Generally, people take vacations to relax themselves. However, one loving grandpa didn’t. When Grandpa David arrived at his Mexican destination, he made a shocking discovery in his suitcase, and went to “work” throughout his vacation.

And I’ll put the videos together as a gift to my granddaughter.”
This thoughtful grandpa started making videos of the Peppa Pig toys swimming, sunbathing, and taking a trip to see the whales. He added, “I enjoy being silly and playful.” Then David posted them online. His videos went viral on social media. People fell in love with David’s sweet and loving gesture and wanted to know more about this grandpa’s film-making adventures.
The reaction from David’s granddaughter,4-year-old Lisette, was precious and priceless. The child couldn’t contain her excitement when watching those videos. She was extremely delighted to see her toys enjoying this vacation with her grandpa.
At the end of the video, David explained why he chose to spend his vacation busy creating the video for his beautiful granddaughter, “I saw Lisette’s toys in my suitcase, and I knew she loved those toys. Yet she gave them to me. I wanted to do something for her in return. You know, one of the joys of being a grandparent is to see the smile on those cute little faces.”

As a geothermal（地热） scientist, I know that boiling rivers exist-but they are always near volcanoes. You need a lot of heat to make that much water boil. We were working in the volcanic gap, a 950-mile-long area that covers most of Peru, where there haven’t been volcanic eruptions for the past two million years.
Yet, we’d found the Shanaya, a name originated from “heating thing”. My measurements averaged 190°F-195°F. The locals think it’s so hot because of the Yacumama, or “water mother”—a spirit who gives birth to waters—represented by a snake-head-shaped rock at the origin of the heated water.
I had to cut my way through the bush at the side of the river to take temperature readings. All the while, right next to me was this very hot, fast-flowing body of water. A friend at the nearest village had told me, “Use your feet like eyes.” You can’t see heat, but you can feel it when you step near it. I wore sandals（凉鞋）.
I was at a part of the river measuring 210F, standing on a rock the size of a sheet or paper, when the rain fell. It was like a curtain rising. The temperature difference between the rain and the river caused a whiteout（临时性失明）.1 couldn’t see, but I whistled to let my partner know I was OK.
At 130°F, flesh cooks, and the water around me was nearing twice that. My eyes would have cooked in less than a minute, and I couldn’t have seen how to get out. I saw rats fall in, their eyes turning milky white. I kept whistling.
After 15 minutes the rain stopped and the steam cleared. A heavy rain in most situations would have been nothing important. Here, for a matter of minutes, it thinned the line between researching and being boiled alive.
28．What do the locals think causes the water so hot
A．The high temperature. B．An imaginary creature.
C．The volcanic eruptions. D．The geological conditions.
29．Why did the author cut his way through the bus h beside the river
A．To get some related data. B．To look into wildlife around the river.
C．To know about the quality of the water. D．To appreciate the beautiful scenery there.
30．For what reason did the author whistle when it rained
A．He was in trouble. B．He could stand on a rock.
C．Nothing was wrong with him. D．He liked the natural phenomenon.
31．What is the best title for the article
A．A Hard Rain B．Milky White Eyes
C．Boiling River D．Water near Volcanoes
D
Sitting in the garden for my friend’s birthday, I felt a buzz（振动） in my pocket. My heart raced when I saw the email sender’s name. The email started off: “Dear Mr Green, thank you for your interest” and “the review process took longer than expected.” It ended with “We are sorry to inform you...” and my vision blurred（模糊）. I had put so much time and emotional energy into applying for the programme, and I thought the rejection meant the end of the road for my science career.
So I was shocked when, not long after the email, Professor Mary Devon invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally shocked—and overjoyed—when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab. I got it and decided I was going to give it my all.
I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely. That project, which I could complete from my so fa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest to pursue.
When I applied to graduate school, I found three programmes promising to allow me to follow my desired research direction. This time I had the perspective（视角） to keep it from sending me into panic due to my being rejected. It helped that in the end I was accepted into one of the other programmes I was also excited about.
Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them.
32．What do we know from Paragraph 1
A．I was actually declined. B．I was spending my birthday.
C．I felt peaceful receiving the email. D．I had devoted little to my dream job.
33．What did the author decide to do after talking with Professor Mary Devon
A．Criticize the review process. B．Stay longer in the Sahara Desert.
C．Apply to the original project again. D．Put his heart and soul into the lab work.
34．How did the author feel about the project with the robotics professor
A．Demanding. B．Inspiring. C．Misleading. D．Amusing.
35．What can we learn from this passage
A．An invitation is a reward. B．An innovation is a resolution.
C．A rejection can be a redirection. D．A refusal can be a discouragement.

Most teens can’t wait to become adults, free to make their own decisions. But with freedom comes responsibility, and this applies especially to your finances. The earlier you begin developing good financial habits, the more secure your future will be. 36
