On a sunny, spring day, a group of children, four to seven years old, sit on their bicycles. They wear helmets to protect their heads and gloves to protect their hands. Their mothers, standing nearby, watch them closely. The children are ready to learn how to ride. Rachel Varn still remembers how she felt riding a bicycle for the first time. She says, “It is probably the biggest confidence booster (提升). It gives kids such a sense of independence and self-guidance.” Now, her job is helping children experience that moment.
Rachel Varn left her job of selling bicycles to become a trainer for bicycle riding last year. She founded Pedal Power Kids to teach bicycle education. Before starting a ride, she teaches the children how to make sure the bicycles are in good condition for safe use. She calls it “ the ABC quick check.” “A” is for air. she explains, “We have to check out tires before we ride. “B” is for brakes. We want to make sure our brakes work before we find ourselves at the top of a hill about to go down. And “ C ” is for chain.” She says the chain must be clean.
The rest of the training is more fun. The children learn riding skills, from balance and pedaling to turning, starting and stopping. And they learn to keep their eyes up and look ahead while riding. Varn says many children struggle to do this. They look down at the pedals insteađ. She adds, “ Obviously that doesn’t allow them to see what’s going on around them, and it doesn ’t allow them to turn properly either.” Varn says watching where you are going helps you turn easier.
Learning to ride a bicycle can open a whole new world to children. It gives them a sense of accomplishment and freedom. They become more sensitive to their surroundings and better able to make safe, smart decisions going from one place to another. Varn’s goal is to get more children on two wheels. She says, “ That’s really a great way for kids to be active and develop healthy habits. It helps reduce pollution and just keep families and communities connected. ”
1.Racher Varn’s Current job is ______.
A.Looking after preschool children B.selling bicycles on the Internet

2.What does “ the ABC quick check ’’ refer to?

3.Looking down at the pedals while riding a bicycle ______.
A.makes the rider forget to brake B.makes turning more challenging
C.helps increase the speed of riding D.helps the rider be aware of the ground condition
4.From the last paragraph, we can learn about ______.
A.what Varn ’s goal is
B.what being a trainer means to Varn
C.what the benefits of learning at an early stage are
D.what learning to ride a bicycle means to children

One spring morning many years ago, I had been searching for gold on southeastern Alaska’s Kupreanof Island, and as I came out of a forest, I froze in my tracks. No more than 20 paces away was a huge Alaskan timber wolf—caught in one of Trapper George’s traps.
Old George had died of a heart attack, so the wolf was lucky I had happened along. Confused and frightened at my approach, the wolf backed away, straining at the trap chain. Then I noticed something else: It was a female, and her teats (乳头) were full of milk. Somewhere there were some hungry pups (狼崽子) waiting for their mother.
From her appearance, I guessed that she had been trapped only a few days. That meant her pups were probably still alive, surely no more than a few miles away. But I suspected that if I tried to release the wolf, she would turn aggressive and try to tear me to pieces.
So I decided to search for her pups instead. After several moments, I spotted paw marks on a trail. I finally spotted the den (狼窝). Wolf pups are shy and cautious, and I didn’t have much hope of luring them outside. But I had to try. So I began imitating the high-pitched squeak of a mother wolf calling her young. No response. A few moments later, after I tried another call, four tiny pups appeared.
They couldn’t have been more than a few weeks old. I extended my hands, and they tentatively suckled at my fingers. Perhaps hunger had helped overcome their natural fear. Then, I took them to their mother. Possibly picking up the smell of her young, the mother wolf let out a high-pitched, sad call. The pups raced to her. Within seconds, they were drinking milk at her belly.
The mother wolf was clearly suffering, very weak. I had to find her something to eat. Yet each time I moved in her direction, a growl (怒吼) rumbled in her throat. With her young to protect, she was becoming very cautious. If I could only win her confidence, I thought, it was her only hope.
Over the next few days, I divided my time between prospecting and trying to win the wolf's trust. I talked gently with her, throwing her some meat. Gradually, I kept edging closer — though I was careful to remain beyond the length of her trap chain.
At dusk on the fifth day, I delivered her dinner. Suddenly, I saw a slight wagging of her tail. I moved within the length of her chain. She remained sill. As a towering man, my heart was in my mouth, though. Within her reach, I wrapped my blanket around myself and slowly settled onto the cold ground. It was long before I fell asleep.
The next morning, I slowly placed my hand on the wolf's injured leg. Unexpectedly; she made no threatening move. Then I applied pressure, the trap sprang open, and the wolf pulled free.
My experience told me the wolf would vanish into the woods quickly. But cautiously, she crept toward me and sniffed my hands and arms. This went against everything I'd ever heard about timber wolves. Yet, strangely, it all seemed so natural.
1.How did the author feel when he saw a huge wolf?
A.Scared B.Cold.
C.Surprised D.Confused.
2.What happened to the mother wolf?
A.Its heart was attacked. B.It was trapped by the chain.

C.Managed to find the wolf babies. D.Tried to comfort the mother wolf.
