18．It was Mother's Day morning last year and I was doing my shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son，Tenyon．As we were leaving，we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance（入口）and had hit her head on the concrete（混凝土）．Her husband was with her，but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock．
Walking towards the scene，Tenyson became very upset（沮丧的） about what had happened to the couple．He said to me，"Mum，it's not much fun falling over in front of everyone．"
At the front of the supermarket，a charity（慈善） group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds（筹集善款）．Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower．"It will make her fel better，"he said．I was amazed that he'd come up with such a sweet idea．So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up（让…高兴）．"Just take it，"she replied．"I can't take your money for such a wonderful gesture．"
By now paramedics（救援人员）had arrived，and were attending to the injured woman．As we walked up to her，my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment．He said he was just too scared to go up to her．
Instead I gave the flower to the woman's husband and told him，"My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better．"
At that，the old man started crying and said，"Thank you so much，you have a wonderful son．Happy Mother's Day to you．"
The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower，telling her who it was from．Though badly hurt and shaken，the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile．

17．We are not born with courage，but neither are we born with fear．Maybe some of our fears are brought on by your own experiences，by what someone has told you，by what you've read in the papers．Some fears are reasonable，like walking alone in a bad part of town at two o'clock in the morning．But once you learn to avoid that situation，you won't need to live in fear of it．
Fears，even the most basic ones，can totally destroy our ambitions．Fear can destroy fortunes．Fear can destroy relationships．Fear，if left uncontrolled，can destroy our lives．Fear is one of the many enemies hidden inside us．
Let me tell you about three of the other enemies we face from within．The first enemy that you've got to destroy before it destroys you is indifference．What a tragic disease this is!"Ho-hum，let it slide．I'll just drift（漂流） along．"Here's one problem with drifting：you can't drift your way to the top of the mountain．
The second enemy we face is indecision．Indecision is the thief of opportunity and enterprise．It will steal your chances for a better future．Take a sword to this enemy．
The third enemy inside is doubt．Sure，there's room for healthy skepticism（怀疑）．You can't believe everything．But you also can't let doubt take over．Many people doubt the past，doubt the future，doubt each other，doubt the government，doubt the possibilities and doubt the opportunities．Worst of all，they doubt themselves．I'm telling you，doubt will destroy your life and your chances of success．It will empty both your bank account and your heart．Doubt is an enemy．Go after it．Get rid of it．

16．Well，I finally decided to enter the digital age．My kids have been annoying me； my book group made fun of me； and the last straw was when my car broke down，and I was stuck on the highway for an hour before someone stopped to help．But when I went to the cell phone store，I almost changed my mind．The phones are so small that I can't see the numbers．They all have cameras，computers and a Global Positioning System that's supposed to spot me from space．All I want to do is to be able to talk to my grandkids!And the rate plans（资费套餐）!They were complex，confusing，and expensive!I'd almost given up when a friend told me about her new Jitterbug phone．Sometimes I think the people who designed this phone and the rate plans had me in mind．The phone fits easily in my pocket，but when it opens it reaches from my mouth to my ear．The display is large，so I can actually see who is calling．With a push of a button I can control the volume（音量），and if I don't know a number，I can simply push one for a friendly，helpful operator that will look it up and even dial for me．The Jitterbug also reduces background noise，making the sound loud and clear．There's even a dial tone，so I know the phone is ready to use．

11．The past fifty years or so have seen the gradual disappearing of animals from this earth，fishes from the sea，trees and plants from the land．
Many factors result in this unpleasant phenomenon（现象）．Among them，hunting is the main factor that endangers wild life．Some people kill wild life for sport．They take pleasure in collecting heads and hides（兽皮）．Yet others specialize in commercial hunting like killing whales．
Apart from this，the rapidly growing human population threatens（威胁） wild life on land，too．Towns expand and roads have to be built，so forests are burnt and trees are chopped down．It seems that man needs every inch of land within his reach，so he moves on to the natural habitat of wild life．Tigers，lions and leopards slowly die off without the food and shelter that the forests provide．
In addition，rapid urbanization（城市化） means industrial expansion．Very often，poisonous chemicals，industrial wastes and oil are dumped into the rivers and seas．Fish and birds are threatened．
Man depends greatly on animals for survival．He needs their flesh，hides and furs．Thus，man cannot do without wild life； or he himself would become extinct．The public should be made aware that it would be better to shoot the animals with a camera than with a gun．In this way，they can preserve and help wild life to continue living rather than to remove all signs of it．
Man must learn to farm the sea as he does the land．He should control the amount and the frequency of his catch．He should allow fish to breed and multiply before netting them．Man also needs to build forest reserves，and to pass laws prohibiting（禁止） the killing of animals，especially those that are already rare．To keep the present animal kingdom，the least that man can do is to clean the seas and rivers and to prevent pollution．
The cycle of nature is such that it forms a vicious circle（恶性循环）．The pesticides（杀虫剂） that we spray on crops can kill the birds and animals that feed on them．When man eats these poisoned animals，he himself can die．We must therefore test the chemicals to be used before they are sprayed or it might mean the death of man!
23．The author's purpose in writing the passage is toD．
A．explain how important wild life is to human beings．
B．call people's attention to serious problem of pollution．
C．explain relationship between wild life and human being
D．call people's attention to the protection of wild life
24．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？C
A．The growing human population threatens wild life because people take land from animals
B．Some people devote themselves to killing animals for money．
C．People can preserve and help wild life to continue living by shooting the animals with a camera．
D．Fishes are threatened by poisonous chemicals，industrial wastes and oil．
25．The last paragraph is mainly aboutB．
A．the importance of wild life to human beings
B．how the circle of nature is formed
C．how animals are gradually disappearing form the earth
D．how to solve the problem of pollution．
