When I was a kid, I never had any problems watching some cartoons. It was so much fun and a great education(教育) too. Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Tom and Jerry were my idols(偶像). Even now I really feel that they are worth watching at any age.

The problem I’ve found is the cartoons at present. Some of them contain something ugly. Most of the time, they show such many terrible characters with violence(暴力)that you wonder what they really mean. Cartoons are supposed to be funny but they aren’t. If you are expecting to teach your kids good manners and behavior, then they are the worst for your kids to watch.

Kids often imitate what they see in cartoons. If your kid is a fan of such cartoons, he or she will follow his or her favorite cartoon character and try to do something extremely dangerous.

Therefore, try not to let your kids watch too many today’s cartoons. Make sure to keep an eye on what they are watching.

1.When the writer was a kid, he thought that the cartoons then were ________.

A. ugly and terrible　　　　　　　 B. funny but terrible

C. ugly and dangerous　　　　　　 D. funny and educational

2.The writer doesn’t like the cartoons at present because ________.

A. he is no longer a kid

B. they are bad for kids’ education

C. they are long and boring

D. they have ugly characters in them

3.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Everyone should only watch the past cartoon.

B. A large number of kids are crazy about cartoons now.

C. All the cartoons are bad for kids to grow healthily today.

D. Parents should stop their kids watching too many today’s cartoons.

The next time you take medicine when you’re ill, you may eat a cone snail(芋螺). At least that’s what some scientists are hoping. Scientists have found that cone snails can help with backache, as well as toothache and other body problems.

There are over 600 different kinds of cone snails. This family is especially found in warm and hot waters in the oceans. They catch and eat small fish and even other cone snails. The snails have venom that they’ll give out and use to kill small animals they have caught because cone snails are slow-moving. Sometimes the venom can even kill people. But some scientists have discovered that the venom can also be used as medicine.

The shells of cone snails are often brightly colored, and have interesting shapes, many people think the shells are so beautiful that people kill them, collect lots of shells, and sell them around the world. The environment is also very dangerous for them because of fishing and boating.

Scientists want to help save the cone snails. They hope to make new rules to stop them from dying. If they die out, scientists may never discover what kinds of medicines they can give us.

1.We can find a cone snail in ________ .

A. a warm river　　 　　 B. in a hot ocean
