But for Andrew, a herder at a farm in Zimbabwe, it's not a problem. Once he spots Toro, he knows the rest of the herd is nearby. That’s because Toro isn’t an ordinary member of the herd. He's a giraffe. In hot weather, cattle rest in the shade under his belly. And because of his height, Toro can spot lions long before they come close to the herd.‎ Toro's unusual situation came about after his mother was killed by lions. Toro survived the attack, but he was left with no one to protect him or give him milk. About two days later, some herders spotted and rescued him. With the permission of the Department of Wildlife, the herders moved Toro to Andrew's farm. Since giraffes and cattle are both plant-eating animals that live in groups, their behaviors are much the same. Toro was accepted into the herd and wandered among the cattle as they ate grass.‎ Toro doesn't always behave like the other members of his new herd. Like many kinds of animals, cattle compete for dominance (支配). Standing more than 13 feet tall, Toro is more than three times taller than the biggest bull, But Toro never tries to be ''the boss. ''He is very used to their company, '' Andrew said. When the herd enters the kraal (家畜栏), the cows and bulls push each other. ''But thanks to his height, Toro does not need to join the mess, '' said Andrew.‎ When asked if Toro would ever be returned to the wild, Munetsi, an officer of the Department of Wildlife said no. ''In the wild, he would find it difficult to be accepted into another herd or defend himself from predators (猎食者),'' he added. ''He seems very much at home and is respected by the cattle.''‎ ‎24．What was Toro like when the herders found him?‎ A．He was left alone. B．He was seriously ill.‎ C．He was lost in the bush. D．He was fighting with lions.‎ ‎25．What do we know about Toro in the cattle herd?‎ A．He has fought to be the leader.‎ B．He gets along well with the herd.‎ C．He is pushed around by the bulls.‎ D．He stays away from the herd most of the time ‎26．What will happen to Toro according to Munetsi?‎ A．He will be sent back to the wild.‎ B．He will be put into another herd of giraffes.‎ C．He will continue to live together with Andrew.‎ D．He will be trained to fight with the big animals.‎ ‎27．What may be the best title for the text?‎ A．Giraffes under threat in the wild B．A surprising new family for a giraffe C．A new way of herding appearing in ‎Africa D．Moments showing friendship between animals C ‎ When Faith Wanjiku graduated from the Technical University of Kenya last year, she immediately enrolled (注册) at the Confucius Institute in Kenyatta University. She wanted to learn Chinese, as she believed that it would help her land a good job.‎ She has just completed the hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK) 3 exam. HSK is a test of Chinese language level for non-native speakers, organized by the Confucius Institute Headquarters.‎ However, this level isn’t enough for Wanjiku, who plans to pass HSK 6. She wanted to increase her level of Chinese and improve her spoken Chinese. And Wanjiku isn’t alone. The number of people taking the HSK reached 6.8 million in 2018 and went up 4.6 percent from a year earlier, the Ministry of Education said on May 31.‎ Chinese is becoming an increasingly popular choice of language to study around the world. Currently, middle school students in Russia can take Chinese as an elective language test in the country’s national college entrance exam, Sputnik News reported.‎ In May, Zambia became the fourth country in Africa-after Kenya, Uganda and South Africa—to introduce Chinese language to its schools.‎ And many English-speaking countries have shown an interest in allowing their students to learn Chinese. The US government announced the launch of “1 Million Strong” in 2015, a plan that aims to bring the total number of learners of Chinese to l million by 2020.‎ Behind the growing popularity of Chinese language learning is the international community’s positive attitude toward Chinas future development, as well as the people’s longing to learn about Chinese civilization and culture.‎ Indeed, it’s as the former president of South Africa Nelson Mandela put it, “if you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.”‎ ‎28．What did Wanjiku do after graduating from university?‎ A．She went abroad. B．She learned Chinese.‎ C．She found a job. D．She travelled to China.‎ ‎29．HSK is a test for ______.‎ A．non-native speakers B．native speakers C．middle school students D．college students ‎30．What does the underlined sentence mean?‎ A．Wangjiku has lots of friends.‎ B．Lots of people want to pass HSK6 exam.‎ C．Wangjiku has passed HSK3 exam.‎ D．Many people want to live in China.‎ ‎31．What may be the best title for the text?‎ A．Chinese Language Study Takes Off B．Chinese Play an Important Role in Economy C．People Share the Experience of Learning Chinese D．Different Opinions about the Function of Chinese D ‎ When John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood，he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.‎ These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence（能力）and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society, ” said George Vaillant, the psychologist（心理学家）who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”‎ Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.‎ The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.‎ Working—at any age—is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence—the underpinnings（基础）of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn't everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one's work.”‎ ‎32．What do we know about John？‎ A．He received little love from his family.‎ B．He had few childhood playmates.‎ C．He enjoyed his career and marriage.‎ D．He was envied by others in his childhood.‎ ‎33．Vaillant’s words in Paragraph 2 serve as _______.‎ A．a description of personal values and social values B．an analysis of how work was related to competence C．an example for parents' expectations of their children D．an explanation why some boys grew into happy men ‎34．Vaillant's team got their findings by _______.‎ A．recording the boys' effort in school B．comparing different sets of scores C．evaluating the men's mental health D．measuring the men's problem solving ability ‎35．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?‎ A．Competent adults know more about love than work.‎ B．Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.‎ C．Love brings more joy to people than work does.‎ D．Independence is the key to one's success.‎ E After a long day at work, coming home is a breath of fresh air. 36__ However, is it as healthy as it can be? Below are a number of things we can do to create a healthy home environment that will help to ease the workday stress and promote our physical and mental health.‎ Cleaning the house regularly is the first thing we should do. It may seem like a tiring thing to clean but there is a reason for doing so. We can remove dust by cleaning the house. Leaving layers of dust everywhere means that there is a build-up of dust. __37__ Into our lungs.‎ Making sure the rooms are full of sunlight is also important.
