I took a job at a vet(兽医)clinic almost five decades ago.As an enthusiastic animal lover,I accepted the position on the condition that I wouldn't have to assist with any wounded animals.I couldn't bear to see any creature in pain.
At the end of my first week,we were closing the office for the day when a young man ran up to us holding a severely injured Doberman pinscher puppy(杜宾幼犬)in his arms and begging us to save his life.The four-month-old pup had been hit by a car.
The doctor and I ran back into the operating room.The only place the skin was still attached to this poor little animal's body was around one shoulder.The vet worked tirelessly for what seemed like hours,sewing him back together again.That was the easy part.The puppy had broken multiple bones,including his spine(脊椎).If he survived the next few days,we were quite sure he would never walk.
That day forever changed my life.I became the vet's assistant in all things medical.One of my first jobs was to give that Doberman puppy daily physical therapy.I remember moving his tiny legs to try to keep his muscles from weakening.
Weeks went by until one day,I felt this little fighter push back ever so slightly.And he continued to push back till he could fall use his legs.
Fast-forward（快进）about a year.I walked into the clinic's crowded waiting room and called the name of the next client.Suddenly,a huge Doberman who had been sanding quietly with his owner on the opposite side of the room broke loose and dashed toward me.I found myself pinned against the wall with this magnificent dog standing on his hind legs,his front paws on my shoulders,washing my face with abundant and joyful kisses!
I still tear up in amazement at the display of love and gratitude the dog had for me that day all those years ago.

In2018,Pakistan promised to plant ten billion trees in an effort to slow climate change and to save a land that has been destroyed.
That program,whose name is10Billion Trees Tsunami,has been taking effect slowly for the past two years, but it recently has received unexpected help from the coronavirus(新冠病毒).Many Pakistanis are suddenly unemployed,so the government has given them jobs as tree-planters.Unemployed day laborers have been turned into"jungle workers",planting trees for500rupees a day($3).It's not much,but it can help the unemployed get by.
As the coronavirus struck Pakistan,the10Billion Trees campaign was halted as part of social distancing orders put in place to slow the spread of the virus.But earlier this month,the government allowed the forestry agency to restart the program and create more than63,600jobs.
The program is employing three times the number of planters as it normally does,and the planting season has been extended from May(its usual end)throughout June,in order to keep workers employed.All workers are being told to wear masks and keep two meters of distance from others.
Shahid Rashid Awan,project director for Punjab province,said the project hopes to reach50million trees this year.“We can absorb all the unemployed laborers and workers who have fled the cities and returned to their villages in the past few weeks.”
A study declared tree planting to be an effective way to store carbon,and if planted in large quantities around the globe,a powerful solution to climate change.While it won’t fix every climate-related problem we have,it can go a long way if done widely,which is exactly what Pakistan is trying to do with such impressive determination.
And the workers will benefit greatly,too.Not only are they able to earn money and support their families at a difficult time,but they’re outside in the fresh air,away from the potential health risks from more tightly-packed urban environments.It’s a brilliant idea that all country leaders should consider copying.
28.How does the coronavirus influence Pakistan?
A.A lot of animals are starving.
B.Many people are out of work.
C.Much land is left unmanaged.
D.The government has lost power.
29.Which of the following best explains"halted"underlined in Paragraph3?
A.Agreed.
B.Discussed.
C.Stopped.
D.Doubted.
30.Why is the project environmentally-friendly?
A.It has helped with employment.
B.It has persuaded people to plant trees in big cities.
C.Many laborers produce much less carbon dioxide.
D.It can contribute to fighting against climate change.
31.What does the author think of Pakistan's move?
A.It serves as a good example.
B.It is not fit for other countries.
C.It is a waste of time and money.
D.It brings many economic benefits.
D
The Mars2020rover（漫游者）(02W),which sets off for the Red Planet this year,will not only search for traces of ancient life,but pave the way for future human missions,NASA scientists said Friday as they introduced the vehicle.
The rover has been constructed in a large,sterile(无菌的）room at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, near Los Angeles,where its driving equipment was given its first successful test last week.
Shown to invited journalists on Friday,it is scheduled to leave Earth in July2020from Floridas Cape Canaveral,becoming the fifth US rover to land on Mars seven months later in February.
“It's designed to seek the signs of life,so we’re carrying a number of different instruments that will help us understand the geological and chemical context on the surface of Mars,”deputy mission leader Matt Wallace told AFP.
Among the devices on board the rover are23cameras,two“ears”that will allow it to listen to Martian winds, and lasers used for chemical analysis.
Approximately the size of a car,the rover is equipped with six wheels like the former US rover,Curiosity, allowing it to travel along rocky land.
Speed is not a priority（优先）for the vehicle,which only has to cover around200yards(180metres)per Martian day---approximately the same as a day on Earth.
Fuelled by a tiny nuclear reactor,Mars202(has seven-foot-long(2metres)articulated arms and a drill to crack open rock samples in locations scientists identify as potentially suitable for life.
We are hoping to move fairly quickly.We'd like to see the next mission launched in2026which will get to Mars and pick up the samples,put them into a rocket and finally bring them back to the Earth,"said Wallace. NASA’s Mars2020will remain active for at least one Martian year,which is around two years on Earth.
32.What’s the mission of the Mars2020rover(02W)?
A.Finding suitable landing sites
B.Searching and making preparations
C.Setting up research centers.
D.Constructing roads.
33.What can we know about the Mars2020rover?
A.It looks much like a car with six wheels.
B.It is an updated of the US rover Curiosity.
C.It is solar-powered and can crack open rock samples.
D.It is able to perform different tasks on Mars in search of the signs of life
34.If you search the passage on the website of China Daily,where can you probably find it?
A.Lifestyle B．Regional C．World D．Culture
35.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.The Mars2020rover has successfully passed its first driving test.
B.NASA is planning a new round of space exploration
C.Future human missions on Mars are on the way
D.A new rover will be launched to carry out scientific research on Mars

It’s a nightmare having to wait for exam results.36If you’re stressed out after taking your exams,don’t worry!There are some steps you can take to calm down and reduce your stress.
Take some deep breaths.Stress and anxiety can trigger your body’s“fight or flight”response,making your breaths shallow and rapid.37Put one hand on your chest and the other on your abdomen(腹部).As you breathe,you should feel your abdomen expand along with your chest.
Try not to go over the exam in depth straight afterwards.Some people find it comforting to talk to friends a little about what they wrote.However,it only makes you worry about the answers you can’t change.It is also a bad idea because your brain does not perform well under stressful conditions.You will be unable to think clearly right after a stressful exam.38
Get some exercise to relax.You might not feel like hitting the gym or going for a run directly after an exam, but getting some moderate physical activity is a great way to reduce stress!39If you’re stressed out over your exam,try doing exercise like jogging,cycling or even a quick walk.Regular exercise has been shown to decrease tension and improve your sleep.
40Regardless of your results,you should celebrate the fact that you have worked hard on your exams. Reward yourself by doing something you enjoy.If you can do it with friends,all the better.Studies have shown that spending time with friends and loved ones is an excellent way to relieve stress and promote a sense of calm and well-being.
A.Spend time with positive people.
B.Do something enjoyable to relax.
C.Fight this stress response by taking deep breaths.
D.You may feel like you perform much worse than you actually do.
.The situation will be worse if you’re not sure of your performance.
E
F.Whatever makes you laugh will help you sort out your post-exam stress.
