     This year, Chongqing primary schools decide to start morning classes an hour later. This will help
students feel less tired. And most primary schools will begin the first classes at about 9 o'clock in the
morning.
      The students are happy about the change.
      Liu Ming told us that his class were excited by the news on the first aay of the school. "Great!
From now on we students at Hope Primary School don't have to get up so early!" Liu said that he used
to get up at 6:40 a.m. Now he can get up at 7:50 a.m. because class doesn't start until 8:50 a.m.
     Wu Hong feels the same. She said the new timetable (时间表) was good for her health. "I used to
get up at 6:30 a.m. I had to drink coffee every night, or I would feel too sleepy to finish my homework,"
said Wu. "Now I can fin- ish it without coffee. Because I can sleep a little longer. "
      Many teachers say the change will help students learn better. "Students used to doze (瞌睡) for the
first two classes in the morning," said Huang Shan, an English teacher at No. 1 Primary School. "But
now they are active and learn much better than before. "
      But some parents are worried that more sleep will mean less learning. There used to be five classes
in the morning. Now there are only four. In fact, every coin has two sides. So does the change in the

I once experienced an unforgettable trip to Gloucester to see some of the world's most beautiful and exciting animals in their own habitat(栖息地), the North Atlantic Ocean.

    After a long trip by bus, we got on the ship. After a while, we stopped and everyone on the ship started to shout because we saw a humpback whale(座头鲸). It was wonderful. Sometimes, whales came so close to the ship that you thought you could easily touch them.

    While we were watching the whales, a guide was giving us some information about them. She told us that we saw only two kinds of whales -- 50-foot humpback whales (singing whales) and 70-foot fin back whales (the second largest whales on earth). She also said we could easily recognize a whale by its tail because every whale has a different kind of tail just like people have different fingerprints.

    They all have names, and on this trip, we saw "Salt" and "Pepper", two whales named by a biologist and a fisherman. They were swimming together all the time.

    I took twenty-seven photos, but it was very hard to take them because the whales were quick and stayed on the surface(表面) of the ocean just for a short time. It was really something. It was one of the chances that a person hardly ever experiences in life, but I had that chance.

1. This passage is mainly about ____.

    A. an unforgettable experience in the forest

    B. an unforgettable trip to see some strange animals in the mountains

    C. a long trip on the ship

    D. an unforgettable trip to watch whales

2. Everyone on the ship began to shout because ______.

    A. a whale came so close to the ship                  B. they saw a singing whale

C. they saw a fin back whale                             D. they could touch the whale

3. When they were watching the whales, ____.

A. some of them fed the whales

B. they found several kinds of whales

C. a guide told them something about the whales

D. some of them took many photos and touched the whales

4. How can we recognize a whale?

A. By its tail(认识).                            B. By its head.

C. By its neck.                                      D. By its eyes.

NBA star Yao Ming has a restaurant in the USA. The restaurant sells many famous dishes. But one dish could never be made there---shark fin soup(鱼翅汤). Yao has given up shark fin soup since he joined a program for saving endangered animals in 2006. “Animals are our friends,” he said.:How much do you know about these endangered animals?

Sharks, the king of the ocean, are in danger. Each year about 75 million sharks are killed for their fins, 8 kinds of shark have died out.

In some Asian countries, people get bile(胆汁) from Asian black bears’ stomachs and use it as traditional Chinese medicine. The animal’s population has decreased(下降) by 30% to 49% during the past 30 years.

The shahtoosh shawl(沙图什披肩) is thought to be the softest and most beautiful in the world. It is popular in Europe and the US. However, one has to kill three to five Tibetan antelopes(藏羚羊) to make just one shahtoosh. About 20,000 antelopes were killed every year during the 1980s.

One day, if animals all disappeared, the world we live in would come to an end. Saving them now means saving ourselves. Maybe you think that only scientists or famous people can save animals. In fact, everyone can do something. Here are some useful tips for students.

Don’t eat foods that are made of endangered animals, such as shark fin soup. Ask your parents and friends to do so, too.

Don’t buy or use something that is made out of endangered animals, like clothes with antelope fur or necklaces made of ivory(象牙). You should also tell your parents not to buy these things, either.

You can become a volunteer to help build the habitats(栖息地) of endangered animals. There is a lot of information on the Internet about these volunteer jobs.

You can hold a photo show at your school to tell people the situation of endangered animals and what people can do to help save them.
