It was a Saturday afternoon two years ago, and I still remember what happened.
I remember that the organizer was holding a large event that day. In Guangzhou, where people gathered, there were often many foreigners attending the event. In order to make it easier to communicate with them, understand their needs and help them to find the correct address, more university students were needed to volunteer to communicate with them. As an enthusiastic person who likes to help people without expecting anything in return, I signed up as a volunteer. After my application was approved, I started my work with full confidence.
I dressed up as a volunteer and helped out at the event. People who needed help would call me when they saw my logo. Suddenly, I saw a foreigner running towards me in a hurry. I asked, “May I help you ” “Could you tell me how to get to the restroom ” he asked. “Restroom” is a place for rest. I thought he was tired, so I told him to go straight to a drink store, on the right of which was the restroom. After receiving the answer, the foreigner politely said “Thank you” and had a little smile on his face.
At first, I was happy, but then I was confused when I heard another of my volunteer colleagues giving a different direction for the restroom. As we walked down the street, I asked her why she was pointing to the toilet. She said “restroom” was “toilet” and I realized that I had given the foreigner the wrong direction. I wondered what happened to the foreigner.
( )8. Which of the following is not the purpose of volunteering to help foreigners

B. The foreigner came to tell the writer that he was given the wrong direction.
C. The author found she told him the wrong direction by herself.
D. A passer-by asked the author the same question to remind her of the correct answer.

A. In a report. B. In a novel.
C. In a notice. D. In a diary.
D
Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction.
A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 metres and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert, so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometres through a dark forest.
Some fish have an unbelievable (不可思议的) sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area.
Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet.
However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply (仅仅) turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals.
( )12. How can a certain kind of ants find their way
A. By imagining the way.
B. By counting their steps.
C. By bringing food together.
D. By walking through a forest.
( )13. What are people advised to do according to the last paragraph
A. To help animals. B. To travel at night.
C. To keep city lights on. D. To develop unusual abilities.
( )14. What’s the right structure of the passage (①—Paragraph 1)
A. ①② / ③④⑤ B. ① / ② / ③④⑤
C. ① / ②③④ / ⑤ D. ①②③ / ④⑤
( )15. Which can be the best title for the passage
A. Birds’ Sense of Light B. Fish’s Sense of Smell
C. Animals’ Sense of Direction D. Animals’ Sense of the Magnetic Field
