up into the air. more and more of the small, furry creatures appear. within a few minutes, a whole river of bats is pouring out of the cave, and they keep coming, millions and millions of them.sound like a scary horror movie? believe it or not, this scene takes place every night, all summer long, at bracken cave in texas, where 20 million bats fly outside to feed on insects. “it is magical，” says jim kennedy of bat conservation international in austin texas. “it is one of the most majestic animal movements on the planet.”every march or april, mexican freetailed bats migrate up to 1，000 miles (1，609 kilometers) from their winter home in mexico to this cave, where they raise their young. soon after they arrive, each mother gives birth to one pup. as many as 500 baby bats live crammed into one square foot (30.48 cubic centimeters) of space, all those bodies create nice warm temperatures to keep them cozy and comfortable. if youve ever lost sight of your parents on a crowded playground, you may be wondering how mother bats recognize their children. they use their sense of smell to tell which pup is theirs when it is time for the babies to nurse.the cave, a quiet place in winter, is full with life all summerand not just with bat residents. bat waste soon covers the floor, providing food for tiny organisms(生物体) like bacteria and fungi(真菌). and then there are the bugs.when the adult bats leave the cave at night to feed, they are helping humans. they eat tons of insects in a single night, including many pests that eat farmers crops. and they get rid of mosquitoes, too.36in the first paragraph, the author _aprovides some information about bats bdescribes the movement of batscadvises the reader to watch bats dstresses the danger of bats in summer37which of the following is true about the bats?athey are well protected by farmers. bthey smell better than other animals.cthey benefit from some tiny organisms. dthey travel from mexico to america yearly.38from the second paragraph, we can know kennedys opinion of the bats flying in group is _amysterious bfrightful ccrazy denjoyablebin shanghais grand theater, a fashionable, mainly young audience applauds enthusiastically as guo yong takes center stage. he holds a large bushy tree branch with leaves. blowing on one of the leaves, he produces a sound like the singing of birds as he plays a traditional buyi folk song. some other musicians are also playing the traditional instruments from various ethnic groups in china.its the first time such music has ever been performed in the grand theater. but all this is the efforts of zhu zheqin, a cantoneseborn singer, who has made it her mission to help preserve chinas traditional ethnic music.in 2009, after being appointed a united nations development program ambassador, zhu traveled through some of chinas remotest regions in an attempt to document the traditional music of various minority groups. in the course of the fourmonth trip, she recorded more than a thousand songs. but she noticed that many of the best musicians were old, and some of the music was at risk of dying out.“i was shocked by the beauty of what i heardit was so good，” she says. “but it needed support. i hope to let people see the beauty of these things in the contemporary times.”so zhu decided to introduce some of the musicians to a wider audience. by doing this, she hopes to rekindle(点燃) the interest of the younger generation. “young people dont like this music much; they prefer pop music and love songs. they think these songs are something their grandma sings. this kind of repackaging gives young people a new door into their heritage.”zhu believes china needs to look again at its own roots. “china today is basically all western art; in our conservatories (音乐学院) western classical music is the top，” she says. “for china to really contribute to the world, we need to go on our own path. so what can represent china today？” the answer, she suggests, is to move from “made in china” to “created in china”39from the first paragraph, we learn that_athe audience are all young peoplebguo yong is playing the buyi folk musiccguo yong is the only minority performer in chinadtree branches make good musical instruments40which of the following is true of zhu zheqin?ashe teaches music in a conservatory.bshe is helping preserve chinese ethnic music.cshe works as an official in the united nations.dshes created all the music for the grand theater.cchengdu, sichuanher training as a ballet dancer has served tian yu well in her bid to be a top equestrian(骑手)“i have learned how to balance myself，” said the 16yearold.a member of the national youth equestrian team, tian won a bronze in the jumping challenge at a youth event of the international federation for equestrian sports in south korea in april.a month later, she won a gold in the jumping challenge at the international equestrian masters in the national stadium in beijing.tian is conspicuous (引人注意的) at events because there are not many woman equestrian athletes in the countrymany parents do not want their daughters, mostly only children, to get involved and the practice is not covered by any insurance.“to be an equestrian, a woman has to be strong, be patient and work harder than a male counterpart，” tian said.because of her studies at the beijing national day school, a staterun middle school, tian can only practice about twice a week after school. during summer and winter vacations, she practices in the jingcheng horse club in beijings daxing district every day, even on biting cold winter days. last winter, the skin on the back of her hands cracked and became infected because of the cold, but she did not stop training. even during the spring festival she only took one day off. training can be repetitious and boring, and each day tian has to ride between four and six horses.she became interested in horses at the age of four when she visited a horse club in a beijing suburb and with the help of a coach sat on a horse and rode. she started formal training at age eight.though she has rarely fallen, her worst accident was when she tumbled(翻动) while practicing on a course in hebei province. lying on the field, she lost consciousness for about 20 seconds and bloodied her right hand. when she came to, instead of crying she stood up without the help of her coach, ji yuping.