It was early spring. The sun was strong and warm. I went over the hillside fields behind my village,    36    buntings and linnets, the birds I loved most.

I turned along a bush between two fields where I had seen the birds before, but on this fine day almost the first birds that I saw were winter visitors. I was    37    not to see a bunting straightaway, but I went on, stopping occasionally to look at the black-thorn (黑刺李) flowers in the bush, and    38    I did hear a bunting singing. Or was it? Was I not perhaps turning a note of skylark (云雀) song into that of the song I was hoping to hear?

But the bunting’s song was pretty clear, and within a few minutes I was proved

   39   . The song was coming from the bush, and as I approached    40    I saw the brown bird resting in a small tree. It opened its mouth, and    41    once more. Then it flew off. It was the only one I saw that day, but at least I had found one of the birds I had

   42   .

It was not until I was on my way back home that I caught sight of some    43   . I saw five of them gathering on the ground when I was just coming back beside the

   44    where I had found the bunting. As I came nearer, they flew up, spreading their tails so that their white edges    45    to look like a white fan in the sky. Then, to my

   46   , some big pigeons suddenly came flying and joined the linnets.

A moment later they had all    47   — but I had fulfilled my hopes for the day.

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.”

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

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.

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.

4.The underlined word "plight" in Paragraph 7 probably means“______”.

A.a strong personality                      B.A dangerous situation

C.an annoying habit                       D.a close relationship

5.What would be the best title for the text?

A.An elephant rescue                     B.The elephant, an unusual animal

C.An elephant rescue organization            D.Conflicts between humans and elephants

   As many as one in five US teenagers have some degree of hearing loss, according to researchers.

They say the problem is growing.

   Teenagers really don’t pay attention to how much noise they are exposed (暴露) to, Josef Shargorodsky of Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston told Reuters. “Often people won’t notice it, but even slight hearing loss may affect language development,” said Shargorodsky, one of the researchers.

    The study compared surveys from the early 1990s and the mid-2000s. Each included a few thousand teenagers. In the first survey, about 15 percent of teenagers had some degree of hearing loss. Some 15 years later, that number had risen by a third, to nearly 20 percent.

    “This certainly is big news,” said Alison Grimes, an ear doctor. Hearing loss is very common in old people, Grimes said, but she added that it was worrying to see it happen in the younger age group.

    In babies and young children, hearing problems are known to slow language development. The science is less clear for teenagers, but it is easy to imagine how being hard of hearing could affect learning, said Grimes,.

    The reasons for the rise are still unclear. When researchers asked teenagers about noise exposure – on the job, at school or from activities, for example – the teenagers didn’t report any change. But Shargorodsky said that might not be true. “We knew from before that it is difficult to ask this age group about noise exposure – they underestimate (低估) it.” Few people would call it noise when they listen to music on their MP3 player, for example. “There is a difference between what we think is loud and what is harmful to the ear,” said Grimes.

    Although it’s not clear that the MP3 players cause teenagers’ hearing loss, Grimes said it was still a good idea to turn down the sound and take short breaks from listening.

1.According to the researchers, in a US class of 40 students, about ____ students have some degree of hearing loss.

A. one              B. five             C. six           D. eight

2.Which of the following statements is true according to the article?

A. Slight hearing loss does not influence learning.    

B. Only a few old people have hearing problems.

C. Hearing problems can slow language development.  

D. Noise exposure is clearly noticed by teenagers.

3.About hearing loss, it can be inferred that ________.

A. the reasons for the rise have been found           B. MP3 players are to blame

C. listening to loud music may be a cause            D. noise is the main reason

4.The article was written to ______.

A. warn teenagers that loud music might be harmful

B. explain what kinds of noises might affect studies

C. suggest that teenagers shouldn’t listen to loud music

D. show how important hearing can be for learning

My dad was never the kind to offer many words of love or encouragement. But we knew he loved us... he just had his own way of showing it.

    When I was a teen, we were seasonal campers at a family campground almost an hour outside the city where we lived. Each family had their own campsite with water and electric, and you basically parked your camper there from May through October. Most "Seasonals" visited them every weekend during those months, with the occasional weeklong stay. There were plenty of other kids who camped seasonally each weekend, and they came to be some of my closest friends. Of course, many of them were boys.

    We kids paired up with our little boyfriends or girlfriends, and we'd hold hands as we'd walk around the campground. We'd play ping-pong, have some snacks, and play songs. Most weekends were pretty similar, but the couples would change. You'd see so-and-so with a different so-and-so than they were with the weekend before. You know how it is when you're a teen — a three-week relationship is a really long time.

    So, needless to say, my teen years were spent with quite a few different boys. But every single one of them had something in common... they'd all received The Evil Eye.

    The Evil Eye was a magical sort of thing. One simple look from my dad, and the boy immediately knew not to mess with me. It was as if he could send his warnings through invisible laser(激光)beams that shot directly from his eyes to the boys' brains.

    "You will not put your hands on my daughter... You will not kiss my daughter... You will not even whisper sweet nothings into my daughter's ear."

    I remember one night in particular, walking with a boy around the campground after dark. We came from one direction, and my dad from the other. The boy and my dad locked eyes for a brief second, then the boy dropped my hand like a hot potato and turned away, giving me a quick, "See ya later."

    Yes, the Evil Eye. Best way ever to keep wandering teen boy hands away from your daughters.  

1.The Evil Eye in the passage implies that _____.

A. Dad gets angry easily                    B. Dad’s eyes are like evil’s

C. Dad’s eyes are ugly-looking              D. Dad’s eyes are protective to his daughter

2. The underlined words “mess with” in paragraph 5 most probably means _____.

A. make untidy          B. cause trouble            C. get married to       D. talk to

3. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. As teenagers, we went camping every weekend.

B. We made lots of friends during the seasonal camping.

C. We had regular boyfriends or girlfriends and enjoyed ourselves.

D. The boy dropped my hand and turned away because he loved The Evil Eye.

4. It can be inferred from the passage that the author _____.

A. is a teenage girl who loves her father

B. is a teenage boy who hates his father

C. is now an adult who has come to understand her father’s love

D. used to be a naughty boy who changed girlfriends now and then
