That blind woman dealt with 13 blindness successfully. She reminded me of my belief in never looking down upon others and to always keep my eyes and heat 14 .

Oscar Bloom was unhappy. It was his eighth birthday. All his friends were going to come over that evening. His little sister Samantha had made him the brightest, friendship-birthday bracelet. He had heard his dad whispering to his mom the day before about “picking up the little puppy.” and had a feeling that one of his presents might be a little dog that he had been wishing for ever since he was five.

So what was wrong?

Oscar was sad because there was one very, very, hugely important person who was missing today- his beloved Grandma Rose. Last year she fell ill and then one day she just wasn’t there. “Grandma's gone, but she still loves you very much,” mom explained “I miss Grandma Rose, \“Well, Grandma has a present for you!” A present from Grandma? How?

Mom pressed play on the CD player, and Oscar heard his grandmother's voice!

“My dear Oscar, \.”I’m sorry I can't be there with you today to celebrate such an exciting day, but I’m with you in spirit. I’m with you all the time. As for your birthday present, I’d like to tell you about the day you were born, which was the very first day I met you. That was exactly eight years ago. What a tiny little thing you were back then! The doctor hardly had time to pick you up before you started to make sounds! Every doctor waits for the baby to cry, to make sure the baby is healthy, but you, Oscar, you changed the rules on them.

Your mother doesn't remember this because she was so tired, but I will never forget it. You opened your mouth, and you gave a little laugh! That’s right, you laughed! And only then did you open your mouth wider to start crying like all the rest of the babies in the hospital. I hope you remember this story for the rest of your life, young man,” Grandma Rose continued. “This is the beginning of your oral history! My present to you!”

Oscar couldn't believe his ears. His own Grandma Rose was telling him a story he had never heard before. A big smile grew across Oscar’s face. What a special birthday this had turned out to be!

Unable to stand, and suffering from a number of serious diseases in his advanced age, the world's last male northern white rhino(犀牛) was euthanized by a rescue team in Kenya on 19th March, 2018. Only two of the northern white rhinos remain on earth-his daughter, Najin, and granddaughter, Fatu.

\Sudan’s death. He was an amazing rhino, and will be remembered for the work he did to raise attention of the sad situation facing not only rhinos, but also the many thousands of other endangered animals,” Ol Pejeta Conservancy chief executive said

Sudan was born in 1972, in what is now South Sudan, when there were still about 1,000 northern white rhinos living in the wild. But their home was then destroyed by human. As The Washington Post’s Kevin wrote in a report of Sudan in 2015: “When wars broke out, the rhinos were largely killed for their meat or their horns (角), or sometimes exchanged for money or guns.” Rhino horn being highly prized is another reason for the killing of this kind of animal. The horn is considered to have medicinal qualities and is sold at very high prices. Even a recent drop in the price of rhino horn did not come soon enough to save the northern white rhino from near certain disappearing in the world.

But Sudan was saved from the horrible situation by people from a zoo in the Czech Republic when he was 3 years old. After the death of Suni in 2014, the second-to-last male, Sudan became the only male northern white rhino in the world. He spent the last years of his life under 24-hour protection. His horn had been cut off just in order to stop people from killing him for it, though it had begun to grow back. But the effort to save the northern white rhino seems to have come too late for a real turnaround.

Sudan’s death is a cruel symbol of human not caring about nature and it saddened everyone who knew him. Hopefully it will call on human beings to save the endangered animals in the world. 31. What does the underlined word “euthanized” in paragraph I mean?

A. Killed B. Hurt. C. Saved D. Found 32. What will Sudan be remembered for?

A. His big family B. His unusual long life

C. His work to encourage animal protection. D. His courage of fighting against serious illnesses. 33. In what order did the following events take place? a Sudan died in Kenya.

b Sudan was rescued by people.

c Sudan was reported by The Washington Post d. Sudan became the last male northern white rhino

e. Sudan lived with about 1,000 northern white rhinos in the wild A e, b, d, c, a Bb, a, c, d, e C. b, c, a, e, d D e, b, c, d, a

34. What made the northern white rhino almost disappear in the world? A. People didn't cut off their horns

B. Human beings destroyed their homes

C. The price of the rhino horn dropped rapidly.

D. There was no female northern white rhino left on Earth
