Lions are opportunists. They prefer to eat without having to do too much work. When resting in the shade, they are also watching the sky to see what is flying by, and even in the heat of the day they will suddenly start up and run a mile across the plains to find out what is going on. If another animal has made a kill, they will drive it off and take the dill for themselves. A grown lion can easily eat 60 pounds of meat at a single feeding. Often they eat until it seems painful for them to lie down.

The lionesses, being thinner and faster, are better hunters than the males. But the males don’t mind. After the kill they move in and take the test share.

Most kills are made at night or just before daybreak. We have seen many, many daylight attempts but only ten kills. Roughly, it’s about twenty daytime attempts for one kill.

When lions are hiding for an attack by a water hole, they wait patiently and can charge at any second. The kill is the exciting moment in the day-to-day life of the lion, since these great animals spend most of their time, about 20 hours a day, sleeping and resting.

Lions are social cats, and when they are having a rest, they love to touch each other. After drinking at a water hole, a lioness rests her head on another’s back. When walking, young lions often touch faces with older ones, an act of close ties among members of the group.

1.By describing lions as “opportunists” in the first paragraph, the author means to say that lions ________.

A. like to take advantage of other animals B. are clever animals

C. are cruel animals D. like to take every chance to eat

2.According to the text, which of the following is true?

A. Lions make most kills in the daytime.

B. It doesn’t take lions too much time to make a kill.

C. Males care more about eating than active killing.

D. Lions are curious about things happening around them.

3.How can we know that lions are social animals?

A. They depend on each other. B. They look after each other well.

C. They readily share what they have. D. They enjoy each other’s company.

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A. Lions, Skilled Hunters B. Lions, Social Cats

C. Lions at Work and Play D. Powerful Lions

When Paula Grzelak-Schultz spotted a piece of paper tucked under her windshield(挡风玻璃) wipers, she thought she was getting fined for leaving her car in a bar parking lot overnight. With a heavy sigh, Grzelak-Schultz removed the paper and unlocked her car.

Hardly had she unfolded the paper when she got shocked. It was a letter from the manager of Original Joe’s Restaurant & Bar in Sherwood Park, Canada.

“Just wanted to thank you for leaving your car parked overnight,” Jay McLean, managing partner at Original Joe’s, wrote. “I’m not sure if you had consumed alcohol at our restaurant or not, but we wanted to thank you for not drinking and driving.”

Inside it,, Grzelak-Schultz also found a voucher(代金券) for 1 pound of chicken wings.

“Please accept this as a thank you for being responsible,” McLean wrote. “Life is valuable, have a great weekend.”

“I was sure it was going to be a ticket or a scolding from someone for leaving my vehicle there for so long,” Grzelak-Schultz told CBS News. “I was truly surprised and so pleased that the manager took the time to acknowledge my good judgment.”

She decided to share the man’s good deed on Facebook.

“Wow! I’m so impressed. Definitely going back,” Grzelak-Schultz wrote in a Facebook post on Tuesday that has since gone widespread with nearly 8,500 shares. “Not just because of the voucher, but also because of how well this guy treats his regular customers.”

Exactly a week later, Grzelak-Schultz returned to the restaurant to thank McLean for his kindness, and discovered that she’s not the only customer to receive this leter.

“He’s been doing it for over a year, with no expectations.” She explained. “Just being a good guy.”
