9．Picture this scene，a 6-year-old girl is alone on a raft，with no lifejacket，200yards from the shore with the winds whipping up the water．She is pointing at her cousins，and yelling out，"They are drowning!"Your eyes scan left only to see a three-year-old above the surface of the water and you realize two hands are holding her up，the hands of 14-year-old Mallory，who is struggling below the surface of the water．
Three seventeen-year-olds from Salt Lake City，Tiana Skeen，Caitlin Caldwell and Jessica Osterloh，were on the lake for fun in the sun at Bear Lake when they heard the cry for help and saw this terrifying scene．The teens witnessed the three young girls in this very dangerous situation．The teens reacted quickly and swam out to save the girls while crying out toward jet skiers and people on the beach for help．Fourteen-year-old Mallory was struggling to hold her little cousin Rylee above water．The teens rescued Rylee just in time but couldn't find Mallory．Meanwhile，6-year-old Sydney was floating away on the raft with no lifejacket．The girls flagged down a jet ski to get her and bring her back to the beach．
The three teen heroines （女英雄） saved the 3-year-old and the 6-year-old，but they feel Mallory is the real heroine，as she held her 3-year-old cousin above the water until the teens were able to rescue Rylee．Mallory was finally found，but she died on the way to the hospital．

8．Health Mistakes to Avoid Making When Traveling
Everyone is talking about amazing travel experiences．However，there is always the other side of the coin．If you want to add more wonderful travel experiences to your life，make sure you avoid these health mistakes during your next trip．
Refusing injections
At times you are asked to have an injection in order to avoid a certain disease before traveling to your destination．（36）E．In many cases，mosquito bites lead to malaria（疟疾） and there are many other health risks that you may face during your trip．Refusing injections is the worst thing you can do to your health．
Eating out in the street

6．Picture this：You go to a store to buy food for a party．But when you get to the cash register （收银机） there are no plastic bags for the things you buy．
（36）FThat city has banned （禁止） most plastic shopping bags from stores．
Many cities and towns around the United States may ban plastic bags．They hope that shoppers won't use paper bags either．（37）G
But many people don't want to buy their own cloth bags．They say they wouldn't buy as much if they couldn't get a free bag．Store owners don't want to lose business．（38）D

5．Many people believe that paper started with the ancient Egyptians．However，this is not exactly true．Instead，5，000years ago，Egyptians used a material called papyrus （纸莎草纸），which was made from the stems （茎） of river plants．They put these flat pieces together to create a larger flat sheet （簿片），on which Ancient Egyptians wrote like paper．
But the paper we know today did not exist until 3，000years later．It was created in China．No one knows who first invented paper．But history does tell us about one man who improved the process．It was in the year 105．A man named Cai Lun began to use many materials to make paper．He took the outer coveting of a tree，pieces of net and cloth，broke these materials down into very small pieces and mixed them with water．Then he pressed out the water，and all that was left was a thin sheet of paper．
Paper quickly spread to other areas of the world．In the Middle East，people made paper thicker and also made it easier to produce quickly．From the Middle East，paper traveled to Europe and then the Americas．For many years paper cost a lot of money and time to create．But in the 19th century，people began to create paper from wood．
Paper changed the way people lived．Long ago，when paper was difficult to make，people only used paper for special purposes．Government officials would write important laws on it．Explorers drew maps of the world on it．But common people did not use it．As paper became easier to make，it was used for more things．People wrapped （包裹） it around gifts．Paper was also used as money．Today people use paper for even more things．

4．The memory of your first whale （鲸） will be forever fresh．The impact it makes upon you is huge and life is never quite the same again．My first whale was a 40ft grey，off the coast of California in 1979，and I've been a whale addict ever since．Now I have to go whale watching regularly just to survive normal daily life．
I may be crazy but I am certainly not alone．The world is filled with whale watchers：since its beginnings in the mid-fifties，whale watching has grown dramatically and now more than 13million people join organized whale watching trips every year．
As a faithful whale watcher，all your holidays center on whales．The only books you read are ones about whales； you wear whale T-shirts，and every time you meet your friends you talk about whales．
So what is it about these larger-than-life animals that makes them so special？Their huge size is one possible explanation：imagine sitting in a small boat next to a blue whale almost as long as a Boeing 737．The fact that we know so little about them is another possibility：modern technology has taken us to the moon and beyond，yet we are only just beginning to understand these extraordinary forms of intelligent life on our own planet．
Planning and patience are just two essential requirements for successful whale watching．Planning is needed because there are certain whale hot spots-where you have the best chance of seeing them-and because the larger species tend to be on their way from feeding areas to breeding （繁殖） grounds，so rarely do they stay in one place for more than a few months at a time．
Patience is necessary because，even under the best conditions，whales can be tricky to find．However，most commercial whale watching trips have a surprisingly high success rate because they tend to concentrate on well-known whale populations at peak （最高的） seasons．
28．What is the impact of the author's first whale in his life？C
A．He has been crazy ever since．
B．He can't have a normal daily life．
C．He has fallen in love with whale watching．
D．He has organized watching trips every year．
29．What will a faithful whale watcher do usually？D
A．Take part in whale forums．
B．Wear only whale-themed clothes．
C．Join an organization for whale watching every month．
D．Pay much attention to whales in the holidays．
30．Why is patience necessary in whale watching？A
A．Because it is very difficult to find these clever whales．
B．Because whales are on their way to breeding grounds．
C．Because the watching conditions are not always good．
D．Because they have huge size as big as a Boeing plane．
31．What can be the best title of the passage？A
A．Tips on Whale Watching
B．Memories of Whale Watching
C．Whales Are Intelligent Animals
D．Essential Requirements for Whale Watching．
