11、urance of a toad that got trapped in a cargo shipment from China to Cape Town, after jumping into a porcelain(瓷器) candlestick（烛台） that was made there. South African officials reportedly planned to put down the creature, fearing it would cause harm as an invasive species if it were let go in the wild

12、.But the toad got a last-minute pardon. Mango Airlines, a South African airline, transported the toad on Friday to Johannesburg for delivery to an animal shelter, after officials decided to find a way to let the toad live. The two-hour fight was a breeze compared to the trip from China, a long way o

13、f many weeks and thousands of kilometers across the Indian Ocean.Airline spokesman Hein Kaiser said the toad got “first-class treatment”, sitting in a transparent plastic container with escort Brett Glasby, an animal welfare inspector. There was even a ceremony, in which the toads boarding pass was

14、handed to Glasby.“He was the star of the show on the flight,” Kaiser said of the amphibious(两栖的) passenger. “I think every passenger stopped to have a look.”On landing in Johannesburg, the toad was brought out of its container for a celebrity-style photo shoot.

27、es.D. Notice everything happening around.CSome six years ago, I was studying for the college entrance examination. Everyone was very exhausted. Living conditions in the countryside were not very good. One morning as usual, my classmates and I got up at 5 :30 to begin studying. The fog was thickening

28、. It was still a little cold. We were absorbed in our studies. Just then, a familiar figure appeared outside the window and waved his hand to me. It was my father. My heart pounded with excitement. Many classmates turned around and looked at me with envy. They guessed that he had brought something d

29、elicious for me to eat. How excited I was! I ran out of the classroom. My dad was all wet. Obviously, his worn jacket didnt keep him dry.

30、 tenderly wiped my tears away. Son, cheer up! Just try your best. he said. Then he handed me a bag wrapped in several layers of cloth. Hurry, it is still warm, he said.

31、eathered face. Son, I have to catch the six oclock bus home. Take care of yourself. We will come to you if we have time. Take every chance and study hard. Keep it in mind. Now, I must be off. He said. I wanted him to take my coat but he refused firmly. Then he turned around and walked down the road.

32、 The back of his jacket danced in the wind. Very quickly, he disappeared into the fog.At last, I realized my dream. I studied for four years at a famous university in the south. Now, I have a job in a big company. My fathers love will encourage me to overcome any difficulties I meet in the future.28

36、her D. the poor living conditions in the countrysideDBefore I studied psychology, I used to think that people would laugh when funny things occurred.

37、hen someone laughs at a joke, there will usually be more than one reason that makes him laughand the more reasons there are, the more powerful the joke will be.I was attending a stand-up comedy show in Egypt, and when the man started to make fun of pedestrians crossing streets, everyone laughed thei

38、r hearts out. The main reason those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt angry towards pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly. The joke wasnt only funny, it also made the audience feel that they were right about being angry at those pedestrians. That is, people were laughing

39、both because of the funny joke and because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got.The better a joke makes a person feel, and the more it includes other psychological factors, the more the person will like it. For example, if you envy one of your friends, and s

40、omeone tells a joke that is funny and, at the same time, makes your friend seem stupid, then you will probably laugh at it louder than if you werent jealous of him.In short, we dont laugh only when we hear something funny; we also laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that results from the

41、 other psychological factors involved in the joke. I strongly discourage making fun of anyone or belittling someone to make someone else laugh. All I want to explain is that if your joke supports a persons emotions, he will certainly like it a lot.32. What did the author find out after studying psyc

Is there a relation between money and happiness? 36 Humans are very sensitive to change. When we get a rise, we re

45、ally enjoy it. But some studies have shown that in North America, additional income beyond 75,000 dollars a year stops impacting day-to-day happiness. 37 They often end up spending all the money, going into debt, and experience ruined social relationships.So surely money cant really buy happiness. W

46、ell, recent studies suggest that the problem may actually be in the way that we spend money. 38 Studies show that people who spend their money on others feel happier.

Dont read in the bed or in a moving car.It is high time that we took quick actions to protect our vision!Thank you!
