One day, Kelly’s father invited her to visit a marine park with him. When they entered the ocean, the beauty of the underwater world surprised Kelly. Hundreds of kinds of colourful fishes were swimming around her.
Kelly saw how the plants and animals of the coral reef (珊瑚礁) lived together perfectly. She took many pictures
with her father’s underwater camera. It was the most exciting experience of her life.
As they left the water, Kelly and her father heard a loud noise. They turned around and saw several speedboats filled with tourists racing towards the reef area.

Back in Belize City, Kelly spoke to her class about coral reefs, “Coral reefs are an important part of our ocean, but many of them around the world were dying from pollution and overfishing. My father taught me that coral reefs keep our shores safe from powerful waves.”
When she got home, Kelly put up a post on the Internet. It read: The ocean is calling. Please help the ocean’s coral reefs. Keep them safe and healthy for everyone.

Have you ever heard Auld Lang Syne? “Auld Lang Syne” means, in English, “old days gone by”. People in Britain usually sing this song at parties and most famously on New Year’s Eve.
Auld Lang Syne was actually a poem written by Robert Burns in Scottish in 1788. Robert Burns was born in Scotland in 1759 to a poor family on the farm. His family often had nothing to eat. He had little education and taught himself through self-study. Even from an early age, Burns began to show his writing talent.
His first collection of poems came out when he was 27, which earned him four hundred dollars, a large sum of money at that time. When the French Revolution (革命), he supported the revolution and in 1792 he sent four small guns to Paris. He further expressed his support by writing a number of poems. In these poems Burns called on people
to fight for a happy life in the future. During the last 9 years of his life, Burns did a great deal of work in collecting and editing traditional Scottish songs. He refused to accept any pay, although he was in bad need of money. He continued the work until he died on 21 July, 1796.
He wrote poems in the tradition of Scottish folk songs. Many Burns’ works are of love and friendship. Much of the effect for Burns’ works of art was gathered from his surroundings—the places he travelled to, the culture and the people he loved at that time. His poems speak straight from the heart of a farmer to express the common feelings of millions of working people in simplest words. One of his world-famous works is A Red, Red (1794).
He is still remembered as Scotland’s national poet, more than 250 years after his death. A national Burns Night is held in Scotland and in other places throughout the world every year on his birthday, 25 January.
30. What is Auld Lang Syne?
A. An old saying in English. B. A poem written in Scottish.
C. An expression to explain time. D. A song created on New Year’s Eve.
31. In what order did Robert Burns do the following?
a. Wrote Auld Lang Syne.
b. Published his first collection of poems.
c. Sent small guns to support the French Revolution.
d. Began to collect and edit traditional Scottish songs.
A. b-d-a-c B. a-c-b-d C. b-c-d-a D. a-b-c-d
32. What made Robert Burns a national poet?
A. The love he showed for poem writing.
B. The culture he created for the New Year.
C. The achievement he made in Scottish literature.
D. The spirit he developed in the French Revolution.
33. In which book may people find this passage?
