The Woolly Monkey Mysteries: The Quest to Save a Rain Forest Species By Sandra Markle. Ages 8 to 10.
Woolly Monkeys spend most of their time high up in 150-foot-tall trees. That makes them difficult animals to count and to study. But cameras have provided valuable information and taken, as this book shows, amazing pictures. Experts now believe that Peru’s lowland monkeys and the waste they produce are necessary to the survival of the rain forest.
Camp Panda: Helping Cubs Return to the Wild By Catherine Thimmesh. Ages 10 to 12.
The giant panda is much-beloved in China, but in the past 40 years, at least half of its places has been destroyed. Camp Panda tells about efforts to reintroduce the giant pandas into the wild so that they might have a future. As part of the efforts, people wear panda costumes (服装) that smell like pandas while weighing and measuring the young pandas. They aren’t supposed to get used to seeing and being around people, because people could bring a threat to them in the wild. Beyond Words: What Elephants and Whales Think and Feel By Carl Safina. Ages 10 and older.
Carl Safina studied elephants in an African national park and killer whales off the coast of Washington state. He learned about their strong family bonds, the surprising ways they communicate and how they play and hang out with one another. This book makes a strong case for protecting the ability of these animals to live freely.
Back from the Brink: Saving Animals from Extinction By Nancy F Castaldo. Ages 10 and older.
This book focuses on seven groups of animals—including whooping cranes, California condors and American alligators—that were brought back to healthy numbers by a lot of efforts. As she celebrates these successes, Nancy F. Castaldo also makes clear that dangers, such as the effects of climate change, still cloud the future of these creatures.

Alice is not afraid to be the center of attention—she enjoys performing traditional Chinese dances on stage. But the 16-year-old high school student in Texas, US, felt alienated (被疏远的) earlier this year when she walked into her first computer science lecture. There were only 11 girls out of 100 students. It was familiar feeling for Alice. When she was in ninth grade, she was one of only seven girls out of 40 competitors who were competing at a state science fair.
After that, Alice decided to do her part to close the gender gap (性别差异) in STEM, which stands for science, technology, engineering and math. She formed a club called Girls in STEM. It focuses on teaching and encouraging girls who are interested in STEM. And only girls can join it.
Alice wants girls to know that STEM can be fun. The club isn't just about sitting in a lab and doing homework. There are interesting activities that can spark girls' interest in STEM. Girls can also share learning experiences with each other. The club started with seven girls at her school. Over the years, the club has spread to other schools. It now has 45 members.
According to recent surveys, women work in fewer than 30 percent of STEM jobs in the United States. Alice's goal is to bring Girls in STEM to 10 schools in total and turn it into a non-profit in the coming years, hoping it will help more young women follow their dreams in this field.
5. Why did Alice feel uncomfortable in her computer science lecture? A. She had no friends there. B. Computer science was hard. C. She was the only foreigner.
D. There were not many girls.
6. What is the aim of the club Girls in STEM? A. To help students with their studies. B. To get more girls involved in STEM.
D. To educate children
C. To encourage boys to help girls in science. D. To bridge the gap between students and teachers. 7. What can be the best title of the text?
A. Teaching girls to love STEM B. STEM courses at school C. Helping girls start a club D. The gender gap at school
C
My grandmother grew up in a world different from me. She experienced many things in her long life.
Though she never told stories, her stories were in the way she ate — she savored (品味) her food, cherished (珍惜) it. Often she would be the first to sit at the dinner table, and the last to leave. Food had been really scarce (缺乏) when she grew up.
Her stories were in the way she handed me lucky money. From a young age, my grandmother was brought up to understand the importance of hard work and the necessary of saving. Every Chinese New Year, I would be handed, or sent, a small red envelope that contained money, but never more than twenty dollars. When I was young , I didn’t understand why my grandmother gave me such a small amount of money. As I grew older, I realized that she wasn’t teaching me about money, but about tradition and hard work and family. The money was insignificant. I would probably spend it on any toy that I would lose soon after; it was the meaning behind her gift that mattered. It was her saying, “ I love you; I am your family and I want you to work hard as your family has before you.”
My grandmother’s stories were lessons. But they were never told in words. From the time that I was very young, up until she could barely remember my name, I remember her calling me “good girl”. Those two little words, in the course of my growing up, were a constant reminder that I was still so young, with still so far to go. Now my grandmother is gone, but I see her every day. I see her in the women around me and in the mirror. She lives with me, inside me, and in the legacies(遗产)that I will create. And I know she would be proud.

9. What did the author learn from the way her grandmother gave her lucky money? A. Her grandmother didn’t have much money. B. Her grandmother preferred boys to girls. C. It was a shame to accept others’ money. D. It was important for her to work hard.
10. What did the author realize hearing her grandmother call her “good girl” ? A. She was really a good girl.
B. She needed to continually improve herself.
C. She should be proud of her manners and behaviors. D. She was always a good girl in her grandmother’s eyes.
11. What can we know about the author’s grandmother after reading the passage? A. She loved telling stories. B. She had never worked in her life. C. She set a great example for the author. D. She was a mean woman with old-fashioned values.
D
Consider these five words: island, honour, sign, tongue, climb. At first glance, you probably don't think they have anything in common. Then, you might find some of them contain the most common letter in the English language. And you might need to go back to your grade-school grammar lessons to see the connection. If you're still confused, say each word slowly. Did you notice a missing syllable (音节) or two? Actually, all five words have one or more silent letters—and that's just a small sample of them.
It's no secret that the English language has lots of crazy grammar rules, and the way we pronounce words is no exception. While there are 26 letters in the alphabet, they share at least 44 different pronunciations among them. The letter A, for example, has seven different English pronunciations alone. At least you can safely ignore these common grammar rules.
On top of that, almost every letter in the alphabet has a silent usage, too. Think about it: from the C in scissors to the U in build, the English language has a bad habit of dropping letters in certain words. Even unusual letters like Z and J are silent in words that we have adopted from foreign languages, such as marijuana (originally a Spanish word) and laissez-faire (French).
But as Merriam-Webster Dictionary points out, one unusual letter is never silent: the letter V. While it makes an appearance in words like quiver and vivid, you can be sure it always behaves the exact same way. That might change soon, though. Last year, President Donald Trump tweeted the word “covfefe”, which caused heated debate about how, exactly, one should say this made-up term. Some suggested that it is pronounced with a silent V.
12. What do the underlined words in Paragraph have in common? A. They contain the exactly same letters. B. They have one or more silent letters. C. They are difficult to pronounce. D. They all refer to a place.
13. Why is the letter A mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. To show that it has many pronunciations. B. To tell that English has many grammar rules. C. To explain that words have similar pronunciations. D. To prove English letters have various pronunciations.
