Do you know that animals have love for each other and their children just like us humans? Let me tell you some moving stories of great animal parents.

Another story is about chimpanzees(猩猩). A scientist named Jane Goodall spent 4 years living with chimpanzees in Africa. She found that chimpanzees also cared for those that were hurt or got lost. “It is not only humans who have duties, animals also do,” she said.

Cats are the most popular pets among Americans. So it is not surprising that there are a lot of expressions about cats. Some cats like to catch small birds, like canaries (金丝雀). If someone looks very proud and satisfied with himself, we say “he looks like the cat that ate the canary.”
Sometimes, a cat likes to play with a small animal it catches. So if you “play cat and mouse” with someone, it means that you change between different kinds of behavior when dealing with another person. For example, a girl might offer something sweet to her little brother and then take it away when he reaches for it.
Americans might say that something is “the cat’s miaow” or “the cat’s pajamas(睡衣)” to describe something that is the best or finest. “A copycat” is someone who acts just like someone else or copies another person’s work. “A fat cat” is a person with a lot of money.
If you tell about something that is supposed to be a secret, we say you “let the cat out of the bag”. If you are not able to speak or answer a question, someone might ask you if “the cat has got your tongue(舌头)”
Have you ever watched children in a classroom when their teacher leaves for a few minutes? “When the cat’s away, the mice will play” means people sometimes act badly when there is no supervision (监管).
You may have heard the expression “curiosity killed the cat”. This means caring too much about things that are not your business might cause problems.
If you have ever had cats as pets, you know it is difficult to train them or to get them to do something. Cats are not like Sheep or cows that can be moved in a group. So we say a difficult or impossible job is like “herding (放牧) cats “
小题1:What can we learn from the passage?
A．The expression “a fat cat” is used to describe someone who is very fat.
B．The expression “play cat and mouse” usually means “play tricks on others”.
C．It is more difficult to keep sheep or cows than cats.
D．There are more expressions about cats than those about dogs.
小题2: In which of the following situations do we most probably use the expression “curiosity killed the cat”?
A．Someone always asked a lady her age or weight and it made her angry.
B．Someone promised to keep a secret but he failed to do so.
C．Someone won the first prize in an English singing competition and he felt very excited.
D．Someone tried to swim across the Yangtze River with his newly broken legs.
小题3:Where can you most probably find the passage?
A．In a scientific research paper about cats.
B．On a website telling people how to keep cats.
C．In a magazine telling various jokes and funny stories.
D．In a language book that teaches students how to use American slang.
Penguins are lovely animals. Most people like them. But now as many as 10 of the 17 kinds of penguins are in danger of disappearing. The number of penguins has decreased by ( 减少了) 30% since 1987.
Penguins are black and white birds that live in the southern part of the world. They are common in the Antarctic Continent (南极大陆) ,New Zealand, Australia and South America. Many live near cold waters (水域). But some live near warm waters in Galapagos Islands. Penguins  cannot fly, but  they are fine swimmers. The shape of their body helps them to survive. Penguins eat fish and krill  (磷虾). They have short wings that help them to dive up to 900 feet to catch larger fish. They can swim 10-15 kilometers an hour which lets them protect themselves. They also have lots of body oil that helps in keeping them dry in the water.
The warming of the earth is the reason for the decrease in the number of penguins. The hotter and hotter air has caused ocean waters to become warmer. Higher water temperature has decreased the fish and krill. Some years later these birds are completely unable to reproduce. And many adult penguins die of hunger.
Too much fishing, exploration for oil and oil leaks (泄漏) also make penguins be in danger. Poisonous things in ocean waters are another danger. Penguins also have their enemies, including sharks, seals and sea lions.
小题1:Penguins can do the following except________.
A．divingB．flyingC．swimmingD．catching fish
小题2:Which of the following is NOT the reason for the decrease in the number penguins?
A．The warming of the earth.B．Too much fishing.
C．Natural disasters.D．Poisonous things in ocean waters.
小题3:What does the underlined word "reproduce" mean?
A．繁殖B．灭绝C．迁徙D．觅食
小题4: What’s the passage mainly about?
A．Fish and krill have decreased.
B．Ocean waters are polluted.
C．Sharks and seals are the enemies of pen­guins.
D．The decrease in the number of penguins.
One thing that British and Chinese cultures share is a love for fine tea. Today, when we think of Western tea culture, we often think of the English and beautiful china tea cups.
Afternoon tea
People believe that an English lady, Anna, first introduced the idea of afternoon tea. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the English ate only two main meals each day: breakfast and a heavy supper that would last for several hours in the evening. As a result, people often got very hungry during the long wait between these two meals. To solve this problem, Anna came up with the clever idea of inviting some friends to join her for an afternoon meal between four and five o’clock. This meal included cakes and sandwiches. And tea was served(供应) to wash down the food. In order to make this afternoon meal important, fine china cups and plates and silver teapots, knives, forks and spoons were used. Soon, afternoon tea parties became popular social occasions. Today, afternoon tea parties continue to play an important part in the social life in modern Britain.
Will you come for coffee?
Coffee also has an important role in British culture. People often use the words “Will you come for coffee” to mean “Would you like to come to my home for a chat?” Normally, several different drinks such as tea, hot chocolate or a soft drink like orange juice will be served as well as coffee, and you will be asked what you would like. However, you will not normally be offered wine at a “coffee” party.
Coffeehouses and the London Stock Exchange
In the 17th century London, coffeehouses were busy and noisy places. Businessmen and bankers went to coffeehouses to do their business, as well as to drink coffee. In fact, the London Stock Exchange(伦敦股票交易所) is believed to have started from these coffeehouses.
小题1:Anna introduced the idea of drinking afternoon tea because she ______.
A．enjoyed chatting with her friends at home
B．loved fine tea and beautiful china tea cups
C．wanted to share nice food with her friends
D．found people felt hungry during the long wait between the two meals
小题2:What does “social occasions” mean in Chinese?
A．集体婚礼B．社交活动C．社区表演D．公共场合

A．will be offered coffee only
B．are asked what you would like to drink
C．will be asked to have a chat with him or her
D．you are invited to take part in an afternoon tea party

C．businessmen and bankers went to coffeehouses just for coffee.
