They are the sort of friends who are so close they trust each other with their lives. If one falls,the other is there to catch him.

They are Wellman,whose legs were permanently injured nine years ago in a rock-climbing accident，and Corbett，an experienced rock climber.Together，they climbed up Half Dome,the famous2,000-foot rock in the Yosemite National Park, through one of most difficult routes(路线)．

During the climb,Corbett took the lead,hit in the metal spikes(尖状物)that guided the ropes and climbed up.Then,after Wellman pulled himself up the rope, Corbett went down to remove the spikes and climbed up again.This process was repeated time and again,inch by inch,for13days.

Wellman's job was not easy either.He got himself up the rope through upper body strength alone.In all,Wellman figured that he had done5,000pull-ups up the rope on

the climb.

However，when the two men first met,they never talked about climbing.“He knew that was how I got injured.”Wellman said.Until one day Wellman decided that he wanted to climb again and they started training.

Their climb of Half Dome was not all smooth.At one point,pieces of rock gave way,and Corbett dropped down quickly.Wellman locked their rope in place,stopping the fall at20feet.His quick action probably saved his friend's life.

“Your partner can save your life—you can save your partner's life.”Wellman said as the pair received congratulations from friends.“There are real close ties.”24．Which of the following was a challenge for Corbett in climbing Half Dome?

A.To climb up to remove the spikes.

B.To climb it twice.

C.To do5,000pull-ups up the rope.

D.To lock the rope in place. 25．Why did the two men never talk about climbing when they first met?

A.Corbett was poorly trained.

B.Wellman had lost interest in climbing.

C.Corbett didn't want to hurt Wellman.

D.Wellman hadn't decided whether to climb again.

26．What do we know about Wellman?

A.He climbed Half Dome by himself.

B.He was disabled in a traffic accident.

C.He stopped rock-climbing for some time.

D.He was saved by Corbett during the climb.

27．The main idea of the text is that________.

B.friendship is precious in life

C.the disabled should never give up

D.a man can be destroyed but cannot be defeated

C

Last week，we talked about the conflict between sleepy teenagers and early morning classes．Many people commented on our website．

For example，Damla Ece in Turkey wrote：I agree with the idea of starting lessons later so teenagers can feel better in the morning．But sleeping more than seven hours can be wasting time for students．

Tran in Vietnam disagreed：I think teenagers，on average，need eight to ten hours of sleep every day．It's useless to try to force them to concentrate while they can't concentrate．

Afshin Heydari from Iran wrote：Schools should start early to avoid heavy traffic later in the morning．

And Suze from Jordan wrote：When I was a teenager，I enjoyed taking my courses

as early as possible．That way I could find a long time in the day to do my own activities．

But Azra from Kyrgyzstan said：The reason why schools start early here is a lack of classrooms．

And Joruji in Japan wrote：When I was a teenager，I used to get up before six to go to school，which was far from home，and I don't remember having problems．I think nowadays the Internet，TV games and cell phones make teens go to sleep later．Thirty﹣year﹣old Kika in Spain said：In my opinion，young people are very lazy．But Dennis Jin disagreed：For high school students in China，we must reach class at6：20in the morning and be back home usually at10：00in the evening．Then we'll have some extra schoolwork to do．Can you imagine how long could we sleep every day？

Teenagers are not the only ones who suffer．Kathy in Canada wrote：My daughter likes complaining about everything in the morning，and I know that this is from lack of sleep．I wish schools should change their start time to8：30or9：00in the morning．And Naima Star in Libya wrote：Getting up so early in the morning and leaving the warm bed is so difficult，especially in the cold weather．It reminds me of that old song："It's nice to get up in the morning，but it's nicer to stay in bed．"

A.a personal letter

B.a travel guide

C.a geography book

The World Wildlife Fund for Nature-WWF-reports that nearly3billion animals were killed or displaced by Australia’s wildfires in2019and2020.The number, reported in late July,was about three times higher than an earlier WWF estimate.“It ranks as one of the worst wildlife disasters in modern history,”said WWF-Australia Chief Executive officer Dermot O’Gorman.

