Last year I worked in Nepalfor three months. When I had a few days off, I decided to go into the jungle(丛林). I asked a Nepalese guide, Kamal Rai, to go with me.

We started our trip at six in the morning with two elephants carrying our things. It was hot, but Kamal made me wear shoes and trousers to protect me from snakes. In the jungle there was a lot of wildlife, but we were trying to find tigers. We climbed onto the elephants’ backs to see better. However, it is unusual to find tigers in the afternoon because they sleep in the daytime.

Then, in the distance, we saw a tiger, and Kamal told me to be very quiet. We moved nearer and found a dead deer. This was the tiger’s lunch! Suddenly, I started to feel very frightened.

Then the tiger jumped out suddenly, about five hundred kilos and four meters long. It caught Kamal’s leg between its teeth, but I managed to pull Kamal away. One of our elephants ran at the tiger and made it go back into the grass, so we quickly ran away to let the tiger eat its lunch. That night it was impossible to sleep!

     Question:What is more astonishing than a 60-ton whale on a
flatbed truck being driven down the street?
     Answer:A 60-ton whale on a flatbed truck exploding and rai-
ning blubber( fat of whales) all over the sidewalk.
    That's what happened in Taiwan recently,when a dead sperm
whale being shipped to the Halobios Research Centre for an autopsy
(尸体解剖) developed an extremely bad case of gas and blew up
before it reached its destination.
     The whale was found alive on a Taiwan beach last weekend,
and died shortly after it was discovered. Since the 56-foot whale was
the largest whale ever beached on Taiwan's shores,scientists wanted
to study it and perform an autopsy for educational purpose.
      Obviously,too much time passed between when the animal died
and the time it was set to be moved to the autopsy location,because
it had already started to go bad. When things rot,they give off gases
as a by-product. In the whale's case,the gases were trapped in its
belly. The pressure inside the rotting creature grew so much that it
popped like an over-filled balloon. Unfortunately,it was on a truck in
the middle of the city of Taiwan at the time ;cars and shops lining the
street were covered with whale bits and juices,much to their owners'
discouragement.
      According to news reports,traffic was tied up for hours while of
ficials tried to clean up the streets.
     Newspaper editors worldwide were probably smiling to them-
selves,since they had a ready-made headline; several reports about
the incident were titled " There  She  Blows ! " after the famous line
from the book Moby Dick.
1. The purpose of the question at the beginning of this news report  is to ___.
A. explain the reason
B. sell newspapers
C. attract readers
D. give an immediate answer
2. The whale's explosion was the result of___．     
A. pressure from gases building up in the creature as it began to rot
B. the long transport of the creature from the beach to the centre
C. the extremely busy traffic in the streets it passed by
D. the quick process of rotting of the animal
3. What is the correct order of the incidents?
        a. The whale was set to a flatbed truck.
        b. The whale was discovered.
        c. The whale exploded.
        d. The whale died.   
A. b;c;a;d                        
B. d;c;b;a
C. b;d;a;c                        
D. d;b;a;c
4. What do we know from the last paragraph?
A. Some newspaper editors were laughed at.
B. Moby Dick is the name of a woman writer.
C. All the newspapers reported the story under the same title.
D. The title" There She Blows ! " is taken from the book MobyDick.

     A survey was conducted in Shanghai where interviewees were asked if they wanted to be a factory worker. One percent of all peo ple interviewed said: "YES," Wang Hongjun, a technician, said, rai sing his voice for
impressive effect." But I can tell you, only a small part of that I percent are telling the truth."
     I've met colorful people like Wang all over China. They are cynical (玩世不恭的 ) yet warmhearted, plain
spoken but smart. And many of them are confined (局限于) to work in factories.
     Wang is a top technician but also represents manual factory workers, who are China's most important
natural resource. Their en- ergy is powering China's economic boom, and their muscle is turning the wheel of
the world's factory.
     But does their unskilled labor give their life meaning? At school, did they tell their friends:" When I grow up
I want to work in a factory making socks?" Did you?
     Factory work has always been a stepping-stone from farm life to the city and a modern life. It's been
happening for centuries, but today, with our space-age technology, it's outdated. Earning 1,200 yuan,( $169)
per month working in a factory is better than that on a farm, but as Wang points out, it's not a dream career.
There should be better ways to earn your rice.
     Many modern factories no longer have production line workers. Robots do the assembly (装配). People
just do the monitoring. In this age of technology, in which China is now working smarter and not just harder,
why are people still standing in production lines?
     But life is cheap in China. So why not continue to make use of the low-cost labor situation and keep the
economy growing fast, some entrepreneurs may ask.
      But have these businessmen ever labored in a factory?
1. How many people surveyed really like to be factory workers?
A. One percent.
B. Only a small part.
C. Only a small part of that one percent.
D. The writer didn't mention it.
2. Which is NOT the writer's opinion of factory workers?
A. Cynical.
B. Unimportant.
C. Warmhearted.
D. Plain spoken.
3. The writer uses _____ to begin the passage.
A. a lot of figures
B. many examples
C. some dialogue
D. the result of a survey
