Sudha Chandran， a classical dancer from India， had to have her right leg cut after a car accident. She was also cut off on her bright career road.

However， she didnt stop struggling. In the painful three months that followed， Sudha met a doctor who had an operation on her leg. So strongly she wanted to go back to dancing after she had been fitted with a man-made leg. Sudha knew that she believed in herself and could realize her dream， so she began her brave journey back to the world of dancing—learning to balance， bend， stretch， walk， and turn.

After every public recital （個人表演）， she would ask her dad about her performance. “You still have a long way to go” was the answer she used to get in return. In January 1984， Sudha gained popularity again by giving a public recital in Bombay. She performed in such a great manner that it moved everyone to tears and this performance pushed her to the number one position again. That evening when she asked her dad the same question， he didnt say anything. He just touched her feet as a praise.

Sudhas comeback was so touching that a film producer decided to make the story into a film， which has moved more and more people.

When someone asked Sudha how she had managed to dance again， she said quite simply， “YOU DONT NEED FEET TO DANCE. Nothing is impossible in this world. If you have the will to win， you can achieve anything.”

Sue Hendrickson is a self-taught fossil （化石） hunter. As a kid， Sue Hendrickson often walked with her head down. “People said， Look up. Smile！” she says. “Now， I realize I was born to look for things and just didnt know it.”

Sue Hendrickson does more than look—she finds valuable things： Shipwrecks （沉船） with treasure， ancient sunken cities， and in 1990， she found Sue， the worlds largest， most complete Tyrannosaurus rex （霸王龍）.

“I limit the area where Im going to look，” she says. No one knew the location of the sunken ship San Diego in the Philippines. For a year， Hendrickson and other researchers searched papers and sailors diaries. “The descriptions of the ships sailors led us to the wreck，” she says. The team also used a tool that can respond to metal. This tool found the San Diego. All the work paid off. The 400-year-old ship was complete， with valuable gold and silver coins.

To find the dinosaur she calls “the biggest animal that ever walked on Earth”， Hendrickson started with maps made to search for oil. What Hendrickson found was the largest and most complete T-rex found to date. The T-rex is 42 feet long with 200 bones！ Because it is so complete， scientists were able to infer that Sue walked at about 6 miles per hour and did not run faster than 15 miles an hour. Before Sue was discovered， they thought T-rex was much faster. To learn more about T-rex Sue， go to the Field Museum in Chicago.

Theres plenty left to be found， Hendrickson says， including answers to mysterious questions such as how T-rex lived. “I tell kids that they need to grow up and work them out because all of us old persons havent yet！”

28. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about？

A. An ancient city. B. Hendricksons hobby.

C. The worlds largest T-rex. D. Hendricksons findings.

29. How did Hendrickson find the sunken ship San Diego？

A. With a self-made tool. B. By starting with research.

C. With the help of oil maps. D. By following sailors lead.

30. What can we learn about T-rex Sue？

A. It helped scientists learn new things about T-rex.

B. It let people know how T-rex lived.

C. It ran faster than any other T-rexes.

D. It was the biggest dinosaur.

31. What does Hendrickson advise kids to do？

A. Find more details. B. Learn to explore mysteries.

C. Visit the Field Museum. D. Respect scientific research.

When humans make friends， we often choose companions who share similar characteristics to us or enjoy participating in the same activities that we enjoy. Interestingly， it turns out that dolphins may not be so different， according to a study which found that the animals form strong social ties with those who have similar interests. In some ways， this may not be surprising， if we know dolphins live in groups characterized by complex social activities. However， the latest findings are yet another powerful example of the intelligence that these creatures possess.

For the study， an international team of scientists studied a unique group of bottlenose dolphins， who live in the World Heritage area of Shark Bay， Western Australia. They are particularly interesting because the females are known to use sea sponges （海绵） as foraging （觅食） tools， a behavior that hasnt been perceived anywhere else. The behavior known as “sponging”， helps the dolphins to find food in deeper waters and is socially learned， being passed down from mother to baby.

Previous studies have shown that females in this group who use sea sponges to find food often like to hang out with other females who do the same. However， studies of this behavior in males are lacking， leaving a gap （空白） in our knowledge. To try and address this gap， the researchers collected data on 124 male dolphins in Shark Bay over a 9-year period between 2007 and 2015. Among these dolphins， some had the sponging behavior， while others did not. After analyzing their data， the team came to the conclusion that those males who used sponges for foraging associated significantly more often with other “spongers”， no matter how related they were to their companions. Interestingly， male spongers spent significantly more time foraging and less time resting than non-spongers.

According to the lead author of the study， Manuela Bizzozzero， the findings cast new light on the social ties between male dolphins at Shark Bay.

32. What can we learn about dolphins according to Paragraph 1？

A. They are humans good friends.

B. They make friends like humans.

C. They can understand humans emotions.

D. They confuse human lifestyles with theirs.

33. What does the underlined word “perceived” in Paragraph 2 probably mean？

A. Influenced. B. Prevented.

C. Observed. D. Accepted.

34. Why does the writer mention previous studies in Paragraph 3？

A. To explain the intention of the latest studies.

B. To present their achievements in dolphin research.

C. To stress that dolphins have the socially learned behavior.

D. To show how female dolphins use sea sponges to find food.

35. What is the finding of the studies on male bottlenose dolphins？

A. Few of them make use of sponges to find food.

B. A large quantity of them mainly feed on sponges.

C. Male spongers enjoy staying with other spongers.

D. Male spongers rest more often than non-spongers.

At each stage of our life， we meet different kinds of people. Some teach us lessons in life while others occupy a special space in our heart. The people  （call） “best friends” are just these special friends.

In our childhood， “best friends” might have meant the persons who are always by our side，  it may be in the classroom or in the dining hall. However， as we are getting  （old） than before， our definition （定义） of “best friends” changes. In my opinion， best friends are those who love you  who you are and help you become who you should be.

True friends are those who will never leave you when you need them most. They are always there  （wait） for you and they love you when you forget to love  （you）. The best feeling in the whole world is knowing that there is  person who always prays for us and always keeps us in their thoughts. Friendship may not  （necessary） be based on age， but it is based on  （understand）. Even our parents can be our best friends！So let us build our friendship and try our best  （see） the good side of everyone！
