【题目】Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题)

Not many years ago, some farmers were worried because hawks were taking many of their chickens. The farmers did not know what to do. Finally, they went to the officials and asked for help.

"Kill the hawks."the officials said we'll even pay you for them. So the farms began to think of ways to kill hawks.

The farmers killed many hawks. They no longer had to worry about their chickens. But now had a new worry. Field mice were eating up a lot of the farmers' grain.

Hawks eat not only chickens but also field mice. They eat more field mice than chickens.But the farmers did not know this. When they killed a lot of hawks, they changed the balance of nature.

When people move into a new place, they often destroy many wild plants, Omen these plants are food for the animals. If the animals cannot find enough plants to eat, they will starve(饿死) and have to leave the place.

In one part of the United States, for example, the deer there like to eat a certain kind rose. The mountain lions there eat the deer. The number of deer, mountain lions and wild roses not change much if people leave things as they are.

But people killed many mountain lions in order to protect the deer. Soon there were so many deer that they ate up all the wild roses. Then the deer began to eat the green leaves of young trees. These trees were important to the farmers, So the farmers thought of ways to protect their trees. Now the deer had nothing to eat, and many of them died. This was another lesson from nature.

【题目】Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage(选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文)

How often do you let other people's rude actions change your mood? Do you let a bad driver or an impolite waiter make your day in a mess? However, the mark of your wise reply to the actions is how quickly you can come back to smiling to them. Sixteen years ago, I learned this __________ at the back of a taxi in New York.

We were driving fast in the right lane (车道)when suddenly, a black car jumped __________ a parking space right to front of us. My taxi driver stepped on the brake(刹车)as hard as possible, and at the last moment our car stopped just one inch from the back of the other car.

I couldn't believe what happened next. The driver of the car turned his head around and started shouting bad words. But then here's what really __________ me. My taxi driver just smiled and waved(挥手致意) at the guy. I said, "Why did you just do that? This guy nearly killed us!" He told me what I now remember "The Law of the Garbage(垃圾)Truck."

He said, “Like garbage trucks, many people run around full of garbage, full of anger, and full of regret. __________ their garbage increases more and more, they look for a place to pour it. If you let them, they'll pour it on you. So when someone wants to pour it on you, don't feel hurt. Just smile, wave, and move on. You will be happier.”

I started thinking: how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and __________ it to other people? Then I knew clearly what I should do.

I began to see Garbage Trucks. I see the bad __________ people are carrying. I see them coming to pour it. And like my taxi driver, I don't feel hurt. I just smile, wave, and move on.

【题目】Choose the best answer(根据短文内容,选择最恰当的答案)

Below are some suggestions given by the English children posted on the website about how to help Africa. Which one do you think is the best?

I think health is the most important thing. We need to make sure that the money we give is spent wisely. The money should be spent first on clean water supplies and better health care.

-----Robin, aged 16, Birmingham

I think the most important thing is to improve the education of the African countries. There is an old saying,"If you give a man a fish, you'll feed him for a day. If you teach him how to fish, you'll feed him for a lifetime." We need to help people to help themselves, not just throw money at the problem when it appears.

-----Rebecca, aged 15, Liverpool

People seem to give a lot more money to charity when there is a sudden, huge disaster (灾难) like the earthquake. It's good for people to do so, but I also think that everyone should give a small part of their salary (工资) to charity. If everyone did that, it would make a big difference.

-----Mary, aged 14, Stratford-on-Avon

Giving money to charity can help, but it's not the final answer. I think what these countries need is a good government.

-----Bethany, aged 16, Newcastle

The best thing we can do is to send experts like engineers, doctors and teachers to help the people to help themselves.

-----Robert, aged 16, Cardiff
