         Walking down a path through some woods in Georgia, I saw a small pool of water ahead on the path.
    I angled my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasn't covered by water or mud. As I
    reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked! Yet I did nothing for the attack.It was so unpredictable and
    from somewhere totally unexpected. I was surprised as well as unhurt though I had been struck four or
    five times. I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped attacking me. Had I been hurt I wouldn't have found
    it amusing. And I was laughing.After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly!
         Having stopped, laughing, I took a step forward. My attacker rushed me again. He charged towards me at
    full speed, attempting to hurt me but in vain.For a second time, I took a step backwards while my attacker
    paused. I wasn't sure what to do. After all, it's just not everyday that one is attacked by a butterfly. I stepped
    back to look the situation over. My attacker moved back to land on the ground. That's when I discovered why
    my attacker was charging me only moments earlier.He had a mate and she was dying.
         Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her. I could only admire the love and
    courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate. He had taken it up on himself to attack me for his mate's
    sake (缘故), even though she was clearly dying and I was so large. He did so just to give her those extra few
    precious moments of life, should I have been careless enough to step on her. His courage in attacking
    something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mate's safety seemed admirable. I
    couldn't do anything other than reward him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool. He had truly
    earned those moments to be with her, undisturbed.
         Since then, I've always tried to remember the courage of that butterfly whenever I see huge barriers
    facing me.
    1. Why did the writer change his direction while walking down a path?
    A. To get close to a butterfly.
    B. To look over the bad situation.
    C. To avoid getting his shoes dirty.
    D. To escape a sudden attack.
    2. What made the man feel funny?
    A. Making the attacker pause.
    B. Discovering the energetic butterfly.
    C. Being attacked by a butterfly.
    D. Being stepped on by his mate.
    3. From this experience the man learned _____.

    A. people should show sympathy to the weak
    B. what he should do when faced with trouble
    C. how he should deal with attacks
    D. people should protect butterflies

    4. Which of the following words can best describe the butterfly?
    A. Courageous.
    B. Amusing.
    C. Careless.
    D. Aggressive.

         The Americans believe that anybody can become President of the United States. In a recent Hollywood
    comedy (喜剧), that is exactly what happens. Dave Kovic, played by Kevin Kline, is a kind-hearted man
    who runs a business that finds people jobs. He leads a typical (典型的) American way of life, except for
    one thing-he looks exactly like the President, Bill Mitchell. In fact, the only thing that makes him different
    from the nation's leader is that he is very nice!
         The president has started using look-alikes during some public appearances. Dave is offered a chance to
    "serve his country" by becoming one. However, things go wrong. The President becomes very ill and Dave
    ends up acting as the President forever.
          Director Ivan Reitman, who made the popular and successful comedies like Twins, Ghostbusters and
    Legal Eagles, could have gone for easy laughs by making fun of the American government. Instead, Dave is
    an attractive comedy about an ordinary man in extraordinary situations. Kevin Kline gives a double
    performance as Dave and the President, and Sigourney Weaver is at her best as his First Lady. The love story
    that develops between her role and Dave is a real classic (经典).
         The film is 100% American. However, if you've ever felt that anybody could do a better job running the
    country than the people in power, then you'll enjoy Dave!
    1. What is the purpose of the text?
    A. To tell the reader about the American government.
    B. To discus the Americans' ideas about the President.
    C. To make a comparison between Dave and other films.
    D. To introduce a new film to the reader.
    2. Who plays the role of the President in the film?
    A. Sigourney Weaver.
    B. Kevin Kline.
    C. Bill Mitchell.
    D. Ivan Reitman.
    3. The underlined word "one" in the 2rd paragraph refers to _____.
    A. the President
    B. the director
    C. an actor
    D. a look-alike
    4. Which of the following is best supported by the text?
    A. The author makes fun of the President.
    B. The author thinks highly of the film.
    C. The author is a fan of Hollywood comedies.
    D. The author wishes to become the American President.

         Scientists warn today that the Atlantic bluefin tuna (金枪鱼) faces disappearance unless certain action
    is taken. They used electronic ways to track the movement of the powerful fish from the Gulf of Mexico
    to the Mediterranean, and report today in the journal Nature that meals of sushi and sandwiches with tuna
    worldwide are more dangerous than anyone has imagined.
         The bluefin tuna can live for 30 years, grow to three metres in length and weigh as much as 700kg. A
    good one can fetch as much as £ 52,000 in the Tokyo fish markets."In my lifetime, we've brought this
    big fish to the doorstep of death in the western Atlantic Ocean," said Barbara Block of Stanford University
    in California."The electronic way of tracks provides the best scientific information we've ever had to
    manage these tuna and we must, as an international community, start to act actively to make sure of the
    future of this fish."
          Scientists have repeatedly said that the harvest of the seas cannot be as good as before. There are fewer
    and fewer fish in around Newfoundland, North Sea and Iceland, so fishermen have pushed further offshore
    in search of deep ocean fish. Tuna-in the Mediterranean and Japan-have been under increasing pressure for
    years. The International Commission on the Conservation of Atlantic Tuna has tried to manage the fish since
    1969.There are two populations: a western one that has dropped by 80% in the past 30 years, and a larger,
    eastern population. Although catches are controlled by 3,000 tons a year in the western fishery, and 32,000
    in the east, no one knew whether the limits worked.
         So Professor Block and her team placed tracks on hundreds of the fish and tracked them to depths of
    more than 900 metres and on journeys of thousands of miles, measuring the movement, body and water
    temperatures. "There are two ways to save the Atlantic bluefin tuna-protect them in their production grounds
    and in their feeding grounds," Prof. Block said. "This will need immediate action in both the central Atlantic,
    to reduce the loss of the big fish while hunting, and in the Gulf of Mexico and Mediterranean, where tuna
    produce as separate populations."
    1. The bluefin tuna in this passage mainly refers to the one _____.
    A. in the Atlantic
    B. in the Pacific
    C. in the Gulf of Mexico
    D. in the Mediterranean
    2. Which of the following is NOT true according to this passage?
    A. The bluefin tuna is a kind of large and heavy fish.
    B. The number of the bluefin tuna in the sea is getting smaller and smaller.
    C. Scientists are worried about the future of the tuna.
    D. Scientists think that the harvest of the seas will remain good.
    3. The purpose of the passage is to ______.
    A. tell people a new way has been found to save the bluefin tuna
    B. call for action to save the bluefin tuna
    C. warn people not to eat tuna sandwiches anymore
    D. help scientists to find a new way to save the bluefin tuna

         We'll never forget the day that my classmates and I paid a visit of a chemistry factory last Sunday. It
    was a large one with nearly 20,000 workers. It looks like a garden and we could see colorful flowers, grass
    and trees anywhere. We also visited some workshops and saw the workers working hard.We talked to them
    and had learned a lot. We understood them farther. On the way home we felt tiring.But we both thought we
    had very good day. We really hoped that we could get many chances of leaving the school and learning social
    experiences.
