Your mom might cook a bowl of noodles for you on your birthday. But in the US, a mom makes cupcakes for her kids on their birthday.

Cupcakes are small, round cakes with frosting（糖霜） on top. In the past, it was popular for US kids to

celebrate their birthdays by bringing homemade cupcakes to school and sharing with classmates.

Nowadays, some schools don't encourage（鼓励） kids to bring cupcakes because there is a lot of fat and sugar in them. But outside school, Americans love cupcakes. They buy them while shopping, for parties, meeting friends or just because they love the taste.

As they are small enough for one person, you don’t have to share yours with others. Everyone has one cupcake. They are mostly the same size, so there can't be any cries of “she’s got the bigger cake!”

These days, the cakes are not just food. Making cupcakes has become a popular activity for kids to do with their parents. It is easy to make: put cake flour（面粉） into a cup, bake（烘烤）, add frosting and enjoy. Why not try making a cupcake with your family? It can be a lot of fun!

44. According to the passage, it was popular in the US that ______. A. kids tried to make cupcakes all by themselves

B. family members held a party for kids on their birthday

C. a mom cooked a bowl of noodles for her kids on their birthday D. a mom made cupcakes for kids to bring to school on their birthday 45. Why don’t some schools encourage kids to bring cupcakes? A. Because they think cupcakes taste terrible.

B. Because they think cupcakes are difficult to make.

C. Because they worry that too many cupcakes make kids fat. D. Because they think kids won't be willing to share with others. 46. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The cupcakes are the most famous snacks in the us.

If an animal flies, is it a bird? Not necessarily. Bats, like birds, have wings and can fly. However, bats and birds are really very different. What does a bat book like?

Bats look like mice. Their hands and arms are covered by a thin layer（层） of skin. This makes their hands and arms work like wings. Most bats have hair that helps to keep them warm. They have two eyes and can see very well. Bats also have two ears. They can move their ears to listen to sounds. They can also use their hearing when flying so they do not bump into（撞到） things, and they can even use it to find their food. How do bats live?

Bats can see well even when it’s dark. They can hunt for food at night. Many bats eat bugs, while other bats eat fruit. Because they search for food at night, bats usually sleep during the day. Some often sleep in caves, barns, or holes in trees. Others sleep in houses that people build for them. When a bat sleeps, it hangs upside down from its feet.

How do bats help people?

Bats help people in many ways. For example, some bats eat the bugs that bite people and destroy plants. Bats can also help people by eating fruit. After eating the fruit, bats sometimes drop seeds（种子）. The seeds then grow into new plants.

Bats are very interesting and unusual animals. Not only they fly, but they also make the world a better place for people.

47. How do bats use their hearing?

A. Their hearing helps them keep warm. B. Their hearing helps them destroy plants. C. They use their hearing to find their food.
