4. Close your eyes for a moment. Imagine you are deep in a forest. Hear the frogs croaking, the crickets chirping and the songbirds calling. In the distance, you sense a waterfall coming into a river,which flows right past you. As you listen to the sounds of nature, a peaceful, relaxing feeling washes over you. This is the power of the natural world, and it's exactly what field recordists record with their equipment.
Field recordists gather natural sounds using complex instruments that are able to imitate the way the human ear senses them. A German field recordist named Carina Pesch said, “So, you don't only have left and right. You have up and down and front and back. It really takes you into the place.” Pesch is one of a growing number of people who have taken up field recording. Some of them do it as a full-time job, and others participate in it more on a part-
time basis. The recordings are used in movies or put online, often as videos with images of forests and other beautiful scenery.
To gather the best sounds, the top field recordists set up two microphones. They may use a “dummy head". T hat is a man-made head shaped like a human's. The microphones are placed in the ears of the head. This method effectively imitates the way people naturally hear. Indeed, the recordings of nature sound so real that they can reduce mental and physical stress because it's easy for listeners to believe they are outdoors surrounded by the wonders of nature.
（1）What is Carina Pesch's job?
A Making movies about nature.
B Studying how human ears work.
C Recording the sounds of nature.
D Exploring the natural environment.
（2）What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A Field recording began in Germany.
B Field recording is getting more
popular. C Part-time recordists are rare in the business. D Recordists use instruments to imitate nature.
（3）What is the "dummy head" used for?
A Reducing the recordists' physical stress.
B Allowing the recordists to stay
indoors. C Testing whether the microphones work. D Imitating the way people naturally hear.
5. Last fall,my dad and I visited Kindred Spirit Elephant Sanctuary,which is located in the mountains of Northern Thailand. Although our stay was short, it turned out to be the most memorable part of our holiday.
Upon arrival,we headed to the base to learn about the elephants that were in the care.The eldest,Too Meh, had spent much of her life giving tourists rides with a heavy iron seat tied to her back.Her daughter,Mae Doom,and grandsons,Dodo and Gen Thong,had also spent years in chains doing hard work to entertain tourists. It broke our hearts to hear their sad stories. Early the next morning, we saw Too Meh and Mae Doom exploring the forest and Dodo playing by the river. Seeing them free was a heartwarming experience. Kindred Spirit Elephant Sanctuary was founded with the goal of protecting the welfare of elephants, and that is why this place does not offer elephant rides or elephant performances of any kind. Instead, it tries to educate visitors about these amazing animals.
But we did more than just get to know the elephants. We also cooked and ate together with our host family, learned about the language of the local people, and helped teach English to the children in the village. In doing these activities, we were able to experience the local customs and culture firsthand.By providing such opportunities for visitors, the place gives back to the village by helping the villagers make more money and learn English. It's a win-win situation.
If you want to see elephants in their natural environment,Kindred Spirit Elephant Sanctuary is the nice place to go. It's an experience you won't forget.
（1）What can we learn about Too Meh?
A She lived through hard times.

10. Last weekend my best friend and I went to Taiyuan Botanical Garden, which is located in Jinyuan District and we got there by
bus.
The garden, which opened just a few months ago, has seen a large number of enthusiastic visitors. As you can imagine, it
was crowded and noisy. But what we saw there was so amazing that it left a deep impression on us. We had a chance to
appreciate butterfly specimens, trees and flowers, ranging from various insects to rare tropical plants. Undoubtedly, we were
totally absorbed in taking wonderful pictures and making short videos, trying to capture the precious moments.
All in all, both of us had a great time in Taiyuan Botanical Garden and I was looking forward to visiting it again.。
