My dad was a farmer in the Midwest and he spent his winters selling insurance. Dad could really talk up anyone and his favorite thing to do was find out their income. Once we were at Chicago's O'Hare airport. Dad was sitting with me as I waited for my flight to Fort Lauderdale. A Russian guy who sat down next to my dad could not speak a word of English but this did not stop my dad. He found out his business, how many children he had and of course how much he made.

I used to be a little embarrassed by this, but I changed later. It was in the last year of dad's life. As I was home visiting with my husband and twins and I was in the car with my mom, she told me a story about how she was in the doctor's office with dad and how he was his usual self-talking away to the others in the waiting room. She said he started talking to this young man in a wheel chair who could not talk, could not move his arms or head, really couldn't do anything. But dad was asking questions and got the young man to smile in response. And he carried on like that with the disabled man till he was called back to the doctor's office. When the young man and his father got up to see the doctor, the father of the young man came over and shook my dad's hands and said, "Thank you for speaking to my son. Most people just turn away when they see him.''

My father ended up dying later that month, a sudden heart attack. Fortunately, all the 9 children of his had been home that summer to visit. I told this story at his funeral（葬礼）. Truly, my dad was one who never knew a stranger.

Born in Oak Park, Illinois, on January 17, 1922, Betty White was the only child of Horace and Tess White. Indeed, while most young kids were begging their parents for pets, White said she was the lucky little girl whose parents went for a walk and would come home with a dog or a cat.

The personal passion for animals has often mixed with her professional work. She created, produced and hosted a 1971 animal show called the Pet Set, which featured both wild animals and her friends’ own pets. She also wrote the 2011 book Betty & Friends: My Life at the Zoo and even lent her voice to the animated series (动画系列) of Pound Puppies.

“I’m the luckiest person in the world—my life is divided in absolute half: half animals, half show business,” she said.

She started working with the Los Angeles Zoo in the 1960s. “My interest in zoos started early on, because my mom and dad went to the zoo often, not just to please their little girl, but because they enjoyed the experience,” she wrote in her book. She worked with the Los Angeles Zoo because she was kind of shocked that Los Angeles had such a poor zoo inside. She said, “I’ve never been one to stand outside and criticize (批评). I’d rather get inside and see what’s going on, see how I can help.”

“Zoos don’t only exhibit animals; they do a lot of wonderful protection work,” she said. “Many people have a closed mind on zoos. They think no animal should be kept in zoos. Instead, they should all be in the wild in their own habitat. Well, of course, that is a myth.”

1.White said she was lucky because __________.

A.she could often read books on animals

B.her parents often kept pets at home

C.her parents often took a walk together with her

D.she lent her voice to the animated series of Pound Puppies

2.What can we infer from the text?

A.Only wild animals performed in the show “Pet Set”.

B.White started working in a zoo several years ago.

C.Betty & Friends: My Life at the Zoo was written in 1971.

D.White’s interest in zoos was developed under the influence of her parents.

3.What did White do after seeing the Los Angeles Zoo?

A.She just stood outside to criticize.

B.She got inside and saw the animals.

C.She decided never to visit the zoo again.

D.She worked with the zoo and did something to help.

4.What is White’s attitude towards zoo?

A.Supportive. B.Indifferent (漠不关心的).

C.Hopeless. D.Disapproving.

While Charlotte Uhlenbroek loves the adventure, she is also glad to be back in “civilization”, at least for the moment.

She’s just finished filming a TV series called Jungle——a 19-week job that involved her exploring the dense jungles of the Congo, the Amazon and Borneo. She says that it was fascinating, but daunting as well. So what was her most challenging experience? “Definitely climbing an 80-metre-high tree in Borneo, when I’m scared of heights! I had to keep going up and up, when a voice inside me was saying, ‘Down! Down!’ I kept thinking the ropes were going to break and send me down below.”

And “down below” was where the bugs were——clinging, stinging, sucking beasts. Apart from the usual mosquitoes, in the Amazon rainforest she was troubled by sand-fly bites. “I’ve had some horrible bites but these really are the itchiest (痒的) bites I’ve ever had. At one stage, I counted 70 bites on one arm,” she says. “Just as annoying were the sweat bees in the Congo. They try to drink the sweat on your face and even the tears from your eyes. The most disgusting thing, though, was try to pull the leches (水蛭) off your skin. The more I pulled, the more they stretched and the tighter their jaws clung to my leg. I kept shouting, ‘Get them off!’ and the film crew kept saying, “Just one minute... this makes a really good shot!”

