In 2017，a famous painting called A Thousand Li of River and Mountains was on show at the Palace Museum in Beijing.This 900-year-old artwork attracted （吸引） lots of people.Among them was Gui Haowen，then a 16-year-old high school student.
Gui took some photos with her phone，but they didn't show the painting's beauty well.This made her want to learn more about photography and start taking pictures of cultural relics （文物）.
However，taking photos in museums isn't easy.Museums don't let visitors use flash or tripods （闪光灯或三脚架），and the lights are often not very bright. "Taking a clear photo in those conditions is difficult，" Gui said.But she didn't give up.She tried to be creative.For example，when she took a photo of a silver bowl，she used the shadows （阴影） to make it look like an ink painting.
Gui didn't just take photos.She also studied the history of cultural relics.By understanding the stories，she could take better photos of them.Gui visited around 60 museums and took countless pictures.Whenever she travelled to a new city，a trip to the museum was always at the top of her list.
In 2022，Gui began sharing her cultural relic photos online.Many young people enjoy her works and are becoming more interested in Chinese culture.
18.What made Gui Haowen want to take up photography？______
A. Her great interest in cultural relics.
B. Her bad phone photos of a great painting.
C. Her dream is to become a famous photographer.
19.What does the underlined word "conditions" mean？______

Do you ever wish your pet could talk？Well，some animals on the Internet are doing just that.With the help of their owners' a lot of training and some special buttons（按钮），pets are learning to "talk"in their own ways.
A popular pet right now is Merlin，an 8-month-old mini pig.People call him"the world's smartest pig".His owner，Mina Alali，put videos of him using buttons to communicate online.Each button has a different word，like"walk"or"food".Merlin presses（按） them to let Mina know what he wants.
Merlin isn't the only pet to learn this cool skill!Some pet dogs，cats，horses，monkeys and even parrots have all been doing the same.Bunny the Talking Dog is another star online with over 8 million followers!She can use over 50 buttons to make sentences and ask questions，though it sometimes takes her owner a while to understand what she means.However，for a pet，it's still amazing!
So，how do you teach a pet to"talk"？
First，get some buttons you can record your voice on.Then，use words your pet hears often，like "treat"，"walk"，or"play".Say the words clearly many times before you press the buttons.For example，"Want a TREAT？Let's get a TREAT!"Next，put the buttons in a quiet，easy-to-reach place.At last，teach your pet to press it with a paw（爪） or nose.Reward（奖励） them by giving them a real treat when they try!
It takes a lot of time and patience（耐心），and not every pet will be able to learn to do it.But that's okay.Even without buttons，your pets can show their love to you in their own special ways!
22.Why does the writer talk about Merlin and Bunny？ ______
A. To give examples of pets that can"talk".
B. To encourage people to be kind to animals.
C. To show one animal is better than the other.
23.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about？ ______
A. Tools for teaching pets to"talk".
B. Steps to teach a pet to"talk".
C. Reasons to communicate with pets.
24.Which of the following is an opinion？ ______
A. Use words your pet hears often.
B. Merlin is an 8-month-old mini pig.
C. However，for a pet，it' s still amazing!
25.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage？ ______
A. ①/②③④/⑤⑥ B. ①/②③/④⑤/⑥ C. ①②/③④/⑤⑥

I know it isn't easy for you to learn Chinese.Here's a study plan for you.
First of all，to improve your pronunciation，you can listen to Chinese radio every day.Joining a Chinese corner is also a good way to practice speaking.Second，as for writing，I suggest you learn five common Chinese characters daily and try to make sentences with them.Third，to master grammar，you can do grammar exercises and make grammar cards.Besides，watching Chinese movies is also helpful.
Don't give up.I believe you will make great progress if you stick to the plan.
Yours， Li Hua
