I still remember some of the experiments we did in school. One day, we wore a blindfold (眼罩) to pretend to be blind (E的). Then, on another day, we wore headphones to experience being deaf (聋的). But 1 don’t remember talking about not having a sense (感觉) of smell. In fact, I didn’t know that some people couldn’t smell until I met Max Christian. Christian was born without a sense of smell. This condition is called anosmia. In the United States alone, more than two million people have anosmia.
So what is life like for these people? Well, having no sense of smell means a loss of taste. To taste foods, we need not only our tongues but also our noses---to smell the foods. “Water, apple juice, coffee... I can never tell the difference between their tastes!” Christian says.
Life also gets a lot more dangerous without a sense of smell. Think of the times you’ve left something on the oven for too long. The first sign (标志) of danger that an anosmie person is able to notice is the smoke (烟).
Like Christian, many anosmic people are born with the condition. Since they can never smell, they never miss smells. But some people get anosmia later in life. Most of these people become depressed about losing their sense of smell. Alice Cox became anosmic after a head hit years ago. “I miss the smell of my son’s hair and the smell of flowers, ” she says. ”I’ve lost an important part of my life that is common to everyone else.”

37. According to the writer, anosmic people ________.
A. can notice the smoke easily
B. can hardly take care of themselves
C. cannot tell the difference between different foods
D. are less able to sense danger in their everyday life
38. The underlined word “depressed” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to very ________.
A. sad B. tired C. angry D. surprised
39. The writer wrote this passage mainly to ________.
A. describe some experiments they did at school
B. ask readers to care for anosmic people
C. tell why some people are born with anosmia
D. share how anosmic people live with their condition
D
It was a warm spring day in 2021. Chen Beier, a reporter from Hong Kong, was on her way to a small village called Atule’er. The small village sits at the top of a high cliff (悬崖). People can only get up to it by climbing a 2,556-step steel ladder (钢梯). It is very dangerous.
So, was Chen looking for adventure (冒险) there? The answer is no. The reporter was trying to show people something.
In February 2021, China got rid of poverty (摆脱贫困). Many people couldn’t believe this, because China has a large number of poor villages. To show the truth to people, Chen went to make No Poverty Land.
The trip was so hard. When she was halfway up the ladder to Atul’er, for example, Chen felt so tired that she could hardly go any further. She was also afraid of heights. The villagers advised her to stop the climb, but the woman didn’t stop.
This steel ladder, in fact, is only six years old. Before it was built, the villagers had to face even bigger danger and use a rattan (藤条制成的) ladder. The government (政府) also built houses for the villagers at the foot of the mountain. Through No Poverty Land, people can easily see how life in poor places of China has been improved.
China has changed (改变) a lot, but some people just find it hard to believe. Now, Chen has shown us what we can do about that: Don’t just tell people about the great changes, show them when you can.

40. From the passage, we can know that ________.
A. Chen went to Atul’er for adventure
B. people all believe China’s great changes
C. it’s better to show people about the great changes than just tell them
D. the government built houses for the villagers at the top of the mountain
41. The underlined word “truth” refers to ________.
A. the trip was hard B. China got rid of poverty
C. Chen went to make No Poverty Land D. China has a large number of poor villages
42. According to the passage, which of the following event may appear in No Poverty Land?
A. The government built a school for kids in the mountains.
B. Gu Ailing won in the Winter Olympic Games.
C. Wang Yaping came back from the space station.
D. A group of elephants walked away from their home in Yunnan.
43. The best title for the passage is ________.
A. No Poverty Land B. Chen Beier’s Adventure
C. Atule’er---a Small Village D. Seeing Changes in China

Jacanas’ eggs are deep brown in color with dark lines. The lines look like paint on the eggs which make the eggs very special. The eggs are also shiny. When they are among the plants in the water, the shiny eggs are not so easy to be found.
Female jacanas and male jacanas have their own different roles. As a role of parent, the male jacana has to build a comfortable nest for the female jacana to lay eggs.

My Winter Vacation Plan
The winter vacation is coming. There are so many things I plan to do. First, I’m going to eat healthier food such as milk, fruit and vegetables. I think they’re good for my health. My favourite sport is playing basketball, so I’m going to play basketball with my classmates on weekends. Then, I plan to read some books, because I believe books are our best friends. And I also want to take up a new hobby. I think singing is a great activity so I am going to sing. Finally, I’m going to visit my grandparents more often because I love them very much.
I’m really looking forward to the winter vacation.
