join them again the next day.

One wet, rainy April afternoon Miss O' Shay, the principal, sent for Nancy Lee to stop by her
office as school closed. Pupils without umbrellas or raincoats crowded in doorways hoping to
make it home between showers. Outside the skies were grey. Nancy Lee's thoughts were suddenly
grey, too.
She did not think she had done anything wrong, yet that tight (紧的) little knot came
in her throat just the same as she came near Miss O' Shay's door. Perhaps she had banged her
locker too often and too hard. Perhaps the note in French she had written to Sallie halfway across
the study hall just for fun had never got to Sallie but into Miss O' Shay's hands instead.
She knocked on Miss O' Shay's door. That familiarly solid and competent voice said, "Come
in."
Miss O' Shay had a way of making you feel welcome, even if you came to be punished."Sit down, Nancy Lee Johnson," said Miss O' Shay. "I have something to tell you." Nancy
Lee sat down.“But I must ask you to promise not to tell anyone yet."
“I won't, Miss O' Shay," Nancy Lee said, wondering what on earth the principal had to say
to her.
“You are about to graduate," Miss O' Shay said. “And we shall miss you. You have been an
excellent student, Nancy, and you will not be without honors (荣誉) on the senior list, as
I am sure you know."
At that point there was a light knock on the door. Miss O' Shay called out, “Come in," and
Miss Dietrich entered.“May I be part of this, too?" she asked, tall and smiling.
“Of course," Miss O' Shay said.“I was just telling Nancy Lee what we thought of her. But I
hadn't got around to giving her the news. Perhaps, Miss Dietrich, you'd like to tell her yourself."
Miss Dietrich was always direct.“Nancy Lee," she said, “your picture has won the Artist
Club scholarship."
The brown girl's eyes widened, her heart jumped, then her throat tightened again. She tried to
smile, but instead tears came to her eyes.
“Dear Nancy Lee," Miss O' Shay said, “we are so happy for you." The elderly white
woman
took her hand and shook it warmly while Miss Dietrich smiled with pride.
Nancy Lee must have danced all the way home. She never remembered quite how she got
there through the rain. She hoped she had been calm. But certainly she hadn't stopped to tell
anybody her secret on the way. Raindrops, smiles, and tears mingled on her brown face. She
hoped her mother hadn't yet got home and that the house was empty.
31. How did Nancy feel on her way to Miss O' Shay's office?
A. Scared. B. Excited. C. Uncertain. D. Confident.
32. What can we infer from the passage about Nancy?
A. She was Miss Dietrich's best student. B. She would never tell anyone her secret.
C. She was often punished by the principal. D. She would try to hide feelings at home.
33. Which is the best title for this story?
A. A New Star. B. The Girl. C. A Young Artist. D. The News.
D
Many of us stayed at home in January
because ofCOVID-19, but a special mom and
her two babies took a trip. They were driven a
few miles from a breeding center in northeastern
Argentina to a 1.7 million-acre nature reserve
called Gran Ibera Park. There the three jaguars
were released into the wild.
Their release was the first reintroduction of
jaguars in that part of Argentina since the species
(物种) almost died out there 70 years ago. Scientists hope they can turn things around for
this important apex predator, meaning one that is on top of the food chain (链). Only 200
to 300 jaguars remain in the country.
"That is the highest level of protection that can be given in Argentina," says Sebastian Di
Martino. He's the conservation director for Rewilding Argentina, which is one of the organizationshelping to restore jaguar populations.
The jaguars' journey started in 2018 when the park was built in the Ibera Wetlands. Several
thousand jaguars once lived there, along with other important species. But the jaguars' fur was
valuable, so people hunted them. Then farmers cleared the land they lived on. With the jaguars
gone, the ecosystem was out of balance.
“In the absence of this species, ecosystems stop working well and may even collapse," Di
Martino says. "The main prey (猎物) of the jaguar is the capybara and the caiman. They
are very abundant because of the absence of the jaguar, which causes imbalances in the
ecosystem."
The park was the first step to give jaguars a place to live. Then they needed to breed. A
female named Mariua mated with a male jaguar from Brazil. Mariua then gave birth to the two
baby jaguars.
It sounds simple, but the reality is more complicated. Di Martino said that jaguars born at
breeding centers have to learn how to hunt and must not become used to humans. Otherwise, they
will not have success in the wild.
The people who work at the breeding center stay out of sight. They use video cameras to
watch the jaguars from several miles away.“We provide live prey for them, without them realizing
it comes from people," Di Martino said.
Mariua wears a radio collar so researchers can track her and her babies, Karai and Pord.
“So far, so good. She's been hunting capybaras and wild pigs and is raising her babies very
well," Di Martino says.
34. What can we learn about the jaguar?
A. It is found only in Argentina. B. It is taught to hunt by humans.
C. It is not hunted by any other animal. D. It is not considered as a rare species.
35. Which of the following words can best describe Di Martino's job?
A. Exciting. B. Meaningful. C. Surprising. D. Successful.
36. What does the underlined word “abundant" mean in this passage?
A. More than enough. B. Less than enough.
C. Getting more powerful. D. Getting less powerful.
37. The writer mentioned Mariua .
A. to give an example of jaguars' life B. to show the importance of female jaguars
C. to introduce a way of training jaguars D. to explain the method of rewilding jaguars

When things around the house stop working, what do you
usually do with them? If you're like a lot of people, you probably
just throw them away.
In some areas, it's difficult to find people who can make repairs,
and fixing things can be quite expensive. Also, some small objects
are so inexpensive that it's often easier to just buy a new one.
In 2009, Martine Postma from the Netherlands decided there
must be a better way. Her solution was Repair Cafes: places where
people can take broken items. There they will find tools, resources and volunteer experts who are
ready to help with repairs.
Postma's first Repair Cafe opened on Oct. 18, 2009, in Amsterdam, and was a huge success.
News of the cafe spread, and people began asking how they could start their own. In 2011, Postma
set up the Repair Cafe Foundation. This nonprofit organization provides guidance to those hoping
to begin their own neighbourhood repair group.
Today, there are about 2,000 Repair Cafes around the world with meetings usually taking
place once a month. Around 25 objects are repaired during each meeting. Everything is free, but
donations are greatly welcome.
The cafes not only provide help with repairs, they also strengthen community ties.
Neighbours get to know one another as they work together on projects. Moreover, valuable
knowledge is passed along and preserved. Items are kept rather than thrown away, meaning less
rubbish in landfills.
