阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。

　　Cicadas(蝉) that appear from underground only once every 17-years are making big news in the US. The first signs are little holes in parks and fields. Then, big, red-eyed bugs start crawling(爬) out. Thousands of these black, winged insects cover sidewalks, mailboxes, tree branches, and roofs across certain areas of America.

　　Many insect lovers are going out to parks to observe what scientists believe to be the largest emergence of an insect group in history. But you don't have to live in the US to study the amazing bugs that inhabit our world. Summer is coming. With it come warm days and many chances to have a look at bugs. These creatures keep our ecosystems(生态系统) running and make up the majority of our planet's population!

　　Many people use the words “bugs” and “insects” to refer to anything with more than four legs. But an insect actually has six legs, a three-part body, and an exoskeleton, which is a skeleton(骨骼) on the outside of its body. Ants, butterflies and cicadas are all insects.

　　Insects keep our environment working by recycling garbage and dead plants. They serve as food for animals, and pollinate(授粉) plants. Doctors have even found ways of using them in medical treatments to help sick people.

　　Tracking down insects to watch can be as simple as going to your local park to look for ants, or as complicated as walking out into the woods to find rare beetles(甲虫) Just look carefully and be patient, and something will turn up.

　　If you want to do more than just watch, you can collect bugs. Take along a butterfly net to catch flying insects and tweezers(镊子) to pick up bugs. Take clean, empty food jars with small air holes poked(戳) in the lids, so you can keep the bugs for a little while, perhaps overnight.

　　Great creatures to look out for during summer include beetles, butterflies and dragonflies(蜻蜓)．However, creatures to watch but not disturb are spiders(蜘蛛) , bees, wasps(黄蜂) , and centipedes(蜈蚣)．All of them may leave a painful bite if you touch them and some bites can be dangerous.

　　When handling and watching the insects you find, remember: they may look different from us, but they have many of the same feelings, such as fear and pain. Have a look, but no poking or pinching(捏) , please!

1．According to the passage, insects ________.

[　　]

C．will hurt you if scared

D．only show up in summer

2．Which of the following is NOT covered in the story?

[　　]

A．The importance of insects in our world.

B．Dos and don'ts of observing and collecting bugs.

C．The differences between bugs and insects.

D．Where to find the bugs to watch.

[　　]

A．bugs are not insects

B．wee can watch cicadas only once every 17 years

C．insects are an important part of the food chain

D．you'd better not touch dragonflies, wasps or beetles

　　Paris has the Eiffel Tower(艾菲尔铁塔), Rome the Colosseum(圆形大剧场)，New York the Statue of Liberty．These symbolic landmarks are recognizable worldwide．

　　Brussels(布鲁塞尔)meanwhile has the Manneken Piss(撒尿小童)．Think of the Belgian(比利时的)capital and if anything, you think of the small peeing(撒尿)boy－a 60-centimenter-high bronze figure standing on a block, supplying a constant stream of water to the basin under him．

　　Some might laugh．But for Jacques Stroobants, the statue is up there with the best of them．“I am proud of him．People come from all around the world to see him,”says 60-year-old Stroobants with a fatherly glance(慈父般的眼神)at the little boy．

　　As the most famous landmark of Brussels, Manneken Piss has a very special place in the heart of Belgians．

　　The original Manneken Piss dates back to 1388, but the statue tourists see today dates from 1619 when the city built a second one, after the original was destroyed．

　　There are many stories surrounding the legend of Manneken Piss．Nobody knows why he was created．One story is that he saved Brussels by putting out the flames of a deadly fire with his well-aimed wee-wee(小便)．But the most believable story is that the boy－the son of a wealthy nobleman(贵族)－was missing and feared, kidnapped(绑架)．The father had a statue built in honour of the way his son was found－peeing against a tree．

　　Living in the wild can be hard．Finding food and staying safe aren't easy．Each day, animals struggle to survive in their habitats．Not all animals get by on their own．Some animals form a close partnership with other kinds of animals．These pairings are called symbiotic(共生的)relationships．

　　In a symbiotic relationship, the animals depend on each other．One animal helps the other meet its needs．Sounds good, right?Not always．Some animals are not very kind to their partners．In some cases, one animal meets its needs but hurts its partner．Take ticks, for example．These insects suck blood to live．To get blood, they attach themselves to other kinds of animals．Ticks can pass germs that cause disease instead of helping their hosts．

　　In other relationships, animals don't treat their partners so poorly．Both animals benefit from living with the other animal．

　　Small animals called cleaner shrimps have found a way of helping fish at coral reefs．As their name suggests, the shrimps clean the fish．They hang out at what scientists call a cleaning station．A fish stops by．Then a shrimp climbs onto the fish and even steps into the fish's mouth．The shrimp uses its tiny claws to pick stuff off the fish's body．That can include dead skin, tiny pieces of food, and wee creatures that can hurt the fish．The fish gets a nice cleaning．The shrimp enjoys a tasty meal of fish trash．

　　Small birds called plovers are also in the cleaning business．They have big customers－crocodiles．Crocs have long snouts(鼻子)filled with sharp teeth．Cleaning them is tricky．When a croc opens its mouth, the plover hops right in．The croc does not snap its snout shut．Instead, it lets the plover eat small, harmful animals attached to the crocodile's teeth．The plover gets an easy meal while the croc gets clean teeth．

　　When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like：“If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right．” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself：“If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?”

　　Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life．Because almost everything－all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure－these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important．Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose．

　　About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer．It clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas．The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months．

　　I lived with that diagnosis all day．Later the doctor got a few cells from the tumor．I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery．I had the surgery and I'm fine now．

　　No one wants to die．Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there．And yet death is the destination we all share, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life．It clears out the old to make way for the new．Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away．Your is living with the results of other people’s thinking．Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice．And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition．They somehow already know what you truly want to become．Everything else is secondary．

　　When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation．On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kin d you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you wee so adventurous．Beneath it were the words：“Stay Hungry．Stay Foolish．” I have always wished that for myself．And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you．Stay Hungry．Stay Foolish．
