Alligators （短吻鳄） can be found in the wild in nearly half the counties in Texas，especially in the eastern part of the state，so residents and visitors may need a safety course about alligators．Although no deaths attributable to alligator attacks have been recorded in Texas during the past 15 years，17 people have reported injuries．It's against law to feed a free-ranging alligator，because after an alligator realizes that people are a source of food，it will become a problem animal．The alligator is a protected game animal in Texas，so special permits are required to hunt，raise or possess alligators．
TIPS FOR SAFETY AROUND ALLIGATORS：
l  Stay at least 30 feet away from an alligator．
l  Never Feed an alligator or leave food accessible．
l  Don't approach them or swim in areas where alligators have been seen．
l  During warm months，alligators are most active at dawn and dusk．
l  Alligators are common in swamps，rivers and muddy places．While typically found in fresh water，they can endure salty water．

8．The Problem with Top-School Lists
There are around 4，000 accredited universities and other higher education institution in the United States．They offer an immense range of educational experiences，（25）fromlarge research universities to small，friendly liberal arts colleges．This helps explain （26）whythe United States attracts more international students than any other country，says Allan E．Goodman，president of the Institute of International Education，（27）anon-profit group promoting student exchanges to and from American．
"While elite（精英） U．S programs are among the top ten in the world，"Goodman says，"the unique strength of the U．S．higher education system is diversity．"
There is no official ranking system to indicate which institutions are better than others，（28）though/butseveral unofficial rankings are listed by magazines and associations．However，educators urge caution in using a ranking table and emphasize that （29）the best（good） choice for one student may be very different for another．
Institutions of all types （30）are spread（spread） across the United States．Some students want a campus that will give them the excitement and rich cultural life of a big city such as New York，Chicago，or Los Angeles．（31）Othersvalue the peace and beauty of a rural setting，whether the quiet forests and snowy winters of the Northeast，subtropical Florida，the dry expanse of the West，or the Pacific coast with its seashore and nearby mountains．

7．My dearest son and daughter，
    The story of New Jersey high school student Rachel Canning suing （起诉） her parents for child support and high school education inspired me to write you a little letter．Let me just put this out there：the only way I expect to see you in a court is as a lawyer or a judge．
    There are two things about this case that seem to be disaster．
    First，it's natural for parents and children to argue．I can guarantee that we will disagree．One or both of you will，at some point，scream at the top of your lungs the various ways you hate me．And I won't always li ke you，either．But I will always love you and do everything I can to keep your best interests as my focus，even when I'm so angry．We are family．That means we are as much a part of one another as the flesh，blood and bones in our body．And we all should think about it very deeply instead of breaking that bond．
Second，I'll be honest，no matter how far apart we are on your life choices，your father and I will most certainly pay everything we can for your higher education．But that doesn't mean you deserve it．To be clear，that is a privilege we happily extend （给予） to you-not a right you are born with．And you will have to work hard to earn that privilege．Growing up is hard work．
    If I do my job properly as your mother-and you do yours as my children-you would sooner get a job or two，and find a way to make your dreams come true than go to trial over what you think you have the right to．
 Love always，
  Mom

