The best holiday trip I have ever been on is a trip to Fraser's Hill in Selangor. Itwas the school holidays and my parents had booked bungalow(平房) at the top of thehill just one and a half hours’drive from K.L.

Then，we got directions to the government bungalow from the locals. Itwas a l5-minute ride to the clean bungalow that was equipped with kitchen facilities,dining hall and TV.

A famously strange statue in the city of Oxford，England recently received officialprotection as a historic landmark. But，Magnus Hanson-Heine，the son of the man whobuilt the artwork，is not happy about the special recognition.

But first，about that statue: It is a 7.6 meter tall model of a shark. The strangepart is in the sculpture's positioning up on the top of the Hanson-Heine house. Itappears from the street as if the huge fish dove straight through the home's roof.

Magnus Hanson-Heine's father，Bill，put up the sculpture in 1986 as a reminder ofwar and nuclear weapons.

Bill Heine was an American who studied law at the University of Oxford and madethe town his home. He got the idea for the sculpture after he heard Americanwarplanes fly over his house one night in April 1986.The next morning，he learned thatthe planes had been on their way to bomb Tripoli，Libya.

Bill put the sculpture on display on August 9 to mark the 41st anniversary of theatomic bomb attack on Hiroshima，Japan.

The image of a shark crashing through the home captured the shock civilians(贫民)must feel when bombs smash into their homes，Magnus Hanson-Heine said. Bill Heinedied in 2019.

Magnus Hanson-Heine calls the local government's declaration about the sculpture“absurd.”His father，he explained，never sought nor accepted permission to put up theshark. In fact，he strongly believed，his son said，that the government should notdecide what art the public should see.

And，Hanson-Heine noted，the same local council that has declared the sharkhistoric and protected，had spent years seeking its removal. The shark's anti-warmessage is just as important today，Hanson-Heine said.

28. What is strange about the sculpture?

A. Its purpose.

B. Its creator.

C. Its position.

D. Its quality.

29. What gave Bill the inspiration for the sculpture?

A. A journey.

B. The Oxford City.

C. Warplanes.

D. A shark.

30. When did the atomic bomb attack on Hiroshima take place according to the passage?

A. In 1941.

B. In 1945.

C. In 1986.

D. In 2019.

31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. The public don't like the sculpture.

B. Hanson-Heine agreed with the council.

C. The council didn't like the sculpture.

D. The shark will be moved to the museum.

Three Chinese astronauts recently arrived at the country's new space station inanother step forward for the growing space power. Here is a look at some of the spacestation's major goals.

The three-member crew will stay for three months in the station's main livingspacc，called a modulc(舱). The module is named Tianhe，which means“Harmony ofthe Heavens”in Chinese. The astronauts will carry out science experiments andperform maintenance. They also plan to complete space walks and prepare the stationto receive two other modules next year.

While China admits it arrived late to the space station game，it says its new stationis modern and includes the latest space technology. Tianhe might even outlast(更长久)the International Space Station (ISS)，which is nearing the end of its operationallifespan(寿命). The recent launch brought back China's crewed space program after afive-year break. China has now sent 14 astronauts into space since its first launch in2003. It is the third country after the former Soviet Union and the United States todo so.

As its economy experienced growth in the 1990s，China made a plan for spaceexploration. Since then，it has attempted to carry out this plan carefully and evenly(平均地).China was banned from joining the ISS. It is likely，however，that China wouldhave built its own station anyway because of its goal to become a major space power.

Ji Qiming is the Assistant Director of the China Manned Space Agency. Herecently told reporters that the building and operation of the space station will raise thelevel of Chinese technologies.He also said it will “accumulate experience for all the people”.

32. What will the crew do in the module?
