Sometimes we wish that we could have more time. The good news is that this year will be longer than the previous! Although don’t get excited just yet, because if you blink (眨眼), you may just miss it. That’s because 2015 will be one second longer than 2014 －also known as a leap second (闰秒). And surprisingly, they are pretty common. But why do we need them?

Over the centuries, Earth has been slowing down. This means that we must keep changing our clocks to keep in step with Earth’s time. We’ve all heard of leap years. Our calendars hold 365 days in a year. Yet Earth takes slightly longer to orbit the sun. So we save this time and every 4 years we have an extra day in February.

As for the leap seconds, the International Earth Rotation Service (IERS) manages the global time, known as the atomic time(原子钟时间). This is the timekeeping that’s used for every single country.

To keep up with Earth’s time, they add a second every now and then. They’ve been doing this since 1972. And this year will be the 26th second they’ve added!

It’ll be added just before 8:00 a.m. on July 1 Beijing time. So you will see 7:59:60 on July 1.

Although adding a second sounds harmless, it can have negative effects. In 2012 when a leap second was added, it caused problems for companies like social networking sites Reddit and LinkedIn. As they weren’t prepared for the change, it caused their computers to record errors.

1.Why does a leap second have to be added in some years?

A. Because this year is shorter than the previous one.　　 B. Because we need to have more time.

C. Because the Earth is slowing down.　　 D. Because it can help make a leap year.

2.In a leap year, there is an extra day in_____.

A. January　　 B. February　　 C. March　　 D. December

3.In order to keep up with Earth’s time, how many seconds have been added until last year?

A. 43　　 B. 42　　 C. 26　　 D. 25

4.What’s the negative effect of adding a leap second?

A. It makes the day longer than the previous one.　　 B. It causes some recording errors for companies.

C. It makes people stay up late.　　 D. It does harm to people’s health.

In the town of Lampang in northern Thailand, there is an unusual group of musicians. They play many different kinds of music—from traditional Thai songs to music by Beethoven. Both children and adults love this group. What makes them so popular? Is it their music? Their looks? Yes, it's both of these things, but it's also something else：they're elephants.

These musical elephants are from the Thai Elephant Conservation Center （TECC）in Lampang. The TECC protects elephants. It teaches people to understand and care for these huge, but gentle, animals. And, like many zoos around the world, the TECC encourages elephants to paint.

Richard Lair works with the TECC. He knew that elephants hear better than they see. So he had an idea：if elephants are intelligent and they have good hearing, maybe they can play music. To test his idea, Lair and a friend started the Thai Elephant Orchestra. During a performance, the elephants play a variety of instruments, including the drums and the xylophone. The animals also use their voices and trunks to make sounds.

But can elephants really make music properly? Yes, says Lair. they’re very creative. Humans may encourage the animals to play instruments, but the elephants make their own songs；they don't just copy their trainers or other people. There are now CDs of the group's music, which make money for the TECC. And the music these artists create is pretty amazing.

1.What can be the best title for the passage?

A.Musical Elephants

B.An Introduction to the TECC

C.Richard Lair's Achievements

2.What does the underlined word "them" refer to in the passage?

A.Musicians. B.Children. C.Adults.

3.What can be inferred（推断） from the passage the passage ?

A.Richard Lair started the Thai Elephant Orchestra by himself.

B.The elephants in the TECC can only play traditional Thai songs.

C.The CDs of the Thai Elephant Orchestra are popular with people.

4.The writer wrote this passage to _______.

A.ask people to save the elephants

B.invite more people to join the TECC

C.introduce the elephants' special talents to people

5.Where can we most probably read this passage?

A.A medical newspaper.

B.An animal magazine

C.A story book

Once there were many thousands of Gourma Desert (沙漠) elephants in Mali, a country in West Africa. Now, there are fewer than four hundred.

Why did the number of the elephants drop so quickly? On the one hand, the elephants’ main lake, their only water source (来源), dried up. On the other hand, the land which the elephants lived on was overused by humans.

To protect the elephants’ living environment, the Mali Elephant Project (MEP) was started in 2007. MEP met with local people and helped them make rules of using land and water. As a result, the situation became better and there was more food, forest and grassland.

However, from 2012 to 2016, poaching (偷猎) and illegal trade in the elephants increased rapidly. Eighty-three elephants were lost in 2015 alone, and another fifty-one elephant were killed in 2016. “If this situation goes on, all the Gourma elephants will be killed by 2020,” said a member of MEP.

Luckily, the voice of MEP was heard. More organizations (组织) have joined together to educate the local people that trading elephants is against the law. Elephant poaching has dropped to a very low level. The local people have learned to live peacefully with the elephants, one of the wildlife treasures in the world.

1.MEP was started to ________.

A.raise more elephants in Mali B.stop the main lake from drying up

C.discover water source for elephants D.protect the elephants’ living environment

2.What does the word “illegal” in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese?

A.公平的 B.亏损的 C.非法的 D.合理的

3.Eighty-three elephants were lost ________.

A.in 2012 B.in 2015 C.in 2016 D.in 2020

4.We can learn from the last paragraph that ________.

A.the number of organizations has dropped B.there is much less elephant poaching now

C.the local people keep the elephants at home D.the whole world live peacefully with elephants

5.This passage is mainly about ________.

A.the rules of using land and water B.the education of the local people

C.the work of Mali Elephant Project D.the situation of Gourma Desert elephants