Paying more for a ticket to see a film in 3D is the cause of annoyance of many a cinema-goer's life．But there may be a（n） （41）H to doing so，as a study has claimed that 3D films exercise the brain and improve short-term functioning in a similar way to brain-training tests．
The research was led by neuroscientist（神经科学家） Dr Patrick Fagan from Goldsmiths University in London．More than 100 people took part in the experiment，where participants watched Disney film Big Hero 6in either（42）A type or RealD 3D．They also carried out a brain-training-style test before and after seeing a part from the film．The test covered memory，reaction time and cognitive （认知的） function，and the results were later（43）I．
According to the research，participants（44）B a 23 percent increase in cognitive processing，as well as an 11percent increase in reaction time．
Dr Fagan said that the results showed enough of an improvement in brain function to suggest that 3D could play a part in improving brain （45）G in the future．"These findings are more significant than you might think，"he said．"It is a fact that people are living longer and there is a（n）（46）J decline in cognitive brain function in old age which can damage future quality of life．There has never been a better time to look at ways to improve brain function．The initial results of this study indicate that 3D films may（47）C play a role in slowing this decline．"
A second part of the experiment involved those watching the film being fitted with headsets（耳机） that（48）K brain activity and this too showed heightened activity when watching 3D．According to the results，participants were seven percent more engaged with what they were watching，adding to the argument that 3D movies are more like watching real-life-something．"A seven percent rise in emotional engagement is （49）E remarkable．Watching in 3D gives the viewer such an enriched and quality experience，as these results show，"he said．"In evolutionary（50）F，the results of both parts of the test certainly make sense.3D films are more likely to heighten the senses and cause emotional arousal-this，in turn，makes the brain run at quicker speeds，"Dr Fagan added．
4．The world shares him and London claims him，but Stratford-on-Avon intends to spend 2016 celebrating Shakespeare as their man：the bard（诗人）of Avon，who was born there in 1564，and died there 400years ago．
Stratford remained hugely important throughout Shakespeare's life，argues Paul Edmondson，the head of learning and research at the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust．
"People have seen Shakespeare as a Dick Whittington figure，who turns his back on Stratford and his family，goes to London to earn his fortune and only comes back to die，"
he said．"But Stratford is where he bought land and property，where he kept his library，
where he lived and read and thought．We are going to spend the year re-emphasizing the importance of Shakespeare，the man of Stratford．"
The anniversary of the death of the most famous and the most performed playwright in the world will be marked across Britain and the globe．Macbeth is about to open in Singapore，Romeo and Juliet in Brussels．Shakespeare's Globe is completing the first world tour，in which it has taken Hamlet to almost every country．North Korea is still holding out，though．
The Globe director recently jokily claimed Shakespeare as a true Londoner．Stratford，
however，will be insisting that the town made and educated Shakespeare．"His old school
room in Stratford-on-Avon where Shakespeare learned‘small Latin and less Greek'-as kindly laughed at by his friend Ben Jonson-will open its doors，scarred by centuries of naughty schoolboys，to mark 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death，"said Paul Edmondson．
Shakespeare bought the splendid New Place，the second best house in the town，when he had made his fortune on the London stage．"You don't buy a house like New Place and not live there，"Paul said．He believes that after Shakespeare bought it，all his thinking time was spent there，and that the late plays，including The Tempest，were at least planned in his library and probably written there．

3．At one point along an open highway，I came to a crossroad with a traffic light．I was alone on the road，but（16）as/when  I drove up to the light，it turned red，and I braked to（17）a   stop．I look left，right，and behind me．Nothing．Not a car，no suggestion of headlights，but there I sat，waiting for the light（18）to change  （change）．I was the only human being for at least a mile in any direction．
I started wondering（19）why I refused to run the light．I was not afraid of being caught by the police，because there was（20）obviously（obvious） no policeman anywhere around and there certainly would have been no danger in going  through  it．Much（21）later  （late） that night，the same  question of why I（22）had stopped（stop） for that light came back to me．I think I stopped because it's part of a contract （合同） we all have  with  each other．It's not only the law，but it's an agreement we have，and we trust each other to honor（23）it：we don't go through red lights．Like most of（24）us，I'm more ready to be stopped from doing something bad by the social agreement that disapproves of it than by any law（25）againstit．

7．To many Singaporeans，Mr．Lee Kong Chian is a familiar name．Popularly known as the"Rubber and Pineapple King"，he was a person who had donated generously to the society by pouring his wealth into charity work．Knowing （33）what education means to a person，he devoted a lot of energy and money to （34）building（build） schools．He was particularly concerned with the less fortunate as he could relate himself to them．
Although Lee's father knew Lee （35）must receive education，his father wasn't able to afford to send him to school．However，his father's friends helped him pay for his education．Having left school as an honour student，he went to work in the field of rubber and pineapple （36）where he set up his own business later．Thanks to the golden timing then，he had hardly got familiar with the dealings in the field （37）when he enjoyed great success．His wealth rose rapidly and before long he became a millionaire．
（38）However wealthy he was，he never forgot his humble beginnings and was always ready （39）to help（help）．Since 1952till today，the Lee Foundation which he founded （40）has donated（donate） three hundred million dollars to various causes with no conditions attached．His generosity has provided relief to the poor of all races．
