Even if Myra did not come, she would send a present. The old lady was sure of that. She was excitedlike a child. The little boy, Johnnie, said he wouldnt go out to play until the post came. I guess youll get lots of presents, he said, I did when I was six.What would she get? Perhaps a new sweater. Emm, blue is such a pretty color. Or a book, a travel book, with pictures, or a little clock, with clear black numbers.Finally, the postman turned round the corner on his bicycle. Johnnie ran to him at once. Granny, he shouted, Ive got your post. Just post ? No parcel (包裹), Johnnie? Her heart beat fast.No, granny. Maybe the parcel was pretty large to come by letter post. It would come later by parcel post. You must be patient.She tore the envelope open. It was a card with a message under the printed Happy BirthdayBuy yourself something nice with the check, Myra.A big number is in the check!

I looked at him, without knowing what was happening.He was a doctor who gave speeches at colleges and had visited more than 100 countries. He understood better than I why a plane can fly in the sky. It, really, wasnt magic. But now, I realize he was at least right in some way.Though flying might not be magic, its certainly magical. What it brings to our real lives is something found in our dreams.But too often, we, especially I forget. I read a sentence a few months ago. It said, “You know youre growing-up when you no longer want a window seat.”Too often in recent years, Ive asked for a seat near the exit row, forgetting the wonders of traveling fast. But sometimes, when the Wi-Fis not working or my computer has no power, I remember to look.I think of one time when I was leaving on a family vacation. Moments after take-off, I started working. But a passenger behind me wouldnt stop talking. “The clouds!” he kept saying, “Look at the clouds!”I turned around, and saw two men, one who appeared to be in his seventies and the other much younger. The chat continued for 20 minutes until, not patiently, I raised my eyes from my computer screen and looked out of the window.The clouds!He was right. We were floating through big soft balls of cotton, each in different shapes. They seemed easy enough to touch. The afternoon sun provided all kinds of colors, all against a blue sky. I put away my computer and appreciated(欣赏)them for the rest of the flight.I dont remember the work I felt like I had to complete that afternoon. Ive never forgotten those clouds.35 .

How did the writer feel first when he listened to the chat for 20 minutes?AUnhappy.BExcited.CInterested.DNervous.38 . Which of the following is probably the best title for the passage?AIs it a wonder?BIs it magic?CWhat soft clouds!DWhat a strange flight!Animals, including insects, dont have a language like ours. They do not talk to each other in words and sentences. But if we watch them, we can see that they do have their ways of communicating with each other.Can you see the rabbits tail? When rabbits see this white tail moving up and down, they run away. They know that they are in danger. The rabbit has told them something without making a sound. It has given them a signal.Many other animals use this kind of language. When a cobra is angry, it raises its head and makes itself look fierce. This warns other animals. When a bee has found food, it goes back to its home. It cannot tell the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it does a little dance. This tells the bees where the food is.Some animals say things by making sound. A dog barks, for example, when a stranger comes near. A cat purrs when it is pleased. Some birds make several different sounds, each with its own meaning. Sometimes we human beings speak in the same way. We make sound like Oh or Ah when we are frightened or pleased or when we drop something on our toes.39 .
