After about an hour, a middle-aged man ran to the young man in a hurry and said, “It’s you! You do come here.

The prize of the lottery ticket was ＄500,000. Yesterday when the middle-aged man knew he won, he was very happy. He took out 50 dollars and put it in the hat. However, the lottery ticket was also thrown in.
Later, someone asked the young man, “You play the violin in the railway station every day to make money. Why didn’t you just take the prize of the lottery ticket for yourself?” The young man said, “Although I don’t have much money, I live happily. But if I lose honesty, I won’t be happy forever.”

Modern zoos are different from old zoos of fifty years ago. In old zoos people could see animals from many parts of the world. The animals lived in cages. The zoo keepers(饲养员) took good care of them, but many of the animals did not feel well, and they often fell ill.
In modern zoos, people can see animals in more natural conditions(自然条件). The animals are free in larger places. Trees and grass grow in cages and water runs through the places. There is often a deep pool filled with water in it. In an American zoo, visitors can see some small animals and many birds when they walk through a big special cage, and it is large enough for the birds to live naturally.
Modern zoos not only show animals to visitors, but also keep and save rare(稀罕的) animals. For this reason, people in the future will still be able to enjoy watching these animals.

(1)There are all kinds of lakes in the world. Have you ever seen a lake of seven colors? If you don’t, you can go to Qinghai Lake. The lake shows different colors in different seasons and even different times of day. (2)This change is because of the water depth(深度).
(3)Qinghai Lake is also well-known for Birds Island. The island off the western beach is the size of several big playgrounds. (4)It’s home for 100,000 birds in spring and summer. Bird watchers(观看者) can enjoy better views there than in any zoo.

II. 任务型阅读（共5小题，计10分）
阅读下列短翻译，根据短文内容，完成表格。（每空填1-2个词）
What do you think of the most important inventions in the world? The TV? The printing? The telephone? Or the computer? A report shows that they are not the only important inventions. Here are three other important inventions.
One of the simplest inventions is the toilet(厕所). Before toilets, waste ran into rivers from people’s houses. Illnesses were common in big cities, and it was often difficult to find clean drinking water.
Animal food is another important invention. Before the invention, most animals were killed every autumn because there was not enough food for them in winter. After hay(干草) became a kind of common animal food, animals could live through the long winter.
The third great invention is glasses. Glasses help people read, write and do “close work” after the age of 45. Without glasses, the world would be difficult for the people above 45.
