A squirrel(松鼠)that was nearly killed nine years ago continues to visit the family that saved, raised and later sent her into the wild.
In October 2009, a four-week-old squirrel was almost killed by an owl(猫头鹰). Luckily, a wildlife rescue group saved her and left her in the care of Brantley Harrison and her family in South Carolina. The Harrisons often look after wild animals and later send them back into the wild.
The Harrisons named her Bella. With three other squirrels, Bella stayed in Brantley’s care until spring. During her stay Bella acted similarly to the other squirrels. In April 2010, the squirrels were sent back into the wild. Bella, however, wasn’t ready to leave her human family. Within days of being released, she started visiting them, looking for treats. Brantley said that the other squirrels also came back over the first few days, but within a week they stopped coming by and began to avoid people.
“Bella usually sits at the front door, waiting for someone to notice her. She comes almost day,” said Brantley. Her husband John often brings Bella nuts as she is usually waiting by the door for him. Actually Bella has become a member of the family.
For nine years, she continues to visit them. Brantley said, “If Bella can teach at least one person to care for all living things, no matter how big or how small, then we have done what we have set out to.”

On the early morning of December 17, the Chang’e-5 lunar probe (月球探测器) landed safely on the grasslands in Inner Mongolia, meaning the Chang’e-5 mission (任务) ended successfully.
Chang’e-5 was launched from the Wenchang Space Launch Center in Hainan Province on November 24, 2020. On December 1, the probe got to the moon. During the stay on the moon, it collected 1,731 grams of rock and soil samples (样品). On December 3, our national flag was shown on the moon. After that, the probe was ready to go home.
China is no stranger to lunar exploration (探月) programs. Over the years, it has sent a number of increasingly challenging missions to the moon. One of the most famous missions was the historic landing of Chang’e-4 spacecraft on the moon’s far side in 2019. As Chang’e-5 reached a new area of the moon, this launch successfully pushed the limits (极限) even further. It’s no doubt a great step forward for the space industry.
This is a truly historic event for China’s space program, making China the third nation in the world to bring samples back from the moon. The success has also made Chang’e-5 the first spacecraft to bring back samples from the moon since 1976 when a Russian spaceship brought back 170.1 grams of samples to the earth. This was no easy task, but China has made it.
30．How long did the whole Chang’e-5 mission last

If you feel sad or upset, remember not to watch a happy movie. A sad movie may be more suitable for you.
Some scientists at Ohio State University, the U.S., have found that sad movies can make people happier. They published their study in a magazine called Communication Research.
Scientists asked 361 college students to watch a sad movie called Atonement. The movie tells a story of two lovers who were separated. They died during World War II at the end of the movie. The 361 college students answered questions from the scientists before, after and three times during the movie to find out their different feelings, including sadness.
According to the result of the survey, scientists found out that people felt better after watching the sad movie. Scientists believed this was because the movie made them think about their own lives and pared to those of the unlucky lovers in the movie, their lives were full of hope.
“I want to live my life to the fullest, and this movie has made me think a lot,” one student wrote.
Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, the leader of the study, explained that bad moods (情绪) would make people more thoughtful. “Good moods are generally a sign that everything is fine. You don’t have to worry, and you don’t have to think about problems in your life,” she said. “But bad emotions, like sadness, make you feel terrible about your situation. Therefore, seeing a sad movie may make you feel bad, but that will cause you to think more about your own close relationships and value them more.”

In a perfect world, everything would be free. Until then, earning discounts（折扣）for doing things you would probably already be doing—like walking to work—is the next best thing.
According to The Daily Dot, a free iOS app called Miles lets you earn points simply by getting up and going somewhere. When you earn enough points, you’ll be able to get gift cards and discounts for businesses like Amazon, Starbucks and Whole Foods.
The app is created to encourage eco-friendly travel, so the reward points you get depend on your transport. One mile in a car translates to one point, but a ride in an Uber or Lyft will get you double the points. Public transportation helps you get three points per mile, biking is five points per mile, and walking is 10 points per mile. Flying, on the other hands, will only give you 0.1 point per mile.
The trips will be recorded by the app itself. Of course, users have to allow the app to track their location at all times, which might make some people unhappy. The app’s CEO said the information collected from the app wouldn’t be shared with others.
How far do you need to travel to get the rewards Well, if you want to get something like a $5 Starbucks or Amazon gift card, you are supposed to have 2,500 pint---that is 250 miles of walking.
The app isn’t available on Android but it should be coming soon.
45．The first two paragraphs are mainly to ________.
A．encourage people to travel B．encourage people to walk to work
C．introduce a new app D．introduce some businesses
46．Which of the following can show the points you get (from the low points to the high ones)
A．Riding a bike→walking→flying. B．Riding in a Lyft→flying→walking.
C．Flying→taking a bus→riding a bike. D．Taking a bus→riding a bike→flying.
47．How far do you need to walk if you want to get a $15 Amazon gift card
A．250 miles. B．500 miles. C．125 miles. D．750 miles.
48．In which part of a newspaper can we find the passage

Chinese A-level has overtaken German for the first time, as it becomes the UK’s third most popular language.
This year 3,334 students took Chinese A-level, compared to 3,058 taking German. While entries（参加者）for Chinese have increased by 8.6 percent since last year, German entries have declined by 16.5 percent.
Derek Richardson, the senior responsible officer at Pearson, said Chinese has changed the situation of the drop in popularity of modern languages.
“In languages we are seeing a drop in entries for the main modern languages: French, German and Spanish,” he said. “But what we are also seeing is an increase in entries across some of the other languages that people study. What this means is that Chinese is now more popular than German. So maybe young people are beginning to think about what languages will be useful to them in the future. ”
In the 1060s, 70s and even the 80s, Germany was the economic powerhouse （经济强国）of Europe. Pupils were strongly encouraged to study German because of the importance of the German economy. Now China has become well known in the last 25 years as the fastest growing economy in the world.
French remains the most popular modern language A-level followed by Spanish, but both have seen a drop in entries compared to last year by eight and four percent. Russian has also increased in popularity since last year by 3.4 percent, from 1,122 to 1,160.
49．How many students might have taken Chinese A-level last year
A．1,122. B．3,070. C．3,334. D．3,662.
50．The underlined word “decline” means “________” in Chinese.
A．错过 B．下降 C．离开 D．改变
51．Which of the following is the right order of students’ choosing language A-level
A．French → Spanish → German → Chinese→ Russian.
B．Chinese → German → French → Russian → Spanish.
C．Chinese → French → Spanish → German → Russian.
D．French → Spanish → Chinese → German → Russian.
52．What’s the main idea of the passage
A．How Chinese has won the hearts of students in the UK.
