4．Aerial performer Jennifer Bricker was born without legs，but she never let it stop her．
Wrapped in a loop of red silk hung from the ceiling Jennifer Bricker climbs and twists to the music．Her head hangs down and her strong arms let go as she balances on her back，high above the ground a move that's all the more daring because she has no legs．
Jennifer was a few months old when she was adopted by Sharon and Gerald Bricker．She had big brown eyes，a bright smile，and huge amounts of energy．When a doctor advised her adoptive parents to carry her around in a kind of bucket，they refused．
Jennifer soon learned to walk-and run-on her hands and bottom，and grew up fearlessly climbing trees and bouncing on the trampoline（蹦床） with her three older brothers．"My parents didn't treat me differently so I didn't grasp the concept that I was different．I knew I didn't have legs but that wasn't stopping me from doing the things I wanted to do．"
At the age of three she was fitted with artificial legs，but she never really took to them-she moved more freely without．
In 1996the Olympic Games took place in Atlanta．Jennifer loved to watch the women's gymnastics team，and especially adored the 14-year-old Dominique Moceanu who competed for the US．When Moceanu and the women's team won gold，Jennifer decided she was going to be a gymnast，too．She took up power tumbling，which involves performing floor exercises down a runway．But Jennifer did not want any allowances to be made for her disability．
At the age of 10 she took part in the Junior Olympics and by age 11she was tumbling champion for the state of Illinois．
Jennifer now travels the world as an inspirational speaker and acts as an aerial performer．

3．In the late 1950s，a Russian geneticist called Dmitry K．Belyaev attempted to create a tame （驯化的） fox population．Through the work of a breeding programme at the Institute of Cytology and Genetics at Novosibirsk，in Russia，he sought to find the evolutionary pathway of tame animals．His test subjects were silver-black foxes，a melanistic （带黑色的） version of the red fox that had been bred in farms for the color of their fur．
He selected the animals based on how they responded when their cage was opened．About 10% of the foxes displayed a weak"wild-response"，meaning they were docile around humans．Those that hid in the comer or made aggressive voices were left in the farm．Of those friendly foxes，100females and 30males were chosen as the first generations of parents．
When the young foxes were born，the researchers hand-fed them．They also attempted to touch or pet the foxes when they were two to two-and-a-half months old，for strictly measured periods at a time．If the young foxes continued to show aggressive response，even after significant human contact，they were thrown away from the population---meaning they were made into fur coats．In each selection，less than 10% of tame individuals were used as parents of the next generation．
By the fourth generation，the scientists started to see dramatic changes．The young foxes were beginning to behave more like dogs．They wagged their tails and"eagerly"sought contact with humans．By 2005-2006，almost all the foxes were playful，friendly and behaving like domestic dogs．The foxes could"read"human hints and respond correctly to gestures or glances．

24．What do we know about Belyaev's breeding plan？B
A．It explains how red foxes were bred．
B．It focuses on how tame animals evolved．
C．It explains why pet foxes became popular．
D．It concentrates on why tame animals disappeared．

D．By flexibility．
26．What can be inferred from Paragraph 3？C
A．Smart foxes were used for testing．
B．The purpose of selection was unclear．
C．Friendly foxes were kept on testing．
D．The selection was not exact and thorough．
27．What is the distinguishing characteristic of the fourth generation foxes？A
A．Behaving in a friendlier way．
B．Eating plants．
C．Having drooping ears．
D．Having shortened legs．

Dear editor，
Recently students of our school have made the survey of"Views on Newspapers"．The people interviewed held two different opinions.45% of them enjoy reading newspapers．First of all，as a convenient source of information，reading newspapers is not limited by time．Additional，reading also makes people to think，which helps develop people's intelligence．Moreover，people can read whatever section they are interested．
However，55% of the people don't turn to newspapers for many information．They hold the idea that newspapers don't catch people eye because they lack the sound and video what make other sources of information more exciting．What's more，readers receive information from newspapers late than from the internet and TV．
Personally，people can make use of whatever means to gather information as long as it's convenient for us．
Yours，
Li Hua．
