At 26, Jane Goodall had no college education or science training. But since childhood, she had been dreaming of working closely with animals in Africa. “All through my childhood people said you can’t go to Africa. You’re a girl.” Goodall said. “But my mother used to say, if you really want to, there’s nothing you can’t do.”

In 1957, the 26-year-old Goodall went to Kenya to work as a secretary. She also arranged to meet the famous scientist Louis Leakey, who was so impressed by her enthusiasm that he hired her as his assistant. She went with him on many trips to the African jungle and in 1960 Leakey sent Goodall to live among chimpanzees in a remote animal preserve, recording the animals’ behavior and interactions.

For three months Goodall made little progress. But she said, “I never came close to giving up.” Her breakthrough came one day when she saw a male chimpanzee stick a piece of grass into a termite (白蚁) hill, then put the grass in his mouth. Afterward she came to the hill and did the same. Pulling the grass out, she discovered dozens of termites on it. The discovery — that some animals use tools — was unknown to most scientists at the time.

Goodall saw chimpanzees exhibit human-like emotions, such as jealousy and love. But she also discovered they were capable of violent attacks against each other.

Goodall received her Ph.D. in the study of animal behavior at England’s Cambridge University. Now she travels around the globe raising money to preserve wildlife. “I love being in the forest with the chimpanzees,” she said. “I’d much rather be there than traveling around from city to city.”

2.What did Goodall’s mother think of her dream?

A. As a girl she should not go to the African jungle.

B. Her dream would remain a dream unless she got the right training.

C. As a girl she should stay away from violent animals.

D. She could make her dream come true if she was determined.

3.Goodall’s most important discovery is that ________.

A. some animals use tools

B. like humans animals have emotions

D. termites are chimpanzees’ favorite food

Whether you’re up for a Crocodile Dundee’s adventure or you’d just like a taste of the Australian sun, the beaches in and around Sydney can offer you all that and more.

Sydney Beach

Sydney Beach is located at Sydney’s northernmost tip on an extension(延伸) of land ending at Palm Beach. Before checking out the golden sand, take a quick tour of the houses of millionaires from the art and film industries.

Palm Beach

Only about an hour from downtown Sydney, Palm Beach offers a long stretch(延伸) of clean sand and water. With parking near the center of the beach, that leaves the rest of it as a peaceful location with a sparse population, from which you can go surfing but take care — without the huge crowds of other Sydney’s beaches, Palm Beach doesn’t afford quite the safety level to be found elsewhere. Volunteer lifesavers are on duty only on weekends and holidays.

Bondi Beach

For the famous beach, Bondi Beach has to be your choice. Parking is difficult to find even on slow days, so consider taking public transport to this world—known beach in the eastern Sydney suburbs. Easily reachable by taxi, bus, and rail, Bondi Beach offers sun bathing, swimming, snorkeling, and all sorts of water sports fun. If you’re in the mood for a bit of exercise, two scenic coastal walks will afford you great views and sights along the shore. Take in views from Mackenzie’s Point. It starts at Bondi and heads south to Bronte Beach. But don’t try to swim in Mackenzie’s Bay — it holds dangers such as hidden rocks.

Bronte Beach

Your second choice for a scenic coastal walk covers a few miles and takes you from Bronte Beach to Waverly Cemetery, where many famous Australians are buried, including the poet Henry Lawson.

1.Which of the following shows the right order of the beaches lined from the south to the north?

A. Palm Beach—Sydney Beach—Bronte Beach—Bondi Beach

B. Bronte Beach—Bondi Beach—Palm Beach—Sydney Beach

C. Sydney Beach—Palm Beach—Bondi Beach—Bronte Beach

D. Bondi Beach—Bronte Beach—Palm Beach—Sydney Beach

2.The underlined word "sparse" probably means ________.

A. largeB. thickC. thinD. crowded

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A. If you want to enjoy a walk, you can choose Bondi Beach or Bronte Beach.

B. If you want to swim in Palm Beach, the safer time is on weekdays and holidays.

C. If you want to visit the famous people’s tombs, you can choose Sydney Beach.

D. If you want to visit Palm Beach, the airplane is your best choice.

4.What’s the purpose of the text?

A. It aims to show the scenery of the beaches in and around Sydney.

B. It aims to introduce the culture and customs in and around Sydney.

C. It aims to show the activities on the beaches in and around Sydney.

D. It aims to attract the visitors to the beaches in and around Sydney.

The Boy Made It!

One Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.

Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.

He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to find shelter form the freezing wind and snow. If he didn’t, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him. Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.

By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could — he huddled (蜷缩) in his cave and slept.

The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn’t find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved.

Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls’ survival show Man vs. Wild. That’s where he learned the tips that saved his life. In each episode(一期节目) of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.

When Grylls heard about Nicholas’ amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.

1.What happened to Nicholas one Sunday afternoon?

A. He got lost.B. He broke his skis.

C. He hurt his eyesD. He caught a cold.

2.How did Nicholas keep himself warm?

