Shu Pulong has helped at least 1000 people bitten (咬) by snakes, “ It was seeing people with snake bites (傷口) that led me to this career,” he said.
In 1963, after his army service, Shu entered a medical school and later became a doctor of Chinese medicine. As part of his studies he had to work in the mountains. There he often heard of people who had their arms and legs cut off after a snake bite in order to save their lives.
“I was greatly upset by the story of an old farmer I met. It was a very hot afternoon. The old man was pulling grass in his fields when he felt a pain in his left hand. He at once realized he had been bitten by a poisonous snake. In no time he wrapped a cloth tightly around his arm to stop the poison spreading to his heart. Rushing home he shouted ‘bring me the knife!’ Minutes later the man lost his arm forever.”
“The sad story touched me so much that I decided to devote myself to helping people bitten by snakes,” Shu said.

One of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might some day get lost in a “sea of technology” rather than experiencing the natural world. Fear – producing TV and computer games are leading to a serious disconnect between kids and the great outdoors, which will change the wild places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on child’s play.
Each of us had a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. “If the decline in parks use continues across North America, who will defend parks against encroachment（蠶食）?” asks Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods.
Without having a nature experience, kids can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That applies to everything from their physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive（認(rèn)知的）skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parents—and they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that play in nature fosters（培養(yǎng)）leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest. Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three – year – old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more.
Kids are not to blame. They are over – protected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time, but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite（儀式）of passage.
Everyone from developers to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that cement（增強(qiáng)）love, respect and need for the landscape. As parents, we should devote some of our energies to taking our kids into nature. This could yet be our greatest cause.
小題1:.
According to Paragraph 2, the writer thinks that_____.
A．we are the last generation to experience nature.
B．the author of Last Child in the Woods don’t defend parks against encroachment
C．without having a nature experience, kids are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives
D．children should grow up to be protectors of nature
小題2:.
According to the passage, children without experiencing nature will    .
A．keep a high sense of wonder
B．be over – protected by their parents
C．be less healthy both physically and mentally
D．change wild places and creatures for the better
小題3:.
. According to the author, children’s breaking an arm is    .
A．the fault on the part of their parents
B．the natural experience in their growing up
C．the result of their own carelessness in play
D．the effect of their repetitive stress from computers
小題4:.
In writing this passage, the author mainly intends to    .
A. blame children for getting lost in computer games                 
B. encourage children to protect parks from encroachment
C. show his concern about children’s lack of experience in nature

One morning I wasted nearly an hour watching a tiny ant carry a huge feather. Several times, it   31   several obstacles in its path. And after a momentary pause it would make the necessary detour (繞道).   32  one point, the ant had to cross a crack about 10mm wide. After some   33 
thoughts, the ant laid the feather over the crack, walked   34  it and picked the feather up on the other side, then continued on its way. I was   35  by the cleverness of this ant. It was only a small insect, lacking in   36  yet equipped with a brain to reason, explore, discover and overcome.  37  this ant, like the other two-legged creatures   38  on the earth, also shares human failings.

It was there that the ant met its   41  .How could that large feather possibly   42  such a small hole? Of course, it couldn’t. So the ant, after all this   43  and using great brightness, overcoming problems all along the way, just gave up the   44  and went home. The ant had not thought the problem through   45  it began its journey and in the end the feather was   46  more than a burden. Isn’t our   47  like that?
We worry about our families; we worry about the   48  of money; and we worry about all kinds of things. These are all burdens—the things we pick up along life’s path, and drag them around the obstacles and over the cracks that life will bring, only to   49  that at the destination they are

