But today it was Tamara's first hike. She put on her new boots and tied the laces."Tamara," her mother called. "Are you ready?" "Yes, I am!" Tamara said excitedly.Her mother and her older brother James were ready, too.Tamara's family got into the car. They drove for two hours. Then, the road climbed high. They were driving into the mountains. Tamara rolled down her window． The air was cool and it smelled like leaves and flowers. Thirty minutes later, Tamara's mother parked the car. "Are we here? Is this the hike?" asked Tamara."Yes," said James. "See that trail (小路)? That's where we'll start hiking."Tamara looked at the steep (陡峭的) trail. It was long and went into the forest. Tall trees and tiny flowers lined both sides of the trail. They began to walk. Ta mara's mother and her brother talked from time to time. Tamara wanted to talk, but she felt out of breath.

That's old enough to hike."If her mother said she could do it, Tamara knew she could. "If I try my best, I will make it!" She took a deep breath and kept going. Along the way, she tried to look around at the plants to keep her mind off how tired she felt. It was her first time to see the trees with such long leaves."Look, Tamara!" her brother called suddenly. The trail ended. They were at a pool next to a waterfall (瀑布). It was so beautiful that Tamara couldn't help taking off her boots. She sat on the rock and put her feet into the water. It took away her tiredness. "Congratulations, Tamara!" said her mother.

You write "Is skiing difficult to learn?" on your computer. You open a web page and read an article about learning skiing. Later the same day, while you're sending an email, an ad of skiing training pops up quickly on thescreen(屏幕). How does it happen? The simple answer is online data. It is talking.Every time we look for information on the Internet or on our smartphones, websites and apps are collecting data. Some companies use this way to follow exactly what we are doing. And they can guess what we are interested in and sell the things we really want to buy.As more people are worried about data safety, governments are taking an active role inprotecting(保护) our data. At the same time, what can we do to protect our data? Here aresome ways.Do not share personal information on social networking sites(社交网站). There are times when you get an e-mail from someone pretending(假装)to be a person you know, and then ask questions about your ID card number or address.Avoid(避免) connecting your computer to any public Internet. When you connect it toan unsafe public Internet connection, people can easily steal any information on it.Be careful of phishing sites(钓鱼网站). Phishing sites copy other websites, such asbanks or online shops, and name their website addresses almost the same as theoriginal(原始的) sites. For example, they maychange to .As the ways of using the Internet continue to grow and change, we need to stay wise and careful about how to protect ourselves.25.The underlined words "pops up" in Paragraph 2 probably mean "______".A. stands upB. helps outC. comes outD. runs up26.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. When our data is shared.B. Why our data is collected.C. Where we look for information.D. What online companies are doing.27.What's the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?A. To ask the government to take action.B. To show the problems about the Internet.C. To make us less worried about data sharing.D. To tell us to protect our online data carefully.OHave you ever met someone who makes a noise in public or someone who jumps the queue? These people get our hearts beating fast and give us stress (压力). Anger isn't a pleasant feeling. Some can control (控制) it, while others can't. Both ways have influence (影响) on our bodies and minds. So, understanding our anger can help us express (表达) it more healthfully.Anger makes people feel uncomfortable, but it's normal and healthy. Unluckily, ma ny of us keep our anger hidden. This can have long-term effects on our health. Experts find that people who overcontrol their anger live a shorter lifetime. They're more likely to die earlier from diseases.Is it better, then, to shout and show unhappiness whenever something makes us mad? In fact, a research shows that when we express anger overly, the intensity (强度) of the anger will be higher and we will get angry easily in the future. This will further influence our personal relationship and hurt our health. A study finds that people are more than twice as likely to have a heart problem after a strong expression of anger.Whether we overcontrol or overexpress anger, it will be unhealthy. But if we're able to use some skills to manage anger, everything will be in our control.Start by looking beyond what causes our anger. There are deep reasons behind it. Maybe our parents are angry with us when we are home late, but it's really because they are worried about our safety.Another way of dealing with anger is to talk about it. A study shows that if we nameour feelings, we can actually calm our activity in amygdala, one part of our brain. Explaining it gives us a cool-down period, which makes us think about what's troubling us. We can also free our anger by taking a deep breath and doing some physical activities. Besides, when we face an angry person, there are good sides if we try to understand the other person's anger. We should focus on his activity and why he troubles us, not hispersonality (性格). Then the other person will learn to deal with anger.Next time when we face anger, remember to make a change and you can always find a better way to understand and deal with it.28.According to Paragraph 1, ______.A. anger can't be controlledB. anger does not give us stressC. understanding anger is very helpfulD. showing anger has bad influence on us29.What can we learn from the passage?A. Itˈs healthy to keep our anger hidden.B. Overexpressing anger will make us angrier.C. We will get angry more easily if we control anger.D. It's better to shout and show unhappiness when we're mad.30.How can we deal with anger according to the passage?A. By calming our activity in brain.B. By asking others to understand our anger.C. By thinking about deep reasons behind anger.D. By changing the personality of the angry person.31.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Anger: Express It or NotB. Anger: Manage It in the Right WayC. Anger: An Unhealthy FeelingD. Anger: The Reason Behind the Illness32.Earlier this month, Yunnan's migrating (迁徙) elephant herd headed back home.
