Once an Englishman named Larry Belmont went to Russia for a holiday. After he got back some of his friends came. “I had a very dangerous trip while I was in Russia.” Larry said, “I went to see a friend in the country and when the sun went down, I was still traveling through a forest in a sleigh(雪橇). It was a long way from my friend’s house when about twenty wolves began to follow my sleigh.”
“It was very dark in the forest. There was thick snow on the ground. First I heard the wolves. The noise was terrible! Then I saw long, grey forms among the trees, and soon the wolves were near me. They were running very fast, and they didn’t seem to get tired like the horses.”
“What did you do?” one of Larry’s friends asked.
“When the wolves got very near,” Larry answered, “I put up my gun and shot the first wolf dead. Then all the other wolves stopped and ate it, so my sleigh got away from them for a few minutes. Then they finished their meal, and I heard them coming again. The moon was shining brightly on the snow now, and after a few minutes I saw them running among the trees once more. They came nearer again, and then I shot another one of them, and the others stopped once more to eat it. The same thing happened again, and my horses become more and more tired and ran slower and slower until, after two hours, only one wolf was still alive and following me.”
“Wasn’t it too fat to run?” one of Larry’s friends asked.

I had to go back to the front of the plane to  39  up a forgotten item at one point during the flight and   40  that the couple were sitting very close together, happily enjoying champagne.

On numerous drives throughout my childhood, my mother would suddenly pull over the car to examine a flower by the side of the road or rescue a beetle (甲蟲) from certain tragedy while I, in my late teens and early twenties, sat impatiently in the car.
Though Mother’s Day follows Earth Day, for me, they have always been related. My mom has been “green” since she became concerned about the environment. Part of this habit was born of thrift (節(jié)儉). Like her mother and her grandmother before her, Mom saves glass jars, empty cheese containers and re-uses her plastic bags.
Mom creates a kind of give-and-take relationship with wildlife in her yard. She knows to pick the apples on her trees a little early to fend off the bears and that if she leaves the bird feeders out at night, it’s likely they’ll be knocked down by a family of raccoons (浣熊). Spiders that make their way into the house are captured (捕獲) in a juice glass and set loose in the garden.
I try to teach my children that looking out for the environment starts with being aware of the environment. On busy streets, we look for spent (開敗的) dandelions (蒲公英) to parachute; we say hello to neighborhood cats and pick up plastic cups and paper bags. This teaching comes easily, I realize, because I was taught so well by example. Mom didn’t need to lecture; she didn’t need to beat a drum to change the world. She simply slowed down enough to enjoy living in it and with that joy came compassion and an instinct (本能) for preservation.
I am slowing down and it isn’t because of the weight of my nearly forty years on the planet, it is out of my concern for the planet itself. I’ve begun to save glass jars and re-use packing envelopes. I pause in my daily tasks to watch the squirrels race each other through the palm (棕櫚樹) leaves above my porch (門廊).
Last summer, in the company of my son and daughter, I planted tomatoes in my yard. With the heat of August around me, I ate the first while sitting on my low wall with dirt on my hands. Warm from the sun, it burst on my tongue with a sweetness I immediately wanted to share with my mom.
小題1:Why does the author say Earth Day is connected with Mother’s Day?
A.Because Mother’s Day falls shortly after Earth Day.
B.To stress that all the older women in her family are environmentalists.
C.To stress how much her mother cares about the environment.
D.Because on Mother’s Day her mother shows her how to be friend to nature.
小題2: According to the fourth paragraph, which of the following is the author’s mother NOT likely to do?
A.When she came across a lost dog, she helped it to find its shelter.
B.In spring, she spent some time watching the plants growing in the garden.
C.She joined in the campaign to encourage the public to contribute actively towards a better environment.
D.She walked to a nearby shop which was within ten minutes’ walk rather than drove there.
小題3:What can we conclude from the article?
A.The author’s mother is very patient with her children.
B.The author’s mother knows how to live in harmony with nature.
C.The author’s mother always took care of the wildlife that came into her yard.
D.The author’s mother used to remind her to slow down to protect the environment.
小題4: We can infer from the article that ______.
A.the author thinks that too many people now label themselves environmentalists
B.the author’s mother knows how to get rid of the wildlife in her yard
C.the author believes that only by learning to slow down, can we enjoy life
D.the author realizes that she should teach her children by example as well
小題5:What is the main idea of the last three paragraphs?
A.How the author taught her children to protect the environment.
B.How the author’s mother influenced the author.
C.What inspired the author to slow down and enjoy life.
D.How the author spent her time with her children.

Winston Churchill once described Russia as “a riddle wrapped in a mystery(謎) inside a puzzle”. Observers of Russia in the 21st century could surely say the same of the country’s president, Vladimir Putin.
Born in Leningrad, six months before the death of Stalin, the young Putin experienced a poverty-stricken childhood but received a good education. He developed lifelong interests in judo and spy novels, and first applied to the KGB(蘇聯(lián)國(guó)家安全委員會(huì)) at the age of 17. When they told him to go away and come back with a degree, he completed with an efficiency(效率) that would later serve him well.
Putin used his KGB training, plus his own discipline and common sense, in a series of jobs. He became acting President on 31 December 1999, when president Boris Yeltsin resigned in a surprising move. Putin won the 2000 presidential election and in 2004 he was re-elected for a second term lasting until 7 May 2008. 
Due to term limits, Putin was unable to run for a third presidential term. After the victory of  Dmitry Medvedev, in the 2008 presidential elections, he was appointed to be Russia’s Prime Minister.
Putin is regarded as one bringing political stability and re-establishing the rule of law. During his presidency, Russia’s economy(經(jīng)濟(jì)) bounced back, seeing GDP increase by 72%, poverty cut more than half, and average monthly salaries increase from $80 to $640. Analysts have described Putin's economic reforms as impressive. At the same time, his conduct in office has been questioned by political opposition at home, foreign governments, and human rights organizations for leading the Second Chechen War, and for his record on human rights and freedoms.
Whether he wants to drive Russia into a new stage, or believes in the values of its Soviet past, he is determined to put his nation back on its feet. To do this, Vladimir Putin may have to show his true colors sooner rather than later.
小題1: What would be the best title for the text?
A.The Mysterious President of Russia
B.Russia’s High-growth Economy
C.Russia’s Far Past and Near Future
D.The Political Situation in Russia
小題2: Which of the following helps Putin’s success in presidential election?
A.His family background.B.His belief in Soviet.
C.His efficiency in jobs.D.His love for freedom.
小題3: What happened in Russia during Putin’s presidency?
A.The number of the poor reduced to 50%.
B.Every Russian enjoyed equal rights.
C.Russia’s economy picked up rapidly.
D.Russian people lived a peaceful life.
小題4:  What can we learn about Putin from the text?
A.He gains respect of foreign governments.
B.He always fought for human rights.
C.He ran for president a third time.
D.He is a politician of great achievements.
