| I was wondering when it would happen. As everyone who lives in London and other cities around Britain will know, urban foxes are now commonplace. I recently saw one in the middle of the day, wandering along a street in Pimlico. Twenty years ago, that sight would have stopped the traffic. Now, it is barely worth a remark. Foxes are large animals, as big as many dogs. Of course, as in the terrifying incident at Homerton, one would attack a baby sooner or later. Actually, this has already happened. In 2002, at Dartford in Kent, a fox bit a 14-week-old boy in the living room of the family home while his mother was sleeping. The last government preferred to ignore the incident; it was, after all trying to ban foxhunting at the time. It could see that some folk love urban foxes, perhaps having the same affection for wildlife as the people I have seen in London parks feeding rats along with squirrels and ducks. The foxites even include animal scientists, who would seem to have persuaded Bristol City Council (whose advisory Living with Urban Foxes has been adopted by the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health) that foxes never attack humans. But then they also deny that country foxes target lambs, when every hill farmer I know would tell them differently. A lamb is much the same size as a baby. It is no more difficult to get into a house than into a hen cage. According to Living with Urban Foxes, “the fox population is stable”, and has not significantly increased. Is this true? When I first lived in London in the late 1970s, urban foxes had an almost mythical status. They were like yetis. You never saw one; you weren’t sure they really existed. Now, they are part of the scene. I wouldn’t be surprised to find one. Friends in the suburbs are plagued（困扰）with them. A study in Bristol showed that an astonishing 8 percent of pets caged in gardens are killed by foxes each year. Surely, if foxes are now harming babies, it is time for something to be done about them, yet this is not as straightforward as it might seem. While country residents refer to foxes as harmful animals, that is not how they are officially classified; this means that local authorities do not have a statutory obligation（法定的义务）to control them. It would be an easy thing for this government to change the legislation. |
| 1.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? |
| A. To urge the government to control urban foxes. B. To show how to provide food for urban foxes. C. To protect urban foxes from traffic accidents. D. To prove urban foxes are not dangerous as expected. |
| 2.The underlined word “foxites” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to those who ______. |
| A. hate urban foxes B. love urban foxes C. support foxhunting D. oppose foxhunting |
| 3.What is the author’s attitude toward Living with Urban Foxes? |
| A. Support. B. Praise. C. Disbelief. D. Tolerance. |
| 4.What kind of people is the author worried about most? |
| A. Farmers. B. Students. C. Drivers. D. Babies. |

| One day Edward brought a caterpillar ( a kind of worm) into the classroom he had found in an ear of corn. We placed the caterpillar in a glass fish tank with a metal mesh（网状物）cover for its protection. We couldn’t be sure what type of leaves the caterpillar would eat, but as it had been found in an ear of corn we decided to feed it leaves from particular garden vegetables. Soon we began collecting information about the caterpillar and noticing changes. The children wrote about what they saw in small groups. Three weeks into the caterpillar observation, the teacher started a whole-group discussion going like this: Teacher: “What do you notice about the caterpillar?” Students: “It’s twice as big as when Edward brought it to the class.” The students also commented that the caterpillar’s color had changed- yellowish and brownish colors clearly appeared. Teacher: “What do you think will happen next?” Students: “I think it’s gonna make a cocoon（茧）.” Teacher: “Wait a minute! What do you mean? The caterpillar will become a cocoon?” There was a considerable pause allowing the children to organize their thoughts and make a prediction. At this point we took an informal survey showing more than half the class believed the caterpillar would make a cocoon. Then, to further our learning, we connected the research to literature by reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle(1969). This book presents a fictional account of the “transformation” undergoing by a caterpillar: egg- larva- pupa- butterfly. When reading the book, the teacher used the terms kids already knew like larva or pupa. She also pointed out an error in the book, moths have cocoons and butterflies have chrysalides（蝶蛹）. Eventually, it developed a cocoon, which lay unnoticed for a week as the children had become distracted by other activities and events in our school and classroom. One day, the class noticed an open “case” with the contents gone. The children decided the caterpillar had “finished growing” and had changed into a butterfly or a moth. They guessed the creature had managed to escape through a tear in the mesh cover of the tank and found its way to a nearby park where there were many trees and some gardens. All these conjectures seemed reasonable and were supported by the teacher. |
| 1.The children gave the caterpillar vegetable leaves in the garden as food based on ______. |
| A. what it looked like B. where it tended to make its way C. where it had been found D. what they had learned from watching it |
| 2.Which is NOT one of the changes happening to the caterpillar while it was in the classroom? |
| A. Color. B. Size. C. Form. D. Behavior. |
| 3.The underlined word “conjectures” in the last paragraph could be replaced by ______. |
| A. experiments B. guesses C. statistics D. elements |
| 4.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? |
| A. Firsthand Nature B. Animal Protection C. An Amazing Caterpillar D. An interesting Experience |

| We live in a time when the day is controlled by selfishness and greed. The battle of selfishness and greed has been increasingly fierce and there have been many casualties, but desire has tired too many people and we find that the populated areas of the twenty-first century have lost hope for the boring symphony of selfishness. Now I have several suggestions that will get you back on your feet, so that you can continue walking down the road of life with your head held high, arm in arm with your fellow man as equal. Money isn’t everything. There exists a common understanding that everything around us is measured by money and an assumption that the meaning of life is to make as much of it as humanly possible, so that you can live a comfortable and luxurious life. It is clear that money is indeed necessary to get through life, whether spent on food or shelter, but the air we breathe and the love we share are both free and extremely rewarding. Too many people die alone, only to be remembered for their full bank accounts or their shocking debts, so we must be remembered for our kindness to others and contributions to society. Share with others. A miser is a person who cares extremely about their wealth and takes from everyone everything, with only one thing in their mind that they demand more. Not only are misers hated by the people surrounding them, but they are also the death of many men. Some of us will never admit that they take far more than they give. We are supposed to give a little, even if we receive nothing in return. Show generosity to your friends, co-workers, family, neighbors and you will be on your way to removing the greed from your life. Act unselfishly. We must learn to act unselfishly for people and help whoever in need, not because doing so makes us feel superior, not to expect something in return either, but because it helps them survive, which makes them feel connected with the world, with a smile on their face and a strong need to give to others. By acting unselfishly, we will teach others how to act unselfishly too. Next time you stick your neck out for a selfish miser, be optimistic and think that maybe he will learn to pay it forward by following your example.
