You'll find this incredible display of nature in the Kenya Lake System in the Great Rift Valley.First stopFly into Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. This great city is known for its fashion markets and beautiful art. And be sure to pick up some rich Kenyan coffee while you're there! Then head for the countryside.Plan your tripThe largest of the three lakes in the system, Lake Nakuru, is less than 175 kilometers from Nairobi. But Lakes Bogoria and Elementaita are equally worth a visit. You can stay at one of several choices of luxurious cabins in the valley. And if you sign up for a trip, be sure to put flamingos, the white and pink birds, at the top of your list.ParadiseThe Kenya Lake System is shallow and alkaline （碱性的）.That means it supports vegetation such as green algae, a food source for many waterfowl. Hundreds of species of birds flourish here, using this area as a major breeding and nesting ground. Water buffalo, leopards, monkeys and the endangered Rothschild giraffe also make this area their home.Other sightsWildlife isn't the only natural wonder in the Great Rift Valley. The valley marks a place where the earth is divided far below the surface. This rock separation below ground leads to noticeable features above ground. Walking around Lake Bogoria especially, you will see steam rising from hot springs.Other activities include golfing, horseback riding and hiking. The fun doesn't stop when the sun goes down, either. The river valley is far from city lights, so many visitors gaze at the stars shining above.If you are ready for a wildlife experience, don" hesitate!21.

He was experiencing 201Ts deadly Great East Japan Earthquake, which had a magnitude of 9.0 and killed at least 18,500 people. The event left him with a greater determination to make every day count.He was introduced to the world of figure skating at the age of 4. As he watched his sister skate, her coach suggested that the energetic little boy give skating a try. He loved the sport and entered his first competition at age 10. By the time he was 19, Hanyu had won two Olympic gold medals. This achievement made him the first Asian skater in the men's singles category to be an Olympic champion.What sets Hanyu apart from other competitive figure skaters? At 53 kilograms, he's thin. But Hanyu is very strong and able to perfectly perform jumps and moves on the ice that others can only attempt. Hanyu's performances feature long, smooth and high leg kicks.

After many performances, people in the crowd showerHanyu with his loved Pooh Bears.There's no denying Hanyu9s star power on the ice, but he's admired off the ice as well.

But we should understand that we all have to experience some sort of failure in our lives. It is part of growing up and it is part of life itself. Failure doesn't have to always be seen as something negative. When you get to see failure in a different perspective, you will see that it has the power to help you get to your goal.Don*t be so hard on yourself whenever you make a mistake or fail a task. Everyone makes mistakes. Whenever you face one failure, remember to accept your fault and do something to make things right. Whenever you fail something, you just have to get up and keep trying. You will get to your goal eventually.Every mistake is a lesson you have to learn from. As the saying goes, “If you do something wrong for the first time, it is a mistake. But if it happens again, then it becomes a choice.” Your mistakes and failure make you wiser.You should be smart enough to know and avoid the causes that lead you to them once more. No dream or goal is ever easy. With every great success, there are some failures along the way that lead to something great. Don't give up and don't be afraid to make mistakes. It is all part of the game of life.Life is not a bed of roses. The journey to success will have its ups and downs and have its share of joy and suffering. You will encounter failure once in a while. But pain is part of the learning process. Failures and mistakes are experiences that will make you wiser and stronger as you climb the ladder of success.28. What is the main purpose of the passage?A.

We need to use less energy in any way that we can.German design student Tobias Tribenbacher, from the University of the Arts Berlin, has created a street light called Papilio in response to global sustainability initiatives, saying that he initially chose to create a city-facing streetlight due to such lights' role in tight pollution.Papilio can be mounted to walls or set up as a freestanding lantern. The lamp should ideally be placed between three to six metres above ground, where ground-level winds are the strongest. The lamp is shaped like a pinwheel that acts as a wind turbine （涡轮），catching the wind to produce its own energy. It also has a rechargeable battery that stores electricity, so the lamp can operated even on less windy days.Another key component of the lamp is the light itself. The warm- colored light doesn't draw the attention of insects, and it uses an infrared（红外线的）sensor so that the light is only started by nearby motion, reducing its contribution to light pollution*Aside from saving public space and beautifying streets, the streetlight's design is also a visual signal of clean energy in action.uDesign not only determines how street lights are working. It can also shape our attitude towards them and consequently affect how we use them J Tobias Tribenbacher says."Because energy creation is often an invisible process, projects such as these help the production of electricity become comprehensible.The lamp's ability to change wind power into electricity can also be a huge benefit tonaturally windy areas. And since it doesn't require any electrical infrastructure （基础设施）, there will be an opportunity to fix the street lights in remote settings or places where infrastructure innovations can be cost-prohibitive.Just as lanterns create the character of streets and squares, Papilio is envisioned as a public sustainability statement that motivates residents to take part in transforming our cities into climate-friendly, future-proof environments.32. Why did Tribenbacher choose to create the street light?A. To tackle light pollution.B. To reduce biodiversity loss.C. To beautify the city he lives in.D. To draw public attention to waste.33. Which of the following is the feature of the street light?A. It occupies a large space.B. It can be fixed anywhere.C. It is switched off by hand.D. It is unattractive to insects.34. What do Tribenbacher words in Paragraphs imply?A. The climate crisis is tough to address.B. Design can facilitate our comprehension.C. We
