As temperatures began dropping in South Florida, the US National Weather Service began warning people that iguanas (鬣蜥蜴) might soon fall from trees. It didn’t take long for the prediction to come true when the temperatures fell lower and lower. Several people posted pictures of the fallen iguanas on social media. One person wrote, “It’s true. A lot of iguanas are falling from trees in South Florida.”

What happened? Iguanas are cold-blooded. That means they don’t make their own body heat like humans. Instead, they get their warmth from their environment. When it’s too cold, iguanas fall into a kind of sleep. For iguanas in trees, that means they can lose their hold and fall to the ground.

If you don’t think it seems natural for iguanas to have this problem, you’re right. Green iguanas aren’t actually supposed to be in Florida at all. They were from warmer places. They were brought to Florida by accident. Some were carried on ships. Others came as pets and got free.

Even though iguanas may look dead, they’re usually not. This weekend, experts warned people in Florida not to bring iguanas inside to warm them up. Once they recover (恢复), they’re not always friendly.

28．Why doesn’t it seem natural for iguanas to fall from the trees?

A．Because they are strong. B．Because they stay under trees.

C．Because they usually live in warm places. D．Because they like the cold.

29．What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．It’s not safe to bring fallen iguanas back home. B．Iguanas will die if they fall from trees.

C．Iguanas can get along well with people. D．Iguanas can recover very easily.

30．What is the best title for the passage?

A．Why there are so many iguanas in Florida B．How iguanas get warm during cold weather

C．Fallen iguanas bring trouble to people in Florida D．Florida’s cold weather brings fallen iguanas

Beijing Opera is one of the Chinese traditional drama art forms and it is the largest Chinese opera form. Having a history of more than 200 years, it is developed from many other dramas, mostly from the drama “Huiban”. It was especially popular in southern part of China during the 18th century.

Theatrical(戏剧的）art forms in many other countries do not have singing, dancing, or spoken parts together in one single drama. An opera singer, for example, neither dances nor speaks on stage. There are no singing or dancing parts in a modern play. In a dance drama, the dancer doesn’t speak or sing. Chinese traditional drama, including Beijing Opera, is a kind of entertainment. It includes spoken parts, singing and dancing.

Beijing Opera has spread to many other places. Mei Lanfang, one of the most famous performers of all, once introduced Beijing Opera to foreigners and made wonderful tours to foreign countries.

“ You will doubt and sometimes be a little bored, but you will be interested in it gradually. You will be strongly attracted by Beijing Opera, even though you know nothing about the drama background.”This is how one traveler described his experience in watching Beijing Opera.

Different countries have different customs. There are also some special customs in India. Piplantri is a village in Rajasthan, India. People there plant 111 trees to celebrate the birth of a girl. In Indian culture, the number 111 is a lucky number which can bring success.

Historically, the birth of a girl was considered a symbol of bad luck in lots of Indian villages. As a result, people in the country usually value boys more than girls. That’s why the project of the village is regarded as a great achievement.

According to the record, the custom was first started by the village’s former leader, Shyam Sundar Paliwal. He started the event to commemorate the death of his daughter, Kiran.

They also need to promise that their daughter will receive a proper education and won’t get married until she reaches the age of 18.

By practicing this tradition, the villagers have planted more than 300,000 trees during the past years.

Do you have a pet? Keeping a pet is becoming more popular in China these days and pet owners are now spending more money on their pets than before. According to a report, Chinese people living in cities spent a total of 202.4 billion yuan on their pets in 2019. Most pet owners are people born after 1990. Most of them get high payment and are well-educated.

Pet owners in China are spending more on pet food and clothing. Miss Hu, 28, lives in the city of Chengdu. She spent 6,000 yuan on her two cats last year. She bought cat food from the USA, New Zealand, Japan and Thailand. If she has time, she also cooks for them. And aging society and fewer people having children are among the main reasons why more people are keeping pets. Keeping pets has met their emotional needs of many people.

Almost 60 percent of pet owners see their animal friends as their own children. Being loneliness might be another reason. Many young people are living in their hometowns to make a living in big cities. They are lonely and have great stress. As they have few friends and face a high cost of living, keeping pets will help them feel relaxed.
