We all know that animals are better at some things than our humans, and we can usually explain why animals can do certain things better than us. One of the skills which many animals have is homing instinct(本能). These animals such as pigeons, bees, salmons(三文鱼), frogs and cats are able to find their way home, sometimes making journeys of hundreds of kilometers back home. In our daily life, humans can make use of an animal’s homing instinct. Pigeons, for examples have been used to carry messages or letters to the battles(战场) in times of war. Nowadays some people join in the Pigeon Association(协会) with the pigeons they have trained because they look on pigeon racing as a hobby and they even bet(打赌) money on which pigeon would win in the race organized by the association.
There are many interesting stories of the homing instinct at work. In the USA a cat traveled 1,360 kilometers back to its old home after the owners moved, taking nearly a year over the journey. When we lose our kitten(小猫), we usually find her again near the house where she was born. We have a pond in the garden where the frogs come back every year. I even heard a dog which was injured by a car managed to take itself to the vet! There are other wonderful stories about the homing instinct. But how do these animals find their way home? They don’t have satellite navigation(导航) with them, they can’t read maps and, as far as we know, they can’t ask each other for directions. It seems that some animals, such as salmons, use their sense of smell to take them back to the place where they were born. Other animals such as birds and bees may use the sun, the stars and the moon to help them find their way. There is a theory (理论) that some animals have magnetic(磁的) cells in their brain which help them to find their way. As far as cats are concerned, nobody really knows how their homing instinct works and I am sure cats are never going to give away their secrets.
Finally, a joke about the homing instinct:
Question: What will you get if you cross(杂交) a pigeon with a parrot?
Answer: A bird which can stop and ask the way home!
56. What does the underlined phrase “give away” probably mean in the passage?
A. Hand out. B. Look into. C. Show off. D. Let out.
57. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Ancient people used to make money by flying pigeons.
B. The writer has collected many stories about the animals.
C. All the animals can go back home from far away places.
D. The writer knows exactly how animals’ homing instinct works.
58. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Animals and their Living Habits. B. A Good Way to Protect Animals.
C. A Special Skill of the Animals. D. All Kinds of Animals in Nature.
59. What can we infer from the passage?
A. We should learn from nature and make inventions.
B. We must stop the experiments on animals at once.
C. We have already known everything well in nature.
D. We still need to make clear some secrets of nature.

Tina was the best speed-walker in our school. But I could never understand her habit of cheering while we were walking in the race.
We walked together all over the town and entered half-marathons, 26 miles. She gave me a cheering list to “talk” to me. I carried it to the starting line along. 60 But I wasn’t really planning to slow myself down with all those ideas. I had to keep her list because I didn’t want to hurt Tina’s feelings.
I walked the first mile of the race in 12 minutes. I looked at Tina’s cheering list when I checked my watch. 61 I though it did give me a good start to the race. While I was at it, I took the chance to thank her for the strength the list brought to me. By the time I finished the second mile, my parents were cheering me on by the side of the road. 62 At that moment, I had plenty of things to be grateful for.
The next mile flew by, then the next and the next, each with a cheering idea. But by the time I neared the final mile, I was nearly out of breath. I didn’t know if I could make it another mile. 63
I finished the marathon in less than six hours. I had thought the cheering list would slow me down. Instead it carried me to cross the finishing line.
A. Then I looked at the final idea on Tina’s list in my hand: “You can make it.”
B. It just so happened that “family” was the next on Tina’s cheering list.
C. In the end I threw away the cheering list that Tina gave me.
D. It had twenty-six cheering ideas, one for each mile.
E. At the top of the list was only one word: “Yourself.”

Steven is in the ninth grade now. He likes doing projects at school. Two years ago，he made a digital programme for the traffic system. After getting the prize, he got the advice from his father: “Do what interests you, and make sure you put your heart into it.”
Steven always prefers the projects which connect to our real life! He still remembers the project he has done. First of all, he tried to divide the whole project into several small parts. He usually gave himself some basic ideas after thinking them over and over again. When he met with some problems that he couldn’t work out by himself, he us ed to go to the teachers’ office and ask his teachers for help. At the beginning of his research such a question “How do I do it?” often came to his mind. As he kept on studying and discussing with his teachers, those “how” questions soon turned into another type: “What if I do this and that way?”
It took Steven more than four days to write the code(编码) on his computer. The desire(愿望) to solve the problems made him not get to sleep all nights. When he found his project going well, he jumped with joy. The last day of his work got deeply impressed(印象) in his mind. He went into trouble and didn’t know what to do next. At the moment, he noticed a man with headphones dancing while he was cleaning the room. This encouraged him to work on his project. He made good success at last.
Now Steven feels very proud of his projects and tries to do more projects at school.
64. Is Steven at school?
65. Who gave him the advice?
66. How did he begin to do the project?
67. What did Steven do when he got into trouble?
68. What can we learn from Steven according to the passage?
