hawaii.when we arrived at haleakala national park, we were suggested to watch the early morning sunrise. i was lost in the sightseeing that afternoon, so i could hardly wait to meet the sunrise. in the next morning, we all jumped out of the bed very early at 3 oclock and walked to the rocks by the seaside. in the first half an hour, we imagined how wonderful it would be when the first light came out through the thick clouds and how soft it would be when the light touched our skin, so we waited and waited. however, another half an hour later, i gradually lost my patience since there was nothing but the chilly darkness, and i felt that i was frozen to death. but my friends were still extremely cheerful.nearly another one hour later, “amazing!”, a word burst out from judy and we all shouted to welcome the light orange greatness, which is really unbelievable. until today, i dare say that it is the most impressive sunrise in my life. however, waiting in the morning darkness is also the one i can not wipe out forever. waiting sometimes is really a hard thing for most of us as it needs patience and strong-willed determination, but what about the result after that? it might turn out to be pleased, unbelievable and satisfied. so, it is really worthwhile to wait for the best. 25. what can we learn from the passage?a. the trip to hawaii was boring.b. hawaii is the best place to enjoy the most gorgeous sunrise.c. waiting doesnt need patience or determination.d. sometimes, it is worthwhile to wait for the best.26. whats the meaning of the underlined word “chilly” in paragraph two?a. cold. b. calm. c. hopeful. d. peaceful.27. whats the authors attitude towards waiting for the sunrise?a. excited all the time. b disappointed all the time.c. firstly excited then impatient. d. firstly disappointed then patient. ccan dogs and cats get along well in the same home? people who are thinking about getting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. a recent research has found that if the cat is taken back home before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. in two-thirds of the homes cats and dogs have a good relationship.however, it wasnt all sweetness and light. there was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression (侵犯，攻击) and fighting were found in 10% of the homes. one reason for this is probably that some of their body languages are just different. for example, when a cat turns its head away it means aggression, while a dog doing the same means submission (顺从).in homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers found a surprising behavior. they are learning how to talk each others language. it is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “cat”.whats interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to become smarter. they can learn to read each others body languages, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was expected. once familiar with each others body language, cats and dogs can play together, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa.the importance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets to people who dont get along well, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even countries. if cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.28. the underlined word “swimmingly” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _.a. badly b. hardly c. poorly d. smoothly29. some cats and dogs may fight when _.a. they are cold to each otherb. they look away from each otherc. they are introduced at an early aged. they misunderstand each others body languages30. it is suggested in paragraph 4 that cats and dogs _.a. have common interests b. have a common body languagec. are less different than was thought d. are not so smart as was expected31. what can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?a. we should know more about animals.b. we should live in peace with animals.c. we should learn more body languages.d. we should learn to get along well with others.da new book called “battle hymn of the tiger mother” by amy chua has caused a debate (争论) about cultural differences in parenting. amy chua is a teacher in an american university and both of her parents
