Working with them is fun, because you never know what they will come up with to surprise you.Remember when your mom used to cut up your food? Circe, a show dolphin, wont eat fish unless
24、 someone cuts the fins (鱼鳍) off. Diana Reiss, a scientist who worked with Circe, knew that. But one day she forgot.Reiss was training Circe to “stay at station“ in front of her. Every time the dolphin swam off, Reiss gave her a time-out by backing away from the side of the pool and standing at a dis
25、tance. When Circe stayed, Reiss fed her a piece of fish. But then she gave her a piece with fins by mistake.Circe looked at Reiss, spat(吐) out the fish, and swam across the pool. She took an upright position in the water and simple “stood“ there. Circe was communicating (交流) loud and clear. “I felt
26、as if I had gotten the time-out! “ says Reiss.Another dolphin, Pete, enjoyed his meals of fish served up by his trainer. But a wild bird started to show up at every feeding to steal some of the dolphins supper. Pete was definitely not happy about that.One day when Petes trainer gave him frozen fish,
27、 Pete let them sink to the bottom of his pool. Between shows he dived down and pushed eight fish up to the surface, and managed to keep all of them afloat. For five minutes, the bird watched anxiously. Finally, the bird took the bait. When it did, Pete caught the birds feet and pulled it underwater!
28、 Then took care of that little thief.56 Reiss would feed Circe a fish _.（A）before Circe gave a performance（B） when Circe followed the instruction（C） the moment Circe swam close to Reiss（D）each time Reiss left the side of the pool57 When Circe “stood“ there, what message did she try to send to Reiss?

30、 lesson59 The underlined words “took the bait“ in the last paragraph means “_“.（A）was fooled（B） took actions（C） made a decision（D）went out of the way59 The Northern Pike is a very bad fish. It is a big, hungry fish, and eats little fish. Many Northern Pike live in Lake Davis. They are killing all th
31、e smaller fish in the lake. The Northern Pike area serious danger to the lake because they eat all the smaller fish. Soon, all other kinds of fish in the lake will be killed off. This is not healthy for the environment (环境).Researchers are afraid that the Northern Pike will swim out of Lake Davis th
32、rough many smaller rivers that feed into the lake. They could spread all over the country and damage many other water environments. If that happens, it would be too late to stop the Northern Pike.For ten years, officials have been trying to remove the Northern Pike from Lake Davis. They have tried u
33、sing nets and poisons (毒). However, the Northern Pike population is still doing well in Lake Davis. Many people do not like the idea of using poison to kill the fish. They worry that the poisons are bad for humans who use the water. However, people havent found any poisons at all in local (当地的 ) wel

37、hern Pike is seldom heard of63 I was in my third year of teaching writing at Ralph High School in New York, when one of my students, 15-year-old Mikey, gave me a note from his mother. It explained his absence (缺席) from class the day before:“Dear Mr. McCort, Mikeys grandmother, who is eighty years of
38、 age, fell down the stairs from too much coffee and I kept Mikey at home to take care of her and his baby sister so I could go to my job. Please excuse Mikey and hell do his best in the future. P.S. His grandmother is OK. “I had seen Mikey writing the note at his desk. I said nothing. Most parental-
39、excuse notes I received were penned by my students. If I were to deal with them, Id be busy 24 hours a day. The writers of those notes didnt realize that honest excuse notes were usually dull : “Peter was late because the alarm clock didnt go off. “The students always said it was bard putting 200 wo
40、rds together on any subject, but when they produced excuse notes, they were excellent. So I decided to type out a dozen excuse notes and gave them to my classes. I said, “Theyre supposed to be written by parents, but actually they are not. True, Mikey?“ The students looked at me nervously.“Now, this
41、 will be the first class to study the art of the excuse note -the first class, ever, to practice writing them. “ Everyone smiled as I went on, “Today Id like you to write An Excuse Note from Adam to God or An Excuse Note from Eve to God. “ Heads went down. Pens raced across paper. For the first time
42、 ever I saw students so immersed (专心的) in their writing, they had to be asked to go to lunch by their friends.The next day everyone had excuse notes. Heated discussions followed. But suddenly I saw the headmaster at the door. He entered the classroom and walked up and down, looking at papers, and th
43、en said, “Id like you to see me in my office. “ My heart sank.When I stepped into his office, he came to shake my hand and said, “I just want to tell you that that lesson, that task, whatever the hell you were doing, was great. Those kids were writing on the college level. Thank you. “64 How did the

45、r do with the students found dishonest?（A）He reported them to the headmaster.（B） He lectured them hard on honesty.（C） He had them take notes before lunch.（D）He helped improve their writing skills.66 We can infer that when Mikey missed the class, he was（A）out enjoying himself（B） taking care of his ba
46、by sister（C） looking after his grandmother（D）studying the art of the excuse note67 What did the headmaster think of the authors way of teaching?（A）Effective.（B） Difficult.（C） Misleading.（D）Reasonable.67 Do you remember the Millennium (千禧年) Goals? When world leaders celebrated the year 2000 with a se
47、rious promise to reduce poverty (贫穷) and hunger, check the spread of AIDS, get boys and girls into school, and improve public health, all by 2015?Well, three years down the road, and the UNDPs yearly collection of facts and figures already shows that if we carry on as we are, the only goal likely to
48、 be met is that for reducing poverty by a half, and that is entirely due to the success of one country-China. It is so vast that the fast-growing economy in China lifts millions of people above the poverty line, even though in Africa, Latin America and the former Soviet Union, people have actually b
49、een getting poorer.Otherwise, progress is good only in parts. East Asia should meet its goal of reducing hunger by a half by 2015, and Latin America and the Caribbean are not far behind, but at the present speed of progress, Africa and South Asia wont get there for another hundred years.The good news is that it can be done-there are su
