Some people think pen is small, needless to say. They think pen isn't useful, especially in the modern life. But what are you holding in your hand while you are taking the examinations in your classroom? Right. A pen.
It is through the pen that our messages can be recorded and passed on. That is why we have been able to know our history. The pen has changed the history, improved the trade of countries, recorded events, carried news, and done far more work for human beings than all other tools. The moment our pen scratches on the paper, it seems as if our thoughts are floating like a boat, traveling on an unending journey around a much more colorful world.
Progress without it would have been almost impossible. The invention of the wheel, the introduction of steam engine, the use of electricity, all these have changed the lives of millions of people, but the pen has done more. It has taken away mountains, and it has prepared the way for all progress and development of the society.
In the past the pen did all the work if people wanted to keep any writing for some time. The lawyers took up their pens and wrote the law of the country from the days when papyrus (纸莎草纸) was first used. The most famous letters in the world were written with a pen. It was with a pen that the greatest thinkers of all time wrote down their thoughts.
The pen is very utilitarian. We cannot sign a bill or write a letter or buy a house without our pen. An agreement is worthless till our name is written with a pen. The writers encourage the world with it. The students take their examinations with it as well.
Our coming into the world is recorded with a pen. Before we have been at school, our name is written on the name list with a pen. We cannot be married till we have signed. A pen records the important events in our life.
Let us remember that we hold in our hand the most powerful instrument which man owns. The pen is a magic tool. While the lazy are trying hard to avoid the trouble of using the pen, the wise can hardly wait to make the best use of it to create a joyful and meaningful life. So whenever you use it, please enjoy it.
1.What is the writer trying to do in this passage?
A.Describe what a pen looks like. B.Introduce the history of the pen.
C.Advise people to prepare a pen. D.Show the importance of the pen.
2.The word "mountains" in Paragraph 3 probably refers to "something to ________".

Many people say dolphins (海豚) are intelligent (聪明的). They seem to be able to think, understand, and learn things quickly. But are they as smart as humans, or are they more like cats and dogs? Dolphins use their brains (大脑) quite differently from the way humans do. But scientists say dolphins and humans are alike in some ways. How?
Communication
Like humans, every dolphin has its own “name.” The name is a special whistle (口哨声). Each dolphin chooses a specific (特有的) whistle for itself, usually by its first birthday. Dolphins are like people in other ways, too. They “talk” to each other about a lot of things — such as their age, their feelings, and finding food. They also use a system of sounds and body language to communicate. Understanding dolphin conversation is not easy for humans. No one “speaks dolphin” yet, but some scientists are trying to learn.
Play
Dolphins are also social animals. They live in groups called pods (一群), and they often join others from different pods to play games and have fun — just like people. Scientists believe playing together is something only intelligent animals do. Dolphins travel together in groups known as pods.
Teamwork
Dolphins and humans are similar in another way: both species (种类) make plans for getting things they want. In the seas of southern Brazil, for example, dolphins use an intelligent strategy (策略) to get food. Dolphins sometimes help fishermen find food. When there are fish near a boat, dolphins signal (向……发信号) to the fishermen to put their nets in the water. Using this method, the men can catch a lot of fish. Why do dolphins assist (协助) the men? There is an advantage for them: they get to eat some of the fish that escape from the net.
1.What does the passage NOT mention?
A.How dolphins work together as a team. B.How dolphins play games and have fun.
C.How dolphins communicate with each other. D.How dolphins move quickly through the water.
2.How does a dolphin get its “name”?
A.It gets it from its mother. B.It gets it from scientists.
C.It chooses it for itself. D.Its father gives the name to it.
3.How do dolphins communicate with each other?
A.Dolphins don’t “talk” about their feelings.
B.Dolphins “talk” to each other about many things.
C.Dolphins whistle, but they don’t use body language.
D.Dolphin conversation is easy for humans to understand.
4.Dolphins and humans are similar in many ways because they________.
① play games in groups
② plan ways to do things
③ use their brains in the same way
④ communicate their feelings to each other
A.①②③ B.②③④ C.①②④ D.①③④
5.Why do dolphins sometimes help fishermen?
A.Dolphins are kind animals. B.The dolphins are afraid of humans.
C.The dolphins can get food that way. D.The fishermen ask the dolphins for help.
