There was once a boy called Mario who loved to have lots of friends at school. However, he wasn't sure whether or not his classmates were his true friends, so he asked his grandpa. The old man answered, “I have just exactly what you need; it's in the attic (阁楼). Wait here for a minute.”
Grandpa left, soon returning as though carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there. “Take it. It's a very special chair. Because it's invisible (无形的) it's rather difficult to sit on, but if you take it to school and you manage to sit on it, you'll be able to tell who your true friends are.”
Mario took the strange invisible chair and went to school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair. “Nobody move. You're about to see something amazing,” Mario said.
Then Mario tried sitting on the chair. He missed and fell straight onto his backside. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. Mario wouldn't be beaten. He kept trying to sit on the magic chair, and kept falling to the ground...until, suddenly, he tried again and didn't fall. This time he sat, hovering (悬停) in mid-air.
Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas, and Diana —three of his best friends —holding him up, so he wouldn't fall. At the same time, many others he had thought of as friends were doing nothing but make fun of him, enjoying each and every fall.
Leaving with his three friends, Mario explained to them how his grandpa had so cleverly thought of such a good idea. Now he knows that those who take joy in our misfortunes (不幸) when we are in difficulty are not our true friends.
34. What did Mario's grandpa take from the attic
A. An invisible chair. B. An old chair. C. Area l chair. D. Nothing.
35. Why did Mario's grandpa give him the invisible chair
A. To see whether Mario could sit on it. B. To test who were Mario's true friends.
C. To let Mario have fun with his classmates. D. To test whether Mario was popular at school.

A. He saw the invisible chair suddenly. B. He managed to sit on the chair finally.
C. His friends held him up with their hands. D. His classmates gave him a chair to sit on.

A. Never laugh at our friends. B. True friends can help us do magic.
C. True friends are those who care for us. D. Having too many good friends isn't a good thing.

At the foot of the Tianmu Mountain in Zhejiang, a homestay (民宿) is attracting travelers from far and wide, which has won architectural me dal at the 2021 German if Design Awards.
The owners of the homestay are a couple in their late 30s who decided to return to their hometown three years ago. Li Xiumei used to be in charge of a division at a company in Hangzhou, and her husband was a sales director. It was an ordinary situation where Li's husband was on business trips a lot and Li still worked on weekends. City life sometimes is not easy.
In 2018, they quit jobs and went back to Dongtianmu village, which lies in a forest of bamboo. The first time they drove into the village was one late afternoon. The cooking smoke was rising from the foot of the mountain, which gave them a very different feeling from the city.
The homestay was built beside her husband's old countryside house. The old house is preserved(保留), while a brand-new building was built on its side and the whole site is made up of four courtyards. It has been updated to have a hall, a tea room, a kitchen, a dining room. Japanese cherry trees are planted in the east courtyard. A swimming pool is placed in the west courtyard, with a bar located on one side.
Li and her husband love gardening and music, and their new home gives them enough space to continue their interests and relax in the heart of nature. Li wants to share the quiet country life, so she makes her new home a homestay. In 2019, the homestay became an online hit after guests shared their experiences on social media. “The longer I stay here, the more I feel it was the right choice to come back, and this is more meaningful than making money,” Li says.

There have been fires in every Australian state, but New South Wales, NSW, has been hardest hit. Fires have torn through bushland (未开垦的丛林地带), wooded areas, and national parks. Some start and are controlled in a few days, but the biggest fires have been burning for months.
Each year there is a fire season during the Australian summer, with hot, dry weather making it easy for fires to start and spread. Natural causes are responsible for fires most of the time, like lightning hits in drought-affected forests. Dry lightning was to blame for starting a number of fires in late December, which then traveled more than 20 kilometers in just five hours. Humans can also be responsible. Police have charged (指控) at least 24 people with starting bushfires on purpose, and have taken action against 183 people for setting fire since November.
The fire season in Australia is always dangerous —the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires killed 173 people in Victoria, making it the deadliest bushfire disaster on record. But conditions have been unusually bad this year, making fires burn more strongly and making firefighting conditions particularly difficult. Australia is experiencing one of its worst droughts over the years. Meanwhile, a heatwave in December broke the record for the highest nationwide average(平均的) temperature, with some places under temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius. Strong winds have also made the fires and smoke spread more rapidly, and have led to deaths.
About half a billion animals have been affected by the fires across NSW, with millions possibly dead — and that's lower than what is probably the real number. That number of total animals influenced could be as high as one billion nationwide. Almost a third of koalas in NSW may have been killed in the fires, and a third of the places where they live have been destroyed.
Some animals, like koalas, aren't in any immediate danger of extinction (灭绝) because they are spread out across the country. But others that live in more suitable environments with lower populations, including certain types of frogs and birds, could be destroyed entirely if their home is hit by the fires.
42. What do we know about fires in Australia
A. They may last a long time. B. They often happen in winter.
C. They only happen in NSW. D. They are easily controlled in a few hours.
43. What does the underlined word “heatwave” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Big fire. B. Strong wind.
C. Serious drought. D. A period of hot weather.
44. Why aren't koalas in danger of extinction at once
A. They can run fast. B. They live far and wide.
C. Their home is well protected. D. They have a lower population.
45. What does the author intend to tell in the passage
A. Deadly bushfires affect the life of humans and animals.
B. Many causes have contributed to the bushfires in Australia.
C. Some species are endangered because of the frequent fires.
D. More firm measures should be taken to control the fires.
