Both warm-blooded and cold-blooded desert animals have ways to escape the desert heat. Warm-blooded desert animals, such as rats and mice, rest during the day, often staying in cool underground burrows. At night they search for food. Animals that are out during the day, such as cold-blooded lizards and snakes, are active only for short periods. As their body temperature rises, these reptiles move into the shade in order to cool down. In the early evening, when the sun grows weaker, the reptiles become more active and begin their search for food again.
Getting enough water to survive is a major problem for all desert animals. Some desert animals, such as the kangaroo rat and the related jerboa, get water only from the food that they eat. Because these animals eat mainly dry seeds, they must survive on a tiny amount of water.
Most deserts have only a small number of frogs and toads because these animals must be near water to survive. Yet even these creatures have adapted to desert conditions. When small amounts of water collect in temporary streams, the desert-living frogs and toads become active. After a rainfall, they lay their eggs. The eggs grow into tadpoles in a few days and into adults in just four weeks. When the puddles dry up, the adult frogs or toads dig into the ground. Their metabolism(新陳代謝) slows, and they stay beneath the ground until the next rain, which may be as good as a year away. Until then, their bodily activities continue at a reduced rate.
The camel---often called the ship of the desert---is one of the most successful desert animals. Camels can go for long periods without water, but eventually they must drink. When water becomes available to them after a long drought, they may drink 95 liters of water or more. When water is not available, what helps camels survive the desert heat is the fat stored in their humps. A camel’s hump contains about 12 kilograms of fat. Fat is rich in hydrogen. As the fat is digested, hydrogen from the fat combines with oxygen in the air that the camel breathes. The result is H2O, or water. Each kilogram of fat that a camel digests produces about a liter of water.
71. Desert animals are usually more active at night because ______.
A. it is cooler at night           B.it is easier to find water
C.they like the dark            D. they are less likely to be attacked at night
72. Which of the following desert animals can get water only from the food?

A. All the desert animals rest during the day.
B. All the desert animals don’t rest during the day.
C. Cold-blooded desert animals don’t rest during the day.
D. None of the cold-blooded desert animals go out during the day.
74. The title for this passage could probably be ________.
A. Hot Deserts                        B. Desert Animals
C. How Desert Animals Get Water         D. Ways To Escape the Desert Heat
75. The underlined word “burrows” in the first paragraph can be replaced by _________.

April 27 is Take Our Daughters to Work Day in Britain. Started at first in the Unite States and brought to Britain in 1994, Take Our Daughters to Work Day has become a special day for girls between 11 and 15. On that day thousands of girls take a day off school and go together with one of their parents to their work places. The purpose of this day is to broaden girls’ horizons and raise their self-confidence.
For many years people have thought that boys can do better than girls in society. But actually, “girls can be whatever they want to be just like boys, whether it is a pilot, a nurse or a chief executive,” says the chairman of the Our Sons and Daughters Charitable Trust, an organization which supported the activity of the Day. “Now the girls have a close look at what their parents are doing and this may help them to be more self-confident when they are faced with a choice of work.”
Schools and many companies support the activity too. Palmers’ Green High School for girls, in north London, has made the day necessary part of careers education.
Zarina Bart, 15, from Palmers’ Green, went with her mother to her Lawyer’s office this year’s Take Our Daughters to Work Day. She found it interesting to see her mother at work. “It’s really strange seeing Mum at work--- running around, getting serious and telling people what to do.” She has always liked this idea of going into law and thinks it likely that she will follow in her mother’s footsteps. Having a chance to see how her mother works has given her more self-confidence.
Experts believe that girls with higher self-confidence aim higher and are more likely to be successful in life. Parents have most important effect on the confidence of teenage girls. If parents believe in their daughters and show examples both at work as well as at home for them, this will give a lot of help to girls. Take Our Daughters to Work Day is surely a step in the right direction.

In July 2008, Zheng Jie mad her own bit of sporting history for China. At the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London, Zheng beat Ana Ivanovic, who was then the world number one, on the way to a place in the semifinals. It was the first time that a Chinese player had reached a Grand Slam tournament semifinal(大滿貫半決賽).
“After my performance at Wimbledon when I returned to China, I was welcomed by a huge crowd at the airport. I was excited that I could turn so many people’s attention to the tennis,” said Zheng.
Zheng was born in Chengdu, Sichuan in July, 1983 and donated her winning from Wimbeldon to the Sichuan earthquake relief-fund.(救濟(jì)金)
She followed up her Winbledon performance with a bronze medal at the Beijing Olympic Game.
“To me the Olympic is a wonderful memory of my career path. When I watched the five-starflag rising up in my own country,it’s hard to describe or expressthe feelings of pride with words,” she said. Zheng’s singles displays in 2008 represented new progress in her career and reminded the world of the potential of Chinese tnnis.
Zheng’s parents didn’t play tennis themselves but encouraged her to take up the sport just to stay fit, but Zheng became lost in the game.

Now Zheng Jie has become the top fof Asian tennis. She may prove to be the first of many Chinese players to make a great impact in the tennis world in the years to come.

After I __19__, I realized I had left my purse with credit cards at home. __20__, I had a small amount of cash in my pocket, so I __21__ it, my coupons(優(yōu)惠券) and went inside. The store was really __22__, but I just found what I needed, waiting for the cashier(收銀員) to check out my __23__. I waited and waited, meanwhile my anger grew. I had a bad day and all I wanted to do was go home, but I was __24__ in the line.
Finally, I got to the front, but the cashier didn’t __25__ my coupons. I was upset because I had used __26__ coupons there before. It didn’t __27__ me. I would just pay in cash. Then the cashier said it was 10 dollars. SHOCK! I was a little __28__. Now I was mad at myself for forgetting my purse and only taking a small amount of cash. Without a credit card or anything else, I __29__ my things and started to go back out to my car, wondering to myself why everything had __30__ for me.
Just as I was headed out, an employee __31__ me and said a lady in the __32__ had paid the difference for me and left. __33__ the amount she paid was small, the act was huge. A stranger, whom I had never met, completely changed my attitude with her __34__. Maybe next time I see someone having a __35__ day, I’ll do the same as her. After all, you never know whose day you might change.
