I had just won a bidding for a 1950s cookie tin full of memories at an estate sale. Delighted at my victory, I took the box and gave it a shake. The contents rattled. Inside were hundreds of buttons, pins, and other items, all glittering in the sunlight. As a girl, I'd always enjoyed digging through my mom's box, just as my daughters enjoyed looking through mine.
My eye caught the movement of a swing on the front porch of the house. An old woman watched the happenings in her yard. As I carried my purchases to my car, I stopped to chat with her. She told me she was selling almost all her possessions because she was moving to a nursing home.
Her eyes fell to the button box, and when she looked up, they were glistening with tears. I took the lid off the tin, and her rough hands lifted a handful of buttons and then slowly dropped them back into the container. Her fist closed around a delicate pearl button, now yellow with age. \"It was from my first husband's uniform,\" she said. \"It's one of the few things that remind me of him when he didn't return home alive.\" They had been married seven months before he left to serve his country in World War II.
As we sifted through the box together, we found hairpins ranging from black to brown to shades of gray and even white; a key to a music box that played a special love song; garter clips, wooden nickels, ruby buttons; all took her further down memory lane. I learned about her wedding, the birth of her children, and much more of the life she'd led for 89 years.
After our chat, I set the woman's box of memories down on the swing and slid my hands into hers. I knew we would talk again, when I went to visit her at her new home. And I knew that when l reached my own home, my heart would pull me to my sewing room, where I would rediscover my own lifetime of memories in my own button box.
24. How did the author feel when she got the tin?
A. Curious. B. Regretful. C. Joyful. D. Embarrassed. 25. What can we infer about the old woman from the text?
A. She was to sell her house and move to a new one. B. She had to sell many things to make ends meet. C. She didn't marry again after her husband died. D. She was the former owner of the cookie tin. 26. What does the underlined phrase \"sifted through\" in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Examined. B. Picked. C. Carried. D. Decorated. 27. What does the button box represent?
A. Antiques that add history to a place. B. Memories of unpleasant experiences. C. Objects that bring moments to mind. D. Expressions of kindness from strangers.

Genghis Khan(成吉思汗)remains to this day one of the most successful men to have walked the Earth. Rising from an outcast to be the ruler of the largest land empire to have ever existed, he introduced an alphabet and an official form of money, united a kingdom of tribes at war with each other, and conquered most of the known world. His empire spread from Poland to Japan. It is estimated that one in every 200 men on the planet today is related to Genghis Khan. But there are no accounts of the events that surrounded his death and burial; only a mystery focused around an area known as the Forbidden Zone.
From the time of the Khan's death in 1227 up until 1991 the Forbidden Zone was as off-limits as any place in the world. Shortly after he died, the surviving Mongol leaders ordered a group of 50 fierce families, known as the Uryangqai of the Woods, to occupy this land and kill anyone who entered without permission.
They made exceptions only for the funeral processions(队伍)of the Khan's direct descendants, who were also allowed to be buried there. This extreme degree of secrecy has led many to the conclusion that the body of Genghis Khan himself lies in a tomb somewhere in this zone, along with some of the treasures of an empire vaster than those of Napoleon and Alexander the Great combined. When the U.S.S. R.(前苏联)took over Mongolia in 1924; they killed all the Uryangqai of the Woods just as they tried to erase the memory of the great Khan. The Forbidden Zone -still remained off-limits, however. It wasn't .until the fall of the U.S.S.R. in 1991 that entering the Forbidden Zone became possible for scientists and historians. Even today, eight centuries after it quietly rested, the Forbidden Zone has been visited by very few.
28. Which of the following statements about Genghis Khan is TRUE? A. He was the ruler of the largest empire in history. B. He united and occupied many parts of the world. C. An exact number of 200 people are related to him today. D. He was buried in what is known as the Forbidden Zone. 29. What can we learn about the Uryangqai of the Woods? A. They buried Genghis Khan's body in secret. B. They were ordered to occupy the Forbidden Zone. C. They were killed because they hated Genghis Khan. D. They forbade everyone from entering the Forbidden Zone. 30. What would the author probably write about next?
A. Who visited the Forbidden Zone. B. When the Forbidden Zone was discovered. C. Why the U.S.S.R. killed all the Uryangqai. D. How the great Khan conquered the known world. 31. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Genghis Khan, a Great Emperor B. The Forbidden Zone, a Remaining Mystery C. The Discovery of Genghis Khan's Tomb D. The Bravery of the Uryangqai of the Woods

In ancient times, our ancestors relied on stars to guide them on a clear night. Today, we have navigational systems to help us find our way, with the latest being the Beidou Navigation Satellite System (BDS).
The BDS is entirely built by Chinese engineers. With the launch of the last satellite from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center on June 23, the global network of 59 satellites has been completed. On July 31, Beidou started providing full-scale global services. It’s difficult to imagine the dramatic impact those satellites, orbiting (绕…运转) the Earth, have on our daily lives.

