A wise man was walking from one town to another with a few of his followers, and they happened to pass a lake. So

they stopped there to 1 for a while, and the wise man said to one of his followers, “I am very 2 . Could

In almost every big university in the USA, football is a favorite sport. American football is not like soccer. Players

sometimes kick the ball, but they also throw the ball and run with it. They try to take it to the other end of the field.

They have four chances to move the ball ten yards. They can carry it or throw it, If they move it to the end of the filed,

they receive six points. This is called a touch down.

It is hard to move the ball. Eleven men in the team try to stop the man who has the ball. If the man does not move the

ball ten yards, his team kicks the ball to the other team.

Each university wants its team to win. Thousands of people come to watch. They all yell for their favorite team. Young

men and women called cheerleaders come on the field to help the people yell more. They dance and jump while they yell.

Each team plays ten or eleven games each season. The season begins in September and ends in November. If a team is

very good, it may play another game after the season ends. The best teams play again on January 1, the first day of the

New Year. Many people go to see these games and many others watch them on TV.

In front of my daughter, Shelly, was a bowl filled with cabbage. She hated cabbage. She only sat there in silence with

tears in her eyes.

“Shelly, my dear, why don’t you eat a little? If not, your mum will shout at us.”

Shelly didn’t feel happy. “OK, dad. I will eat, just a little.” Then Shelly said, “Dad, if I eat it all, will you give me what I

want?”

“Yes.”

Slowly she began to eat. It took her almost half an hour to finish all the food in the bowl. Then she came up to me and

said, “Dad, I want to have my hair cut off!”

“Shelly, why don’t you ask for something else? If we see your head like that, we’ll feel very sad,” I said.

“But Dad, you promised! Now you’re going back on your words. ”

I had to keep my promise. Shelly had all her hair cut off. She smiled.

On Monday morning, I took Shelly to school. Just when I arrived, a boy got out of a car and shouted, “Shelly, please

wait for me!”

Guess what? The boy had no hair, either.

“Sir, your daughter is great!” a man got out of the car and said, “This boy is my son, Harish. He has cancer. He lost his

hair when he got ill. Shelly cut hers off so Harish felt less different. She is a special girl.”

It's a common belief that over time, pet owners start to look like their animals. Now comes the terrifying

news that cats look up to their owners as role models and copy their behaviour.

Next time you reach for your fridge, think twice. If your cat is watching, she will probably overeat as well.

In a new study from the University of Messina, it turns out that indoor cats who live closely to their owners “mirror”

the lives of their caregivers. They sleep at the same time, eat at the same time, and can even become more or less social

depending on the behaviour of their owners.

“Cats are clever animals with a long memory,” Jane Brunt, director of the Catalyst Council, told Discovery News.

“They watch and learn from us, noting the patterns of our actions, knowing where their food is kept and what time to

expect to be fed, how to open the cupboard door that's been improperly closed, and where their feeding and toileting

areas are.” Because cats copy our habits, if you spend a lot of time raiding(

搜刮

)the fridge, your cat will return to its

food bowl for that midnight snack, too. According to the study, this explains why “human and cat overweight rates often

seem to match”

．

There's no word if drinking green tea and making sure you go to yoga will benefit (

使受益

) your cat, but based on

the study, it sounds like sticking to a healthy eating and sleeping habit is best for both of you.

There's a lot we can learn from our cats in return. “When they sit softly breathing , eyes halfclosed, the sense of

peace and calm that comes over us is like a private less on in inner meditation(

冥想

)

，

”Brunt said. They're probably

pretty good at remaining calm.

So, according to science, though we think that cats are not close to us all these years, it turns out they are in fact

learning from us and looking up to us. Scary, huh?

To remain peaceful.

To stay hungry.

Mei Qiyue, 13, of Chongqing, leaves her dorm(

寝室

) early every morning and doesn’t return until late at night. She

feels stressed in the dorm. “My roommates look down on me. When I say something, they never agree with me.

Sometimes, they even laugh at me together,” said Mei. “The dorm is like hell. I want to leave the moment I walk in.”

Mei is not alone. Many middle school students lave such problems. Plans, opinions and other small differences can

create conflict(

冲突

). “Most teenagers are the only child in the family where they are the ‘King’ or ‘Queen’. They can’t

stand other kids’ different ideas, so conflicts between them come out in the dorm,” said Sun Yunxiao, a professor in

Beijing.

According to Sun, roommate relations are important in schools, and students should be serious about them. He suggests

that students should be patient, sincere(

真诚

) and cooperative in dealing with their roommates.

Zou Ming, 14, of Shanxi, and his roommates didn’t clean their dorm for a long time during their first semester. “Later,

we began to hate each other because nobody would clean,” said Zou. “One day, we had a dorm meeting. At the meeting

we discussed the problem seriously and decided each other of us would clean for a week.” After the meeting, they

cleaned the dorm for the first time together, and the boys have become good friends.

“I think we should take care of the dorm like our family and our roommates like our brothers,” said Zou. “Only in this

way can we have a happy dorm like and make lifelong friends.”

1

A

B

．

Because she thinks her roommates always look down her.

C

．

Because the condition of her dorm is very poor.

D

．

Because she is too shy to talk with anybody.

2

．

What makes students in dorms have conflicts, according to Professor Sun?

A

．

That they want to be the only one in the dorm.

B

．

That they hope to study in dorms rather than in classrooms.

C

．

That they are not used to hearing different ideas.

D

．

That they haven’t learned how to care about each other.

3

．

What was the original problem in Zou Ming’s dorm?

A

．

No one cleaned the dorm.

B

．

They hated each other.

C

．

They had no similar interests.

D

．

They didn’t help each other.

4

．

What problem does the story mainly talk about?

A

．

Students can’t make friends easily in a new school.

B

．

Chinese middle school students are not really to be independent.

C

．

Keeping good roommate relations is not easy for some students.

D

．

Students still need their parents’ help even when they are in middle school.

5

．

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A

．

Mei Qiyue’s roommates enjoy laughing at her, because she is different.

B

．

Most teenagers will be the “Kings” or “Queens” of our country.

C

．

Students should take roommate relations seriously.

D

．

Zou’s brothers should take care of the dorm with him.

It was summer in Russia. My goal there at the Ozernaya River was to take photos of brown bears as they caught

fish.

During the first few days, I was mainly watching different bears to see which ones would be the best to take pictures of. I

usually saw about 10 to 15 bears at a time, but as many as 600 living near came to this river when the salmon(

鲑鱼

) were

swimming there to lay their eggs. I put my camera underwater and then waited for bears to move near.

I never moved towards them – I let them choose whether to come closer. Over time, the bears were used to my being

there. But if a bear started moving its head from side to side. I knew it was time for me to move away.

It’s no easy task for a 1300-pound bear to catch a fish. Bears areclumsyunderwater and salmon are fast. But bears are

smart enough to catch a sick fish.

Soon I saw a bear doing just that. He was moving slowly towards a fish. After several tries, the hungry bear managed to