“unlike other girls, tian is strongminded，” ji said.equestrian athletes in the country do not receive much education. but tian insists she should attend college and major in literature or english.despite frequent competitions, tian has distinguished herself as a top student.the principal of her school allows tian to finish her schoolwork and send it to teachers via the internet when she is away for a competition.“i like horse riding but wont make it my profession，” tian said.43which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?atian achieved a gold medal at the international equestrian masters.btian won a bronze in the jumping challenge in beijing.ctian has been interested in horses since the age of four.da woman equestrian should be strong, patient and hardworking.44what can we infer from the ninth paragraph?atian was badly hurt. btian lost consciousness.ctian is very strong and brave. dtians coach helped her.45what can we learn from the thirteenth paragraph?atians headmaster and teachers all support her.btian often hands in her homework by the internet.ctian finishes her homework by the internet.dtian cant finish her homework because of her competition.das a boy growing up in india，i had longed to travel abroad. i used to listen to the stories my father would tell me about his stay in canada and tours to europe in the 1970s，with great interest.my big moment finally came in the summer of 1998 when i was able to accompany my parents to europe，where my father was to attend a meeting. we planned to travel to belgium，netherlands and west germany.i have vivid memories even today of going to mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going abroad. i had heard several great things about lufthansa till then but now i finally got to experience them first hand，during the flight to frankfurt. we flew business class and even today i can remember the excellent service by the lufthansa crew. the flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable，even for someone like me，who is otherwise scared of flying.after spending almost two weeks in europe，we took the lufthansa airport express from dusseldorf to frankfurt airport，for our return flight. what a journey that was! all along the rhine (莱茵河)，it was simply an unforgettable experience. i was in a sombre mood on the flight back to mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation，but the lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again，with the quality of their service.being the first airline to take me overseas，lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart. even today，i continue to enjoy flights on lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline. flying，in general，for me，has always been an ordeal (terrible and painful experience). flying on lufthansa，however，is something i always have and always will look forward to.46which country does the author live

nap habitor continuing to make time for oneis a smart, healthy move. consider the evidence: the mayo clinic says naps promote relaxation, reduce tiredness, better mood and recover alertness (机敏). a 2010 british study found that compared to getting more nighttime sleep or drinking more coffee, a midday nap was the best way to cope with the midafternoon slump (萎靡)the harvard health letter says that several studies have shown that people remember new information better when they take a nap shortly after learning it. and, unbelievably, a 2007 study of nearly 24，000 greek adults in the archives of internal medicine found that people who napped regularly had a 37 percent reduced risk of dying from heart disease compared to people who didnt nap. to get the most out of your rest, follow these tips.how long to sleep: naps provide different benefits depending on how long they are, says mentalf. a 20minute nap will promote alertness and concentration; a 90minute nap which includes deeper stages of sleep, can strengthen creativity. the danger zone is when youre somewhere in between, because waking up in the middle of a sleep cycle can lead to sleep inertia(惯性). so stick to 20 or 90 minutes for maximum benefits. if you wake up from a nap feeling confused or more tired, its likely that your timing was just off.what time to sleep: p says that you experience a natural dip in body temperature (the same kind that makes you feel sleepy at night) between 1 pm. and 3 pm. a power nap at this time can promote alertness for several hours and, for most people, wont affect being able to fall asleep at night.how to get comfortable: mentalf says it takes about 50 percent longer to fall asleep sitting up than lying down. (thats why we sleep so poorly on planes and trains！) pick a dark, cozy place thats not too warm or too chilly. p recommends napping on the couch instead of in bed, so you wont snooze for too long. surprisingly, the best place to sleep may be a hammock (吊床) if you have one. a swiss study published last year found that people fell asleep faster and had deeper sleep when they napped in a hammock than in a bed. that same rocking motion that causes babies to sleep works wonders for grownups，too.consider a “caffeine nap”： it sounds strange, but drinking coffee right before a nap may be the perfect aid for maximum alertness. since caffeine takes 20 to 30 minutes to take full effect, youll feel even more alert after your 20minute nap.title：how to take a napfindingits good for you to form the 51._of taking
