Tnight, ur family was ging ut t play under the full mn.
My husband Tdd and I first started ging n full mn walks fr urselves, as we needed these little dses f mnlight t stay happy, thugh smetimes we had t hike thrugh the frest t find a perfect spt. But after we became parents, we did this fr ur children. We wanted t shw Sierra and Bryce that it was nt necessary t travel far frm hme t have an adventure and learn smething new, and that there was much magic in the natural wrld, available t all.
Once we arrived at ur lcatin, Sierra and I std hlding hands, waiting t cheer the full mn in its rising —a thin sliver f the appealing mn emerged abve the ridge f the muntain afar. Sn, mre f the mn came ut until it turned int a brilliant range sphere. Tdd explained t Sierra and Bryce that the mn generates n light, but simply acts like a mirrr, reflecting the sunlight back t us. “Des the mn’s face change?” Bryce asked. I tld him that the mn rtates(旋转)arund the earth, but des nt spin by itself, s the same side f the mn is always facing the earth. Sierra remarked that the mn lked larger and clser when it was rising. I explained that it is a visual illusin(错觉)because it is s clse t the hrizn that the mn magically tricks ur eyes int cmparing it with nearby bjects, thus creating the impressin f the increased size.
Much f the knwledge that I shared with the kids was learned frm my parents. During my childhd, they wuld take me n educatinal adventures ut in the wds, and as I later fund, s did their parents. S every time I g fr a full mn walk with my belved family, I thank thse wise educatrs wh came befre me.

As humanity has gt richer, animal’s rles have changed. Peple need their services less than befre. Fewer wlves and thieves meant less demand fr dgs fr prtectin; the internal cmbustin engine(内燃机)made hrses unneeded; mdern sanitatin(卫生设备)kept rats in check and made cats less useful. Dmestic animals are n lnger necessities, but cmmnly seen cmpanins. Pet-keeping seems t becme mre and mre ppular, as a recent survey fund that 69% f American husehlds keep at least ne pet.
The pet business is grwing even faster than pet numbers, because peple are spending mre and mre mney n them. N lnger are they fd-waste-recyclers, fed with the remains that fall frm their masters’ tables. Pet fd shelves are full f cuisines tailred t satisfy a range f appetites, including ice cream fr dgs and fds fr pets that are ld, diabetic, r suffer frm sensitive digestin.
In the business, this is called “pet humanizatin”—the tendency f pet wners t treat their pets as part f the family. This is bvius in the names given t dgs, which have evlved frm Fid, Rex, and Spt t Bella, Lucy, and Max.
Peple still hld the false assumptin that pets must be wrking fr humanity in sme way, perhaps making peple healthier r less anxius. But the evidence fr that is weak. New research suggests that dgs have evlved thse “cute eyes” t affect human emtins and cntrl them, which wrks very well. Humans nw wrk very hard t pay fr the care f their pets. Fr example, Americans ften refer t themselves nt as cat wners but as the cat’s “mmmy” r “daddy”. Suth Kreans g ne step further, describing themselves as cat “butlers(管家)”. Watch an unlucky man walking his dg, plastic bag in hand t pick up its mess, and we have t dubt: wh’s in charge nw? Is this relatinship what we really want?
28. What can we learn abut the animal-keeping trend?
A. Peple’s needs fr animal services are increasing.
B. The price fr purchasing a dmestic pet is n the rise.
C. Pet fds are less varius and custmized than befre.
D. Bth the pet number and the pet business are grwing.
29. Which f the fllwing is the evidence f “pet humanizatin”?
A. Pets’ ability t make their wners less anxius.
B. Human’s increasing investment in pet-keeping.
C. Pet’s rles as bth wrking staff and cmpanins.
D. The wners’ preference t give pets human names.
30. What is the authr’s attitude twards the current human-pet relatinship?
A. Skeptical. B. Cnservative. C. Unclear. D. Apprving.
31. Which might be the best title f the passage?
A. The Changing Rles f Pets B. The Grwing Trend f Pet Business
C. The Craze fr Pet-keeping D. The Prs and Cns f Keeping Pets
D
Hibernatin(冬眠)is a classic tpic f science fictin. In mvies such as 2001: A Space Odyssey, Alien, r Passengers, crew members are put int a state f sleep t take year-lng jurneys t space. Nw a new study frm Washingtn University has shwn that human hibernatin may sn becme a reality.
The research team carried ut tests n rats —animals that d nt naturally hibernate. They first identified a grup f neurns(神经元)in a deep brain regin, which were fund t be invlved in cntrlling bdy temperature during hibernatin. They shwed that, in mice, these neurns culd be stimulated using ultrasund(超声波), which was delivered thrugh a helmet withut causing an injury.
When receiving the ultrasund, the mice shwed a drp in bdy temperature f abut 3℃, and their heart rates fell by abut 47%. When the ultrasund system was switched ff, they wke up again. The result was “surprising and fascinating”, said Hng Chen, a prfessr wh led the wrk.
Researchers are als trying t determine hw t harness the pwer f hibernatin t help humans. They believe that it culd be key t addressing health cnditins like heart disease, and Alzheimer’s. Furthermre, hibernatin’s ability t slw aging, which was bserved in bats, culd benefit space explratin, enabling lnger missins with less fd requirements. Research in animals als suggests that bdies f hibernating astrnaut s might lse less bne and muscle, making them fit and ready t start challenging explratin sn after they wake up.
By unlcking the secrets f this remarkable prcess, researchers may uncver ways t imprve human health, as well as gain new insights int the natural wrld. Therefre, the explratin f hibernatin is an exciting area that is sure t yield numerus benefits in the years t cme.
The scientists nw plan t lk at hw lwered bdy temperature might affect the cgnitive abilities f humans. “Our next experiments will test wrking memry in mnkeys. This is imprtant because while astrnaut s physically hibernate as they fly int deep space, their brain still needs t be wrking,” said Chen.
32. Hw did researchers put rats int hibernatin?
A. By lwering their bdy temperature.
B. By activating specific brain neurns.
C. By putting a regular helmet n them.
D. By using ultrasund thrugh an peratin.
33. What des the underlined wrd “harness” in Paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A. Emply. B. Challenge.
C. Overlk. D. Discver.
34. What advantage might hibernatin bring t humans?
A. It imprves peple’s mental health.
B. It predicts a variety f heart diseases.
C. It helps astrnauts keep physically fit.
D. It enables astrnauts t build up muscle.
35. What’s the purpse f the last paragraph?
A. T pint ut the significance f the study.
B. T bring ut the fcus f fllw-up studies.
C. T discuss ther factrs affecting hibernatin.
D. T explain practical applicatins f the finding.