The WWF said it used different methods to estimate wildlife populations,

including information from over100,000studies.The scientists created models to estimate the number of creatures found in areas destroyed by fire.Project leader Lily Van Eeden from the University of Sydney said the research was the first continent-wide examination of animals affected by wildfires.“Other nations can build upon this research to improve understanding of bushfire impacts everywhere,”she said.

Those creatures that fled destroyed habitats faced a lack of food and shelter or the likelihood（可能性）of moving into already occupied habitats.Researchers said the destruction will cause some species to become extinct before their existence is even recorded.“We don’t even know what we are losing,”said Chris Dickman,a professor of ecology at the University of Sydney.“These were species that were here and now they have gone...It’s almost too tragic(悲痛的)to think about,”Dickman added.

The WWF report calls for improvements in habitat connectivity to help species escape from fires.It also calls for identifying and protecting habitat that was not burned to help save threatened species.An expanded report on the study is expected later this year.

The wildfires started in September2019and continued through March of this year. Scientists say the fires were fueled by higher than normal temperatures and years of drought in the Australian bush.The fires caused34human deaths and destroyed nearly 3,000homes.The WWF said that over the past year,it had raised money from donors to allocate（分配）emergency aid to the front lines of the fires to help injured and displaced wildlife.

32.What do we know about Australia’s wildfires in2019and2020?

A.They were the worst disasters in history.

B.Over3billion animals died in the wildfires.

C.They caused more damage than calculated earlier.

D.Most animals moved to already occupied habitats.

33.How did Chris Dickman feel about the extinction of some species?

A.Astonished.

B.Pained.

C.Annoyed.

D.Puzzled.

34.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.The wildfires last a whole year.

B.The wildfires were caused by the heat.

C.The wildfires also cause damages to humans.

D.The wildfires were soon under control with donations.

35.What lesson can we learn from the text?

A.Humans shouldn’t occupy wildlife habitat.

B.Humans shouldn’t overestimate the bushfire.

C.We should raise money for wildlife protection.

D.We should develop the methods to prevent wildfires.

The development of mobile phone makes us do many things easily.A lot of us enjoy doing it：you turn on the camera on your mobile phone and hold it at a high position,making your eyes look bigger and your cheekbones more marked out.36. There it is your selfie（自拍照）.

Today it's not difficult to find social networking pages full of photos people have taken of themselves and their friends.37As many as91percent of teenagers have posted photos of themselves online according to a recent survey by the US Pew Research Center.

So what are the reasons for the rise of selfie culture?

"The popularity of the selfie celebrates regular people,”Pamela Rutledge,a professor at the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology,told Vogue magazine.

38.

In addition,selfies"allow for a close friendship for long-distance friends,because you can see each other's faces every day",wrote Casey Miller at The Huffington Post.

39."I like having the power to choose how I look,even if I'm making a funny face,"Samantha Barks,19,a high school student in the US,told Vogue.

40.The US psychologist,Jill Weber says"There's a danger that your self-esteem may start to be tied to the comments you get when you post a selfie,and they aren't based on who you are but they're based on what you look like.”Weber told Vogue,"When you get nothing or a negative response,your confidence can go down.”

A.You turn to your best side and click.

B.You will invite your friends to take pictures together.

C.Posting selfies also allows you to control your image online.

D.Selfie culture has become especially related to young people.

E.But experts are concerned that selfies might lead to social problems.

F.Over the past years,"selfie"has become a well-known term across the globe.

Dear Michael,

I’m writing to share something with you.

These days,I am planning to travel abroad during the vacation.I think traveling abroad is very meaningful.Firstly,it can broaden my horizon.When I visit a foreign country,I can learn more about the customs and history of the country.Meanwhile,I can make some more foreign friends there.Besides,communicating with the local people will give me the chance to pick up the language.The most important thing is that I can relax myself and enjoy the beautiful scenery outside China.

Welcome to China when you are free.I do hope you can witness the great changes in China.

Best Wishes！

Yours truly,

Li Hua
