel. He hung on for dear life, both arms wrapped around the branch in the wind. I held my breath ： If he fell from a height like this, then ... Seeing this little squirrel, I had my heart in my mouth. As the wind became stronger, the squirrel's precious acorn fell to the ground. The squirrel followed its downward progress only by sight—if he let go the branch, he would fall downwards as well. I was so nervous that I didn't take my gaze off the squirrel for one minute. Surprisingly, he then climbed down the tree and was now half-buried in the snow, searching desperately for his acorn. Finally, he made it.

The brave animal is able to survive in nature all because of his desperate efforts. The same goes for us humans. We all work hard to survive, and this is the law of nature. So effort is not something special , but a matter for all living things to do to survive.

24. What did the author discover outside the window?

A. A squirrel was freezing nearly to death.

B. A squirrel was choked by a large acorn.

C. A squirrel was picking acorns from a tree.

D. A squirrel was climbing to the top of a tree.

25. What does the underlined word "slender" mean in paragraph 3?

A. Slim. B. Straight. C. Dead. D. Thick.

26. What is the author's attitude to the squirrel in paragraph 4?

A. Uncaring. B. Unfriendly. C. Concerned. D. Curious.

27. What does the story intend to convey?

A. Facts speak louder than words.

B. Stop struggling, life is stopped.

C. Failure is the mother of success.

D. Teaching others teaches yourself.

C

Recently, a research on how a new virtual reality (VR) experience educated primary children about the fire disasters was done. It was developed by the University of South Australia, aiming to educate children to learn how to be safer in a fire.

Focusing on children aged 10-12 years, the new VR experience presents a situation where children are tasked to look after a friend's dog just before a fire event begins to unfold. They participate in a series of problem-solving activities to help save and protect themselves and the dog.

The findings showed that more than 80 per cent of children reported that they felt more confident to calmly evaluate the options and make wise decisions to protect themselves from a fire. This is especially significant considering that 91 per cent of participants originally lacked any knowledge of fires, and that 67 per cent had said that they were too young to make safety decisions in a fire.

The researchers believed such immersive (沉浸式的)VR experiences had real potential to engage, educate and empower the young. "As children born in digital times, they are engaged by such technology and they can experience events realistically yet within the safe environment," said Delene Weber, one of the researchers. “Well-designed VR can provide an opportunity for children to apply newly acquired knowledge, strengthen their learnt concepts, and enable immediate feedback—all incredibly valuable learning tools.”

Meanwhile, because children have fewer life experiences, aren't as physically strong, and are less likely to have learned much about fire safety, they're often most at risk. Yet the capacity for children to contribute to fire safety at their household should not be underestimated.

“Children do not need to be passive victims of disasters and with purpose-built virtual reality experiences such as these, we can help empower children to understand the risks but realize they can help ,"  said Weber.

28. How does the new VR experience try to educate children?

A. By introducing a virtual friend to them.

B. By analyzing the causes of a fire event.

C. By letting them solve virtual problems.

D. By guiding them to ask a dog for help.

29. What did the result of the research about VR experiences show?

A. Many children found it hard to adapt to them.

B. They could greatly help ensure children's safety.

C. They benefited children with knowledge of fire.

D. Most children had a misunderstanding about them.

30. What does Weber think of the new VR experiences?

A. Unrealistic. B. Dangerous.

C. Unnecessary. D. Significant.

31. What can be the most suitable title for the text?

A. VR experiences educate kids to survive a fire

B. VR experiences make learning easier for kids

C. VR education appeals to the young generation

D. VR technology makes no sense in fighting a fire

The number of birds coming through your neighborhood is changing, and so is the timing of their migrations （迁徙）.Birdwatchers noticing these differences are playing a big part in un­derstanding how climate change and severe weather events are affecting bird population.

John Rowden is director of community conservation at the National Audubon Society, which aims to protect birds and their environment. He said, ”  Birders have to be much more alert （警觉的）to when birds are coming through than they used to be, since birds may be coming through much earlier or much later.”

Rowden said, "Birdwatchers are increasingly seeing birds in their areas that are usually found elsewhere. And they are seeing fewer of the birds that usually travel through. Al­though we have seen these birds? it doesn't mean they'll always be there. They are declining in numbers because we're throwing so many things at them, so we need to do what we can to help them.”

“At least 314 species of American birds are expected to lose 50 percent or more of their range by the end of the century. Those species are listed by the Audubon Society as climate- threatened or endangered Rowden added.

Environmentalists say there are a few easy steps people can take to help struggling bird populations. These include planting native species, which leads to more native insects for the birds to eat. During spring and fall migration seasons, people can help migrating birds by keeping outdoor lights turned off and covering reflective surfaces like large windows. People also should make indoor plants less visible to passing birds.

Geoff LeBaron, director of the Christmas Bird Count at the National Audubon Society, says he has seen the effects of climate change firsthand. "I've been a birder since I was a little kid," he said. "It's clear that climate change is affecting and will continue to affect birds on a global scale? and it's a question of whether or not they can adapt to what the climate is thro­wing at them.”

32. What do the birdwatchers find?

A. Local birds are increasing in their areas.

B. 50 percent of American birds have disappeared.

C. Climate change affects animal population greatly.

D. The number and timing of migrating birds are changing.

33. Why do the birdwatchers have to be more alert?

A. To deal with climate change.

B. To do research on bird population.

C. To watch the migrating birds in time.

D. To help birds migrate successfully.

34. Which paragraph mainly focuses on the ways to help the birds?

A. Paragraph 3. B. Paragraph 4.

C. Paragraph 5. D. Paragraph 2.

35. What does Geoff LeBaron think of the birds' situation?

A. It's worrying. B. It's normal.

C. It's hopeless. D. It's promising.

How adversity （逆境）makes you stronger

When faced with a crisis, we find it difficult to imagine the experience will eventually lead to some type of growth. 36  Research shows that past adversities can help you become more powerful in three ways.

37 Post-unpleasant growth is the experience of positive change after going through a significantly stressful event. Researchers have discovered two common themes that people tend to report after experiencing a stressful event ： spiritual growth and enhanced personal strength.

They build self-efficacy. Self-efficacy is the confidence in your ability to overcome chal­lenges and succeed. I once took part in a program with soldiers, where I should dance in front of hundreds of audience. When I danced, I had a panic attack and had to hang onto my colleague's arm to make it through. What was odd was my brain's reaction to the exercise. While it was a truly unpleasant experience, I survived. 38 

They help you treat stress as a challenge. 39   Some people view stress as a threat, while others are able to view it as a challenge. With a challenge response? you get additional energy and feel focused instead of being fearful.

40   Your past struggles, even small ones during an adversity can help you step out of the trouble you're faced with.

A. They help you find the good.

B. They can bring growth after sufferings.

C. People have a healthier physical response to stress.

D. If your world feels out of control right now, just stay relaxed.

E. The fact is that we can become stronger after a difficult situation.

F. How you think about stress matters extremely in terms of how you process it.

G. That made my brain think about what other tough challenges I could conquer.
