My brother and I were driving home together and started talking
．
Because of this, my brother took a
wrong turn (
转弯
)
．
Unluckily, the wrong turn took us toward a bridge, and we had no way of turning back
．
My brother had
to pay $4 to cross the bridge
．
He was clearly frustrated by the mistake
．
As we drove forward, my brother noticed a car pulled over to the side of the road
．
A young man was
standing nearby and trying to phone someone
．
I was busy trying to find out which way we went next, but my
brother pulled over and asked the man if he needed any help

And he did

He had a flat tire (

My brother helped him change the flat
．
He said that this had been a bad week for him

Earlier he had a
car accident, and now this flat on his way home from work
．
But he called us “a breath of fresh air” and kept
thanking us
．
After we changing the flat, he thanked us again and pulled out $20 and tried to give it to
us
．
“No,” my brother said

“We shouldn’t get on that bridge
．
We took a wrong turn
．
But now we know why
we did
．
It was to help you

Thank you for turning our mistake into a chance to help you.”
What I loved most was watching my brother during this process

the mistake into positive (

Most people love animals
．
Many children’s books use animals as the main characters
．
Many people look
after animals as pets
．
The love for animals may be why both children and adults (
成年人
) enjoy going to zoos
．
In the past, zoos were usually started by rich people
．
The first zoo was started by a queen in Egypt in
1500 BC
．
Raising animals was a way for people to show they were wealthy and powerful
．
Sadly the animals
in the early zoos were not treated well
．
They didn’t receive enough attention or care
．
Today, zoos still bring people pleasure, but they try to protect animals and teach people as well
．
Zoos
must follow rules
．
People must provide animals with a clean place to live, food and water, and health care
．
In
this way, the rules help protect the animals
．
Some people think the rules are not enough
．
They want to do more to protect the animals they love
．
For
example, people disapprovedof the use of some large animals in shows
．
They thought the zoos didn’t have
enough space for the animals to show
．
They also thought the animals were not treated properly
．
With so many
people against the shows, the zoos decided to make a change
．
People see animals in zoos
．
At the same time, they try to learn about and protect them
．
Both people and
animals can get a lot from each other.
33
．
How does the writer feel about the animals in the early zoos?
A
．
He doesn’t care about them.
C
．
He is proud of them.
B
．
He feels sad for them.
D
．
He is afraid of them.
D
．
Careful
34
．
According to the passage, zoos today must ________.
A
．
train people for shows
C
．
provide health care for tourists
B
．
help look after family pets
D
．
follow the rules to protect animals

①
Chinese calligraphy (
书法
) was once considered an important part of the school curriculum (
课
However, for many reasons, some people think it’s less important to teach this art form at school now
．
In
程
)
．
this article, I will look at both the pros and cons (
赞成与反对
) of learning Chinese calligraphy at school
．
②
One reason why Chinese calligraphy should be learned at school is that it is an important form of
culture expression
．
Clearly, it is not just about practicing handwriting
．
It is also about connecting with a
traditional Chinese art form
．
When students learn this art in class, they will become more interested in the
works of famous Chinese artists
．
③
Another reason is that it may help students to develop patience
．
At the times of high technology,
students are getting less patient for traditional classroom learning
．
By introducing Chinese calligraphy into the
classroom
．
students’ patience can be improved because they have to practice focusing on each brush
movement
．
④
From the above, it can be seen that there are clear advantages
．
However, others think there are some
disadvantages
．
The first one is that it has little to do with students’ life
．
Living in a modern age, pens and
paper will lose their importance
．
So, wouldn’t it be a backward (
倒退
) step if students were asked to spend
their valuable time at school learning Chinese calligraphy?
⑤
The second argument against learning Chinese calligraphy at school is that it takes a long time to
master
．
The time at school is better spent on more important subjects
．
After all, learning Chinese calligraphy
can always be done as an after-school activity if students are really interested in it
．
⑥
In my opinion, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages
．
This special art form is one of China’s
national treasures
．
It also helps to enrich students’ life and improve their sense of beauty
．
So without doubt, it
is worth being included in the school curriculum.
37
．
Which of the following is the structure of the passage?
A
．
B
．
C
．
D
．
38
．
What can we learn from the passage?
A
．
High technology can help students become more patient.
B
．
Students should spend more time on after-school activities.
C
．
Learning Chinese calligraphy gets more popular in the modern age.
D
．
Students may like art works better after learning Chinese calligraphy.
39
．
What does the writer probably think of learning Chinese calligraphy?
A
．
Important and necessary.
C
．
Popular and interesting.
40
．
What’s the best title for the passage?
A
．
How do students learn Chinese calligraphy?
B
．
Should students learn Chinese calligraphy at school?
C
．
What can students learn from Chinese calligraphy?
D
．
Why do we learn Chinese calligraphy?

Yu Boya was a great musician
．
He was good at playing the qin and learning from nature to create
beautiful music
．
Once, he took a boat trip to the state of Chu
．
Along the way, the river water rushed toward the east,
leaving the high mountains behind
．
Yu took out his qin and began to play
．
After a while, he noticed a
woodsman (
樵夫
) standing on the riverbank and enjoying his music quietly
．
Yu invited the man to the boat
．
The woodsman introduced himself, “My name is Zhong Ziqi.” After
that, Yu would play the qin for Zhong
．
He played music that described the high mountains
．
Zhong said: “How
wonderful it is! I seem to see the great Taishan Mountain.” He played music that described the flowing
water
．
Zhong said: “How wonderful it is
．
I seem to see the rushing river.”
Yu was surprised by Zhong’s words
．
“You really understand my music.”
So the musician and the woodsman became good friends
．
They decided to meet each other again at the
same place the following year
．
When that time came, Yu arrived on time, but did not see Zhong
．
He visited
Zhong’s village and hear that his friend had died of an illness
．
Yu felt very sad
．
He took out his qin and once again played the music of the “high mountains and
flowing water”
．
“My best friend has passed away,” he said
．
“No one in the world understands my music anymore.”
