That would need the fakes to be good. But Fritz Vollrath, a zoologist at Oxford University and his partners from Fudan University have come up with a cheap and easy-to-make fake horn that is very similar to the real thing.

The main material of Dr. Vollrath's fake horn is horsehair. Although horses and rhinos look different, they are closely related. Horses do not have horns, of course, but neither do rhinos. The "horns" of rhinos are not made of bones but hairs. The hairs are tied tightly together by a mixture of dead cells. Examinations under a microscope showed that hairs from horses' tails are similar to those in the horns of rhinos.

So how can a fake rhino horn be made? First, find out the right materials. Second, a proper glue should be used. Dr. Vollrath and his partners get a special kind of glue. It is naturally produced by spiders and silkworms. Third, the glued horn is put in an oven to dry. At last, after some polishing, the fake horn looks just like a real one.

DNA would certainly tell the fakes but people's eyes are not able to tell the differences. So by making fake horns, people may help save more rhinos.

【1】Rhino populations are in danger because____________.

A.they become seriously illB.rhinos have a lot of pressure

C.fake rhino horns may fool peopleD.rhino horns can be sold at a good price

【2】The Chinese meaning of "relieve” in Paragraph 1 is____________.

A.缓和B.重复C.加剧D.消灭

【3】The underlined word "those" in Paragraph 3 refers to_

A.tailsB.horsesC.hairsD.examinations

【4】There are ____________steps to make a fake rhino horn according to the passage.

A.threeB.fourC.fiveD.six

【5】The writer's opinion about the fake rhino horns is that

A.people have to make fake rhino horns to save rhinos.

B.it's expensive and difficult to make the fake rhino horns.

C.people make the fake rhino horns to make lots of money.

D.the fake rhino horns are completely the same as the real ones.

I don’t think we can accept all the glory and the money that comes with being a famous athlete and not accept the responsibility of being a role model, of knowing that kids and even some adults are watching us and looking for us to set an example.

I love being a role model, and I try to be a positive one. That doesn’t mean I always succeed. I’m not saint (圣贤的). I make mistakes, and sometimes I do childish things.

But you don’t have to be perfect to be a good role model, and people shouldn’t expect perfection. If I were deciding whether a basketball player was a positive role model , I would want to know : Does he influence people’s lives in a positive way away from the court(球场)? How much has he given of himself, in time or in money, to help people who look up to him? Does he display the values ——like honesty and determination ——that are part of being a good person?

Kids have lots of other role models——teachers, movies stars, athletes, even other kids. As athletes , we can’t take the place of parents , but we can help reinforce（巩固）what they try to teach their kids .

Constantly being watched by the public can be hard to stand at times. I don’t think most people can imagine what it’s like to be watched that closely every minute of every day.

But the good things about being a role modeloutweighthe bad , It’s a great feeling to think you’re a small part of the reason that a kid decided to give school another try instead of dropping out or that a kid had the strength to walk away when someone offered him drugs . But one thing I would encourage parents to do is to remind their kids that no matter which athletes they look up to, there are no perfect human beings. That way, if the kid’s heroes should make mistakes, it won’t seem like the end of the world to them.

【1】The author of this article holds the opinion that

A.a famous athlete ought to set a good example to the public

B.a famous athlete needn’t be a role model if he doesn’t want to

C.a famous athlete can’t deny being a role model

D.it’s hard to be a role model

【2】According to the author, a positive role model

A.can win more money and fame

B.are not allowed to make mistakes

C.are the most important examples a child can follow

D.can have some positive influence on people’s follow

【3】The underlined word “outweigh” in the last paragraph probable means

A.A good role model can stop children taking drugs .

B.Kids usually expect too much of their role models

C.Dropping out of schools and taking drugs are the two most serious problems American kids face .