Over many years, there has been an increase in the population of towns in many countries, as millions of people have moved from the villages in search of better jobs and facilities (設(shè)施), in the hope of getting a higher standard of living. This development has led to huge expansions of towns both upwards into the sky and outwards into the surrounding countryside. In spite of all the efforts of governments and private businesses, many areas still suffer from a serious shortage of housing.
Now, a new idea has been put forward which will utilize (利用 vt.) areas which have no other obvious commercial potential (商業(yè)潛能). These are the ponds, small lakes, disused docks (碼頭), and other areas of water, many of which can be found near, or even in the suburbs (郊區(qū)) of big towns.
A new style of construction has been designed which will provide a house for less than half the cost of the normal building. The main saving is, of course, the land, because the new houses will float on water. There will be no need for foundations; instead the house will be built on a frame (框架) made of steel which is expected to cost about ￡5,000. Above this the builders will make a house with two, three, or four bedrooms and all the usual modern conveniences, as well as a roof garden. Each house will be joined to the main services supplying water, gas, and electricity and they will have a vacuum sewage disposal (真空污水處理) system. All the service links will have enough flexibility (靈活性) to allow for small differences in the water level caused by wet and dry periods of weather.
The first houses to be built are expected to cost between ￡20,000 and ￡30,000 according to size and it is already clear that there is a very good potential market for the new system. As the cost is comparatively low, young people and common citizens would like to buy.
小題1:So many people have moved into towns because _______．
A．they enjoy the facilities
B．they expect to live a better life
C．they expect to get better jobs
D．there is a shortage of jobs in villages
小題2:What is the main advantage of the new idea?
A．It will help relieve（緩解）the housing shortage.
B．It will utilize disused areas of water.
C．It will provide jobs.
D．It will help the suburbs.
小題3:The new houses will be built on­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­_______．
A．waterside areasB．a(chǎn) stone foundation
C．lakes and rivers D．a(chǎn) steel frame
小題4:The price of the new houses will _______．
A．encourage private and government builders
B．a(chǎn)ttract ordinary people in the towns to buy
C．vary in different areas according to the policy
D．help the housing market in the countryside

Daniel Defoe (about 1660~1731) was an important novelist in the English literature(文學(xué)). When he was young, he served as a soldier and had been to Spain, Italy, France and Germany. At the same time, he went in for politics. He cared much about the development of capitalism(資本主義). He had written a lot of articles against it and he was put into prison twice for that. It was not until he was nearly sixty that he began to write the famous novel Robinson Crusoe, which was published in May, 1709. It spread so rapidly that the story was known to every household very soon.
Robinson Crusoe can be divided into three parts. The first part is about Crusoe’s three voyages, the second part about his hunting, hiding in caves farming and his hard struggles against nature on a small island, the third part about the things which happened after his return from the island. The second part is the body of the novel, in which Robinson’s characters are clearly shown.
Defoe wrote his novel in a simple style and his language is easy to understand. His novel-writing set a milestone of the modern English novel. In his later part of life, he was in poor health and lived very poorly. He died on April 24th, 1731.