Back in London, what has she been enjoying since her return to “civilization”? “I’ve been having lots of nice, long showers,” she says. “In the Congo, the possibility of using up our water supplies was always a worrying thought. And I find that when I’ve been in hot, uncomfortable conditions for a while, the things I look forward to more than anything else are being with my family and enjoying my favourite meal.”

1.Why does Charlotte explore the jungles?

A.She enjoys taking adventures.

B.She wants to challenge herself.

C.She takes part in shooting a TV series.

D.She is interested in the jungle bugs.

2.What can we learn about Charlotte’s experience in the jungles?

A.She climbed tall tee with the help of ropes.

B.She once had 70 bites by the sweat bees in the Congo.

C.The mosquito bites were the worst bites she’d ever had.

D.The film crew helped her to get the leches from her leg.

3.What does Charlotte miss most when she was in the jungles?

A.Nice and long showers. B.Her family members.

C.Her comfortable bed. D.Her favourite snacks.

4.What can be the best title for the text?

A.The TV Series ---- Jungle B.Explore the Amazon Jungle

C.Return to the Age of Civilization D.What a Jungle Journey!

People depend on plants. We use plants for food, cloth, shelter (住处), and even the air we breathe (呼吸).

Plants keep our air and water clean. Green plants give us oxygen (氧气). Oxygen is part of the air we breathe.

Plants are also part of the water cycle (水循环). Most of the water that a plant takes in goes back into the air.

Plants give us a lot of the food on the earth. Fruits, vegetables, and grains (谷物) come from plants. Without plants, we would not have bread, rice, carrots, apples, oranges, or bananas! Many people are growing plants to eat in their own gardens at home. Having your own garden helps the earth as well.

When you grow your own fruits and vegetables, you help cut down on pollution because big trucks don’t need to take your food to shops. You also help reduce the amount of rubbish because you don’t need to use bags for packing your food. You can just pick it out of the ground or off a plant and put it into a basket!

Trees are an important plant resource (资源). Trees provide wood to build homes and furniture. Trees are used to make lots of things around your home and at your school. And trees provide fruits that are good for you. Without trees, the earth would be a very different place.

1.____________________is part of the air we breathe.

A.Sunlight B.Water C.Food D.Oxygen

2.What happens to most of the water that a plant takes in?

A.It goes back into the air. B.It stays in the plant.

C.It goes into the ground. D.It stays in the river.

3.What does the phrase “cut down on” mean in Paragraph 5?

A.Cause. B.Accept. C.Reduce. D.Expect.

4.What is the best title of the passage?

A.A Different Place B.The Uses of Plants

C.Food on the Earth D.Gardens at Home

5.You would find the passage in ____________________.

A.an interesting novel B.a book about animals

C.a popular play D.a book about nature

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

It was somewhere between spring and summer，my mom and I were driving through the countryside. Back then，I was 13 years old，and always felt unhappy with mom.But little did I know that this trip was going to be a special one.A pot of flowers sat in the back seat，whose heavenly scent filled the car.

Suddenly，in the middle of nowhere，my mom pulled over.”What are you doing?”I cried，fearing that the car had broken down and we’d be stuck there，so far from home.But that wasn’t the case.My mom hopped out of the car，grabbing the flowers from the back seat.”It’ll just be a minute，”she called back through the open windows.My eyes impatiently skimmed the edge of the road before settling on a little sign showing that it was a nursing home.I looked back to the building，somewhat annoyed，as my mom reappeared-empty-handed.

Before she started the car，curiosity drove me to ask，”Do you know someone there?”She shook her head.”Then what did you do with the flowers?”She smiled slightly，”I gave them to the receptionist.” “What?”She laughed at my confusion.”I told the receptionist to give the flowers to whoever needed them，especially who hasn’t gotten any in a while.”

I kept silent for a moment.Not long after we continued our driving，I spoke again，”Did you leave your name?”To this she answered instantly，”No.Leaving flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good，which is enough of a thank for me.”

Suddenly，still thinking about Mom’s deeds，I heard something burst loudly.It was our car that broke down! Nothing could be worse，because neither my mom nor I understood how to repair it，and we didn’t know where the garage was.It also seemed impossible to wait for any passer-by，since we had seen so few along the way.
