If you grew up in an unusual family and felt limited（受限的）, how would you change your life story In the book Educated, the US writer Tara Westover shows us how she deals with（处理）hard times.
The book talks about Westover's life. Her father had a junkyard（垃圾场）in Idaho, US. It's a very small mountain village. Tara and her brothers and sisters worked every day. Before she turned 17, she had never traveled outside. None of the kids in her family had ever been to a school or a hospital. As she got older, she felt that she needed to get away from this uncomfortable situation. Luckily, Westover's older brother taught her to read. With hard work, Westover went to college, and later got a PhD（博士学位）in History at Cambridge University.
Education changed her, her life, her way of thinking and even her luck. After reading the book, I come to feel the deepest thanks for my own family, and the education I got. Education allows girls like Westover to fly like birds toward their own goals. It allows us to get a different view, find new experiences, better understand others and explore the wider world. I wish for all of us to be like free and powerful birds, growing and changing through challenges and difficulties.
24. What's the main purpose of Paragraph 1
A. To ask for readers' advice. B. To ask readers to buy the book.

C. Her life in the village was comfortable. D. She left the small village when she was little.

Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for directions.
A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 metres and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert （沙漠）, so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It's like someone walking six kilometres through a dark forest.
Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have the similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area.
Some animals can sense the Earth's magnetic field （磁场）, while humans can't. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that It is still a mystery. Scientists have not found the answer yet.
However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for directions, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals.
28. How can a certain kind of ants find their way
A. By imagining the way. B. By counting their steps.
C. By bringing food together. D. By walking through a forest.
29. What can some fish do with the help the Earth's magnetic field

B. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large area.

D. They can make a smell map of their swimming area.
30. What are people advised to do according to the last paragraph
A. To help animals. B. To travel at night.
C. To keep city lights on. D. To develop unusual abilities.
31. Which can be the best title for the passage
A. Birds' Sense of Light B. Fish's Sense of Smell
C. Animals' Sense of Direction D. Animals Can Sense the Magnetic Field
（D）
In December 2020, the “quiet carriage （车厢）” service was first introduced on some trains of the Beijing- Shanghai high - speed railway and the Chengdu- Chongqing high - speed railway.

Dear editor，
I think everyone needs friendship. I have a friend. I met Peter in primary school. We found ourselves sitting next to each other. At first we were just friends at school，but as we grew older，we started doing other things together. We would spend time at each other's houses at the weekend，and our parents took us away on holiday together. We were like brothers almost. But then we went to different junior high schools and we didn't see each other very often. But then one evening when I joined a new football club，I found Peter in the club. So we started practising together twice a week，and later playing in the same team. In fact，we built a great goal﹣scoring partnership，probably because we knew each other so well. He made me understand that persistence is victory. We learn from each other，help each other and grow each other. I think we'll still be close friends in the future.
Yours，
Li Hua
