I really love this saying, “Love is endless and unlimited.” For me, there’s a story behind it. When I used to hand out chocolates with beautiful paper bags, my friends always told me, “You are wasting time and money. No one here believes in nameless gifts.” To be honest, I have noticed that people here do donate (捐赠)in temples. They give food to the poor, and provide clothes and other things for whoever is in need.
I think maybe I am the one who starts to think of the dogs in our neighborhood. When I moved into this new community, I noticed that there were two street dogs. They were wounded and homeless, and everyone used to stay away from them and hit them when they came any closer. They were becoming thinner and thinner and they would did of hunger sooner or later.
But my habit of loving dogs has changed all these things. I began to walk close to them and give them food regularly. When I touched their heads and gave love to them, I could see tears in their eyes. My friends noticed, and now even kids and elders in the community provide them with food and also love them. I am really glad to see that I saved their lives.
What I started will lead to beautiful memories with them. They enjoy playing with me and they even have a particular pose when they see me. I see a sparkle in their eyes and a smile on their faces. They are priceless for me.
1.Why did the author’s friends discourage him to hand out chocolates?
A. Because people didn’t need gifts.
B. Because it cost too much money.
C. Because people didn’t trust strangers.
D. Because dogs could not eat chocolates.
2.What did people think of the dogs in the community at first?
A. Lovely. B. Frightening. C. Exciting. D. Unpleasant.
3.How did people react to the author’s kindness to the dogs?
A. They laughed at him. B. They praised him for that.
C. They began to care for the dogs. D. They offered him food for the dogs.
4.How does the author sound when telling the story?
A. Pitiful. B. Sad. C. Honest. D. Proud.

My daughter had a bullying(欺凌) problem a couple of years ago. She kept receiving rude text messages from kids at school. Dealing with school bullying wasn’t easy, but I finally ended it. When you realize things are serious, it is no time to be silent.
If your kids are also receiving such text messages, take them directly to the headmaster and show him. Describe to him how it is affecting your kids. Tell him you will not tolerate it and that you want him to put an end to it now.
School bullying is a dangerous and serious issue these days, and any good headmaster will take your charges seriously. He will probably address the issues with the parents. If they are crappy(糟糕的) parents, then they may do nothing to their child. You may have to repeat this process several times, but you need to keep a check on those text messages and don’t allow your child to delete them.
Now it is time to draw your child close and take care of him/her, because he/she needs it. My daughter did not like me being involved either, but you are the only person your kid can depend on to solve this problem, so do it and mean business. Always be polite, but straightforward. The headmaster and parents must know you mean business.
If repeated meetings with the headmaster (and parents, if he allows it) do not work, then I would consider hiring a lawyer. That will send the message loud and clear. When you are talking about financial loss, most parents will stand up and take notice and act to keep their kids under control!
I know a lawyer is a big expense and not something you do lightly, but when bad things like school bullying are happening to your children, you must act and act quickly.
1.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “tolerate” in Paragraph 2?
A. mind B. discuss C. stand D. affect
2.What does the author suggest about school bullying in Paragraph 4?
A. Children can deal with it themselves.
B. Not all bullying problems can be solved.
C. Parents should fully respect kids’ thoughts.
D. It’s necessary for parents to be involved in it.
3.What should parents do if the headmaster fails to solve the bullying problem?
A. Ask a lawyer for help. B. Put your child under your care.
C. Meet the bullies in person. D. Ask the parents of the bullies for money.
4.Why does the author write the text?
A. To seek help. B. To offer advice.
C. To ask for advice. D. To share his experience.

Colorado officials will stick to a plan to kill some mountain lions and bears to support the state’s dropping mule deer (长耳鹿) population.
Wednesday’s vote permits organizations to kill up to 25 black bears and 15 mountain lions per year in the central and western parts of the state. The project will run for three years, to be followed by a six-year study of how deer populations respond to fewer predators(捕食者).
The population of Colorado’s mule deer has suffered a puzzling, years-long drop to about 450,000, which state officials said was about 110,000 fewer than there should be. A 2014 state study tied it to seven causes, including predators, whose number has greatly increased in recent years.
Some experts, however, said the state should focus first on the human-led destruction(破坏) of mule deer habitat(栖息地). “The drop of the mule deer population is obviously not a simple problem with simple causes,” Brian Kurzel, director of the National Wildlife Federation, said. “By far, the greatest problem—the one that I think deserves the most attention in any science-based study—is habitat quantity and quality.”
Kurzel pointed out that the U.S Bureau of Land Management recently agreed to create 15,000 new oil and gas wells somewhere in western Cororado, which was often called “the mule-deer factory”. There, the number of mule deer has fallen to about 30,000 from more than 100,000 in the early 1980s. Though state officials have known oil and gas development affects the population of mule deer, they didn’t go against the plan.
Other causes like building highways, population growth and human activities are also curbing the mule deer population, according to the study.
State Parks and Wildlife officials don’t necessarily disagree. They started a $4.5 million program as a way to gather research for later decisions.
1.Why do Colorado officials want to have so many mountain lions and bears killed?
A. To stop them hurting people.
B. To leave more habitat for mule deer.
C. To stop the mule deer population from dropping.
D. To help researchers carry out a three-year-long study.
2.What is the most important in protecting mule deer according to Brian Kurzel?
A. Protecting their habitat. B. Providing enough food for them.
C. Reducing the number of their predators. D. Asking the government to make an effort.
3.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “curbing” in the last but one paragraph?
A. limiting. B. ensuring. C. increasing. D. protecting.
4.What do State Parks and Wildlife official mean in the last paragraph?
A. Decisions will be made in one year.
B. Habitat loss is the main cause of the drop.
C. Human activities aren’t responsible for the drop.
D. It’s too early to say what exactly caused the drop.

Two years ago, our math teacher offered us an answer at a difficult math problem in class. Although an answer seemed a little strange, but only I doubted it. Thought that his answer might be wrong, I carefully considered the problem and tried to work them out in a different way. Half an hour late, I finally managed find its correct answer. When I showed the answer to him, the teacher praised me for my independence thinking.
From this experience I had already come to the conclusion whether questioning can serve as a bridge that helps us seek the truth.
