①Around 130 million books have been published (出版) in the human history. A reader will read at most 6, 000 books in his life. Most of them won't be so much fun or very unforgettable (难忘的). Books are like people. We meet many but fall in love with a small part of them.

②Perhaps we will only remember about thirty books. They will be different for each of us, but they affect (影响) us in similar ways.

③Books make us show our feelings better. When we see a bird flying in the sky, we have a beautiful feeling, but we may find it hard for us to use words to show our feelings and finally we just say, “That's so nice.” However, a good writer can describe it wonderfully. He shows us the angle (角度) of the wing, the slow movement of the largest branch (树枝) of a tree and the angle of the mouth in a smile.

④Great writers build bridges for us so that we can communicate with each other. They depict the similar experiences of us, and show us what we can share with each other and how we can help each other.

⑤They also help us to feel. By reading a book, we meet someone. Perhaps she is very beautiful, young, smart but dying, and we feel sad about her pain and the unfairness of the world.

A. B. C. D.

Recently, there were two pieces of sad news. An old gorilla (大猩猩) called Sentai was seriously ill because some visitors fed it food. Another poor animal, a deer, died with 3.5 kilograms of plastic bags in her stomach. The two poor animals remind people of the most basic rule in a zoo again: Do not feed animals.

Visitors often throw food like peanuts and bread to animals. They think it's kind for them to feed the animals. However, it's not good for the animals and may cause them to become sick.

“Imagine if someone often gives your children snacks and sweets. Would your children have healthy food as usual? This act can lead children to ignore (忽视) the healthy food. This is the same to animals,” Zhang, an animal expert in Beijing, told the Global Times.

Poor Sentai's condition makes many people feel angry, and some people advise zoos to do more than just stop visitors when they feed animals. Some even advise the zoos to make a “blacklist” to keep those visitors out. However, it is very difficult for a zoo to do this job. A worker in Shanghai Zoo says that workers in the Zoo will correct people's mistakes and try to improve public awareness (意识) to stop this act.

Some people said that after hearing the news, they felt sorry for feeding animals at the Zoo. Others said they were surprised to find that their “kind acts” could actually harm the animals.

We human beings can express our feelings when we feel ill or uncomfortable, but this is impossible for animals. So it's important for visitors to protect the animals by not feeding them. 62. How does the writer explain that feeding animals is bad for them? A. By asking some questions.

C. By comparing two groups of animals.

B. By showing a study about it. D. By showing an expert's opinion.

63. Which is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Visitors seldom break the rules and hardly ever feed animals in the zoo. B. Feeding animals at the zoo will make children ignore (忽略) the healthy food. C. The zoo will make a blacklist to keep visitors out of the zoo in a short time. D. Zoo workers will correct people's mistakes and improve public awareness (意识). . What's the best title for the passage? A. Volunteers in zoos. C. Keep animals in zoos.

B. Stop feeding animals. D. Raise money for animals.

My favorite thing from childhood is a model rocket. I have had it since I was ten years old. My father gave it to me on my birthday. It is the best birthday gift I have ever received and I still remember how excited I was when I got such a wonderful gift, because I have always wanted to be an astronaut since I was a small kid. The rocket is black and white, and there is a short sentence written on the bottom, which says, “Dear daughter, I hope you can make your dream come true!” The model rocket has brought me many good memories of my childhood.
