26、When it comes to unlikely friendships, wildlife never stops to amaze. And a giant 450-pound gorilla (大猩猩) sharing a heart-warming moment with a 0.5-pound wild bushbaby (灌丛婴猴) is definitely an unusual sight to be seen.
Over 300 rescued animals live at Ape Action Africa, Cameroon — a sanctuary (鸟兽保护区) for endangered animals like gorillas, chimpanzees and monkeys. Bobo, a western lowland gorilla, is among the first residents at the sanctuary. The huge male arrived at the sanctuary when he was only two, after losing his mom due to poaching (偷猎). And back then, Bobo was far from the strong male he’s now.
Even though he’s such a fearless animal, Bobo is nothing but a gentle giant. And recently, his gentleness even blew away the caretakers at the sanctuary. While on their morning checks, the caretakers could not believe their eyes when they saw Bobo sharing a lovely moment with his newest and most unusual friend —a wild bushbaby.
It’s quite amazing to watch the tiny animal interacting in such a friendly manner with its giant neighbor. “The bushbaby showed no fear of Bobo,”said Elissa O’Sullivan, spokesperson for Ape Action Africa. “He moved around Bobo’s body and spent his time jumping around in an open grassy area, before choosing to return to Bobo.”
Wild bushbabies are normally nocturnal animals, so watching a bushbaby hanging with a group of gorillas in full daylight was even more amazing for the caretakers. “It is very uncommon to see a bushbaby during the day,” a staff member said. “We have never seen a wild animal interacting with a rescued one at the sanctuary.”
The other gorillas —three females and three young males, soon became very interested in Bobo’s new friend. However, Bobo suddenly became overprotective towards his tiny companion and he kept his group away from it. “Bobo’s group-mates were extremely curious, but he kept them all at a distance, making sure that no one disturbed (打扰) his new friend,” another staff member said. “The little bushbaby was happy to play in Bobo’s arms.”
【1】What do we know about Bobo?
A.He lost a family member at age two.
B.He was born at a large sanctuary.
C.He protected his mother from poaching.
D.He was the first gorilla at Ape Action Africa.
【2】What did the caretakers discover during their morning checks?
A.Bobo made a surprising new friend.
B.A bushbaby was lying beside Bobo.
C.Bobo jumped around with his friends.
D.A bushbaby returned to care for Bobo.
【3】What might the underlined part “nocturnal animals” in paragraph 5 mean?
A.The animals that live in the bushes.
B.The animals that like to hunt alone.
C.The animals that hang with large animals.
D.The animals that rest during the daytime.
【4】What was Bobo’s attitude towards those gorillas showing interest in the bushbaby?
A.Unselfish.
B.Unfriendly.
C.Uncaring.
D.Unclear.
27、 We are taught from childhood to be polite, civilized (有教养的) and considerate (体贴的) , yet many of us forget this as we grow up.

29、As a clueless freshman, I waltzed into my first creative writing course by accident, thinking it was a literature class on how to read stories, not how to write them.
When the teacher introduced the course, I realized my mistake. The credits I earned from the course wouldn’t count toward my major. By the end of the session, however, I decided that I had to be a part of the course. Perhaps, as a lifelong reader, I was eager to understand how stories worked their magic.
But taking the class would be impossible: I wasn’t even on the waitlist. That’s when the teacher asked for a volunteer to submit the first workshop story.
Silence blanketed the room. No one risked eye contact. Whoever volunteered would have to write a whole story in a week. Perhaps they, like me, had never written one before.
Seizing my chance, I raised my hand and asked, “If I go first, will you give me a spot in the class?” He said he would.
So, instead of keeping my head down and avoiding eye contact, I did the opposite.
Years later, I’d completed a degree in creative writing and was working on a novel when a literary agent (经纪人) asked to read the first 50 pages of my draft. But I wasn’t comfortable showing her anything; the novel was far from done.
Throughout graduate school, I’d been advised many times not to contact agents until I have a complete draft. In the meanwhile, I knew the beginning of my story was attractive and that the agent might not remember me after a year.
So, once again, instead of keeping my head down and avoiding eye contact, I did the opposite. I sent her the first three chapters. A month later, she signed me on the strength of those chapters alone. She has since seen me through the publication of three novels.
Determination, focus, perseverance—the qualities that I consider crucial in getting me into Stanford no doubt helped me become the novelist I am today. And yet if I’d trained my gaze only on the path ahead, I would have missed so many happy accidents, so many beautiful opportunities to look up, raise my hand, and say yes.
【1】What made the author finally decide to take the course?
A.The popularity of the course.
B.Her curiosity about story writing.
C.Her confidence in her writing skills.
D.The need to get credits for her degree.
【2】The author volunteered to write the first workshop story to
A.challenge herself
B.impress the teacher
C.display her talent
D.win a place in the class
【3】The author sent her first three chapters to the agent because

B.her story was attractive to readers
C.the agent asked her to turn in the work
D.she wanted to get the chance of publication
【4】What does the passage mainly tell us?
A.Action speaks louder than words.
B.Chance favors only the prepared mind.
C.Success comes to those who will and dare.
D.Confidence leads to growth and fulfillment.
