6.A woman was walking her dog along a beach in New Zealand in late June when she saw something that looked like a white ball in the sand.It turned out to be a young Emperor penguin that was lost.At his age,he should have been close to the Antarctic,swimming for fish and playing on the ice floes(冰川).But this penguin started swimming north and just kept going.The penguin attracted a lot of attention in New Zealand.It has been 40years since an Emperor penguin was last seen there.Researchers at the Department of Conservation were called in.They decided to watch the penguin closely,but not to disturb it in any way.Many New Zealanders came to Peka Beach to look at the elegant penguin.They were careful to keep their dogs away from it so it wouldn't be frightened.
The public nicknamed the animal Happy Feet.Researchers started to notice that Happy Feet didn't seem well.It turns out that he had been eating the sand from the beach,likely thinking it was snow.
The public raised more than 11,000pounds for an operation to get the sand out of his stomach.The operation was a success,and Happy Feet was taken to a zoo in Wellington,NZ.A group of experts met to decide how to help Happy Feet return to the wild.
Last Sunday,they put him on a boat called the Tangaroa,in a specially built ice-filled box and took him out into the Southern Ocean,southeast of New Zealand.There,they released him into the ocean,which is his natural habitat.He took one last look at his human helpers and then dived into the ocean.
"Emperor penguins spend their first five years at sea,"said Peter Simpson of New Zealand's Department of Conservation."What happens now is up to the penguin."
Happy Feet was fitted with a satellite transmitter(发射机)so they can monitor his progress using the Internet.So far,the trackers shows that he swam northeast for a little while before getting his bearings and heading south.
28.Where is the young penguin supposed to appear?B
A.On the sunny beach
B.Near the Antarctic.

30.The public collected some money toA.
A.get the sand out of the penguin's belly
B.build a home for the penguin
C.do some research on the penguin
D.return the penguin to his habitat
31.What happened to the penguin in the end according to the passage?D

18.After a tornado touched down in a small town nearby,all the local newspapers carried stories featuring some of the families who suffered the hardest.A particular picture(41)especially touched me.A young woman stands in front of a totally destroyed home,a pained expression twisting(使扭曲) her features.A young boy,seven or eight years old,stands at her side,eyes downcast.A tiny girl stares into the camera,eyes wide with confusion and(42)fear.This would be a good (43)opportunity to teach my children to(44)help those less fortunate than themselves.
I taped the picture to our refrigerator,explaining their (45)difficulty to my seven-year-old twins,Brad and Brett,and to three-year-old Meghan."We have so much,and these( 46)poor people now have nothing,"I said."We will (47)share what we have with them."
I sorted through our (48)clothes and (49)encouraged the boys to go through their toys and 50.donate some of their less favorite things.
Brad and Brett (51)placed the toys they had chosen to donate into a box while I filled it with clothes.Meghan walked up with Lucy,her much-loved doll hugged (52)tightly to her chest.She 53.stopped in front of the box that held the (54)toys,gave Lucy a(55)final kiss,and then laid her gently on top of the other toys."Oh,honey,"I said."You don't have to give Lucy.You love her so much."
Meghan nodded seriously,eyes glistening(闪光) with held-back (56)tears."Lucy makes me happy,Mommy.Maybe she'll make that other little girl (57)happy,too."
I stared at Meghan for a long moment.I suddenly( 58)realized that true generosity is(59)giving that which you cherish(珍爱) most.I,who had wanted to teach,had been taught.
Without a word,the boys went to their rooms.They came back with their (60)favorite toys and placed them in the box next to Lucy.Swallowing back tears,I pulled all three of them into my arms.
