London is a wonderful and large city. The Thames River runs through the city from west to east, just like the Hudson River in New York. So London has two parts, the South and North. In the North are shops, big parks and quite good places.
The weather in London is mild. In winter it is not very cold and in summer it is not very hot. People say that London is a foggy (多雾的) city and it often rains. It is true. My friend, Linda, lives in London. One day last year, the fog was very thick. All the buses and trains stopped. So she had to walk to school that day.
The food in London is very nice, too. Many people have hamburgers for lunch. They also like Chinese food. Sometimes they have noodles and soup for dinner. But people like fish and chips best. Most visitors in London would like to have fish and chips.

Rik-rrork. That's the sound made by frogs singing at night. You might think the sound was just the musical sounds of nature. You probably didn't realize that you were listening to frogs communicating with one another. These familiar sounds are not random (随意的) but are actually meaningful to frogs.
Being Heard but Not Seen
Frogs are good at being heard but not seen. These animals have several characters that protect them from predators (捕食者). One is their size. Most frogs are small, which helps them hide easily. Many frogs have coloring that allows them to hide in their environment, making it difficult for predators to find them. In addition, most frogs are active at night. So it is difficult for most animals to see them in the dark.
Small but Loud
Frogs call to tell other frogs where they are. Their voices can be very loud. But when frogs feel the footsteps of a larger animal, they become silent.
Many of the world's frogs live in rainforests, where there are many different animals calling to their own species (物种) in their own ways. Frogs need to call loudly enough to be heard through the noise in order to find other frogs.
Singing with Purposes
Peter Narins is a scientist who studies how frogs call one another. He has learned that frogs use their calls to help them tell friends from enemies. They sing the same notes at the same volume (音量) each time they call. In addition, Narins has found that frogs in the same species always sing the same patterns (模式). These patterns are like a code that is different from other animals' calls and difficult for others to copy. Narins also observed that timing plays a role in frog calls. Many frogs call only at a certain time of night.
More Work to Do
Scientists want to better understand the purpose of frog calls. Studies continue to explore the details of frogs' unique communication. Being heard but not seen is one way frogs stay safe. The idea that they have found a way to survive in a dangerous world is simply amazing.
31. Frogs are good at being heard but not seen because _____.
A.they cannot jump high B.they can hide easily
C.they are not active enough D.they have bright colors
32. Frogs need to call loudly to _____.
A.drive away other species
B.tell friends from enemies quickly
C.be heard by other frogs
D.feel the footsteps of a larger animal
33. What can we learn from the passage
A.Frogs always sing the same notes at different volumes.
B.Frogs stay safe in a dangerous world only by their calls.
C.Some frogs call accidentally at different times of night.
D.Some details of frogs' communication still remain unknown.
34. Which is probably the best title of the passage
A.The Songs of Frogs B.The Life of Frogs
C.The Secrets of Frogs D.The World of Frogs

In my hometown, it usually rains all through the fall, winter and spring months, leaving us three months in the summer of beautiful sunshine. We have hot and cold weather but it's never too extreme (极端的). In the mountains we usually get some great snow, and so lots of us go snowboarding, skiing or snowmobiling during the winter months.
