Most students have biology classes in the classrooms or the labs in China．But several days ago，I had a biology class outside in my American schoo1．
My biology teacher，Mr.Kwak，divided us into three groups and asked us to play a game about natural selection(选择)and how birds find food．
He gave the first group one spoon per person，the second group forks and my group"knives．I thought we were going hunting，so knives might work better．Surprisingly，he told us to pick up the beans on the grass with our tools．
When the game started all of us ran to the grass area．We squatted(蹲)down and looked for beans．It was hard to pick up something that small，especially from the grass .
When I almost fired a bean，it dropped back to the ground．When I finally picked up several beans．one of my friends ran into me．I couldn’t keep my balance and fell over．All my beans dropped to the ground!Just at that moment，Mr．Kwak called us back．I had to leave the game and of course I got a bad result．I couldn’t help thinking that if I were a bird living on Galapagos Island，I would be dead soon．
The fun game made me realize that natural selection is redly competitive(竞争的)．Everyone is trying his or her best to—survive．

【小题1】What did the writer’s group use to pick up the beans?

A．Spoons．

B．Forks．

C．Knives．

D．Hands．

【小题2】How many beans did the writer get at last?

【小题4】What’s the meaning of the underlined word“survive’’in the last paragraph?

A．Find food．	B．Remain alive．
C．Be lovely．	D．Keep balanced．

     In the Caucasus Mountains, nearly 50 out of every 100,000 people live to celebrate their 100th birthday,
and many don't stop at 100! In American only 3 people in 100,000 reach 100. But these old people aren't alone.
The people who live high in the Himalaya Mountains and the Andes Mountains, seem to share the secret of long
life, too.
     First of all, hard physical work is a way of life for all of these long-lived people. They begin their long days
of physical work as children and never seem to stop. For example, Mr. Rustam is 142 years of age. He has
experienced several wars. His wife is 116 years old. They have been married for 90 years. Mr. Rustam doesn't
want to stop his work as a farmer. "Why? What else would I do?" He asks. Oh, he has slowed down a bit.
Now he might work for 6 hours in the field instead of 10.
     Another factor (因素) that may contribute (有助于) to the good health of these people is their isolation.
Most of them are kept off the modern world. Inherited (遗传的) factors also help. Most of the longest-lived
people had parents and grandparents who also reached very old ages. So good families genes (基因) may be
one factor in living longer.
     Finally, although these three groups don't eat exactly the same food, they eat little animal meat. Their diets
are full of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, cheese and milk. They never eat more food than their bodies
need.

1. Which of the following contributes to the good health of all these long-lived people?

A. Fresh air in the mountains.
B. Hard physical work.
C. Good family genes.
D. The same food.

2. What does the underlined word "isolation" mean in Chinese?

A. 自我封闭
B. 与世隔绝
C. 独立
D. 淡薄

3. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Good Health
B. The Old People in the Mountains
C. Long-lived People
D. The Secret of Long Life
