Two farmers in northeast China Heilongjiang Province have been sentenced to nine and five years in jail because of eating a tiger, the local court said on Tuesday.

       Zhang Licheng and Gong Weisheng, both farmers in Dongning County, were put into prison for the crime of illegally hunting and killing endangered wild animal species, according to the People’s Court of Dongning County.

       The Siberian tiger, mistakenly trapped but intentionally(故意的)eaten by the farmers, was an endangered animal which is under the first-class state protection in the country.The farmers, living in a village very close to forests, used to trap wild animals like roe deer and hares when the dying tiger unfortunately caught in their trap in February 2003.

       Knowing that tiger trade was illegal, Zhang and Gong, however, thought eating a dead tiger’s meat was not breaking the law.They decided to cover it up and therefore did not report to the relevant authorities, the court said.

Some years ago, on a hot summer day in south Florida, a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house. He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator (美洲鳄) was swimming toward the shore.
His father working in the yard saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In utter fear, he ran toward the water, yelling to his son as loudly as he could.
Hearing his voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U – turn to swim to his father. It was too late. Just as he reached his father, the alligator reached him. From the dock, the father grabbed his little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched his legs. That began an incredible tug – of – war (拔河) between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the father, but the father was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, took aim and shot the alligator.
Remarkably, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred by the vicious attack of the animal. And, on his arms, were deep scratches where his father’s fingernails dug into his fresh in his effort to hang on to the son he loved.
The newspaper reporter who interviewed the boy asked if he would show his scars. The boy lifted his pant legs. And then, he said to the reporter, “But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my dad wouldn’t let go.”
You and I can identify with that boy. We have scars, too. No, not from an alligator, but the scars of a painful past. Some of those scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret. But, some wounds, my friend, are because someone has refused to let go. In the midst of your struggle, someone has been there holding on to you.
If you have the scars of someone’s love on your arms, be very, very grateful. Someone in your life did not and will not ever let you go.
Never judge another person’s scars, because you don’t know how they got them.
【小题1】 Which of the following is the most closely related to the underlined word “passionate”?

A.determinedB.anxiousC.frightenedD.courageous
【小题2】When the boy told the newspaper reporter about the scars on his arms, he felt     .

A.scars always remind people of their past experiences
B.wounds in the mind are more painful than those in the body
C.a painful past always leaves scars on a person’s mind
D.scars do not necessarily mean pain at all times
【小题4】Which of the following viewpoints will the writer most probably agree with?
A.Be grateful to a painful past, for you can always learn something from it.
B.Other people’s criticism or blame may hurt you, but if it is for your own good, you should take it thankfully.
C.The swimming hole of life is filled with danger, but you don’t need to be too serious about it as someone will never let you go.
D.If someone hurts you, be grateful to them, for they mean no harm

Natural ways of keeping time

In ancient times, people had to use the sun and the moon to tell time. They got up when the sun came up and worked in the fields until the sun went down.

Man-made things

The sand clock is made of two glass balls joined by a narrow neck. The top ball was filled with sand. The sand slowly moved through the neck into the bottom ball. People knew how much time had passed when all the sand had fallen to the bottom ball.

People also made the water clock. They made a small hole near the bottom of a pot. Then they filled the pot with water. Markings inside the pot showed how much time passed as the water dripped (滴) out of the hole.

Two traveling angels(天使) stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room. Instead the angels were given a space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied: “Things aren’t always what they seem.”
The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor but very hospitable(好客的) farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had, the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun came up the next morning, the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field.
The younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel, “How could this happen?” Why did you not watch out for the cow? The first man had everything, yet you watched over his house,” she accused. “The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help.”
“Things aren’t always what they seem,” the older angel replied. “When we stayed in the basement, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune, I asked God if I could seal(封口) the wall so he couldn’t find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem.”
