In our daily lives， we probably make silly mistakes. While these moments can be worrying， they can also be dealt with humor. When we share a laugh at our mistakes， we can calm ourselves down with a little bit understanding and acceptance.

When one morning in a rush to school， I spilled （潑洒） my cup of orange juice. I immediately thought of the valuable minutes I would have to spend in cleaning up the floor. I raced back and forth to the sink （洗碗槽） with a kitchen cloth soaked （浸透） with juice to wash off. My legs were shaking as I watched from my window the school bus coming to my street. Within a minute， I had thrown the orange-juice-soaked cloth to the sink and ran outside to join the group of kids in entering the bus. When thinking about my morning rush to clean up the spilled juice on the bus， I realized how much unnecessary stress and worry I put myself through. I ended up smiling to myself about my not-so-serious nervousness over spilled juice.

These days I dont usually spill orange juice， but I do sometimes spill a bit of spaghetti sauce on my pant or put on my sweater backwards when Im really tired and in a hurry for school. In each of my mistakes， I try to remind myself not to take myself so seriously. It takes me a minute to calm down， take a deep breath and smile at my carelessness. It is the ability to see mistakes in a different way that enables me to find humor in everyday moments.

Humor， however， doesnt always have to occur from silly mistakes. Kids may have a good laugh at comic books， classic jokes and stories told by friends and parents. What matters more is not where you find the humor in life， but that you can appreciate it.

24. What are you advised to do when you make silly mistakes？

A. Treat them humorously. B. Forget them in time.

C. Get to know the value of them. D. Try to enjoy ourselves.

25. What did the author do before going to school according to Paragraph 2？

A. He prepared breakfast busily. B. He had some clothes washed.

C. He made a cup of orange juice. D. He did some cleaning at home.

26. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 3？

A. He makes mistakes now and then. B. He tries to keep calm with humor.

C. He is busy every day. D. He always makes others happy.

27. What does the author want to tell us？

A. Silly mistakes make people nervous. B. It is natural for us to make mistakes.

C. We can be happy by enjoying humor. D. We should try to find humor.

With only about 1，000 pandas left in the world， China is badly trying to clone （克隆） the animal and save the endangered species. Thats a move similar to what a Texas A&M University researcher has been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “Noahs Ark”.

Noahs Ark is aimed at collecting eggs， embryos， semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. “If certain species should become extinct，” Dr Duane Kraemer says， “there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.”

It is estimated that as many as 2，000 species of mammals， birds and reptiles will become extinct over the next 100 years. The panda， native only to China， is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.

This week， Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.

The entire process could take from three to five years to complete.

“The nuclear transfer （核移植） of one species to another is not easy， and the lack of available panda eggs could be a major problem，” Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy （懷孕）. It takes a long time and its difficult， but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk， so it is worth the effort，” adds Kraemer， who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A&M， the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.

“They are trying to do something thats never been done， and this is very similar to our work in Noahs Ark. Were both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and theres a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. Its research that is very much needed.”

28. What is the aim of “Noahs Ark” project？

A. To save endangered animals from dying out.

B. To collect DNA of endangered animals to study.

C. To transfer the nuclear of one animal to another.

D. To make efforts to clone the endangered pandas.

29. Kraemer thinks the major problem of panda cloning would be lacking ___ .

A. host animals B. enough money C. qualified researchers D. available panda eggs

30. What can we know about Dr Duane Kraemer？

A. He thinks the research is needed badly.

B. He tries to implant a pandas egg into a rabbit.

C. He and his team have succeeded in cloning a dog.

D. He will work with Chinese scientists in cloning research.

31. What can be the best title for the text？

A. Chinas Success in Panda Cloning B. The First Cloned Panda in the World

C. Exploring the Possibility to Clone Pandas D. China—the Native Place of Pandas Forever

Thousands of tiny， bright-red crabs （螃蟹） almost covered the beaches of Southern California completely last week. They appeared on beaches in Newport Beach， Laguna Beach， Huntington Beach， and other seaside communities at low tide， surprising surfers and swimmers in the area. “I was so startled to see them，” Laguna Beach resident （居民） Lauren Cavalia told The Los Angeles Times. “I had no idea that this kind of thing happened.”

These bright-red crabs from the ocean are also called tuna crabs. Each one is about 1 to 3 inches long. Although they look like tiny crawfish or lobsters， they arent good for eating since they dont have a lot of meat. Also their meat is poisonous， causing those who eat the meat to become sick. So residents dont catch them for meat. These crabs are active during the day but prefer to stay in the shade and can die in the heat of direct sunlight.

Marine experts （海洋生物學家） say the crab population increase is likely a result of the El Nino weather pattern. This natural climate pattern occurs when the water in the Pacific Ocean near the equator gets hotter than usual. The warmer waters linked to El Nino pushed large quantities of the crabs up north from Mexico， the marine experts said.

This isnt the first time that El Nino has affected the location of creatures living in the Pacific Ocean. The black skimmer is a subtropical seabird that has been spotted off the coast of San Diego， much further north than it usually lives. Marin needlefish， sea hares， and Dana Point whales have also appeared in areas further north than their typical habitats.

The red tuna crabs have been washed up along the coastline of Southern California for the past several years. Before that， they hadnt been seen in the area for decades.

32. What does the underlined word “startled” in Paragraph 1 probably mean？

A. Worried. B. Thrilled. C. Shocked. D. Confused.

33. What probably pushed the red crabs up north according to the marine experts？

A. Warmer waters. B. Air pollution. C. Heavy Rains. D. Habitat loss.

34. What do we know about the red crabs from the text？

A. They live in the Pacific Ocean. B. They are fond of enjoying sunshine.

C. They are delicious to eat. D. They are a kind of crawfish.

35. What does the text mainly talk about？

A. El Nino is changing the location of many creatures.

B. Red crabs are suffering from extinction because of heat.

C. Residents of Southern California are threatened by red crabs.

D. Countless tuna crabs appeared on the beaches of Southern California.

Green tourism， a form of ecotourism， is low-impact （负面影响小的） tourism with an eye toward protecting the environment and culture of an area. 36， but green tourism can cover a wide range of standards and conditions， from fully compliant （遵守） to less stressful on the environment than standard tourism. There are many opportunities for green travel available worldwide.

37， which makes green tourism not only preferable but a necessity in some areas. It might seem wiser of some people to protect natural habitats and easily damaged environments by banning visitors completely to these areas， but many areas depend on the income from tourism to support the local economy. Green， sustainable （可持續的） tourism is considered offering the best of both worlds.

Green tourism doesnt necessarily mean a vacation spent roughing it with little or no comforts. On the contrary， many people believe that it can be a wonderful adventure. Ecotourism resorts and ecologies exist in almost every style and taste. 38， there are many vacationing choices.

There are also trips available in which vacationers take an active part in improving the local area by working to protect the natural habitat. These vacations can be a lot of work. 39.

As green tourism becomes more popular， there are likely to be more vacationing choices available. More resort areas will likely take steps to have less of an impact on the surrounding environment. 40. Local economies might be able to take full advantage of the booming tourist trade without doing harm to the local environment.

A. Green tourism is very popular

B. Therefore， we should make the best of them

C. However， many people find them very worth doing

D. Sustainable tourism could easily become the standard

E. From recycling and gray water system to tents on tree houses

F. The United Nations has set up certain standard for ecotourism

G. The number of tourists traveling the world has been increasing
