At lunch, Marty was going on about how he could make things _15_. He had a ring in one hand and a pencil in the other.Thats when I _16_ it: a thin piece of fishing line around the end of the pencil and attached (连接) to Martys shirt! Sure enough, he made it by sliding (滑动) the ring over the pencil and hanging it from the line. No one else _17_ the line, and soon the whole dining hall was cheering. When the crowds were gone, I walked over. It was time to _18_ the Magic Marty show.“I know how you did it,” I said, looking him right in the eye. “_19_,” Marty replied. “But the first law of magic is that”“It was the fishing line.”Marty became _20_. He looked a bit worried. Without all his confidence, he seemed more normal (平常). I suddenly felt bad.“So are you going to tell other people?” he asked. I thought about it for a moment. If I did, I would _21_ be able to prove that Martys magic was fake. But would that really make me feel happy? What about Marty? He might _22_ his new friends. How would that make him feel?“Nah,” I said. “It will be a _23_ between you and me.”Marty let out a relieved sigh, and I turned to walk away.“Wait!” Marty jumped in front of me. “Youve got a pretty good eye for magic. If you re _24_, I have an idea.”Thats how the Magic Marty and Mysterious Matt Lunch Show began.15. A. disappearB. growC. floatD. change16. A. sawB. heardC. feltD. smelt17.

Through the window of the candy shop I could see tubes of colorful jelly beans. A sign on the windows glass read LOST: Gold and blue necklace. Verry special. If found, call Chrissy at 555-9924.Chrissy had drawn a crayon version of the necklace at the bottom of the poster and a border made of orange exclamation points.The necklace looked different from the one I clutched (紧握) in my pocket, I decided. Rounder, bluer. The poster appeared old and weathered. It must have been put up months ago.“Hey,” Sam asked, “are you coming with me?”We continued to walk, and I noticed four more posters. Someone must have returned that necklace by now, I thought.Once home, I placed the necklace into my old yellow retainer box. Id cleaned it out and made it my special place for special things. So far, it held twin miniature seashells, a pebble that looked exactly like a birds egg, and 11 half-burnt birthday candles.I looked at the stone, so clean and polished. Could it be Chrissys? Was it her “very special” necklace?“Uncle Coop,” I called, “would you take me to the store?”We went into town together and stopped at Luanns. Uncle Coop let me borrow his cell phone to call the number on the poster.“Hello?” said a girls voice after one ring.“Hi,” I said, . “Is this Chrissy?”“Yes.”“Um, my name is Ryan. I think I may have something that belongs to you.”“My necklace?”Fifteen minutes later, I was sitting at a table across from Chrissy. We were drinking milkshakes and sharing an order of sweet-potato fries while Uncle Coop and Chrissys dad drank coffee at the counter.“It was a gift from my mom,” she said, “before she got sick.”Chrissy looked down at the blue stone in her hand.“Im really sorry,” I said. “Holding on to it somehow makes things a little better,” she said. “Do you know what I mean?”I thought about the mean kids at school and how holding on to beautiful things often made me feel better.I nodded. “I think I do.”31. Which word is the most suitable for ?A. patientB. excitedC. nervousD. relaxed32. What can we infer from the passage about the necklace?A Chrissy had lost it in the candy shop.B. Ryan and Sam found it together.C. Chrissys mother bought it long ago.D. Ryan wanted to keep it at first.33. Which is the best title for this story?A. An Honest GirlB. Lost and FoundC. An Important GiftD. Family and LoveDPet parrots that are allowed to make video calls to other birds show signs of feeling less isolated, according to scientists.The study, which involved giving the birds a computer that they could use to make video calls, found that they began to engage in more social behaviors including preening, singing and playing. The birds were given a choice of which “friend” to call on a touchscreen computer and the study showed that the parrots that called other birds most often were the most popular choices.Ilyena Hirskyj-Douglas, of the University of Glasgow and a co-author of the study, said that video calls had helped many people feel less isolated in the last few years. She added, “There are 20 million parrots living in peoples homes in the USA, and we wanted to explore whether those birds might benefit (受益) from video calling too. If we gave them the chance to call other parrots, would they choose to do so, and would the experience benefit the parrots and their caregivers?”Their study of 18 pet parrots suggested that there were, indeed, benefits for the birds. In the wild, many species of parrots live in large groups, but as pets they are, kept alone or in a small group. Living alone can cause birds, to develop mental problems, which include rocking, walking back and forth, or self-harming behaviors such as feather-plucking.The parrots first learned to ring a bell and then touch a photo of another bird on the screen of a computer to make a call to that bird, with the help of their owners. In total the birds made 147 calls to each other during the study, while owners took detailed notes on the birds behavior and the researchers later reviewed the video footage.Jennifer Cunha of Northeastern University said that the parrots “seemed to know” that they were communicating with other birds. “All the bird owners in the study said they valued the experience, and would want to continue using the system with their parrots in the future,” she said.“I was quite surprised at so many different behaviors,” said Hirskyj-Douglas. “Some would sing, some would play around and go upside down, others would want to show another bird their toys.”34. The main purpose of the study is to find out _.A. if parrots can learn to make video callsB. if parrots can benefit from video callingC. why parrots can have so many benefitD. why parrots can develop mental problems35. What can we learn about the pet parrots?A. Their way to communicate is singing.B. Most of them used to live in large groups.C. The most popular ones made most calls.D. They can make video calls by themselves.36. Which word has the closest meaning to “isolated”?A. amazedB. calmC. scaredD. lonely37. The following paragraph can best go after _.Video calling could reproduce some of the social benefits of living in a group, according to Rbecca Kleinberger, of Northeastern University and first author of the study.A.
