         When the two tiny ducklings were caught by the sharp jaws of a larger German shepherd, they must have
    thought their time on earth was up.
         But as luck would have it for the frightened wild ducklings that had lost their mother, the dog that helped

    two ducklings hidden in long grass next to his owner's workplace on the edge of the Thronybankw.w.^
    Industrial Estate in Dalkeith.

    to his blanket, putting them down where it was warm and even washing them clean with his tongue. The
    ducklings will be looked after by staff at the center until they are old enough to be released into the wild.
          "This dog is a modern day Rin Tin Tin, ( the world's most famous German shepherd dog) and to pick

         Dirty Britain Before the grass has thickened on the roadside and leaves have started growing on the trees is
    a perfect time to look around and see just how dirty Britain has become. The sidewalks are stained with
    chewing gum that has been spat out and the gutters (排水沟) are full of thrown away fast food cartons. Years
    ago I remember traveling abroad and being saddened by the plastic bags, waste bottles at the edge of every
    road. Nowadays, Britain seems to look at least as bad. What has gone wrong?
         The problem is that the rubbish created by our increasingly mobile lives lasts a lot longer than before. If it is
    not cleared up and properly thrown away, it stays in the bushes for years; a semi-permanent reminder of what
    a dirty little country we have now. Firstly, it is estimated that 10 billion plastic bags have been given to shoppers. These will take anything from 100 to 1,000 years to rot. However, it is not as if there is no solution to this. A
    few years ago, the Irish government introduced a tax on non-recyclable carrier bags and in three months
    reduced their use by 90%. When he was a minister, Michael Meacher attempted to introduce a similar
    arrangement in Britain. The plastics industry was against that, of course. However, they need not have
    bothered; the idea was killed before it could draw breath, leaving supermarkets free to give away plastic bags.
         What is clearly necessary right now is some sort of combined action, both individual and collective, before
    it is too late. The alternative is to continue going downhill until we have a country that looks like a vast rubbish
    tip (废物场 ). We may well be at the tipping point. Yet we know that people respond to their environment. If
    things around them are clean and tidy, people behave cleanly and tidily. If they are surrounded by dirt, they
    behave dirtily. Now, much of Britain looks pretty dirty. What will it look like in five years?
    1. The writer says that it is a good time to see Britain before the trees have leaves because_______.
    A. Britain looks perfect.
    B. you can see Britain at its dirtiest.
    C. you can see how dirty Britain is now.
    D. the grass has thickened on the roadside.
    2. According to the writer, the major problem is that __________.
    A. rubbish can not be cleared up
    B. rubbish lasts longer than it used to
    C. our society is increasingly mobile
    D. people in Britain are dirty
    3. What can be learned about Michael Meacher?
    A. He followed the Irish example with a tax on plastic bags.
    B. He failed in his attempt to introduce a tax on plastic bags.
    C. His attempt to follow the Irish example with a tax on plastic bags was welcomed.
    D. He had problems with the plastics industry who weren't bothered about the tax.
    4. What does the writer state in the last paragraph?
    A. It's too late for people to take immediate action.
    B. There is more than one solution to the problem.
    C. Britain will become an extremely dirty country in five years.
    D. People tend to behave according to what they see around them

         Andrew Ritchie, inventor of the Brompton folding bicycle, once said that the perfect portable bike would
    be "like a magic carpet…You could fold it up and put it into your pocket or handbag". Then he paused:"But
    you'll always be limited by the size of the wheels. And so far no one has invented a folding wheel."
         It was a rare-indeed unique-occasion when I was able to put Ritchie right. A 19th-century inventor,
    William Henry James Grout, did in fact design a folding wheel. His bike, predictably named the Grout Portable,
    had a frame that split into two and a larger wheel that could be separated into four pieces. All the bits fitted
    into Grout's Wonderful Bag, a leather case.
         Grout's aim: to solve the problems of carrying a bike on a train. Now doesn't that sound familiar? Grout
    intended to find a way of making a bike small enough for train travel: his bike was a huge beast. And importantly,
    the design of early bicycles gave him an advantage: in Grout's day, tyres were solid, which made the business
    of splitting a wheel into four separate parts relatively simple. You couldn't do the same with a wheel fitted with
    a one-piece inflated (充气的) tyre.
         So, in a 21st-century context, is the idea of the folding wheel dead? It is not. A British design engineer,
    Duncan Fitzsimons, has developed a wheel that can be squashed into something like a slender ellipse (椭圆).
    Throughout, the tyre remains inflated.
         Will the young Fitzsimons's folding wheel make it into production? I haven't the foggiest idea. But his
    inventiveness shows two things. First, people have been saying for more than a century that bike design has
    reached its limit, except for gradual advances. It's as silly a concept now as it was 100 years ago: there's plenty
    still to go for. Second, it is in the field of folding bikes that we are seeing the most interesting inventions. You
    can buy a folding bike for less than £1,000 that can be knocked down so small that it can be carried on a
    plane-minus wheels, of course-as hand baggage.
         Folding wheels would make all manner of things possible. Have we yet got the magic carpet of Andrew
    Ritchie's imagination? No. But it's progress.
    1. We can infer from Paragraph 1 that the Brompton folding bike _____.
    A. was portable
    B. had a folding wheel
    C. could be put in a pocket
    D. looked like a magic carpet
    2. We can learn from the text that the wheels of the Grout Portable _____.
    A. were difficult to separate
    B. could be split into 6 pieces
    C. were fitted with solid tyres
    D. were hard to carry on a train
    3. We can learn from the text that Fitzsimons's invention _____.
    A. kept the tyre as a whole piece
    B. was made into production soon
    C. left little room for improvement
    D. changed our views on bag design
    4. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
    A. Three folding bike inventors
    B. The making of a folding bike
    C. Progress in folding bike design
    D. Ways of separating a bike wheel

    My friend Kate was a pretty girl whose sweet voice

    school. Yesterday she called to say that she wants to see me but 
    not at my house. So we fixed a time and a place and then hung.

    to my surprise, I found her so much changing. She
    looked very sorrowful and worrying. She said she had made 
    such little progress that she was almost hopeless of success. 
    She wondered that whether she had been wasting her
    time doing nothing. I knew he just needed some encouragement.
    So I did what I could persuade her to gain her courage again.
