Standing on the top of a sand dune (沙丘), Mohammed Abdulkarem from Yemen looked down at a man-made forest. He was on a trip with about 30 international students from Ningxia Medical University to visit Baijitan in Ningxia, China. Abdulkarem and his schoolmates were told that the 60-kilometer-long and 30-kilometer-wide forest can help stop the sand from the Mu Us Desert.
However, in the 1950s, the green space was once a desert. So how did all this happen Over the past 70 years, local people and volunteers have planted a large number of trees to stop the Mu Us Desert from becoming larger. “It’s hard to believe,” Abdulkarem said. “My country also needs to protect people from the dangers of deserts, and I see a great example here.”
Then the students learned how to make a straw checkerboard (草方格), a local method of stopping sand from moving. “It’s really difficult,” Abdulkarem said. “Controlling desertification (沙漠化) takes a lot of time and energy. I’m deeply encouraged by the spirit.”
The students also visited the Museum of Baijitan, which records the history of how local people fight desertification. “I have learned a lot from this trip. I see the great work China has done to protect our planet, and other countries should learn from China,” said Davis Munashe from Zimbabwe.

Every spring, thousands of fish swim through Utrecht, a city in the Netherlands, to find a place to lay their eggs. In this process, they help eat insects and keep the waterways clean. However, there is one problem. They have to wait at the Weerdsluis lock (水闸), which is usually closed at this time of year.
After knowing that, local ecologist (生态学家) Mark van Heukelum decided to help the fish. He learned that the lock keeper didn’t know when there were fish waiting at the lock. Mark set up an underwater camera at the lock and connected it to a computer and an online doorbell. When someone sees fish waiting to pass, they press the doorbell and the lock keeper will open the lock to let the fish through.
But Mark couldn’t keep watching the doorbell day and night. He reached out to the public to see how many people would like to lend a hand. He was surprised. In its first spring in 2021, the Fish Doorbell was rung more than 100,000 times by people all around the world.
This spring, people’s interest didn’t seem to wane. On the website, the number of visitors was always over 100 and could go as high as 500, depending on the time of day. Politely holding a door open for the friends of humans in the water is a feel-good act of kindness.
Some people are thinking of ways to automate (使自动化) the doorbell. But Mark thinks differently. “I hope when spring comes, people will be excited to ring the doorbell again.”
( )36. What challenge are the fish in Utrecht facing
A. The water is too dirty.
B. A lock gets in their way.
C. They can’t find enough food.
D. They have no place to lay eggs.

A. where the camera is
B. how the Fish Doorbell works
C. when Mark talked to the lock keeper
D. who came up with the Fish Doorbell idea
( )38. The underlined word “wane” in Paragraph 4 means “______ ”.
A. start B. continue C. get weaker D. get deeper
( )39. Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4 mainly talk about ______.
A. the future of the Fish Doorbell
B. the popularity of the Fish Doorbell
C. other friends of humans in the water
D. different opinions on the act of kindness
( )40. What is the best title for the passage
A. Ring the doorbell to help fish in Utrecht
B. Join an online project to watch fish in spring

D. Robot changes the life of fish in the Netherlands
