Bao Bao spent about 16 hours on the plane home. A zookeeper and a doctor stayed with her along the way. The zoo also put bamboo, apples, biscuits, potatoes, and water on the plane. Now, Bao Bao is happy at her new home in Chengdu, Sichuan province. (177, 5.7)

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
You might expect native English speakers to be the best at speaking the English language. But some experts believe that when it comes to successfully communicating in English, non-native English speakers are actually better at it.
"Often you have a room full of people from different countries communicating in English and all understanding each other. And then suddenly the American or British person walks into the room and nobody can understand them," Chia Suan Chong, a UK-based communications culture expert, told the BBC.
Chong said that happens because non-native speakers communicate more carefully. "English speakers, on the other, often talk too fast, use jokes, slang and make references to their country that others might not understand," Chong said.
It is something that I keep in mind when talking to my Chinese colleagues. I am careful to speak slowly and use words I know they will understand. Sometimes we confuse each other though. Once I told my colleague "no dramas", which means "no problem". She thought I was calling her a drama queen, though, and got upset!
But don't worry. Experts say that it is the native speaker's fault if they can't understand you, not yours!" "English speakers with no other language often lack awareness of how to speak English internationally," said English language teacher Dale Coulter.
The best way to avoid any trouble might be to ask for some patience. If you find it difficult to understand an English speaker, don't be afraid to ask them to slow down and speak clearly. Questions:
14. Why are native speakers difficult to understand (C)
15. What does the speaker mean by “no dramas” (B)
16. What can you do when you can’t understand native speakers (D)

Good news for awkward teenagers around the world. As time goes by, you could __37__ up like a completely different person.
This comes from the longest running personality study ever __38__ by scientists. According to researchers from the University of Edinburgh in the UK, our personality changes so much from youth to old age that most people's personalities in older age are barely __39__ compared to their younger selves.
The researchers analyzed results from a study in 1947, which gathered 1,208 teenagers in Scotland aged 14 and asked their teachers to __40__ their personalities based on six traits (特征).
Now, more than six decades later, the University of Edinburgh team has managed to contact 635 of the __41__ students, and 174 agreed to have their personalities tested once more.
At an average age of 76.7 years old, the group were asked to __42__ themselves on the same six personality traits, then pick a close friend or family member to do the same.
By __43__ the then-and -now test results, the researchers found that there is hardly any relationship between traits people had as teenagers and those in their older years.
It was "as if the second tests had been given to __44__ people," the study's researchers wrote in their report, which was published in journal Psychology and Aging.
The results were a surprise because research in the past found personality __45__ in people tested from childhood to middle-age, and from middle-age to older age.
As the team explained, our personality appears stable over short intervals -- __46__ so throughout adulthood. __47__, the longer the interval between two tests of personality, the __48__ the relationship between the two tends to be.
It's clear that more studies are needed to find out what's going on here. But it could be the first __49__ that it's not just our cells that are being __50__ throughout life -- the way we think, feel and behave might not be as __51__ as we once thought.

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
One way people are responding to food safety concerns is by growing their own food. However, not everyone lives on property with enough space for a private plot. One solution is community gardens, which have become popular worldwide, numbering 18,000 in North America alone. In addition to providing low-cost, delicious food, these public spaces offer cities a range of other benefits.
Community gardens are located in a town or city and tended by local residents. Often, the land is on a vacant lot owned by the city. The site is divided into manageable plots, which may be tended by individuals or by the garden's members collectively. Since the land is usually publicly owned, the cost for gardeners to lease it is minimal. In fact, New York City, which is home to more than 750 community gardens tended by more than 20,000 members, charges people just $1 a year to lease a plot. Other costs involve soil, tools, seeds, fencing, and so on. However, because they're shared by many people, individual gardeners pay very little.
A community garden can quickly pay off, in terms of delicious fruits and vegetables, in addition to beautiful flowers. Excess produce can be sold for a profit at farmers markets. But a garden's benefits don't stop there. They also beautify cities, foster strong relationships among residents, and lower an area's crime rate. Award-winning spaces like London's Culpeper Community Garden even attract tourists. Beautiful and affordable, community gardens are often described as oases in crowded cities.
52. Community gardens are designed for those who ______.
A. are concerned about food safety
B. live in a house with a private plot
C. can’t afford to buy organic food
D. don’t have their own property
53. New York City ______.
A. is owned by 20,000 individual gardeners
B. charges residents a lot to lease tools and fencing
C. contains more than 750 community gardens
D. is tended by professional gardeners and local residents
54. What’s the benefit of community gardens
A. People can enjoy safe and delicious vegetables and animal meat.
B. Residents are more familiar and related with each other.
C. The neighborhood is becoming safer but of lower taste.
D. People can make some profits from the visiting tourists.

Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way ”
Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: flip (掷) a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.
Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington
Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!
58. Why was the author confused about the task
A. He was unfamiliar with American history.
B. He followed the advice and flipped a coin.
C. He forgot his teacher’s instruction.
D. He didn’t know why the teacher gave such a task.
