• 2．    My love for Rio started on a girl's holiday in the year 2006.It was love at first sight.Six months after returning to my hometown of London I decided to leave my job as a Board Director at a public relations （PR） company，packed up everything and moved here.
      Unable to continue my profession of PR without the required language fluency，I fell into buying and selling properties （房產(chǎn)） while enjoying everything that Rio had to offer.One thing led to another and before long，I had become a property agent （代理商） and in 2010 set up In Town Property，which today is one of Rio's top property letting and buying companies.
      I've always had a deep love for dance and I was immediately drawn to samba.I love its exciting rhythm （節(jié)奏），and the joy （喜悅） and freedom it offers.On arrival I decided it would be necessary to learn Portuguese but just as important would be samba.Within my first few months living here I had begun samba lessons.
      In 2011 I paraded in the Rio Carnival festival for the first time.It was a wonderful experience.I'd never felt more happiness than singing loudly as I sambaed all the way down the street.Since then I have been in the parade every year.
      Over the last years，I have had the opportunity to parade with some of Rio's top samba schools，such as Mocidade，Beija-Flor，and Império da Tijuca.In 2017 I had the great honor of dancing for Império da Tijuca on its first float （花車）.It was an unbelievable experience!
      I'm so passionate about this city，carnival and samba.They bring joy to the world and I want to share my love and experience with others.I think everyone needs a chance in life to live out their dreams and can't wait to bring this magic to you!

• 3．    People love their pets.Research shows that 19% of Americans got a new pet during the COVID-19 pandemic.A recent survey shows cities can get as much advantage as possible from those dogs and cats to help develop local businesses.
      "If you are looking for footfall for a retail （零售） area like a shopping center or a central street in a town or city，a pet store is quite a good way to get it，"said Jeremy King，CEO of the consumer （消費者） research company Attest.
      The company's research shows that most people like to shop for their pets at supermarkets，pet stores，or other in-person places."Pet owners will spend lots of money，and they don't buy these products online，"said King."They're looking for an experience and will probably include their pets in that experience."
      King said most pet owners view it as a lifestyle."There's just a huge love for the pet itself and also the whole experience of owning a pet，"King said."So it's not a surprise that when people buy new toys for their pets，they go with their pets and make it an adventure."
      It's a lifestyle trend （趨勢） that goes beyond the retail stores and into the home.57% of pet owners let their pets sleep in the bed；48% buy their pets presents during the holidays；21% cook for their pets.
      "There are people who would be happy to eat their own cat food，"King said."The meals these pet owners cook for their animals are delicious and nutritious （營養(yǎng)豐富的）.Sometimes it's better than the lunch or dinner they're eating themselves."
      The research also shows about one-third of pet owners try to bring their animals"wherever they can."This attitude has led to some changes in the tourism industry.The number of pet-friendly hotels has climbed over the past 20 years.More than half of hotels will now allow you to bring a pet.
  
  （1）Which of the following is a finding of the research？

  
  A．People in cities are more likely to raise a pet.
  B．Half of Americans got a new pet in the past year.
  C．Pet stores are mainly located in central streets.

  C．Pets have become very lazy.
  D．Pets love to live with people.
  （4）What is the best title for the text？

• 4．    The police in Pinellas County，F(xiàn)lorida，have responded （作出反應(yīng)） to countless calls from St.Pete Beach over the years，but a recent call from a local hotel guard asking for help rounding up some unwelcome visitors wasn't an ordinary situation.The visitors hanging around the hotel were baby sea turtles （海龜）!
      "While most of us were sleeping，Mackesy，Lopez，and Wheeler responded to a call early this morning from a guard at a hotel on St.Pete Beach concerning baby sea turtles that had gotten very lost while making their first journey to the ocean，"the Pinellas County Police Office shared in a Facebook post.
      According to the post，the hotel guard had already collected about 15 of the tiny turtles before calling for help.Once officers arrived，they continued to locate the confused turtles in the hotel pool，bushes，bathrooms and even in a water pipeline.
      That's when one of the officers contacted the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for some expert advice about what to do with the animals.The wildlife experts told the officers to bring the turtles to the beach and let them go to the ocean on their own.
      According to the group Sea Turtle Trackers，which watches over turtle activity on St.Pete Beach and in Shell Key Preserve，newly hatched （剛孵化的） turtles use natural light to find their position and lead them to the ocean.Sometimes，though，artificial （人造的） light from nearby buildings can influence their directional system.This is likely how this group of little ones ended up moving toward the hotel where they were found.
      The organization shared on Facebook that it plans to work more with St.Pete Beach Code Enforcement Department and the hotel in question"to educate them on the importance of wildlife-friendly lighting，"to help reduce these kinds of situations in the future.Safer practices would include using colored filters （濾 光 鏡） on light sources to help avoid attracting the attention of newly hatched turtles.
  
  （1）What happened early that morning？

  
  A．Someone got lost in Pinellas County.
  B．A guard called the police for protection.
  C．A hotel was broken into by wild animals.
  D．Some sea turtles laid eggs on St.Pete Beach.
  （2）What do we know about the baby sea turtles？

  
  A．They were placed in a hotel pool.
  B．They were found by a police officer.
  C．They will be studied by wildlife experts.
  D．They will make their own way to the ocean.
  （3）What caused the baby sea turtles to move to the hotel？

  
  A．Artificial noise.
  B．Hotel lighting.
  C．The laws of nature.
  D．The waves of the ocean.
  （4）What is the text mainly about？

  
  A．A special rescue.
  B．A serious problem.
  C．A shameful mistake.
  D．A successful journey
