以下是某个英语杂志有关专家对一些读者反映问题的建议:

A. Feel Grateful!

You say you’re thankful, but then dismiss your mom’s investment as an “obligation”. By today’s economic standards, what she did is virtually miraculous. Tell your mom plainly, over and over again, how grateful you are. I’m sure the complaining will begin to fade.

B. Tame the beast!

    When one boy discovers his inner caveman, he likes to initiate others into the tribe. Don’t over-worry. Boys will be boys. You and your husband should meet the boy’s parents down the street, suggesting a plan to either tame the wild beasts or limit their time together.

C. Good effort and goodwill makes it!

    Maybe there was a reason why your buddy was out of work. He’s taking advantage of you and your employer. Remind him how to act on the job. He owes good effort and goodwill if he accepts the pay. Tell him to be quiet or get away.

D. Calm down!

    Fast vehicles and wild people---sounds like adolescent dreams to me. As some men age, they compensate with bigger, faster toys. But he’s putting you at risk and breaking the law. In a calm moment outside the car, tell him that he is scaring you. Suggest he join a car club, one that promotes safe driving.

E. Move your line away!

    You say you’re “in the middle”, but I’d say you’re dangerously close to slipping off the edge. There are lots of fish in the sea; why drop your line in waters your friend is still fishing?

F. Speak out and breathe easily together!

    You are rebuilding a relationship with new trust and affection. If there’s a bad odor left from the old day, you need to clear the air. Mention the problem, and say, “I’m sorry for my part in that argument.” I’ll bet she’ll say the same.

以下是一些读者在生活中反映的问题。请匹配问题及对应的建议。

56. Allan: My friend Jim was out of work and I helped him find a job in my company. But recently I have found he is very lazy and doesn’t do his work well. Besides, he often tells me that our employer is too bad.

57. Mary: Cathy and I were good friends. But two years ago she moved and left me because we had an argument. Now I hear she has come back to this town and lives about a mile away. I hope to visit this old friend, but I really don’t know what to do.

58. Mrs. Green: My eight-year-old son used to be obedient. But recently he’s become wild and crazy like a barbarian and doesn’t want to stay at home. My husband and I get worried. Now I find he likes to play with another boy who is also a barbarian.

59. Mike: I live with my mother, who works night and day so that she can support my schooling. I’m grateful but sometimes I get even more annoyed because she seems to be always unsatisfied with me and complains about my faults.

60. Eileen: My friend Jim is a helpful young man, and he has taken me downtown in his car several times. But every time he drove his car so crazily that I felt horrible. “I’ve got used to driving fast,” he says.

In many countries today, laws protect wildlife. In India, the need for such protection was realized centuries ago.
About 300 B.C. an Indian writer described forest that were somewhat like national parks today. The killing of game beasts was carefully supervised(监视). Some animals were fully protected.Within the forest, nobody was allowed to cut timber(wood for building), burn wood for charcoal(炭), or catch animals for their furs. Animals that became dangerous to human visitors were caught or killed outside the park so that other animals would not become uneasy.
The need for wildlife protection is greater now than ever before. About a thousand species of animals are in danger of extinction, and the rate of extinction was about one species every fifty years from A.D. 1 to 1800, but now it is about one species every year. Everywhere, men are trying to solve the problem of protecting wildlife caring for the rapid growth of the world’s population.
【小题1】 In forest of ancient India __________.

  Most people think of a camel as an obedient(驯服的)beast of burden, because it is best known for its ability to carry heavy loads across vast stretches of desert without requiring water. In reality, the camel is considerably more than just the Arabian equivalent(等同物)of the mule. It also possesses a great amount of intelligence and sensitivity(敏感).

  The Arabs say that camels are so acutely aware of injustice (不公平)and ill-treatment that a camel owner who punishes one of the beasts too hard finds it difficult to escape the camel's revenge(报仇). Apparently, the animal will remember an injury and wait for an opportunity to get revenge.

  In order to protect themselves from the vengeful(报仇的) beasts, Arabian camel drivers have learned to trick their camels into believing they have achieved revenge. When an Arab realizes that he has excited a camel's rage(愤怒), he places his own garments(外衣)on the ground in the animal's path. He arranges the clothing so that it appears to cover a man's body. When the camel recognizes its master's clothing on the ground, it seizes the pile with its teeth, shakes the garments angrily and steps on them in a rage again and again. In the end, after its anger has died away, the camel leaves, believing its revenge is completed. Only then does the owner of the garments come out of hiding, safe for the time being, thanks to this clever trick.

(1)Which of the following is mentioned in this passage?

[  ]

A.The camel never drinks water.

B.The camel is always violent.

C.The camel is very sensitive.

D.The camel is not used any more.

(2)From this passage we can conclude that ________.

[  ]

A.camels are generally kind towards their owners

B.camels are as stupid and sensitive as mules

C.camels don't see very well

D.camels try to punish people who ill-treat them

(3)The writer makes the camel's vengeful behavior clear to the readers by presenting

[  ]

A.a well-planned argument

B.a large variety of examples

C.some eyewitness accounts

D.a typical incident

(4)which of the following is TRUE?

[  ]

A.A man who punishes a camel too harshly has to play a clever trick on it.

B.a camel is very clever.

C.A camel is dangerous for its owner.

D.The camel tramples the garments violently in the face of the owner of the garments.
