The days of the hunter are almost over in India. This is partly because there is practically nothing left to kill, and partly because some steps have been taken mainly by banning tiger-shooting to protect those animals which still survive.

Some people say that Man is naturally a hunter. I disagree with this view. Surely our earliest forefathers, who at first possessed no weapons, spent their time digging for roots, and were no doubt themselves often hunted by meat-eating animals.

I believe the main reason why the modern hunter kills is that he thinks people will admire his courage in overpowering dangerous animals. Of course, there are some who truly believe that the killing is not really the important thing, and that the chief pleasure lies in the joy of the hunt and the beauty of the wild countryside. There are also those for whom hunting in fact offers a chance to prove themselves and risk death by design; these men go out after dangerous animals like tigers, even if they say they only do it to rid the countryside of a threat. I can respect reasons like these, but they are clearly different from the need to strengthen your high opinion of yourself.

    The greatest big-game hunters expressed in their writings something of these finer motives. One of them wrote:

“You must properly respect what you are after and shoot it clearly and on the animal’s own territory (领地).You must fix forever in your mind all the wonders of that particular day. This is better than letting him grow a few years older to be attacked and wounded by his own son and eventually eaten, half alive, by other animals. Hunting is not a cruel and senseless killing — not if you respect the thing you kill, not if you kill to enrich your memories, not if you kill to feed your people.”

I can understand such beliefs, and can compare these hunters with those who hunted lions with spears and bravely caught them by the tail. But this is very different from many tiger-shoots I have seen, in which modern weapons were used. The so-called hunters fired from tall trees or from the backs of trained elephants. Such methods made tigers seem no more dangerous than rabbits.

There is no more hunting in India now partly because ________.

       A. it is dangerous to hunt there                          B. hunting is already out of date

C. hunters want to protect animals                      D. there are few animals left to hunt

The author thinks modern hunters kill mainly ________.

       A. to make the countryside safe                         B. to earn people’s admiration

C. to gain power and influence                          D. to improve their health

What do we learn about the big-game hunters?

       A. They hunt old animals.                                 B. They mistreat animals.

C. They hunt for food.                                      D. They hunt for money.

What is the author’s view on the tiger-shoots he has seen?

       A. Modern hunters lack the courage to hunt face-to-face.

B. Modern hunters should use more advanced weapons.

C. Modern hunters like to hunt rabbits instead of tigers.

D. Modern hunters should put their safety first.

Scott Langteau has this message for kids: Spend less time playing video games.

    It’s a message that many a mom and dad have tried to impress upon many a youngster (and some not-so-youngsters) who spend perhaps a bit too much time with game controllers in hand.

    But the 40-year-old Langteau isn’t a parent. He’s experienced at video games – one who played producer on three “Medal of Honor” games and co-founded his own game development company.

    Langteau has just published a children’s book called Sofa Boy, which tells the story of a kid who spends too much time sitting on the couch with controller held in hand and the rather terrible consequences that follow.

    It’s a fairy tale picked straight from Langteau’s own experiences as a lad with a fondness for video games and his painful struggle against game addiction. But first, Langteau would like to make one thing clear: I’m not saying that you shouldn’t play video games. I think video games are great; I think they do great things for kids. Instead, Langteau says his book is all about a little something called “moderation ”. “Anyway, you’ve got to stop before going too far.”

    “It’s all about being well rounded,” he says. “Just like with anything else, we all need to make sure that there’s a variety in what we do.”

    Video gamers can be rather bad-tempered when it comes to accepting criticism about their favorite entertainment. After all, most people who go round talking about the dangers of playing video games tend to be outsiders – people who don’t play video games and certainly don’t understand that they can be a valuable and healthy form of entertainment.

    But Langteau and Sofa Boy seem to be a unique position to deliver a message of gaming moderation that the young game masses might actually listen to. After all, this is a man who understands what it means to be a kid with passion for games. His early experience has taught him a lesson.

45. Scott Langteau published Sofa Boy to _______.

      A. share his great skills on games     

       B. warn kids against game addiction

      C. tell about his fairy tale as a kid             

       D. deliver a message for games

46. Which of the following is true of the book Sofa Boy ?

      A. The book tells of the writer’s own story．

      B. The book describes an experienced gamer.

      C. The boy in the book wins a medal for games．

      D. The boy in the book is not an addict on games

47. The underlined word “moderation” in paragraph 5 probably means _______.

       A. impression       B. entertainment          C. limitation        D. variety

48. What topic will be discussed in the following paragraph?

A. His idea to create Sofa Boy.

B. His great achievement in games as a kid.

C. His hard times to set up his game company.

D. His enthusiasm for games when he was a boy.
