    An anxious mother watched as rescuers freed her baby from a muddy well. After being pulled from the well，the baby joyfully ran to its mom as the rescuers took a break.
    It was a difficult and potentially dangerous rescue: the baby was an 8-month-old elephant, and at first its mother thought the humans were trying to harm it. The baby elephant fell into the five-foot-deep well near Kenya's Amboseli National Park. Local people had dug the well for water.
    It took 30 minutes to remove the trapped elephant. While Vicki Fishlock of the Amboseli Trust for Elephants made a loud shout to frighten the mother away, two men struggled to get a rope around the baby elephant. Once the rope was in place, Fishlock used her jeep to pull the baby out.
    Fishlock recognized Zombe, the mother of the trapped baby elephant，from a mark on her ear. She believes that in the end Zombe realized the humans were trying to help.
    “Rescues where the elephant’s family members are around are always stressful, and I'm always happy when everyone is safe,” Fishlock said.“The reunions (团聚) always bring tears to my eyes. The depth of their love for each other is one of the things that make elephants so unusual.”
    The very next day, another baby elephant fell into the same well. The 3-month-old's family had been driven away from the area by local people. Once it had been rescued, the Amboseli Trust had to send it to an elephant orphanage (孤儿院) in Nairobi, Kenya's capital city.
    The rescues showed the plight of elephants across Africa. Elephants are fighting to survive, as conflicts between the animals and humans are increasing. Thousands of elephants are also being killed for their tusks. The tusks are sold in Asia, where ivory trinkets are in high demand.
    The Amboseli Trust has been studying elephants and trying to help them since 1972. Fishlock said, “We hope this rescue persuades people that elephants are special and deserve to be protected and treasured.”
    小题1:We can learn from the text that _____.
    A．Fishlock had seen the baby elephant before
    B．The mother elephant was a great help to rescuers
    C．the well was dug by local people to trap elephants
    D．the mother elephant was unfriendly at first to the rescuers
    小题2:What causes Fishlock to think that elephants are special?
    A．Their trust in humans. B．The deep love between them.
    C．Their great ability to survive. D．The good communication between them.
    小题3:What did the two baby elephants have in common?
    A．They were both 8 months old. B．They were both rescued by local people.
    C．They were both trapped in the same well. D．They were both reunited with their mothers.
    小题4:The underlined word "plight" in Paragraph 7 probably means“______”.
    A．a strong personality B．A dangerous situation
    C．an annoying habitD．a close relationship
    小题5:What would be the best title for the text?
    A．An elephant rescueB．The elephant, an unusual animal
    C．An elephant rescue organizationD．Conflicts between humans and elephants

    From their beginnings New England towns had a special democratic system of government. At a stated time all the citizens would assemble at a town meeting, where they would discuss local problems and express opinions freely. They also elected the town’s officials at these gatherings and made decisions about the taxes they would pay and about other community matters. These meetings were usually held at the town hall, which was located in the central square.
    In the eighteenth-century town meetings, only men who owned property and who were church members actually voted, although everyone present was allowed to express their opinions. Later, all citizens were allowed to vote. Thus the town meeting became truly democratic. Town meetings are still common in New England communities.
    In recent years the town meeting idea has been widely imitated. There are open sessions of this kind on radio and television. Occasionally a meeting of this type is called by a government agency in order to give an opportunity for free and open discussion on current problems and policies.

    It’s really a tough job for automakers doing marketing and sales in China, where competition is acute and customers have little loyalty. They have tried a range of tricks in recent years.
    But there should be a moral bottom line. Unfortunately, a Buick dealership used the tragedy of a two-month-old infant to advertise its cars last week on Weibo – Micro blog. And Hyundai Motor followed suit.
    On March 4, an SUV was stolen with the infant left inside alone in the northeastern city of Changchun. The news spread widely on Weibo after the baby’s father called the local police and radio station for help. The next day it was revealed that the infant was choked to death and buried in snow by the thief. The online community expressed its deeply felt sympathy and condolences.
    The Buick dealership posted a photo of the baby and two of its cars on its official Weibo account to advertise its GPS system that can locate the stolen car. “A few thoughts on the Changchun stolen car and baby incident: when buying a car it’s entirely OK to choose a brand with advanced technology,” said the post. Though the post was made before tragic fate of the infant was known, the action generated a storm of outrage on Weibo. Some online commentators said it is “marketing at the cost of lives” and “extremely despicable.”
    Worse was the post on Hyundai’s official Weibo account that advertised the anti – theft system on its new SUV Santa Fe, an entry made after the child was known to have died. The action also enraged micro bloggers.
    Both posts were soon deleted. The Buick dealership made an apology on Weibo to the family of the victim and the public. But screenshots saved by users continued to be posted and the negative impact on both brands persists.
    The two brands probably didn’t expect such a firestorm of fury from the Internet community, but they really made a big mistake sinking below the moral bottom line. They certainly ruined their own brand images.
    The Chinese have the same proverb as the English language – a little leak will sink a great ship. It takes decades to build the great ship of a respectable brand but it can take just a moment of negligence to make it fail completely.
    For those in corporate marketing, two lessons should be learned: first, be careful in the era of social media when one wrong can be easily magnified and have disastrous impacts in just a few clicks.
    Second and more importantly, think with your brain and heart. Never break the moral bonds of respect for human life and sympathy for our fellow man.
    小题1:Who is to blame for the tragedy of Changchun infant according to the passage?
    A．The baby’s fatherB．Buick and Hyundai dealership
    C．WeiboD．Not clear
    小题2:Which of the following statements is correct?
    A．The missing infant was found alive in the stolen car.
    B．Micro blog marketing of tragic infant death fuels firestorm of criticism.
    C．People can’t see the two posts any more because they were deleted.
    D．The two car brands mentioned in the passage spoiled their own reputation by selling the stolen car.
    小题3:What does the underlined word – “despicable” in paragraph 4 mean?
    A．ImmoralB．ImportantC．DistinguishedD．Considerable
    小题4:The reason why Hyundai’s post was worse than Buick’s is that _________.
    A．Hyundai dealership didn’t make an apology on Weibo
    B．Buick dealership expressed its deeply sympathy and condolences
    C．Hyundai’s post was made after people knew the infant had died
    D．Buick’s car was more advanced on its GPS system
    小题5:In the last paragraph, the author encourages people _____________.
    A．not to sink below the moral bottom line
    B．not to sympathize our fellow man
    C．to think twice before making decision
    D．to magnify the mistakes people make
