A bull bison(野牛)in Yellowstone National park charged at a 9-year-old Florida girl. Luckily, the girl was left with only relatively minor injuries. Eyewitnesses say that a group of around 50 people—including the unidentified girl—were standing within 5 ~ 10 feet of the bison for at least 20 minutes near Observation Point Trail before the animal decided to charge. "We saw through the trees some people petting the bison, super close,” Hailey Dayton, 18, an eyewitness who filmed the incident. " Because it was agitated by all the people and noise, it just attacked.''
In Yellowstone, there are about 4 ,500 bison, the nation's largest and most important bison population on public land. Yellowstone is the only place in the lower 48 states where free-ranging bison have lived continuously since prehistoric times, according to a statement from the National Park Service (NPS). The Yellowstone population is also significant for being one of the few herds(群)in the country that has not been inter- bred(杂交)with cattle.
While they feed primarily on grass, they can be aggressive if annoyed. " Stay 25 yards away from all large animals—bison, bighorn sheep, deer etc. —and at least 100 yards away from bears and wolves," the statement read. " If need be, turn around and go the other way to avoid interacting with a wild animal in a close distance. ”
Despite the presence of seemingly more dangerous animals such as bears and wolves, bison have injured more people in Yellowstone than any other creature. "This is what happens when you make fun of wildlife and pay no mind to an animal's personal space,'' Dayton wrote in a tweet. " This family was petting the buffalo before it charged. And as you can see the parents saved themselves over their daughter. That really put me off. ”
1.What does the underlined word "agitated" probably mean?
A.Amused. B.Released.
C.Comforted. D.Disturbed.
2.What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.The remaining population of bison. B.What Yellowstone means to bison.
C.How bison survived the hardships. D.Bison's living conditions in Yellowstone.
3.What is the NPS statement in Paragraph 3 meant to do?
A.To warn people not to tease bison. B.To inform readers of some large animals.
C.To persuade readers to protect the wildlife. D.To urge people to give bison enough space.
4.What is Dayton 's attitude towards the family's act?
A.Positive. B.Pitiful.
C.Unfavorable. D.Admirable.

Hawking was perhaps the most famous scientist in the world when he died in 2018 at age 76.His 1988 book，A Brief History of Time，sold ten million copies and made him an unlikely superstar even to people who sweated through high school science.
Humor was always a big part of Hawking’s effort to bring physics to the masses.In his 2010 book，The Grand Design，for instance，he recounts how，in 1277，the Catholic Church declared scientific laws such as gravity to be wrong，since they seemed against God's idea.“Interestingly，”the text adds jokingly，“Pope John was killed by the effects of the law of gravity a few months later when the roof of his palace fell in on him.”
Hawking was only 21 when he was diagnosed with the disease ALS.For most people，the condition would have been a disaster.But Hawking rolled over hardship as if it were just a pebble under his wheelchair.“Life would be tragic，”he once said，“if it weren’t funny.”He kept smiling even though he spent more than 50 years in a wheelchair.
“He loved adventure and fun，”says Mlodinow，who once took Hawking on a punt-boat trip down the fiver Cam in Cambridge，England，despite the obvious danger of the boat turning over.“You know about when he went on the Vomit Comet? It’s a plane that flies in a parabolic(抛物线的)path so you are weightless，like you are in space.A lot of people vomit，but he loved that sort of thing.”And he was 65 at the time.
Hawking’s greatest hit，humor-wise，was probably the cocktail party he threw in 2009.It was a“welcome reception for future time travelers，”he said，so naturally，he sent out the invitations the day after the party.No one showed up yet.“Maybe one day someone living in the future will find the information and use a wormhole time machine to come back to my party，proving that time travel will one day be possible，”Hawking explained.And if that happens，don’t be surprised if Hawking is there too.After all，he never missed a chance to have fun.
1.What does the text mainly tell us about Hawking?
A. He related physics to humor closely.
B. He made great contributions to physics.
C. He went through many funny experiences.
D. He was optimistic about the future of science.
2.What can we learn about Pope John?
A. He was not in favor of God.
B. He was a scientist like Hawking.
C. He was opposed to the law of gravity.
D. He was killed due to the discovery of gravity.
3.What drove Hawking to go on the Vomit Comet?
A. His fondness of adventure.
B. The invitation from his friend.
C. The requirements of his work.
D. His desire for recovery from ALS.
4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The cocktail party was a great success.
B. The possibility of time travel was not proved.
C. Hawking was a man who enjoyed holding parties.
D. The wormhole time machine was used at that time.