When you unlock one of Hellobike’s bicycles, you are using the BDS. The popular bike-sharing company came out with two new bike models this year that are equipped with the positioning service. “The intelligent lock on each bike receives Beidou satellite signals and sends positioning information to the data center, which will help collect big data on the bikes and estimate users’ riding demands in advance according to the data,” Chu Yiqun, a manager of Hellobike told Xinhua News Agency. Users can also find shared bikes more accurately thanks to Beidou’s global positioning accuracy of 2.34 meters.
However, the BDS doesn’t just work one way. As the country’s largest space-based system and one of four global navigation networks, along with the United States’ GPS, Russia’s GLONASS and the European Union’s Galileo, Beidou adopts a unique two-way communication system, including its ability to receive messages sent by people from areas with poor communication signals. Obviously, this exclusive function isn’t designed for users to chat online. Instead, it plays a role when disasters occur and communications are blocked.
After the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, all ground-based communication facilities were interrupted. Though the first generation of Beidou could only send 120 characters in a single message at that time, communication between affected areas and rescue centers was successful. Now, Beidou’s messaging capacity has been increased to 1,200 Chinese characters in a single message. It is widely used in disaster alarms, automatic identification and information release.
As Sun Jiadong, former chief designer of the BDS said: “The application of Beidou is merely limited by imagination.”
32. What can we know about Beidou from the passage? A. It’s able to provide worldwide coverage for navigation. B. Its last satellite was launched in Xichang on July C. It’s one of the five global navigation networks. D. It’s jointly developed by Chinese and foreign engineers. 33. Why is Hellobike mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To present the benefits and limitations of the BDS. B. To highlight the high positioning accuracy of the BDS. C. To show how the BDS makes people’s daily lives easier D. To explain the unique way in which the BDS works.
34. What is the function of Beidou’s two-way communication system? A. To collect instant feedback sent by global users. B. To allow users to chat online more conveniently. C. To make communication more fun and efficient. D. To help people when communication signals are weak. 35. What do Sun Jiadong’s words in the last paragraph imply? A. Beidou stimulates users’ imagination. B. Beidou may be more helpful than we know. C. Beidou is currently limited in application. D . Beidou needs to be further perfected.

How To Make Your Garden Pet-Friendly
5
Have you ever thought of providing your pet with a comfortable garden? 36 And whether you have a dog, cat, miniature pig or a host of different animals to spend your time with, it's crucial they have a safe environment in which to play in the open air.
37 This could stretch the whole breadth of your garden, or just a section if you'd prefer to keep a part of your space as a human-only zone.
When choosing what to have underfoot, grass is a clear winner and paved pathways are also safe for paws to pad about on. Try to avoid loose materials such as gravel(砂砾)which could get stuck and injure your pet. 38 Daffodils, English Ivy, Mistletoe and many more are harmful to dogs; research what your pet can and cannot tolerate.
Finding shade for an animal is vital(imagine spending summer in a fur coat without a break), so provide areas where they can rest and retreat from the sun. 39 Since animals aren't known for their lavatorial(入厕的)manners, you will be left to clear up their business. 40 Other than being an eyesore for your much-loved landscape, not clearing up after your pets could lead to health problems for humans and other animals. A. Our furry companions love the outdoors. B. Your pets probably like colorful flowers.
C. However annoying the chore, it's an important one. D. Start with a strong, firm fence to assign their boundaries. E. It is also a polite behavior for the pet-owner in public places.
F. Leaving water in these spaces can be enough encouragement for them to visit. G. Besides, knowing which plants could be potentially poisonous is also important.

When I was a very young children, my father created a regular practice I remember well years late. Every time he arrived home at end of the day, we'd greet her at the door.
