For years, I thought that my mother would become a Centenarian （百岁老人） , but after 98 years and eight months, she recently died of old age. As it was with my father, her funeral took place in the most peaceful setting of the countryside of rural Washington County. Even after my father died, we continued to think of our parents as one. They were a team in the traditional sense. Church and family were their life- lines. They worked hard, never complaining. They expected to earn their daily bread by the sweat of their brow.
Once during a conversation with Tom Brokaw, who wrote the best- selling hook The Greatest Generation , I told him, "You left out my parents. " They didn’t go off to war, but they belonged to the Greatest Generation. They, too, were part of the foundation that made America trulygreat. They kept the home fires burning.
Our mother gloried in being a housewife and mother. Having been a teacher in her early adult years, when education was more important than anything else, she gave up her job to raise a family .She was an excellent cook, but she had to cook on a wood stove. There was no refrigerator, nothing electric. But nobody was ever better at making . In addition to all the household chores and responsibilities, she went to the fields every day to help produce a crop to pay the rent and to provide for the family. She and my dad worked hard to save every penny possible.

They saved ever7 penny to buy a farm late in life. They also saved enough money to live out their respective live with home care without taking up residency in a nursing home. They were fiercely independent. If you had suggested they accept a government transfer payment, they
would have spit in your eye.
24. Which of the following is the best title for the passage？
A. Mother played a great part in the family. B. Mother died at the age of 98 years old. C. Mother was buried by the side of father. D. Mother survived father by many year. 25. The underlined part "one" in the passage means____ . A. parent B. Centenarian C. hero D. entirety 26. What do we know about Tom Brokaw？ .
A. He is one of the author's parents' friends. B. He likes talking with the author's parents. C. He takes up a position as a writer. D. He is good at managing a home. 27. How does the author find his parents？
A. Brave and hardworking B. Modest and warmhearted. C. Economical and independent. D. Respective and satisfied C
How can a creature weighing over 5 tons and normally taking 150 kilograms of food and 120 liters of water per day survive in a desert environment？
In the southwest African country of Namibia, and the Sahara lands of Mali further north, the desert elephant does just that.

Although not regarded as a separate species from the African elephant, the desert cousin differs in many ways. Their bodies are smaller, to absorb less heat, and their feet are larger for easier walking across sandy surfaces. They are taller, to reach higher branches. They have shorter tusks （象牙）, and most importantly, longer trunks to dig for water in riverbeds.
Desert elephants can travel over 70 kilometers in search for feeding grounds and waterholes, and have a larger group of families. They drink only every 3-4 days, and can store water in a “bag” at the back of their throat, which is only used when badly needed. Desert elephants are careful feeders---they seldom root up trees and break fewer branches, and thus maintain what little food sources are available. Young elephants may even eat the dung （粪便） of the female leader of a group when facing food shortage. During drought they are unlikely to give birth to their young but with good rains the birthrate will increase greatly. Desert elephants have sand baths, sometimes adding their own urine （尿液） to make them muddy!
As we continue to overheat our weak planet, it can only be hoped that other animal species will adapt as extraordinarily well to change as the desert elephant.

28. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means “_____”.
A. remains in the African countries B. drinks 120 liters of water a day C. manages to live in desert areas D. eats 150 kilograms of food daily 29. Desert elephants are called careful feeders because they _____. A. rarely ruin trees B. drink only every 3-4 days
C. search for food in large groups D. protect food sources for their young
