Jim is a boy who thinks a lot and learns a lot. One day when he was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped. He saw a group of elephants and these big animals had a rope around their front     . The rope was very      , so the elephants could break it easily. But to his surprise,      did not.

Jim saw a trainer near the elephants. Then he walked over and asked him    . “Well,” the trainer said, “When they were very young and much smaller , we used the same       ropes to tie around their legs and, at that age, they were sure they      hold(约束)them. As they get bigger and bigger, thy still believe the ropes can hold them, so they     try to get away.”

Jim thought a lot     that. These animals could break their ropes at any time, but because they       they couldn’t, they didn’t give it a try.

Like the       many of us believe that we can’t do something in our life, just because we didn’t do it successfully in the past.

1.A. ears                B. legs                     C. teeth                  D. necks

2.A. short                   B. thick                   C. thin                           D. long

3.A. he                  B. it                      C. she                    D. they

4.A. what                    B. when                 C.      why                    D. where

5.A. color           B. size                    C. age                D. look

6.A. could                  B. couldn’t                  C. need                 D. needn’t

It's very early in the morning and I'm sitting outside. It's also very cold and dark. With me is Jim Nightingale, and he is the reason I'm up so early. He passes me a hot cup of coffee. "Not long to wait now," he says. I hope he's right.

    After a few minutes there is a very weak light in the east, and then I hear a bird singing. It sings very loud and very clear. "That's the robin(知更鸟)," says Jim. A few more birds start singing with the robin and Jim knows the names of them too. Half an hour later, there are more and more birds singing, and it's very loud! Suddenly, all around us the air is full of the sound of birdsong. This is the dawn chorus(晨鸣), and it's beautiful.

    "Wow, this is amazing!" I tell Jim, who is smiling. "Is there a dawn chorus every morning?"

    "Birds can sing any time of the year but the best time is the end of winter and during the spring. This is when the birds sing most."

    "Really? So, why do they sing?" I ask.

    "Well, there are two reasons," explains Jim. "Most of the songbirds who sing are males. They want to find a female(雌性)so they sing to show how strong they are. The females listen and choose the best singer! The birds also sing to tell other males to go away. They need their own area; they don't like sharing with another male."

    I listen to the birds; the songs seem too much to me. "Do the birds sing a special song in the morning?"

"That's a good question," replied Jim. "The successful birds have many kinds of calls and songs. Sometimes they copy the songs of other birds. This makes it sound like there are many birds in that place already and other males stay away. Also the female likes songs with different notes. Some birds, for example the European wren, have songs that contain over 700 different notes per minute!"

So, how does Jim know so much about birds? Well, he works as a volunteer for the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. He is trying to help the birds live in the modern world. "More and more of the birds' habitat disappears every year. The sparrow, for example, was a very common bird in the UK, now it's in danger."

    By now the sun is up and the birds are quiet. It's light so they can start looking for food, they need a big breakfast after all that singing.

1.Why does the writer get up early in the morning?

A. To visit her friend.               B. To drink hot coffee.  

C. To see different birds.                  D. To hear birds sing.

2.A bird sings early in the morning mainly_______.

A. to call a female's attention          B. to fight with other males

C. to find a place to live in      D. to start looking for food

3. According to the text, which of the following statements is true?

A. At first the writer is happy to be up so early in the morning.

B. Male birds have their own ways of fooling other birds.

C. It's easier for the birds to find food early in the morning.

D. Jim has a job with the Royal Society for the Proteciton of Birds.

4.The text is mainly about_______.

A. the robin's songs                          B. the birds' habitat

     A friend of mine named Jim received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve
when Jim came out of his office,a street urchin(顽童) was walking around the shining car. "Is this your car, Jim?" he
asked.
     Jim answered,"Yes,my brother gave it to me for Christmas." The boy was surprised." You mean your brother gave
it to you and it didn't cost you nothing? Boy, I wish..." He hesitated(犹豫).
     Of course Jim knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the
boy said surprised Jim greatly.
     "I wish," the boy went on," that I could be a brother like that." Jim looked at the boy in surprise, then he said
again, "Would you like to take a ride in my car?"
     "Oh yes,I'd love that."
     After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, "Jim, would you mind driving in front of my
house?"
     Jim smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbours(邻居) that he
could ride home in a big car. But Jim was wrong again. "Will you stop where those two steps are?" the boy asked. 
     He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Jim heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was
carrying his little crippled(残疾) brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
     "There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him
a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it...