A. He found a shelter.B. He lighted some branches.

C. He kept on skiing.D. He built a snow cave.

3.On Tuesday, Nicholas ______.

A. returned to his shelter safelyB. was saved by a searcher

C. got stuck in the snowD. stayed where he was

4.Nicholas left Grylls a very deep impression because he ______.

A. did the right things in the dangerous situation

B. watched Grylls’ TV program regularly

C. created some tips for survival

D. was very hard-working

Since the invention of Guitar Hero and similar computer games, it is no longer necessary to imagine what it would be like to play along with the Beatles—you can come together with them in the virtual world.

Bill Wyman, former bass player(贝斯手) in the Rolling Stones, has pointed out that music video games discourage kids from learning to play real instruments. My own opinion suggest quite opposite.

Last year, I bought Guitar Hero Ⅲ for our 14-year-old son, Jack. Jack quickly mastered the process and entered an intense period of playing the game.

A few months later, while I was away on tour, a couple of his friends came around with a real electric guitar. Playing Guitar Hero had taught them how to play along the track. Now they wanted to see if they could apply that to the real thing. Jack’s friends taught him how to play along to his favorite songs using just his index finger (食指)on the bass string. He got it right away.

Guitar Hero had helped him over the first difficulty for guitar players—how to strum(拨弄) the strings with one hand while making chord(和弦) shapes with the other. He never plays Guitar Hero now, preferring to rock out in the garage with his mates.

Despite my attempts at getting him to learn an instrument, it was Guitar Hero that taught him the basics of playing and built up his confidence to the extent that he was able to make a recognizable sound the first time he played it.

So let’s not complain about a game that encourages kids to become music fans and, in our son’s case, gives them the basic skills needed to learn how to play guitar.

1.What’s Bill Wyman’s attitude towards music video games?

A. CuriousB. Approving.C. Negative.D. Unconcerned.

2.Which statement is TRUE about Jack’s first playing with a real electric guitar?

A. He did it successfully.

B. He taught his friends how to play.

C. He didn’t know how to play along to a song.

D. He didn’t know how to strum the instruments.

3.What can we infer from Jack’s case?

A. Parents should encourage their kids.

B. Computer games are harmful to kids.

C. Kids should learn an instrument.

D. Guitar Hero is a useful game.

4.What’s the best title for the text?

A. A new computer game

B. The story of a guitarist

C. In defense of Guitar Hero

D. The best way to play guitar

My mom takes pride in the fact that I was talking in three and four word sentences before I was ten months old. Some say it’s a gift while others simply think I talk too much.

As my thirties came to a close, I found myself reflecting on my life. I’m very happy and have no significant regrets. However, when I looked back on those times of difficulty, I saw a clear common denominator(特征); I didn’t seem to know when to stop talking. Whether it was hurting someone’s feelings, or having carelessly told a secret, the incident could have been avoided had I closed my mouth sooner. So I decided to practice the power of quiet.

To take this step, I needed to understand how people could sit comfortably in a group and not talk. Why does my husband feel completely content to say nothing in a conversation? He’s highly intelligent and has wonderful opinions but he’ll sit quietly and just listen. Even when he’s asked a pointed question, he’ll answer with few words while still communicating effectively. What a talent!

Can you imagine being happy just listening? In surveying those I know who talk less than I do, I got two answers—they either didn’t feel confident enough to speak up, or they just didn’t feel the need to participate in the conversation. Of course there were other reasons for not talking, but these were the two most popular answers.

The first one didn’t work for me. I’m just fine letting people know what I think about them, and hopefully it will make the conversation much more interesting. The second one didn’t work either. I do feel the need to participate. I feel it physically like an electrical pulse through my body; sometimes it’s so strong that it causes me to behave badly in the form of interrupting or speaking in an unusually loud voice. I had to look further.

An interesting thing happened on this journey to the power of quiet. During my weekly yoga class, it came to me like an answer so clear that the words rang in my head like soft, heavenly bells.

I talked too much so people would know I cared about them. It was my way of taking care of those I love. I decided before my fortieth birthday, that from that day forward, those around me would know I loved them, and cared what they thought and felt, but I was going to practice the power of quiet.

As my forty-second birthday approaches, I can say that deciding to talk less has been more about focusing on quality rather than quantity. I’ve found that listening more shows those who I care about that I really do care how they feel. Now when I break in, it means more to them. Oh, sure, I still have my short periods of talking too much, but for the most part this has been one resolution that I can call a success.

1.In Paragraph 3 the writer mentions her husband mainly ________.

A. to show how one communicates effectively

B. to explain the reason for his silence in a conversation

C. to give an example of those who have the power of quiet

D. to give her high opinion of his communication skills

2.By “I had to look further”, the writer means she had to ________.

A. look into the future in order to succeed in practicing the power of quiet

B. try harder to prevent herself from talking too much

C. survey people in other areas who talk little

D. find out other reasons why she should talk less

3.Which of the following best describe the writer’s character?

A. Kind but pessimistic.

B. Loving and active.

C. Selfless but proud.

D. Stubborn and sensitive.
