I promised Michael I wouldn’t mention this until the season was over．Now l think it's time．

    Early last season, I wrote a column about an art of kindness I had seen Jordan do to a disabled child outside the stadium．After it ran，I got a call from a marl in the western suburbs．He said，“I read what you wrote about Jordan．but I thought I should tell you another thing I saw．”

Here it comes, I thought. It always does. Write something nice about a person, and people call you up to say that the person is not so nice.

    A few weeks later Jordan and I were talking about something else before a game, and I brought up what the man had said. Was the man right? Had Jordan really been talking to those two boys in that poor and dirty .neighborhood?

    "Not two boys," Jordan said. "But four."

    And he named them. He said four names. And what did they talk about?

    "Everything,” Jordan said. " Anything. I’ve asked to see their grades so that I can check to see if they're paying attention to their study. If it turns out that one or two of them may need teaching, I make sure they get it."

    It's just one more part of Michael Jordan's life one more thing that no one knows about, and one more thing Jordan does fight for. The NBA season is over now, and those boys have their memories. So do J! When the expert reviewers begin to tuna against Jordan as they surely will, I'll think about those boys under the streetlight, waiting for the man they know to come. For someone they can depend on.

Prevention is better than cure. This saying has never been more appropriate than with reference to vaccination (接种疫苗). There are two main types of vaccines—live vaccines and killed or inactivated vaccines. Live vaccines are vaccines that contain disease causing antigens which are altered in such a way that weakens them to the point that they're no longer able to cause the disease. Killed or inactivated vaccines contain microbes (细菌) that have already been treated by chemical means to prevent them from copying or causing diseases. This means that any kind of vaccine for children cannot produce diseases, but can only help the body in creating antibodies that prevent that particular disease.

For a vaccine to make it to the market, its safety has to be confirmed. So most vaccinations for children are generally quite safe and are essential to children's health.

Vaccination can create immunity to various childhood diseases through deliberate artificial stimulation of the body's defenses. Among children, vaccinations not only prevent diseases and disorders, but also protect the health of the community, especially of those who aren't immunized (使免疫). For example, infants that are less than a year old cannot be given a measles (麻疹疫苗) vaccine but can be infected by measles. This can be prevented if people suitable for vaccination do get themselves vaccinated.

However, no vaccination is hundred percent safe, and there're always certain risks involved in vaccinations for children. For example, general side effects like pain, redness, headaches, swelling or a small lump at the site of the injection are common. Sometimes allergic (过敏) reactions may happen as well.

Therefore, when choosing any vaccination, parents should make an informed decision by weighing all pros and cons of vaccination for children. After all, the side effects of vaccines for children are far less severe, when compared to the symptoms of the diseases they prevent!

During recent years, floods and flash floods have caused billions of dollars in damage each year. They are among the most common and widespread of all natural disasters. Even more importantly, they’re No.1 weather-related killer. A flood can happen anywhere along the Mississippi, in New England, even in the desert.

The following are some fascinating facts about floods and flash floods.

A flood（commonly called river flood）is high flow of water from a river or similar body of water, happening over a period of time too long to be considered a flash flood. Flooding is caused in many ways. Winter or spring rains, together with melting snows, can fill rivers too quickly. Heavy rains from hurricanes or other tropical（热带的）systems can also produce river flooding. The Mississippi River Flood of 1993 was caused by repeated heavy rain from thunderstorms over a period of weeks.

Flash floods are quickly-rising floods which are usually the result of heavy rains over a short period of time, often only several hours or even less. They can also be caused by ice jams（冰塞）on rivers related to a winter or spring melting, or occasionally even a dam break. The constant influx（汇集） of water finally caused a great overflow to begin, powerful enough to sweep vehicles away, roll big stones into roadways, uproot trees, level（夷平） buildings, and knock bridges down. The speed of the rising of water is the most frightening.

Do remember: Move to higher ground and stay away from low areas during heavy rain. Stay out of flooded areas. Never allow children especially to play or walk in flowing water. Never drive your car into water of unknown depths.

43. What is the best title for the passage?

A. The power of floods               B. The damage of floods

C. The occurrence of floods           D. The facts about floods

44. The last paragraph is mainly about ______ .          

A. flood safety tips                B. the reasons for floods

C. the waste water systems               D. the swift flood waters

45. According to the passage, people are afraid of _____ most during flash floods.

A. the constant influx of water

B. the sudden occurrence of flash floods

C. the quick rising water

D. the great damage of flash floods

46. According to the passage, flash floods are ______.

A. great floods resulted from heavy rains in a short time

B. floods rising quickly from heavy rains in a short time

C. quickly-rising floods in a long time

D. floods happening over a long time

     You may have heard the popular saying, "there are always more fish in the sea". But as many new
studies show, fish populations are changing, and not necessarily for the better.
     Consider the case of big, predatory (食肉动物) fish. These giants, like sharks and cod (鳕鱼), eat
other smaller fish. Big fish are an important part of the marine ecosystem (海洋生态系统) because they
keep down the numbers of smaller fish. Without fish that eat other fish, populations of smaller swimmers
would increase, eating more plants, and leaving less vegetation for other creatures, including future fish.
     As fierce as predators can be, they're no match for fishing technology. Many people love to catch
predatory fish like sharks, cod and tuna, and new studies suggest that over-fishing is threatening these
creatures near the top of the marine food chain.
     In one study, Villy Christensen and his colleagues looked at 200 past studies of marine life to learn
how fish populations have changed over time. Christensen reported that between 1910 and 1970, the
numbers of big predators decreased slowly, and that in 1970 their populations really started to drop.
Around that time, fishing ships began using new tools that led to more fish being caught. The numbers
have been falling quickly ever since.
     Reg Watson looked at the problem from the perspective of the fishermen. In the middle of the 20th
century, Watson reported, fishing boats didn't go far from home, and most fish were caught near the
shore. That was no longer true by the 1980s. By then, fishing had moved farther from shore, into the
open oceans, and was helped by the development of new technologies. But since the 1990s, something
has changed. Despite new technologies and more efforts, fishing operations have not continued to
develop.
     Scientists study historical data to understand the present, and this research is needed to forecast the
future of fish and fishing. And the forecast doesn't look good: large predator fish are becoming harder to
find, and soon may disappear.
1. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that           . 
A. more big fish are breeding in the ocean
B. the fewer smaller fish, the more big fish
C. big fish are less important than smaller fish
D. the numbers of smaller fish are controlled by big fish
2. Why did the number of big predators begin to fall quickly in 1970?
A. Fishing ships began using new tools with which they could catch more fish.
B. There were fewer smaller fish than before.
C. There were more people catching big predators.
D. Their environment was being polluted by fishing ships.
3. Which of the following would scientists most probably agree with?
A. It may soon be difficult to find large predator fish.
B. It will cost much more in the future to catch big fish.
C. Smaller fish still give the fishing industry a bright future.
D. It is tough for researchers to forecast the future of fish.
4. What can we conclude from the passage?
A. The decrease of the number of smaller fish has changed the marine food chain.
B. Big fish have to live in the deep sea to avoid being caught.
C. Over-fishing with new technology accounts for the decrease of the number of big fish.
D. The decreasing populations of small fish lead to fewer big fish.
