Zong Qinghou was the founder (创始人) of Hangzhou Wahaha Group. He was born in 1945 in wartime China. He grew up very poor in Hangzhou and often went hungry. His father was out of work, and his mother supported the family of five children as a factory worker.
“Because of the hardship, as a child I had many dreams and hoped to make big money for my parents in return,” Zong said in a history book. As the eldest child, Zong left school after junior high to support his family and spent over ten years doing different jobs, including hard physical work at a far-away farm.
In 1978, Zong returned to Hangzhou and spent the next ten years working as a salesman. “My only dream at that time was to have my own company and do what I wanted to do, and I had been looking for such a chance,” he said in the history book. The chance finally came in 1987. Zong borrowed 140,000 yuan to start his own company, selling ice pops (冰棒) and stationery (文具) to students at a nearby primary school.
The company, which would later become Wahaha, sold ice pops for a cent each. During his door-to-door sales, Zong learned that many children were picky (挑剔的) eaters and didn’t get all the necessary nutrition (营养). That was a big headache for parents.
Seeing a potential chance, Zong worked with a professor of nutrition to invent a vitamin drink for children, called Wahaha Oral Liquid.
The product became a huge success. The company achieved nearly 100 million yuan in sales in the third year after it went on the market. That year, Zong founded the Hangzhou WaHaha Group after buying a failing food factory.
34. How old was Zong when he started his own company
A. He was 35. B. He was 40. C. He was 42. D. He was 48.
35. Who did Zong invent Wahaha Oral Liquid for
A. Primary students. B. Children. C. Parents. D. Professors.
36. What can we know from the last paragraph
A. Zong wasn’t a good inventor.
B. Zong was a successful businessman.
C. Wahaha Oral Liquid wasn’t popular at first.
D. Zong’s company earned 100 million yuan in the first year.

Along their journey, they ran into villages and ate farmers’ corn. But no one blamed (怪) them. “It is OK. They are just hungry,” a farmer said.
Scientists guessed that the elephants were losing their habitat, so they might go north to look for a new home with more food. Or the group might lose its way because its leader had no experience!
To help the elephants get home and protect them, the government used 76 police cars and trucks, as well as nine drones (无人机). Police and scientists closely watched them. They watched the group’s movement and sent warnings to people on the road not to get close to the elephants. They also helped them with food and drink. Finally, the elephants ended their trip safely and happily after 17 months and a 500-kilometer journey.

One day in autumn, Squire Gordon went on a long journey. John went with him and I pulled the cart(马车). The weather was rainy and windy, but we travelled happily until we came to the old wooden bridge.
The man at the tollgate(收费处) told us the river was rising fast. “ There’s going to be a bad storm tonight,” he said.
We arrived in the town, but Squire Gordon’s business took a long time. We didn’t leave until late afternoon. The wind was blowing, making a terrible sound.
Suddenly, we heard a crack , and a huge tree fell across the road in front of us. I stopped still. I was shaking with fear, but did not turn round or run away.
“We must go back to the crossroads,” said John, “and drive six miles to the wooden bridge.”
When we got there, it was nearly dark. There was water on the middle of the bridge, but the Squire did not stop. As soon as my feet touched the bridge, I knew that something was wrong. I stopped dead. “Go on, Beauty,” said the Squire.
“There’s something wrong, sir,” said John. He got out and tried to lead me forward.
“Come on, Beauty,” he said. But I knew that the bridge was not safe.
Just then the man at the tollgate saw us. “Hey, there! Stop!” he cried.
“What is it ” shouted the Squire.
“The bridge is broken in the middle,” he answered. “If you go on to it, you are all going to drown in the river.”
“Thank God!” said the Squire. “Thank you, Beauty!” said John. We turned around and went along the road by the river. For a long time, no one said anything. Then John said, “Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous.”
When we returned home, the Squire told Mrs. Gordon, “We are all safe, thanks to Black Beauty!”
That night, I had good food to eat and a comfortable bed of straw. And I was glad, though I was very tired.

Dear Mark,
Thank you for your email. I’m very happy to tell you about the environment around me. I think the environment in my hometown is changing for the better. In the past few years, the local government has planted more trees to reduce dust and help keep the air clean. It has also organized different activities to encourage us to live a green life.

I believe the environment will be greatly improved.
