Two years ago, when I was making summer plans, at first I chose Plan A—working at an animal hospital or a place that trains animals to work with the disabled. But unluckily, people needed to be at least sixteen to do such work, and I wasn’t old enough. So I chose Plan B—volunteering at an animal shelter (收容所) in my city.
Working at an animal shelter wasn’t what I expected. I couldn’t wear my favorite T-shirt when training the dogs because the dogs liked giving me big kisses (吻). I couldn’t wear new shoes either when feeding the cats. When the cats disliked some food, they would spit (吐) it out and make my shoes dirty. However, it was still an interesting experience. Although there were many hard jobs, I had great fun playing with the animals. I loved walking around and deciding which dog I should take to the training room.
I spent all summer volunteering, and Plan B is probably the best decision I have ever made. Many people don’t realize that they don’t need to work at the shelter to give assistance. Shelters are often short of necessary things, so collecting money and helping out at the front desk can also be of great help!

A．A joke. B．A letter. C．A story.
5．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A．The experience the writer got there. B．The advice the writer got. C．The reasons why the writer worked there.
6．How did the writer feel about working at the shelter later

7．What does the underlined word “assistance” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Advice. B．Change. C．Help.

China’s 13th scientific expedition (科学考察) to the Arctic Ocean reached the North Pole region (北极地区) on September 5, 2023. You may wonder: What’s the difference between doing research in the Arctic and Antarctica (南极)

Scientists can only set up drifting stations or stations on boats in the Arctic. There are also other differences between the two poles.

People from all countries and regions can go there. They are both cold, but Antarctica is colder. The wind at the South Pole is very strong. It blows away the wind from warmer places. But the wind at the North Pole is not that strong. It mixes with the air from warmer places.

A．September is the perfect time for Arctic trips.