An Australian man who has been donating his extremely rare kind of blood for 56 years has saved the lives of more than two million babies.
James Harrison has an antibody in his plasma that stops babies dying from Rhesus disease, a form of severe anaemia. He has enabled countless mothers to give birth to healthy babies, including his own daughter, Tracey, who had a healthy son thanks to her father's blood.
Mr. Harrison has been giving blood every few weeks since he was 18 years old and has now racked up a total of 984 donations. When he started donating, his blood was deemed so special that his life was insured for one million Australian dollars.
He was also nicknamed the “man with the golden arm” or the “man in two million”. He said: “I've never thought about stopping. Never.” He made a pledge to be a donor aged 14 after undergoing major chest surgery in which he needed 13 litres of blood. “I was in hospital for three months,” he said. “The blood I received saved my life so I made a pledge to give blood when I was 18.”
Just after he started donating he was found to have the rare and life-saving antibody in his blood. At the time, thousands of babies in Australia were dying each year of Rhesus disease. Other newborns suffered permanent brain damage because of the condition. The disease creates an incompatibility between the mother's blood and her unborn baby's blood. It stems from one having Rh-positive blood and the other Rh-negative.
His blood has since led to the development of a vaccine called Anti-D. After his blood type was discovered, Mr. Harrison volunteered to undergo a series of tests to help develop the Anti-D vaccine. “They insured me for a million dollars so I knew my wife Barbara would be taken care of,” he said. “I wasn't scared. I was glad to help. I had to sign every form going and basically sign my life away.”
Mr. Harrison is Rh-negative and was given injections of Rh-positive blood. It was found his plasma could treat the condition and since then it has been given to hundreds of thousands of women. It has also been given to babies after they are born to stop them developing the disease.
It is estimated he has helped save 2.2 million babies so far. Mr. Harrison is still donating every few weeks now.
小題1:How old is James Harrison？
A．56B．70C．74D．78
小題2:What does the underlined phrase “two million” refer to?
A．babiesB．mothersC．dollarsD．a(chǎn)ll of the above
小題3:   Why did James decide to donate his blood? Because _____.
A．his daughter asked him to help her son
B．he has a golden arm worth a million dollars
C．a(chǎn) vaccine called Anti-D is to be developed
D．someone else’s blood saved his life
小題4:The sentence “The disease creates an incompatibility between the mother's blood and her unborn baby's blood” (underlined in Paragraph 5) suggests that _____.
A．babies suffer permanent brain damage before born
B．the mother and the baby have different types of blood
C．Rhesus disease contributes to permanent brain damage
D．a(chǎn)ll the patients have a rare antibody in their blood
小題5:   What can we infer from the sixth paragraph?
A．Some of the tests to develop the vaccine are dangerous.
B．His wife Barbara needed to be taken care of badly then.
C．Mr. Harrison was glad to help develop a new vaccine.
D．His blood type was accidentally discovered after tests.

Sheep Smarter than Thought
London—Sheep, like turkeys and ostriches, are not considered the most clever animals. British scientists said last Wednesday humans may have underestimated the woolly creature. They could be much smarter than we think.
Researchers at the Babraham Institute in Cambridge, southern England, have shown that the animals have a good memory system and are extremely good at recognizing faces—which they think is a sure sign of intelligence.
Behavioral scientist Keith Kendrick and his friends trained 20 sheep to recognize and distinguish 25 pairs of sheep faces and used electrodes (電極) to measure their brain activity , which showed they could remember 50 faces for up to two years .
“If they can do that with faces, they have to have reasonable intelligence; otherwise, what is the point of having a system for remembering faces and not remembering anything else?” Kendrick said in an interview.
So hours of seemingly mindless eating grass may not be so mindless after all.
Kendrick believes sheep got their reputation as dumb (unable to speak, unintelligent) animals because they live in large groups and do not appear to have much individuality and are frightened of just about everything.
“All animals, including humans, once they are frightened, don’t tend to show signs of intelligent action,” he explained.
In research reported in the science journal Nature, Kendrick and his team showed that sheep, like humans, have a specialized system in the brain which allows them to distinguish between many different faces which look extremely similar.
“The most important finding (of the study) is that they are able , both from a behavioral point of view and from looking at the way the brain is organized , to remember a large number of individuals for a very long time,” said Kendrick. “It is a very strange system. They are showing similar abilities in many ways to humans.”
小題1:From the first paragraph we can find that______.         .
A．people used to think sheep are smarter than the other animals
B．people used to raise sheep in a wrong way
C．people don’t consider sheep as clever animals
D．people have done a lot of research on sheep
小題2:From what Kendrick said in the interview we learn that_____.         .
A．scientists have learned everything about sheep’s intelligence
B．scientists have learned a little about sheep’s intelligence
C．scientists can’t do anything more about sheep’s memory
D．scientists do not have to research animals’ memory
小題3:As is known in the passage,__________.
A．sheep are among the week animals
B．it is not right for people to raise sheep in groups
C．when sheep eat grass in the field their minds may be active
D．if people feel frightened, they may become braver
