  There are many only kids in China．They have no brothers or sisters．They often feel lonely．so，finding a pen pal is a good idea.

  Some people like finding a pen pal on the internet or from magzines. The Internet and some magazines can help you find a pen pal. You need to tell them where you live，how old you are，what language you speak, and your hobby．Readers can choose their pen pals. They may live far away from each other．They may have different colors of skin．But they can know each other by writing．

  Life today is different from that before．People wrote letters to each other，but now people use e-mail，QQ or MSN to chat with their pen pals．These pen pals are often called not pals．

    Snake dishes have become popular in recent years．Snake meat is often seen in restaurants. It seems that eating snake is now in fashion and if you haven't eaten snake yet, you're considered “out of date。”

    But I wonder whether all of the trends(趋势)are worth following．

    Some people may defend(辩解)themselves by saying that eating snake is good for their health.But these people don’t find out that mice and worms are often in snakes' bodies，therefore,there are many parasites(寄生虫)found inside smkes．they may be bad for our health.

  Apart from this，we're sorry to see that more snakes are being killed by a butcher's(厨师的) knife.

    According to the English newspaper：Shanghai Star，about l000 tons of snakes are eaten every year in China．In Shenzhen of Guangdong Province，sometimes as many as 10 tons of snakes are served on dinner tables in a single day．

    If we still turn a blind eye to this，a vicious circle(恶性循环)will be created．if more snakes are eaten by people，the number of snakes will drop，but the number of mice will increase，which will result in a decrease(减少)crop output(产量)．

    This will make more people hungry．Who wants to see a tragedy(悲剧)happen?

    Therefore, let’s not eat snake any more．To protect the snakes is to protect  ourselves．

1．The writers thinks          ．

    A．eating snake meat is good for our health

    B．eating snake meat isn't bad for our health

3．In Shenzhen，as many as 10 tons of snakes are        ．

    A．often eaten in a month                       B．eaten in a day sometimes

    C．eaten in a single Day                         D．never eaten in a single day

4．Nearly         tons of snakes are served on dinner tables in a year in China．

    A．ten               B．ten hundred          C．ten thousand          D．one million

5．Why does the writer say that to protect snakes is to protect ourselves?

    A．Because snake meat is good for our health．

    B．Because snake skin can used to make many beautiful shoes，bags and clothes．

    C．Because eating snake is now in fashion．

    D．Because a drop in the number of snakes will result in a decrease of crop output．
