website message board.

I’m a Chinese student in America. My hometown used to be very poor. But it has
changed now. Most people in my hometown have a good standard of living and some can

Sometimes animals can do strange things. Here are two true stories about people and animals. A pet lizard was
kept in a biology classroom. The students looked after it well and loved having it in the classroom. However, large
lizards like being alone and don’t really like lots of people around them all the time, especially noisy girls and boys
at school. The large lizard noticed that whenever the alarm bell rang during the school’s practice fire drills （消防
演练）, all the children and their teachers ran out of the classroom, leaving the lizard behind, in peace and quiet for
a while. Over several weeks, there were quite a few false （假的） fire alarms. Someone noticed that every time
the alarms went off, the lizard was out of its cage （笼子）. So, the children decided to watch the lizard. To their
surprise, they found that it climbed over to the fire alarm on the back wall and set it off （弄响）! The lizard just
wanted to be left alone.
A tourist was driving along a road one evening, and he accidentally ran over a kangaroo. The tourist thought
that no one would believe him, so he decided to take a photo of the kangaroo with his mobile phone. He picked the
dead kangaroo up and put it next to the car. He then took off his jacket and sunglasses and put them on the
kangaroo to make his photo more interesting. All went well, suddenly, the kangaroo woke up! It had only been
knocked out but not actually dead! As soon as the kangaroo woke up, it ran away, wearing a jacket, which kangaroo
also included three credit cards （信用卡）, one passport and $1,000 in cash! What a lucky kangaroo!阅读以上短文，根据其内容回答其后各个小题。

Six weeks before his 97th birthday, Giuseppe Paterno made his dream of a lifetime come true: He got a
university degree.
Mr. Paterno’s story has been reported around the world, and draws wide attention, partly because of his age,
the more important part is that his life story shows his belief. He has encouraged millions of children in Italy and
elsewhere while they are facing difficulties during the coronavirus pandemic （新冠疫情）.Born in Palermo in 1923, the first of seven children in a very poor family, Mr. Paterno began working soon
after finishing primary school. It was only after he retired in the mid-1980s that he returned to his books.
“His story shows that dreams can come true and that you can remain young-not in age but in spirit-if you
develop interests,” said Rosella Cancila, his teacher of history at the University of Palermo.

Italy’s university system is based on a three-year degree then a two-year master’s course. University officials
are hoping that Mr. Paterno will continue his studies.
But he isn’t so sure. “I have to say that in this moment, I don’t know whether I would keep on studying with
the same spirit,” he said, adding that all the attention had made him a bit tired. Still, Mr. Paterno said that he would
probably try to get his master’s degree but he hadn’t decided yet.
