The Fire Festival is celebrated in northern Ghana. It’s a holiday we had never heard of before we came to live in a village here as Peace Corps community volunteers. It’s unbelievably great.
On the Fire Festival, drums beat a quick and regular rhythm (韵律) that locals’ dance to in a circle of bodies, men and women, the old and young, holding torches (火把) of burning grass above their heads, which stands for the light and getting off negative energies.
At this moment, this festival is being held at the beginning of the lunar year. The locals are all so lost in the celebration that they don’t pay as much attention to us as they normally will. When they find us taking part just as actively as them, they dance more dynamically and cheer with joy.
Danielle, a friend of mine in the Peace Corps, says, “That we join in the celebration is meaningful because foreigners here are typically seen as the representatives of other organizations, not as people who are willing to join in the Fire Festival rituals (仪式). But in fact, we are dancing and celebrating as one.”
Our two-year Peace Corps service will finish up in mid-December. We can think of no better way to say goodbye than by celebrating the Fire Festival with the villagers we’ve come to know. The festival lets us see a different side of them — and lets them see a different side of us. The neighbors who sell rice are now the women who encourage us to run faster and dance harder at the Fire Festival. And rather than view us as low-key volunteers, they see us as the ones who have crazy dance steps with wild shouts.
24. Why did the author go to northern Ghana
A．To find a job.
B．To go traveling.
C．To study further.
D．To do voluntary work.
25. How do the locals feel when seeing the author and Danielle join in the celebration
A．Excited.
B．Concerned.
C．Stressed.
D．Disappointed.
26. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A．The locals’ ways of celebrating the festival.
B．The secrets of dancing well in the Fire Festival.
C．The reasons for the author’s joining in the festival.
D．The experience of helping the neighbors sell rice.
27. What can we learn from the text
A．Practice makes perfect.
B．A small act of kindness means a lot.
C．When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
D．Where there is a will, there is a way.

Faced with the growing dangers of climate change, scientists are thinking about a new plan: Moving animals in danger to new homes far from their old ones. This method, called assisted migration (迁徙), is meant to save these animals from rising temperatures and habitat (栖息地) loss.
A recent example is the moving of the Tristram’s storm-petrel (海燕), a seabird that usually lives on low islands in Hawaii and Japan. Its main nesting place, Tern Island, is only 1.8 meters high and is being worn away by the sea. So, about 40 young birds were taken 800 kilometers away to Oahu. Biologist Erie VanderWerf of Pacific Rim Conservation said that climate change is making such actions more necessary. The hope is that one day, these birds can be brought back to their original home if the environment becomes better.
This new way of protecting animals is becoming more accepted. There is a plan to change the Endangered Species Act to make it easier to move the most at-risk species to new places. Because of this, officials and scientists have named some animals and plants that might be moved, such as Florida’s Key deer, the Karner blue butterfly, and some desert plants and lizards.
However, not everyone agrees with this plan. Some lawmakers say that putting new species into different ecosystems can cause problems we don’t expect, like creating invasive (入侵的) species or harming the environment in unknown ways.
This discussion shows a big change in how we think about protecting nature. Jason McLachlan, a biologist at the University of Notre Dame, says this is a basic change in our way of saving species. Because climate change is forcing animals to move quickly, the idea of what is “native” is being questioned. In the past, climate changes happened very slowly, over thousands of years, so animals and plants had time to get used to them. But now, the change is too fast for many ecosystems.
28. Why were the storm-petrels moved to Oahu
A．The weather was too cold.
B．Their home was in danger.
C．Scientists needed to study them.
D．Too many petrels lived on Tern Island.
29. What can we know about Florida’s Key deer
A．They live on high mountains.
B．They are under good protection.
C．They may be moved to new places.
D．They are brought back to their home.
30. What is the lawmakers’ concern about the assisted migration
A．It costs too much money.
B．It will change the existing laws.
C．It can bring about more habitat loss.
D．It may lead to unexpected problems.
31. What is Jason’s attitude to the assisted migration
A．Unfriendly.
B．Uncertain.
C．Supportive.
D．Cautious.

Titania Jordan, working at Bark Technologies, knows that parents today face a tough challenge: raising kids in a world filled with technology. That’s why she’s devoted to helping them navigate the digital landscape. “Parents need to be aware of what their children are exposed to online,” she stresses. “It’s not just about monitoring; it’s about understanding and leading them through this new world.”
Jordan and her team work on developing tools that allow parents to protect their children from the dangers of the Internet. “We help parents filter out things like cyberbullying, inappropriate contents, and even potential attackers,” she explains. The platform sends warnings to parents when it detects something concerning, giving them the power to take action.
Jordan believes that education is key. “We need to educate parents about the risks and how to talk to their kids about them,” she says. She often holds classes and talks, explaining why it’s important to talk openly and set good limits on how much technology we use.
One of the biggest problems Jordan addresses is the fear of missing out that children experience when they see their friends posting about fun events which they’re not part of. “It’s crucial for parents to help their children understand that social media often shows the best parts, not reality,” she says. “We need to teach them to appreciate real-life experiences rather than comparing themselves to others online.”
Jordan also stresses the importance of setting a good example. “Parents should model healthy tech habits,” she advises. “If parents are always on their phones, their kids will follow suit. But if parents show balance, it sends a strong message about the role of technology in our lives.”
“Despite the challenges,” Jordan adds, “technology is here to stay, and we just need to ensure it’s used in a way that enriches our children’s lives, not harms them.”
32. What does Jordan suggest parents do when their children use the Internet
A．Offer instruction.
B．Turn a blind eye.
C．Monitor everything.
D．Cut Internet access.
33. What does the underlined phrase “filter out” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Add.
B．Remove.
C．Keep.
D．Mix.
34. How are parents advised to deal with their children’s fear of missing out
A．By asking them to post fun events.
B．By showing them social media’s best parts.
C．By setting a good example in communicating with teachers.
D．By telling them to value reality over online comparisons.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Internet Developments and Threats
B．A Parent’s Guide in Kids’ Digital World
C．Social Media and Mental Health in Teens
D．The Impact of Technology on Child Development

Ways of Studying and Learning Efficiently
Choose a quiet place to study without distractions.

Take short breaks from studying. ___37___ So plan to take a 10-minute break after each hour. If you get stuck on a certain topic, that’s a good time to take a little break so you can come back refreshed. Set a timer on your phone or another device so a short 10-minute breather doesn’t turn into 30 minutes of delay.
___38___ Reading books that challenge you can expand your vocabulary and comprehension skills, which is useful when a teacher assigns linguistically (语言方面的) difficult texts. If you are not already an active reader, start at your level and work your way up.

Create mind maps of topics to help you learn new things. Mind-maps help you make connections between old and new information. ___40___ This practice is especially useful when you need to brainstorm ideas for big projects.
