On Nov.13, 2023, the Kenyan government announced a surprise public holiday for a nationwide tree planting day, part of its plan to plant 15 billion trees by 2032.
“This Monday on Nov.13, the public across the country were expected to plant trees as a contribution to the national efforts to save our country from the terrible effects of climate change,” said Kindiki, the Home Minister of Kenya.
Kenya’s present forest coverage stands at about 7%. Deforestation speeds up climate change, which is worsening droughts in the Horn of Africa, including Kenya, where rains have failed for five seasons in a row. So the government has set aside more than $ 80 million this year, managing to augment tree coverage to more than 10%.
“It is a moment for Kenyans to stand together in the defense of our environment,” said Soipan Tuya, the Environment Minister. He referred to the day as “a ‘hummingbird(s)’ contribution day”. Hummingbirds are small birds, but they play an important part in the environment by pollinating(授粉)flowers.
He added, “Having been planting trees for most of my life, I thought I was doing rather well, but the government’s plan to plant 15 billion trees by 2032 was ‘an unprecedented(史无前例的)show of promise by the government towards our climate action duties.’”
8. What is the purpose of the public holiday
A. To increase economic income. B. To encourage people to plant trees.
C. To allow people to get more rest. D. To remind people to get close to nature.
9. Which word is the closest in meaning to “augment” in paragraph 3
A. Increase. B. Figure. C. Record. D. Stop.
10. What does Soipan Tuya want to say by referring to the day as “a ‘hummingbird’ contribution day”
A. We should get on well with birds. B. No contribution is too small to leave an impact.
C. Each animal is important to nature. D. It is time to protect hummingbirds.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Kenya Is Taking Action to Protect Wildlife
B. Kenya Is in Face of Environmental Problems
C. Kenya Improves Relationships with Their Neighbors
D. Kenya Surprises the Public with a Holiday to Plant Trees
D
Does bad grammar drive you crazy It may not just be a matter of opinion — scientists at the University of Birmingham in the UK have shown that hearing bad grammar can make us feel stressed, because it causes the body’s autonomic nervous system, which controls our body’s unconscious (无意识的) processes such as breathing and heart rate.
The study tested how our heart rate answers when we hear grammatical mistakes in a speech. It found a direct connection between poor grammar and reduced heart rate variability, which is the measure of the variation in time between our heartbeats, and a known sign of stress.
For the research, 41 healthy British English-speaking adults listened to 40 speech records by four different speakers with British and Polish accents (口音), while their heart rate was monitored by a machine attached to their fingers. Some of the speeches had grammatical mistakes, using the words “a”, “an” and “the” incorrectly. The length of the speeches changed, and the number of grammatical mistakes in them changed, too.
The results showed that on average, the listeners’ heart rate variability dropped when they heard grammatical mistakes in the speech. They also showed that the more mistakes that listeners heard, the further their heart rate variability dropped. In addition to this, the listeners found it more stressful to hear grammatical mistakes made by native English speakers compared to speakers with a Polish accent, because heart rate variability was more reduced when hearing grammatical mistakes made by those with a British accent.
The study’s lead author, Dagmar Divjak, said the results could have a practical application: They might be used to help test the mental abilities of people who cannot speak due to poor health or old age.
12. What does the research focus on
A. The rules of learning grammar. B. The ways to avoid making mistakes.
C. The importance of having a good mood. D. The impact of grammatical mistakes on our feeling.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the research
A. Its effect. B. Its result. C. Its process. D. Its purpose.
14. Which sentence may make listeners feel stressed according to the text
A. How happy we are! B. I has nothing to do at home.
C. That book was a little boring. D. My class saw a film yesterday.
15. What does Dagmar Divjak think of the results
A. Useful. B. Meaningless. C. Confusing. D. Doubtful.

It was a sunny morning, when Jessie sat at her desk in Mrs. Williamson’s class. They were learning about science, which Jessie normally enjoyed. However, a bird stayed outside the classroom window, which Jessie’s desk was right next to. So it caught much of Jessie’s attention.
“Jessie, are you listening ” Mrs. Williamson’s question cut in Jessie’s thoughts.
Jessie turned to her teacher. “What was that ” she asked.
The teacher frowned (皱眉), saying it was the second time that morning that she hadn’t been listening and that she was supposed to do better. Jessie’s face turned red, thinking Mrs. Williamson shouldn’t have said that to her. Jessie couldn’t help it if the bird by her desk was distracting (分心) her.
When the bell rang for a break, the teacher stopped Jessie. “I hope you will think about what I said in class,” she told her. “A rule is a rule. And it’s important for everyone to follow the rules.”
Jessie nodded to show she understood, but she didn’t really take it seriously, still thinking Mrs. Williamson was being too strict. Then she rushed outside to play ball games with other kids. They first picked teams and made the rules for the game. According to the rules, when a team got two outs, they had to go to the outfield (外场).
Jessie’s team was in the outfield first. In the game, she tried her best. Soon, the other team got two outs, and then it was Jessie’s turn to kick the ball.

Instead of giving Jessie’s team a chance to score, the other team quit. It made Jessie angry and she complained it was not fair. One of the players on the other team said they didn’t enjoy the game but Jessie thought that they had to keep on with the game, reminding them it was one of the rules and a rule is a rule. But as soon as she said the words, she remembered what happened in class. Mrs. Williamson had told her a rule is a rule, too. No wonder her teacher was so strict. Rules were important for everything to be fair.
Jessie went to Mrs. Williamson’s office. Seeing Jessie at the door, Mrs. Williamson was a little surprised. She found Jessie’s face flushed with shame. Jessie apologized and promised to follow the rules in class and she was going to do better from then on. Her teacher smiled warmly and hugged Jessie, saying, “I’m proud of you, Jessie. It is very brave of you to apologize.” Jessie smiled, too. She felt much better, and she understood that she needed to follow the class rules. After all, a rule is a rule!
