24、   We all know that animals are better at some things than humans, and we can usually explain why animals can do some things better than us. One of the natural abilities many animals have is their homing instinct, which can help them find their homes. These animals such as pigeons(鸽子), bees, frogs and cats are able to find their way home, sometimes making journeys of hundreds of kilometers back home. In our daily life, humans can make use of an animal's homing instinct. Pigeons, for example, have been used to send information or carry letters in times of war. Today some people train their pigeons and take part in pigeon races as a hobby.

There are many interesting stories of the homing instinct at work. In the USA, a cat traveled 1,360 kilometers back to its old home after the owners moved, taking nearly a year over the journey. When we lose our kitten, we usually find her again near the house where she was born. We have a pool in the garden where the frogs come back every year. I even heard a dog which was hurt by a car managed to take itself to the house. There are other wonderful stories about the homing instinct. But how do these animals find their way home?

They can't read maps and, as we know, they can't ask each other for directions. It seems that some animals use their sense of smell to take them back to the place where they were born. Other animals such as birds and bees may use the sun, the stars and the moon to help them find their way. Scientists believe that some animals have special things in their brain which help them to find their way. As for cats, nobody really knows how their homing instinct works and I am sure-cats are never going to tell us their secrets.

【1】What does the underlined word "instinct" in Paragraph 1 mean?

A．Animal behaviour.

B．Better things.

C．Th secret of animals.

D．Natural ability.

【2】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．All the animals can go back home from far-away places.

B．Humans use animals' homing instinct to work for them.

C．Humans have better homing instinct than animals.

D．Scientists know exactly how animals' homing instinct works.

【3】What does the passage mainly tell us?

A．How humans are different from animals.

B．What special ability some animals have.

C．Why some people like to train animals.

D．When some animals can go back home.

25、My family lived in a tiny house. My father was a postman, and he often worked twelve hours a day outside in the winter cold or in the summer heat. My mum was a farm girl before she met my father. She was a kind and loving mother. She didn’t go out to work. There were five children in my family, and looking after us was more than a full-time job.

The food we ate was simple. We could only eat meat once or twice a year. I wasn’t sent to school because my family couldn’t afford it.

But now, families have got smaller than they were in the past. The role of women has changed too. My daughter is really lucky. She has a good education. I’m happy that she can go to work even after getting married, but sometimes I feel lonely because she can’t come to see me often.

Transport and travel are much easier today. When I was young, I went everywhere on foot or sometimes by bike. Now you can take the bus, the underground or a plane to travel. What I don’t like is that there’s so much more traffic. It’s so difficult to cross the road. And, of course, we have televisions today and I really enjoy watching TV. But I hate some of the shows because they are too noisy for me.

Generally speaking, I think life is better today. We eat better and we live longer.

26、   I'm David. Long ago, I came to the city near my hometown to find job. I met all kinds of difficulties and I used up all my money soon.

It was dark outside one day. I got on a bus quietly. Suddenly, a passenger cried in a loud voice, "Someone has stolen my money!" I felt nervous, because his money was in my hand. Some people suggested the driver drive the bus to the police station, but some were against it because they were in a hurry to go back home. The whole bus was very noisy. The driver then stopped the bus by the roadside and turned on the lights. At that time, one passenger said, "Turn off the lights and give the thief a chance to take out the money." Then the bus got dark when I was still thinking about whether to take out the money or not. The lights were on again. There was no money on the floor. Someone said again, "Give him one more chance." The lights were turned off again. I became even more nervous. The lights were turned on again, but they got the same result. Then the passengers fell into an open discussion. Later, someone said, "Give him the last chance!" I felt awakened and took out all the money when the lights were turned off again.

For many years I have been grateful to those who gave me three chances. When the first and second chances come, you may not be prepared well or don't have enough courage to act. When the third chance comes, you should know clearly what you should do.
