Mt. Kinabalu Botanical Garden is one of the biggest attractions at the park, which started in 1981.

"Your homework is to collect sounds and take them down," Mrs. Olson said before class was over. She handed out sheets of paper shaped like giant ears.

On his way home, Colin glared out the school-bus window. Not fair, he thought. How could he collect enough sounds on his family's farm? If only he lived in the town.

He got off the bus when it stopped at his mailbox. But he wasn't in the mood to wave[as it drove away.

"I’m home！”Colin called when he pushed open the gate. He threw his schoolbag down on a kitchen chair.

"How was school?" His mother asked, walking in with his baby brother on her shoulder.

"I’ve got homework," Colin complained.

"Eat something before doing your chores." His mother gave him the animal biscuits. Colin ate two tigers, three lions, and a seal, then drank some milk.

Astrid, Colin's dog, woofed as Colin walked toward the barn（谷仓）．Her young dogs were yipping. Colin placed dog food into their pan. In the chicken house, Colin hurried two hens from their nests．He put their warm eggs into his jacket. The black cow napped in the sun. Colin woke her when he poured corn into her pan. "Moo, thank you！”she seemed to say.

Colin put the eggs in the kitchen, then climbed to his tree house as usual. He could see Dad's beehives（蜂箱）by the field. Six hives usually meant plenty of humming noise. But today he couldn't hear it over the chattering sound of the sparrows，How could a person think?

"QUIET！”Colin shouted.

Suddenly, he sat up straight. Cows mooed and young dogs yipped. Chickens crackled in their yard. When Astrid began woofing below, Colin smiled broadly. "I hear you！”he called. He hurried down from the tree.

24．Why did Colin wish he lived in the town?

A. Because living on the farm was boring.

B .Because people were treated fairly there.

C .Because the town was near his school.

D .Because collecting sounds would be easier.

25．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 7 refer to?

A. Doing his homework.

B. Helping with farm work.

C. Playing with animals.

D. Babysitting his brother.

26. How many animal sounds are mentioned in the text?[KS5UKS5UKS5U]

A. 4. B．5． C. 6. D. 7.

27. What will Colin most probably do next?

A. Walk Astrid. B. Gather honey.

For thousands of years, people thought of glass as something beautiful to look at. Only recently have they come to think of it as something to look through. Stores display their goods in large glass windows. Glass bottles and jars that hold food and drink allow us to see the contents. Glass is used to make eyeglasses, microscopes, telescopes, and many other extremely useful and necessary objects.

Until the Second World War, most of the glass used for optical(光学的) instruments was imported from Europe. However, during the war Americans could not get European glass, and they were forced to make their own. Therefore, new kinds of glasses were developed that had been previously unknown. These new effects were achieved by mixing other chemical elements with the sand. Some of these new glasses are very strong and can resist many kinds of shocks. Legend has it that a very hard glass was invented by a Roman who showed his discovery to the Emperor. When the Emperor saw the glass he feared that it would become more valuable than gold and sliver, making his treasure worthless. Therefore, he had the glassmaker killed, and the secret was not discovered again for hundreds of years.

In the present century, safety glass was invented for use in modern cars and planes. Safety glass is made by placing a layer of plastic between two layers of plate glass. When the outside layer of glass is broken, the pieces do not scatter(散开) and injure people. Some glass of the type is strong enough to resist bullets(子弹).

Although nowadays plastics have replaced glass under conditions where glass might be easily broken, there are new uses being developed, for the greatest advantage of glass is that its component(组成的) parts are inexpensive and can be found all over the world.

28. As time goes by, glass _________.

A. is regarded as transparent(透明的)

B. is used to make things look pleasant

C. is seen as more than decoration

D. is widely used to replace steel in making containers

29. Why did Americans make their own glass during the Second World War?

A. The war blocked the way of glass import.

B. The glas
