Other groups are creating parks to9 snow leopards from hunters. These efforts (努力) are starting to make a difference.10 we keep working together to protect snow leopards, they can have a brighter and safer future.

19、There's nothing quite like falling sound asleep after a full day of work. Like people, animals need to rest after working hard. Some animals sleep in water. Others dig holes under the ground. Some even sleep high in trees or under leaves. But they all find a way to rest.
Some animals in the sea sleep in strange ways. Fish sleep with their eyes open. They seem to look ahead far into the sea while they rest. Sea otters (海獭) sometimes sleep in beds of the plants that grow in the sea. This keeps them from moving away. Parrotfish blow something from their mouths when they are ready to sleep. Then a bubble will be formed around them. The bubble protects them from harm while they sleep.
Some animals sleep under the ground. Chipmunks (花栗鼠) sleep curled up (蜷缩) in a ball. Their beds are made of leaves and grass. In winter, they sleep for two weeks and wake up to eat the stored food. Then they go back to sleep for another two weeks before waking up again. Some desert frogs dig underground holes during the hot, dry season. A frog may stay in its hole for months.
High above the ground, monkeys find leafy places in trees each evening before they sleep. The tall trees help to keep monkeys safe during the night. Some insects even sleep under the leaf that will be their next meal. A bee may climb down into a flower to rest. When it climbs out the next morning, it is rested and ready for work.
(1)、What animals blow bubbles when they sleep?A、Sea otters. B、Monkeys. C、Desert frogs. D、Parrotfish.(2)、How does the writer describe the sleeping ways in Paragraph 2?A、By comparing. B、By giving examples. C、By listing numbers. D、By telling stories.(3)、What do we know about chipmunks according to the text?A、They rest with their eyes open. B、They never sleep curled up in a ball.

Have you eaten a "China burger" yet? In recent years, "China Burger" fast food restaurants have opened and become more and more popular. Although they go by different names, like Tastien and Ranxiong, they are like McDonald's, KFC or Burger King, but more Chinese.
I wanted to try something special from Tastien. So a few days ago, I got a Peking duck burger with a drink. When I got my food, I loved the packaging (包装). The paper bag and boxes came in red, white and blue colors. They also had the words "Made in China" on them. The burger is pretty good. It has the Peking duck meat with some cucumber, lettuce (生菜) and plum sauce (梅子酱). I really like their freshly made bread. It's better than the bread from other brands. Although the Chinese bread used was not perfect, the China Burger gave people a more Chinese taste. It opens the door for me to try more different burgers. I'd still like to eat more from this and other China Burger restaurants in the future.
Tastien started selling burgers in 2017, but since then it has grown fast. With its slogan (标语) of "Chinese stomachs (胃) love Chinese burgers," Tastien now has over 5,400 stores, making it the fourth-largest burger chain in China. A Tastien customer (顾客) spends just 19 yuan for every meal, far less than that spent at McDonald's and KFC. And these "Chinese burgers" are often on sale for as little as 7 yuan.
The popularity also has something to do with a growing sense of national pride (民族自豪感) among Chinese consumers. Chinese products are getting more fans and young Chinese consumers think "Made in China" is not bad at all.
(1)、A Tastien customer (顾客) often spends __________ yuan for these "Chinese burgers".A、19 B、7 C、26 D、12(2)、According to the passage, which of the following is NOT right about the food from Tastien?A、The paper bag and boxes are in red, white, and blue. B、There aren't any words on the packaging. C、You can have Peking duck meat in the burger. D、The bread is freshly made.(3)、In Paragraph 3, the writer mentions (提及) McDonald's and KFC to show __________.A、food from Tastien is very cheap B、Tastien is more popular than them C、the burger from Tastien tastes much better D、food from Tastien is always on sale(4)、What is the best title for this passage?A、Less Junk Food, A Healthier Life B、Burgers: A Cheaper Choice C、Chinese Stomachs Love Chinese Burgers D、Chinese Food Is the Best
