If you travel in New Zealand, you may find some very interesting things. It is called “New Zealand Four Strange Things”.
Have you ever seen that cows are lined up New Zealand is so large. It is impossible for people to milk cows by hand. So the farmers trained the leading cow to take the cows to the milking station twice a day. The leading cow has a sensor（传感器）on its head. When it is time for milking, the sensor warns the leading cow to take the lead.
Horses are mainly raised for viewing（观赏）and racing, so the coat color is very important. Wearing sunscreen（防晒）clothes on horses can avoid the harm from the sun. The clothes on horses are filled with weights that are the same weight of the rider. When the weights are replaced by the rider during the race, “________” just like the sportsman running with sandbags.
Sheep in New Zealand used to have tails. Because they poop（排便）when they’re born, grass flies are interested in them. Grass flies lay their eggs in the tails of the baby sheep, causing illness and death. Then people tie their tails. As time passes, the sheep become tailless. This improves the survival rate（成活率）.
New Zealand’s alpacas（羊驼）were introduced from South America. They are quite different from two-humped camels（双峰驼）. An alpaca weighs about 55 kg to 65 kg. Its shape is like a sheep. Only one grown-up male（雄性）alpaca can be found in each group. It is the leading one. Alpacas are gentle, clever and human.
26. Why do the cows in New Zealand stand in line

Boris, a foreign student at Communication University of China, often shares his experiences of Chinese culture on his vlog (视频博客).
In one video, for example, Boris shared how he had learned the Chinese word dongxi. He translated each part separately into “east west”. And he introduced one theory (说法) about how dongxi came to mean “things”. He told people that all marketplaces in ancient Chinese cities were set up along a single road that ran from east to west. So when you would say qu mai dongxi. you’d be saying, “I’m going to buy things.”
Some other videos show his reading Chinese poems and performing kung fu in Chinese traditional costume, which are quite welcome among his 40, 000 followers.
“Many of my followers are learning Chinese,” Boris said. “But sadly, they know little about Chinese culture and the country.”
Like many foreigners, Boris once believed that all Chinese could perform kung fu, flying onto roofs and walking over walls. He thought the country was not that developed. But after he got a scholarship (奖学金) to study in China in 2019, his view changed. “China has entered a new period, but many people’s impressions of China are still stuck in the1970s,” Boris said. “That’s why I started to shoot vlogs to share Chinese culture in 2019.”
Until now, Boris has posted more than 40 Chinese culture vlogs online. But making these vlogs is not easy. Take reading the poem Second Farewell to Cambridge by Xu Zhimo as an example.
“I can understand and read every word in the poem,” Boris said. “But to touch readers, I need to use proper feelings while reading.” So he needed to look for much background information and make his feelings suit each part of the poem.
Though shooting these vlogs takes lots of time, the young man feels proud that his vlogs have inspired many people. Boris said that he wanted to continue bridging the differences between two cultures. “This goal may not be achieved easily, but I will spare no efforts to do my part.”
31. Through the vlogs, Boris mainly wants to __________.
A. teach foreigners Chinese B. introduce a Chinese university
C. sell Chinese products D. share his experiences in China
32. Boris learned the Chinese word dongxi by __________.
A. translating it as a whole B. knowing its cultural background
C. making up some sentences D. comparing it with similar words
33. What inspired Boris to shoot vlogs
A. His hunger for new technology. B. His wish to show the real China.
C. His interest in Chinese culture. D. His dream to be a big vlogger.
34. The poem Second Farewell to Cambridge is mentioned to __________.
A. meet the followers’ needs B. express Boris’s love for poems
C. show Boris’s efforts at vlog-making D. give an example of Chinese culture
35. The passage is probably written to __________.
A. say yes to Boris’s actions B. build bridges by making vlogs
C. call for more help D. achieve a common goal
D
