I arrived in the UK last weekend to learn English. So far I have already made a few friends and had some traditional English food there. But after having three days of hamburgers, sandwiches and potatoes, I thought none could be more delicious than Chinese food, especially my favorite --huo guo. You can't imagine how excited I was when I got to know that there was going to be a free meal of hotpot to welcome the new students. On the way to the canteen, I seemed to smell huo guo in the air. To my surprise, when I stepped into the room, I didn't see any sign of huo guo. Where was it? With many questions in my head, I sat down to have the free meal. After talking with an English girl, I got to know that Chinese huo guo is completely different from hotpot. Chinese huo guo is written in two words-hot pot; and hotpot, one word, is a traditional English dish. Hotpot is made from mutton and onion. On the top are pieces of potatoes. People put it in the oven all day in a heavy pot on a low heat. It takes very little effort to prepare. You can often see it at parties in the UK because it's easy to prepare for a large number of people and is not expensive. Hotpot doesn't taste bad. However, I still miss huo guo-hot pot, two words! The writer felt excited when she learnt she would _ . A) learn English in the UK B) meet some new friends C) have hamburgers and potatoes D) have her favorite food

Q: When people are dirty, they take a bath or a shower. Animals don't have soap , but they do keep themselves clean. Many animals with hair, such as dogs and cats, keep themselves clean by licking their hair. They also use their teeth to pull out small dirty things from their hair. When they lick their hair, it is almost as if they are using a wet brush to clean themselves. Birds take baths to stay clean. First they walk through water that is not deep. Next they beat their wings to dry themselves. Birds also take sand baths on the ground. It is thought that they do this to drive away parasites . Even fish need cleaning. Fish have very little parasites that live in their mouths. Some fish live by eating these parasites off other fish. Such fish are called "cleaner fish". Larger fish will open their mouths so that the cleaner fish can get in to clean. Some animals that live in groups clean each other, such as monkeys. They often clean one another.

A) Animals Keeping Clean B) Different Animals C) Driving Away Parasites D) Monkeys Living in Groups
