     It's easy to see how the sawfish got its name. These frightful creatures can grow to be more
than 6 meters long. Their bodies are flat and winged, like underwater airplanes. And their noses
are shaped like chainsaws.
     Sawfish are food hunters of the sea. When a sawfish is hungry, it waves its sharptoothed snout
(口鼻部) through a group of fish. Then, it lifts its nose and uses its mouth to draw the injured victims.
     Hardy (适应力强的) population of sawfish thrived in warm waters along coastlines around the
world for thousands of years. Over the past 200 years, however, human actions have severely
endangered sawfish. Threats include fishing nets that trap the huge animals, often by mistake.
     Some people collect sawfish's snouts as prizes: One snout recently sold for nearly $1,600 online.
In some Asian cultures, the toothy snouts are used in ceremonies to drive evil and disease away. And
sawfish are also delicious. A growing demand in Asia for the fish's fins for a pricey soup has contributed
to the fish's disappearance. Compared with other fish, sawfish give birth late in life and at slow rates,
which makes it hard for them to recover from overfishing.
     New efforts now aim to restore sawfish population. Beginning next month, an international agreement
will provide protection for all seven of the world's sawfish species. Scientists are hoping that it's not too
late to save the sawfish.
     "Until 1998, this fish had never been formally studied in the United States," says Tonya Wiley of the
Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, FIA."We didn't know such basic things as where they live, what
habitat they use, how often they breed, how many young they have- even what age sawfish are when
they begin breeding."
     Through historical studies and field research, scientists have become aware of how much the fish's
numbers have decreased. Today, there may be 90 percent fewer sawfish than there used to be. Wiley
estimates that only 3,000 to 6,000 sawfish remain in US waters.

     If Confucius(孔子)were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday
with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles.He'd need a fan or a strong wind to help
him put them out.
     While many people in China will remember Confucius on this special day, few people in the
United States will give him a passing thought.It's nothing personal.Most Americans don't
even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
     But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius.In many ways he has
become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding
of China.
     In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in
Western universities.More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes
in more than 80 countries.These schools teach both Chinese language and culture.The main
courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学).Some
social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese
wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy.Students in the United
States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese.So they will be ready for life in a world
where China is an equal power with the United States.Businessmen who hope to make
money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.
     So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well.
     Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce
Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.
     As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his
birthday is.

     When The Grapes of Wrath(愤怒) was published on March 14, 1939, it created a national
sensation(轰动) for its description of the destructive effects of the Great Depression(大萧条) of the
1930s. By the end of April, it was selling 2,500 copies a day-a remarkable number considering the
hard economic times. In May, the novel was a number-one best-seller, selling at a rate of 10,000
copies a week. By the end of 1939, close to a half million copies had been sold.
     John Steinbeck was shocked by the tremendous response to his novel. Almost overnight, he found
himself involved in a great national debate over the migrant labor problem. Many people were shocked
by the poverty and hopelessness of the story, and others denied that such circumstances could happen in
America. Even people who had never read a book before bought a copy of The Grapes of Wrath. At $2.75 per copy, it was affordable and quickly sold out.
     However it was banned and burned in Buffalo, New York; East Saint Louis, Illinois; and Kern
County, California, where much of the novel is set. In fact, the novel remains one of the most frequently
banned books in the United States. The book was criticized sharply in Congress by Representative Lyle
Boren of Oklahoma, who called the novel's description of migrant living conditions a lie. Charges were
made that "obscenity"(淫秽) had been included in the book in large part to sell more copies. Eventually,
First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt stepped in to praise the book and defend Steinbeck against his critics. In
1940, the novel won the Pulitzer Prize.
     The popularity of the novel has endured(持久). It is estimated that it has sold fifteen million copies
since its publication. For almost sixty years, Steinbeck's novel has been a classic in American literature;
it has been translated into several languages, including French, German, and Japanese. The Grapes of
Wrath has also been a necessary part of the school curriculum in America since the end of World War II.

     Kataria  is the founder of the worldwide laughter  movement.  The  celebration  of World Laughter Day is a positive activity for world peace and is intended to build up a global sense of brotherhood and

     Young adult filmmakers all hope to show their works in international festivals like Sundance
and Toronto. But what about really young filmmakers who aren't in film school yet and aren't,
strictly speaking, even adults?
     They are at the heart of Wingspan Arts Kids Films Festival, tomorrow, in a setting any director
might envy: Lincoln Center. Complete with "red carpet" interviews and various awards, the festival
has much in common with events for more experienced moviemakers, except for the age of the
participants: about 8 to 18.
     "What's really exciting is that it's film for kids by kids," said Cori Gardner, managing director of
Wingspan Arts, a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area. This
year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and
one from a middle school in Arlington, Virginia. "We want to make this a national event," Ms. Gardner
added.
     The nine shorts to be shown range from a Claymation biography of B.B. King to a science fiction
adventure set in the year 3005. "A lot of the material is really mature," Ms. Gardner said, talking
about films by the New York City branch of Global Action Project, a media arts and leadership-training
group. "The Choice is about the history of a family and Master Anti-Smoker is about the dangers of
secondhand smoke." Dream of the Invisibles describes young immigrants' feelings of both belonging
and not belonging in their adopted country.
     The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown. These include a
music video and full-length film whose title is Pressures.

     You may know your mother, but how well do you really know Mother's Day? Cards, flowers, sales,
TV specials, and a day off for someone who really deserves it -those are what probably come to mind
for many people when they think of Mother's Day. But there's more to the story.
    The earliest Mother's Day celebrations were held during spring in ancient Greece. The celebrations
honored Rhea, the Mother of the gods. During the 1600's, England celebrated a day called Mothering
Sunday. On this day even servants were given the day off to spend with their families. A mothering cake
was even served with the family meal.
     In the US, Mother's Day began in 1872 when Julia Ward Howe, who wrote the words to the famous
song The Battle Hymn of the Republic, suggested it as a day devoted to peace. But it didn't really become popular until 1907 when Anna Jarvis stared a campaign to honor mothers. She believed that mothers
could help people get over the pain they experienced during the Civil
     War. The US isn't alone in devoting a day to mothers. Many other countries including Denmark,
Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, Japan, and Belgium also honor their mothers in May. Other countries
honor their mothers at different times of the year.
     Learning more about Mother's Day and celebrating Mother's Day are important, but probably not as
important as understanding what your own mother, or grandmother, or aunt has really done for you. And
that will certainly be appreciated more than one day in a year.
1. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The reason why people celebrate Mother's Day.
B. The ways people honor mothers.
C. The history of Mother's Day.   
D. The great contribution of mothers.
2.  Where was the earliest Mother's Day celebrated?
A. In ancient Greece.
B. In the US.
C. In England.
D. In Italy.
3. We can learn from the passage that _____.
A. Rhea is the mother of a king in ancient Greece
B. not all the countries celebrate Mother's Day in May
C. only mothers were given a day off on Mothering Sunday
D. it was in 1872 that Mother's Day really came into being
4. The last paragraph tells us that _____.
A. all the people should celebrate Mother's Day
B. only mothers are honored on Mother's Day
C. understanding mothers' work is more important than just celebrating Mother's Day
D. people should celebrate Mother's Day every day
