Dear Jack,
How are you I'm really happy to hear that you're talking about something you l never forget.Id like to tell you about my own special thing.
The object that stands out in my memory is a sports medal.I have owned it for one year.This
medal is especially valuable to me,as it's a symbol of my hard work and success at the school sports day last year.After months of hard training, I finally had the chance to compete in the 800-meter race and was proud to finish second.Taking part in this event was a big challenge for me,for I was not good at running. This medal reminds me that hard work and perseverance can lead to success,no matter how difficult the task may seem.It gives me the strength and motivation to face any difficulties that come my way.
I'm looking forward to hearing your story soon!
Yours,

Hiking may sometimes seem tiring,but visitors walking in the Bamboo Sea will find their worries going away.As winter is the low season for tourism,there are not many visitors,and people can clearly hear the birds singing and the rivers running.
A must-see place is the Bamboo Sea Museum. It is a great place to learn about bamboo culture and its importance in Chinese history. Not far from the museum,visitors can see several hotels.One of them is a quiet two-story hotel named Forgetting Worries.Its collection of calligraphy (书法)works sets it apart from other hotels.The paintings on the wall of its dining room have words that encourage people to forget their pressure and enjoy life.Eating delicious food made from bamboo in such a hotel is really amazing.
The Bamboo Sea is a must-visit for anyone traveling to Sichuan..Its fantastic scenery(风景)， rich cultural heritage (造产)，and delicious dishes make it a truly unforgettable place.

Loggerhead sea turtles (红海龟) travel very far in the sea,sometimes thousands of miles.Even though they go far,they can come back to the same places again,like places where they like to cat.Scientists have already known that turtles can feel the earth's magnetic fields(磁场).These magnetic fields arc like invisible lines that help turtles know which way to go,like using a compass. Now,a new study shows that loggerheads can also remember places by learning the special magnetic signals (信号) in those places.It's like making a map in their minds.
Kayla Goforth,a researcher at Texas A&M University,worked with a team of researchers. They put baby turtles into buckets (桶). Each bucket had a magnetic field.Each turtle spent time in two buckets.In one of the buckets,the turtle got food.In the other bucket,it was not fed.After some time,the turtles learned that one magnetic field meant food.When they felt that same field again,they got excited and showed their excitement by"dancing".This showed the scientists that the turtles could remember the magnetic signal and connect (把…联系起来) it to food.
We still don't know how turtles can feel magnetic fields. Goforth said,"We know eyes arc for seeing and that cars arc for hearing.For the sense of smell,you have a nose.But we don't yet know what part of the body feels magnetic fields." Some other animals,like monarch butterflies, also use magnetic signals to travel. Goforth hopes to learn about this talent in different animals.Understanding it more can help people avoid(进免) messing up the signals that are important in helping animals to find their way.
( )27.What docs the underlined word "invisible" mean in English
A.Very clear. B.Very strong.
C.Easy to touch. D.Impossible to see.
( )28.What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the study
A.Why and where the researchers did it.
B.Who did it and its importance to people.
C.Why it was hard to do and its re- searchers.
D.How the researchers carried it out and its result.
( )29.Which of the following is the next step for Goforth
A.To study how different animals live in the wild.
B.To find out how turtles and other animals feel magnetic fields.
C.To test whether turtles can travel far without magnetic fields.
D.To invent a GPS tracker (追踪器) to help animals find their way.
( )30.What's the best title for the text
A.How loggerhead sea turtles travel in the ocean.
B.Scientists have known how turtles' eyes and cars work.
C.Loggerhead sea turtles use magnetic memory to travel.
D.Why the earth's magnetic fields are important for sea animals.

People often travel with their friends and families. (31)__________Now,it's common for people to bring their pets when they travel.
(32)__________It helps them see more of the outside world.Some owners also say that taking pets on trips solves the problem of leaving them at home when they travel.In May, Bonnic Yao,a 27-year-old woman from Guangzhou, Guangdong,travelled across western China for a month with her dog,Good Luck."I think taking pets on trips is a great idea,"Bonnie said."Pets come from nature.Since they live in the city for a long time and don't get to use their natural skills,they might feel sad.(33)__________
To meet the needs of pet owners,many travel companies now provide special travel plans for pets.These companies believe that most owners keep their pets indoors most of the time.(34)__________ These plans are becoming more and more popular.Zhang Shaopeng started a pet travel company in Beijing several years ago.He thinks pets can visit places like grassland and mountains with their owners.“Now there are even trips for dogs to visit aquariums (水族馆) and amusement parks," Zhang says.
35.What do you think of travelling with pets Why (no more than 25 words)