I sat in my parents’ car. Mm had insisted I g with her t pick up Dad frm wrk. Acrss frm Dad’s ffice is a bike stre. That was the day my eleven-year-ld eyes first saw the purple BMX Mngse bike. Frm that day n, all I culd think abut was that bike. I even drew pictures f the bike in class. Every evening afterward, at five thirty, I eagerly went alng with Mm t get Dad.
And every day I tld my parents, “I want that bike!” But they disagreed and replied that I had already had a perfectly gd bike at hme. I’d argue it was ld and ugly, thinking that my happiness depended n that purple bike. Days later, I fund the stre had sld that bike. I knew I’d never be happy again.
A week later, returning hme frm schl, I tripped ver smething. Lying in the weeds near a river and sme wded lts, was a bike — the exact bike frm the stre. “Hey, whse bike is this?” I shuted, scanning the area. N ne replied, and there was n ne in sight. Maybe its wner didn’t want it any lnger. I culdn’t leave it lying in the weeds. S I tk it hme and hid it behind the garage. Every day after schl, I sat there, admiring it. But I didn’t feel like riding and didn’t feel as happy as I had thught. Thinking abut the bike made my stmach tighten and uncmfrtable.
A few days later, during lunch at schl, my friend said, “Did yu hear abut Tyler, in the ther fifth-grade class? He lst his new purple BMX Mngse bike he had just gtten fr his birthday. He left it by a river while playing in the wds. It gt dark, and he culdn’t find it.”
“I’d never g ff and leave a new bike like that. He desn’t deserve t have that bike,” I replied. My friend added, “Kids say he’s nice. And they say Tyler is upset because his dad wrked vertime t buy the bike fr him.” Fr the rest f the day, I culdn’t stp thinking abut Tyler.

My Vlunteering Experience
As a pwerful way t give back t the cmmunity and make a psitive impact n the lives f thers, vlunteering serves as an indispensable way t prvide individuals with a sense f fulfillment and cnstruct a mre supprtive sciety.
My experience f wrking in a lcal nursing hme can’t illustrate the pint better. During the memrable experience, I spent quality time engaging in cnversatins, helping the elderly with daily tasks, and ffering cmpaninship t them. Additinally, we als arranged sme interactive activities, such as staging singing and dancing perfrmances, making delicate cards with them, which eased their lneliness and brught a sense f warmth. It was incredibly rewarding t see the smiles n their faces and t knw that I was making a difference t their lives.
It was such a meaningful experience that nt nly did it enrich my life but als served as a reminder f the pwer f spreading kindness and supprting thse in need.
读后续写范文:
After schl, I returned hme and dragged t my rm. Feeling a stab f guilt verwhelming me, I threw myself n the bed and buried my face in the pillw, tears f regret rlling dwn my cheeks. With my friend’s wrds lingering in my mind, I felt my stmach ached badly frm the shame. Staring at the my drawing f the bike, I gradually realized that I needed t fix it and made up my mind t cnfess and return the bike. Hwever, nt knwing where he lived, I gathered all my curage and came up t mm t ask fr help, telling her everything with uneasiness. T my surprise, instead f giving me a gd sclding, mm just ndded apprvingly and patted me gently n the head.
“I knw Tyler’s huse,” Mm said. “I’ll drive yu there.” When carrying the bike and heading twards his huse, I felt s nervus that my thrat tightened and my palms kept sweating. When we finally arrived, hesitant thugh I was, I clenched my fists and kncked at the dr. Seeing Tyler cming ut with his face lit up by the bike, I immediately explained in a weak vice and made a sincere aplgy. T my surprise, instead f getting mad at me, he frgave me with a brad smile, hugging me sftly and even ffering t lend me his bike. Feeling relieved n the way hme, I came t realize that t live a life f hnesty and integrity is a respnsibility f every decent persn.
