| The hippopotamus is, without doubt, one of the strangestlooking animals in the world.The ancient Greeks named this large animal "hippopotamus, " which means "river horse." But hippos are not related to horses. Found only in Africa, hippos come in two varieties.The small pygmy hippo lives in rain forests.And the large common hippo lives mostly in grassland around rivers and lakes. The common hippo is the third largest land mammal in the world.It is lighter than the largest of the white rhinos and the elephant, the heaviest land animal.The elephant is almost twice as heavy as the common hippo. In the past, the hippo has been killed for meat, for sport, and for its tough skin.But today, in preserves only, the common hippo has increased in number.The hippo has few predators(天敌) other than lions and leopards that sometimes catch young hippos.There were many hippos killed by man during the last half of the 19th century, when Africa was being explored and settled.And a great many hippos and other animals were killed by poachers(偷猎者) during the fighting in Uganda in the 1970s.The hippo is strong, though.It resists disease and has a long lifetime, living 20 to 40 years in the wild. Hippos spend most of their time in the water, only moving onto land at night to eat.By feeding at night, their skin is protected from the sun and the dry air that can cause a serious loss of moisture(水分). Because of its large body, the common hippo may appear awkward on land, but it can move very fast and is considered by many to be the most dangerous animal in Africa.By spending their days in the water and their nights on land, hippos make it difficult for scientists to study them, so there is still much to be learned about hippos.The huge hippos, with their big mouths and tiny ears, have always fascinated humans.As scientists learn more about them, they become even more fascinating. 1. We can learn from the passage that hippos ________. A. have no connection with horses B. can be found all over the world C. are goodlooking animals D. live mostly in rain forests 2. Which of the following may threaten the lives of hippos? A. Rhinos. B. Water. C. Lions. D. Elephants. 3. Why do hippos feed themselves at night? A. It is cooler at night. B. The air at night is fresher. C. They try to avoid their predators. D. The poachers don't come out at night. 4. Why is it difficult for scientists to study the hippo? A. It can move fast. B. Its number is decreasing. C. It is the most dangerous animal. D. It doesn't appear on land during the day. |

| COOL INVENTIONS For light sleepers Millions of people have trouble falling asleep each night, which is why Light Sleeper was created. Developed in the United Kingdom, LightSleeper's makers say it can help a person fall asleep and also help a person fall back to sleep after waking up in the middle of the night. LightSleeper works by projecting(投射) a light onto the ceiling while the person is lying down.The idea is to watch the light, because the light moving in a circle has a relaxing effect. One of the advantages of the product is that it won't disturb other people in the room.The product can be easily moved and will switch itself off after 30 minutes to save power. Stop the snoring(打鼾) Here's a new product designed to slow down the frequency and level of your snoring.The Snore Stopper has a sensitive instrument that will detect when you're snoring.Once it does that, it will send a very mild electronic signal to your wrist.This consequently changes your sleeping position to stop you from snoring.The Snore Stopper won't cause any damage to your body. Get your true colors Photoshop features a pen that will copy the color settings of what you are monitoring onscreen to use as a color in your program.Now an offline product allows you to pick a color when not using the computer software. The Color Picker is a concept pen.After placing the pen against an object, the user just presses the scan button.Color sensors(感应器) inside the pen send information to a box, which then mixes red, green and blue to produce the desired ink color. Keep it fresh More high technology products are showing up in the kitchen.A new Bagel dome(圆顶形物) advertises that it will keep your baked goods fresher for longer periods of time.The product, which is able to remove air, works for bread rolls, cakes and other perishables.To use it, you just push a button at the top. 1.
