Once upon a time，a hippo （河马）lived in a river next to a big tree．
One day，a bird came and nested （筑巢）in the tree．The songs of the bird filled the hippo with so much envy （羡慕）that he couldn’t think of anything else．Every day he would think why he wasn’t born to be a bird even though the bird told him many times he was so lucky to be so big and such a good swimmer．
Finally，the hippo made up his mind that he would come out of the river，climb the tree and start singing．However，when he tried to climb the tree，it was very clear that the hippo didn’t have wings，nor claws to climb with．
Realizing that he would never climb up the tree，he angrily hit the tree until it came crashing to the ground．Then he stepped onto the leaves of the fallen tree，and began singing．

Have you ever been sad because you failed in something? If so, please remember, for often, achieving what you expect not the most important thing. Here is a story to tell you why.

One day, a little boy, Paul decided to dig a hole behind his house after watching a science program. As Paul was working, a couple of boys stopped by to watch. “What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors. “I want to dig a deep hole all the way through the earth!” Paul answered excitedly. The other boys began to laugh, telling him that it was impossible to do it. Then they left.

But Paul kept on digging and digging. Suddenly, a few small colorful stones caught his eyes. He collected them and put them into a glass jar patiently. Humming a song, he went on digging. The jar was full soon. Then Paul talked to himself calmly and proudly “Maybe I can’t finish digging all the way through the earth, but look at what I have in the process of digging!”

Maybe Paul’s goal was too difficult, but it did cause him to go on.

Not every goal will be achieved. Not every job will end up with a success. Not every dream will come true. But when you can’t achieve your goal, maybe you can say “Yes, but look at what I’ve found along the way! There are so many wonderful things that have come into my life because I tried to do something!” It is in the digging that life is lived. It is the unexpected joy on the journey that really has a meaning.

26. What did Paul do after watching a program?

A．He bought a glass jar.	B．He played with visitors.
C．He fixed up a fly-bike.	D．He started to dig a hole.

27. What did the other boys think of Paul?

A．Smart.	B．Strict.
C．Silly.	D．Strong-minded.

28. When did Paul find the stones?

A．Before he met the other boys.	B．When he wanted to give up.
C．After other boys laughed at him.	D．When he wanted to have a rest.

29. According to the passage, what does the sentence “It is in the digging that life is lived.” mean?

A．Life is to make a big success.	B．Life is on the way to the goal.
C．Life is to find colorful stones.	D．Life is full of much difficulties.

30. What can be a suitable title for the passage?

A．How to achieve goals	B．Enjoying the process
C．A journey through the earth	D．A clever boy digging a hole

Many of you have probably had this experience: You get on a train and are ready to take a nap or read a book, only to find that the passenger in front of you is watching a TV show on his tablet without headphones. The child next to you won’t stop crying. And the old lady behind you talks on her phone during the whole trip.

Wish the train could be less noisy? There might be a solution for you. The Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, one of China’s busiest high-speed rail lines, have had “quiet” carriages starting since Dec 23, 2020.

In quiet carriages, on board videos are muted (静音) and announcements are made at a lower volume (音量). Doors at the ends of the carriage are kept closed to reduce noise from other carriages. Train attendants (乘务员) are responsible for making sure that passengers remain quiet and follow the rules.

Passengers who are willing to obey the rules can choose the quiet carriages when booking their tickets, according to China’s national railway operator.

Some people have pointed out that this kind of quiet environment should be offered in all carriages. They say that having quiet carriages might give people the impression that they don’t need to be quiet in non-quiet carriages.

Quiet carriages might be more enjoyable. While some internet users are in favor of the new service, it has also sparked discussion about just how quiet travelers should be in quiet carriages. Many people have raised questions such as “What if I snore (打呼噜)?” and “Can we talk to our travel companions if we need to?”

31. Para. 1 is written to show that _________.

A．people do all kinds of things on trains	B．people watch TV shows on trains
C．traveling by train is very common	D．people on trains are never very noisy

32. Para. 2 mainly tells that to keep the train _________.

A．much busier is in Shanghai	B．less noisy is possible in China
C．quiet stared before Dec 23, 2020	D．fastest has achieved in Beijing

33. From Para. 3, how do quiet carriages work?

A．The doors of these carriages stay closed.

B．No one makes sure passengers follow the rules.

C．Passengers aren’t allowed to watch videos.

D．Train attendants don’t make any announcements.

34. Which of the following best explains “in favor of” underlined in the last para?

A．in need of	B．in place of
C．in search of	D．in support of

35. What do we know about quiet carriages from the last paragraph?

A．The rules should be made much clearer.	B．Most people don’t like the service at all.
C．The service is better for solo (单) travelers.	D．It’s hard to make trains perfectly quiet.
