It was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night. The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.
My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him. I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. I’m so glad I did.
On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape. After all, it was protected by the arms of a bay that only one tiny channel to the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big humps(脊背)in the distance.
On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldn’t believe it—there aren’t any whale along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.
The little baby whale actually as big as our boat was obviously stuck and could not move. The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools(漩涡)and waves. “She’s trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side,” my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and, heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. With several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swam up right beside its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, sometimes rising from the water right beside us to breathe and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.
In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day. Nearly four decades later, I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea.

Last week I went on an eco-travel with a travel agency.
All the way we enjoyed the beautiful scenery and f         air.
But a few of us picked flowers           going sightseeing.
Some even tried to catch some birds. What was          ,
many tourists t         rubbish here and there.
I don’t think this is an eco-travel. A true eco-travel is a tour
that not only a         us to express our love for nature, but
needs our          (责任) as well. As we enjoy the beauty of nature,
we should try our best to protect          . And we should also try to
protect wildlife. A true eco-travel should be           this:
take nothing away but your good          (记忆); leave nothing
b         but all the green trees and the clean water.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Hospital emergency rooms treat injured fingers all the time.Without treatment, a bad cut can lead to permanent damage.But how should a person know when a bleeding cut is serious enough to require medical attention?
Here are some tips from Dr.Martin Brown, chairman of the department of emergency at Inova Alexandria Hospital in Virginia.
1.Laceration (裂口)
The medical term for a cut or tear in the skin is a laceration.【小题1】  A long cut on a finger can likely be treated without a visit to a doctor if the wound is not very deep.However, if you have a short but deep laceration, you will need professional attention,
2.Fingertips cut off
Some injuries, like a fingertip that gets cut off, might even need surgery (外科手术) to repair.【小题2】 More often, cutting down the bone is what is done because reattaching a fingertip is often not successful.
3.Bleeding
 【小题3】  Small cuts usually produce what is known as venous (静脉的) bleeding.This means the blood flows steadily from the injury.The bleeding will often stop when pressure is put on the wound.In most cases holding direct pressure with a clean cloth for four to five minutes would do. But if a cut appears to be pumping blood out with some force, this may be a sign of arterial (动脉的) bleeding.__【小题4】_
Finally, always keep this in mind: even a cut that does not require medical attention must be kept clean to prevent infection.Small cuts should be cleaned gently with clean water._【小题5】  Then cover it with a clean, dry bandage.

A.How a wound bleeds can be a sign of how serious it is.
B.That requires a specialist to either cut down the bone or reattach the fingertip.
C.This kind of injury should be treated by a medical professional as soon as possible
D.The first signs of this disease include difficulty opening the mouth.
E.Use a washcloth to clean the area if the wound is dirty.
F.With a cut finger, holding the hand above the heart can reduce the loss of blood.
G The length is usually not as important as the depth.

For most Americans, a clean glass of water is just a faucet (水龙头) away. But for many of the world’s poorest people, it’s hard to get.
2 On Wednesday, the United Nations (UN) marked World Water Day by trying to cut the number of people without good drinking water — one billion human beings worldwide — in half. In the next ten years, the UN will work with governments around the world to reduce the shortage.
Without clean water nearby, many people use water that is not clean. In India, many people bathe and wash their clothes in rivers that are polluted by human waste.
According to the UN, not having enough clean water and sanitation (卫生设施) causes more than three million deaths a year.
“The links between water and human health are powerful,” said Dr Lee Jong Wook, director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO). “We cannot live without clean water.”
In fact, the International Federation of the Red Cross said that quick reaction after last year’s Asian tsunami (海啸) had stopped disease. The agency provided clean water to nearly 500,000 people in Indonesia and Sri Lanka after the tsunami.
World Water Day was first celebrated in 1993. Since then, it is celebrated each year on March 22.
