• 7．It was mid-afternoon.I looked outside my dorm window，and saw the lifeless gray sky，the snow and the trackless sidewalks.There was no one in the snow but a squirrel.The brown-gray North American squirrel，a look of terror in his shining eyes，braving the cold to throw himself over snow.In his mouth was a large acorn （橡實）—I was surprised it fit in his mouth.
    I moved closer to my window，outside of which is a medium-sized tree，lacking its warm-weather leaves.The squirrel ran up rapidly，higher and higher in the tree，and his small body held onto his dear acorn.
    Up he went，to the tip of one of the highest branches.I held my breath—I wondered if that slender branch could support him.I wondered if his winter food store was in this tree—squirrels are known to hide their nuts，mushrooms，and vegetation high up in trees.Outside，the squirrel firmly grasped that branch，jaw clamping （夾緊） on his acorn.
    Then came the wind blowing violently，shaking the tree，the branch and the squirrel.He hung on for dear life，both arms wrapped around the branch in the wind.I held my breath：If he fell from a height like this，then ...Seeing this little squirrel，I had my heart in my mouth.As the wind became stronger，the squirrel's precious acorn fell to the ground.The squirrel followed its downward progress only by sight—if he let go the branch，he would fall downwards as well.I was so nervous that I didn't take my gaze off the squirrel for one minute.Surprisingly，he then climbed down the tree and was now half-buried in the snow，searching desperately for his acorn.Finally，he made it.
     The brave animal is able to survive in nature all because of his desperate efforts.The same goes for us humans.We all work hard to survive，and this is the law of nature.So effort is not something special，but a matter for all living things to do to survive.
  
  （1）What did the author discover outside the window？

  
  A．A squirrel was freezing nearly to death.
  B．A squirrel was choked by a large acorn.

  C．Slim.
  D．Thick.
  （3）What is the author's attitude to the squirrel in paragraph 4？

  
  A．Concerned.

• 8．Recently，research on how a new virtual reality（VR）experience educated primary children about the fire disasters was done.It was developed by the University of South Australia，aiming to educate children to learn how to be safer in a fire.
     Focusing on children aged 10-12 years old，the new VR experience presents a situation where children are tasked to look after a friend's dog just before a fire event begins to unfold.They participate in a series of problem-solving activities to help save and protect themselves and the dog.
     The findings showed that more than 80 per cent of children reported that they felt more confident to calmly evaluate the options and make wise decisions to protect themselves from a fire.This is especially significant considering that 91 per cent of participants originally lacked any knowledge of fires，and that 67 per cent had said that they were too young to make safety decisions in a fire.
     The researchers believed such immersive（沉浸式的）VR experiences had real potential to engage，educate and empower the young."As children born in digital times，they are engaged by such technology and they can experience events realistically yet within the safe environment，"said Delene Weber，one of the researchers."Well-designed VR can provide an opportunity for children to apply newly acquired knowledge，strengthen their learnt concepts，and enable immediate feedback—all incredibly valuable learning tools."
     Meanwhile，because children have fewer life experiences，aren't as physically strong，and are less likely to have learned much about fire safety，they're often most at risk.Yet the capacity for children to contribute to fire safety at their household should not be underestimated.
     "Children do not need to be passive victims of disasters and with purpose-built virtual reality experiences such as these，we can help empower children to understand the risks and realize they can help，"said Weber.
  
  （1）How does the new VR experience try to educate children？

  
  A．By introducing a virtual friend to them.
  B．By letting them solve virtual problems.
  C．By analyzing the causes of a fire event.
  D．By guiding them to ask dog for help.
  （2）What did the result of the research about VR experiences show？

  
  A．Many children found it hard to adapt to them.
  B．They worked for children with knowledge of fire.
  C．They could greatly help ensure children's safety.
  D．Most children had a misunderstanding about them.
  （3）What is Weber think of the new VR experiences？

  
  A．Unrealistic.
  B．Dangerous.
  C．Unnecessary.
  D．Significant.
  （4）What can be the most suitable title for the text？

  
  A．VR experiences make learning easier for kids
  B．VR experiences educate kids to survive a fire
  C．VR education appeals to the young generation
  D．VR technology makes no sense in fighting a fire

• 9．How to Convince Your Parents to Give You More Freedom As you grow up，it can happen that you want more time to go out with friends or more computer time，but your parents are concerned about you.In this case，how can you gain more freedom from your parents？ （1）

  Here are some tips to help you make it.
     Follow your parents' rules and instructions without complaint.（2）

  You are also sup- posed to take care of your chores，such as cleaning your room or finishing your homework in time without being asked.It will remind them how responsibly you've been acting and show them your self-control.
     （3）

  Let them know what's on your mind and what's going on in your life.They'll be more likely to consider your requests if they understand your point of view.Ask them for advice regarding school，friends，or anything else you have going on.They will appreciate that you value their opinions.
     Avoid dangerous behaviors and wrong companions.It will be much harder for your parents to give you more freedom if you're drinking，partying a lot，or hanging out with the wrong crowds. （4）

  Your parents can see how reliable they are.Always ask for permission before hanging out or staying out late.Your parents will feel relieved to know where you are and what you are doing.
     Remain calm and accept their decision.Explain to them exactly why you think you can handle this particular freedom.If they say no，respect that choice.Becoming angry will only prove to them that you are not yet mature enough to handle additional freedom.Continue your good behavior instead.They might eventually recognize that you have grown up. （5）

  
  
  A.If possible，bring your friends home.
  B.Naturally you will be given more freedom.
  C.Always come home when you're supposed to.
  D.Choose an appropriate time to discuss this topic.
