In some parts of Holland the land lies so low that the people have to build great walls of sand and earth, to keep out the sea. These walls are called dykes(堤坝).
Sometimes the water from the sea break down these walls, and then the sea rushes in through the beach, and spreads over the land.
Houses and trees, cows and sheep, have been thus washed away, and many people drowned(溺水).
Once, when a little boy was going home in the evening, he saw a hole in one of the dykes, through which the water was flowing(流出）.
His father had often told him that when this happened, unless the water was stopped it would soon make the bole so big that the sea would flow over the land.
At first he thought he would run home and tell his father. But then he said to himself," It may be dark before father can come, and we shall not be able to find the hole again. Or it may get so large that it will be too late to stop it. I must stay now, and do the best I can alone.
The brave little boy sat down, and put his hand in the hole, to keep back the water. There he stayed, hour after hour, in the cold and the dark, all through the night!
In the morning, a man came past and saw him. He could not think what the boy there. So he called out to him, “What are you doing there, my boy?”
“There is a hole in the dyke,” said the boy,“ and I am keeping back the water.”
Poor little boy! He was so cold and tired that he could hardly speak.
The man came quickly and set him free. He got the hole closed up, and thus the land was saved--thanks to the brave little Hollander!

2.Why did the boy stay and stop the hole alone?

Dolphins are my favorite animals. They live on fish, shrimps (虾) and so on. They are mammals (哺乳动物). Their babies are born in the water. They can grow up to three meters and a half as their parents. Dolphins live in groups and speak to each other in their own language. But they are quite different from almost all land animals. Their brain is as big as humans’, so they are very clever. People often train them so that they can give dolphin shows which can bring people lots of happiness and joy. Dolphins can live a long life—at least 20 or 30 years. Like some other animals, dolphins use sounds to help them find their way around. They also use these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. So sound is like their eyes and mouths. They do not use their ears to receive sounds, but use the jaws (下颚)- the lower part of the mouth.
Dolphins are friendly and peaceful. They never hurt people. Instead, they have saved many people in danger. For thousands of years, there are many stories about dolphins and humans. In the 19th century, in a dangerous part of the sea near New Zealand, there was a dolphin. The seamen liked him very much and gave him a very good name, Jack. From 1871 to 1903, Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. In1903, a passenger on a boat with the name of “The Penguin” shot and hurt Jack. Luckily, the dolphin didn’t die, and after a long time, he was well again. He guides the boats through the area for nine more years, but he refused to help the boat “The Penguin”.
Unluckily, the number of the dolphins is getting smaller and smaller today. Some people still kill dolphins for money. If we don’t protect them, maybe we will lose our good friends one day. As a student, I hope more and more people should take action to protect dolphins.
根据短文内容，判断下列句子正误。正确的用“A”表示，不正确的用“B” 表示。
1.Dolphins are not only fish but also mammals.
2.Dolphins use their jaws to receive sounds.
3.Jack is a name of a seaman.
4.At last, Jack didn’t help the ship “The Penguin” any more.

Do you know that in some parts of the world, people build temporary（暂时的）hotels made of snow and blocks（大块）of ice? These are known as ice hotels.
Unlike usual hotels, all the rooms in the ice hotels are made of ice. In some ice hotels, even the glasses for drinks are made of ice blocks. So they only serve cold drinks. Also, hot food is not served in the ice hotels, but guests can eat hot food at places nearby.
To keep warm, guests sleep in comfortable sleeping bags on ice blocks that are covered by mattresses（床垫）and reindeer skins（驯鹿皮）.
There are some places in the ice hotels that are heated, such as the bathrooms. This is because, even though it is not as cold in the ice hotels as it is outdoors（在户外）, indoor temperatures are still very low.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about the ice hotels is that they are rebuilt every year. They can be used only during the winter months. The ice hotels melt（融化）away when spring arrives. The ice blocks used to build these hotels are from nearby rivers. So, when the ice hotels melt away, they melt back into the rivers.
1.According to the passage, ice hotels ______.
A. are found everywhere B. do business in summer
C. are made of glass D. are made of snow and ice
2.Which of the following about the ice hotels is true?
A. They are just like usual hotels.
B. The glasses are made of wood.
C. They serve cold drinks.
D. The rooms are made of bamboo.
3.You can’t see ______ in the ice hotels.
A. hot food B. reindeer skins
C. sleeping bag D. mattresses
4.Why are bathrooms heated in the ice hotels?
A. Guests want to eat in them.
B. Indoor temperature are very low.
C. Guests ask the hotels to do that.
D. It is as cold indoors as it is outdoors.
5.What happens to the ice hotels in spring?
