If you go to the US, you may have a chance to see an unusual “sport” that is becoming more and more popular. It's called rabbit show jumping.

Rabbit show jumping began in Sweden, a northern European country in the 1970s. Members of a small rabbit club started to hold jumping competitions for their pets at that time. By 1987, the sport had become very popular and a national competition was held. Then it spread to other European countries. Its rules were firstly based on horse show jumping, which is an Olympic event. Soon the rules were changed to work better for rabbits.

Here's how the competition works. Each rabbit is led around a course* by its owner. In a straight course, rabbits jump over several bars*, which will fall if the jump is too low. Another course is set up for rabbit agility*. Rabbits not only jump but also need to go across or through special obstacles*. Each rabbit has two minutes to complete the course. The goal is for the rabbit to make itself through without knocking down bars or failing on any obstacles. The “wabbit” winner is the one with the fewest mistakes.

The rabbits are usually trained with food rewards and a few gentle pushes in the right direction. But often they don't need a lot of training, because rabbits like to run and jump naturally.

Rabbits are cute and so fun to watch. Show jumping also gives pets and owners healthy activities to lo together, because people think rabbits are exercising their bodies and minds by running, jumping and thinking. And the competitions are a lot more interesting than simply judging the rabbits on their looks. Maybe some day soon, you're going to watch the “Rabbit World Cup.”

19.Rabbit show jumping first appeared _________.

A.in Europe   B. in a small horse club

C. in the 1980s  D.in the Olympic Games

20.To be the “wabbit” winner, a rabbit should_________.

A. receive plenty of training

B. jump over as many bars as possible

C. cross obstacles with the fewest mistakes

D. keep jumping for two minutes in a course

21.The last paragraph mainly talks about_________.

A. the future of rabbit show jumping

B. the wide spread of rabbit show jumping

C. the ways to prepare for rabbit show jumping

D. the reasons why rabbit show jumping is popular

22.Why does the author write this passage?

A. To ask rabbit lovers to train their pet rabbits.

B. To advise people to hold a Rabbit World Cup.

C. To make more people love and protect rabbits.

D. To introduce the interesting rabbit show jumping.

Have you ever noticed plastic bags, bottles or cups all on rivers? Have you ever thought about a good method to solve the problem? A bubble* system was presented at the ISEF (International Science and Engineering Fair) in May by a 15-year-old high school student called Dakota Perry. She came up with the idea of creating the system when spending time by the river behind her house.

The bubble system works in a smart way. It sends a curtain* of bubbles up from the river bottom and makes the curtain cross the river in a diagonal* line. Then the rubbish will be stopped in the curtain and pushed towards the side of the river by the natural moving water. There, the rubbish will be easily collected and sent to the rubbish bin. The bubble curtain mainly depends on a machine called air compressor*. It sends air through a plastic pipe* with rows of small holes. The air escapes through those holes and creates what looks like a curtain.

In order to make the bubble system actually work and collect rubbish, Dakota focused on working out how much pressure the air compressor should push out. She kept changing different amount of pressure until a full bubble curtain appeared. She also checked the speed of the moving water after rainstorms and then made sure the bubbles still rose in rushing water. To test the curtain's ability of collecting rubbish, Dakota placed plastic bottles into the water. Some bottles were empty, and others were full of small stones. All of the bottles successfully stopped at the curtain, slowly moved along it, and finally reached the edge of the river.

The bubble system works really well. It can be left on for 24 hours a day. That will certainly save human resources and help the community rubbish pickup to enjoy a shorter working hour. Besides, fish can still swim through the bubbles freely and even get more air from the bubbles.

Dakota never stops trying and testing. Now she is planning to run the air compressor with solar energy and also the power from moving water. That will make her bubble system completely green in the future.

23.The bubble system_______.

A. was invented in May  B. was created by Dakota Perry

C. was improved by ISEF D. was presented in a high school

24.Which of the following pictures shows how the bubble system works?

         A                                            B

         C                                            D

25.The very important task to make the bubble system work is to________.

A. find out how fast the bubble curtain moves

B. change the pressure to create more bubbles

C. check how much energy the air compressor needs

D. make sure the bubbles can rise in different situations

26.What can we know about the bubble system from the passage?

A. It needs to have a shorter working hour.

B. It will produce greener energy in the future.

C. It creates a better living environment for the fish.

D. It makes the bottles with stones fall down the river.

Mrs Robertson was our fifth-grade teacher. She would give us a high five if we did well on a test. She would hug us when we had a bad day. She would also say goodbye to each of us as we walked past her in line after school. No other teacher did that.

Friday was the last day of this term. Everyone would come to school with a present for her.

“What are you getting for Mrs Robertson?" Charlene asked.

I didn't answer, for I wanted to make it a surprise. Actually, I planned to buy a Chia Pet which would grow grassy hair if people put chia seeds inside a pot and watered it.

But when I told Mum about it, her eyes went wide. “A Chia Pet of twenty dollars! We can't go around buying people presents that cost twenty dollars. We'll be out our food money!”

“It's not just anybody. It's Mrs Robertson!” I said, “She's my favourite teacher. Everyone will give her a good present. I'll be the only one who is empty-handed!”

“I've already bought one,” Mum stopped me and took out a plastic bag. “Your teacher is a working woman, like me. I know what she needs.”

Mum was holding a pair of packaged pantyhose* with the price in the corner saying $1.49. Imagined Mrs Robertson opening this present in front of the class. I could already hear Charlene's laugh.

“No!” Tears started to cloud my eyes.

"This is what we'll give her.” Mum made the final decision.

I finally took the pantyhose to school on Friday. Mrs Robertson's desk was quickly covered with presents, but mine was actually under her desk near the rubbish bin, where it belonged. I had put it there on purpose during lunch.

I tried my best to forget the present during vacation. But soon, it was time to go back to school.

Surprisingly, when I was going to sit down, I found a note inside my empty desk.

Dear Maria,

Thank you so much for your present. How do you know that I always tear* my stockings under the

Your friend,

Mrs Robertson

I checked what Mrs Robertson wore today. She was wearing the pantyhose, and maybe they were the ones I gave her. Best of all, no one else knew. I smiled and put the note inside my pocket.

27.What was Mrs Robertson like?

A. Strict. B. Caring. C. Creative. D. Humorous.

28.Why did Maria put her present under the desk near the rubbish bin?

A. She planned to give Mrs Robertson a big surprise.

B. Mum ordered her to put the present in a secret place.

C. There was no room for her present on the desk any more.

D. She hoped Mrs Robertson could ignore the terrible present.

29.What can we infer from the story?

A. Maria would buy a better present after reading the note.

B. Mum and Maria had the same view on choosing presents.
