It has been said that Lincoln was always ready to join in a laugh at himself. There is one particular story that he always told with great delight.

In his early days as a lawyer, Lincoln went from town to town to hear and judge legal(法律的)cases. During one of these trips, he was sitting in a train when a strange man came up to him. The stranger looked at the tall clumsy(笨拙的)lawyer and said that he had something he believed belonging to Lincoln. Lincoln was a bit puzzled. He had never seen the man before. He didn’t see how a total stranger could have something of his. Lincoln asked how this could be. The stranger pulled out a penknife and began to explain.

In most people's opinion, the tiger is not an animal that we would ordinarily think of as being chicken. However, one tiger, which lives in an English zoo, turned out to be more cowardly（胆小的）than his keepers could ever have imagined.

Tanvir, a two-year-old Bengal tiger, got stuck at the top of a new 5m-high activity tower in the zoo, after climbing it for the first time.

The wooden tower had been designed to provide mental exercise for Tanvir by testing his ability of dealing with troublesome situations, but after climbing it in just a few seconds, he lost his courage when it came to coming back down. Tanvir went on to spend nearly two days at the top of the tower trying to collect the courage to attempt to get down.

A spokesperson for the zoo said that several days before Tanvir had taken half an hour to get down a lower tower only 1.5m high, and the taller tower had clearly been too much challenging for him.

"Every time he got to the edge, he looked out, put a paw over, and thought, ‘no, I cannot make it!" ’laughed Samantha Cordrey, Tanvir's keeper. In the end Tanvir's hunger defeated his fear, and after almost 48 hours he made his way down. Burying himself in a big meal just like a hungry pig, Tanvir seemed to forget such a shameful experience for a while.

It appears that his experience would not be the worst in Tanvir's life if he continued to act like a chicken. It is not known whether he will take courage to go back up his exercise tower again.

The whole episode（插曲）only serves to show the difficulties faced by zoo staff in creating environments that will improve animals' living ability in enclosed space.

1.When speaking of Tanvir's shameful experience, Samantha Cordrey might feel it was　　　　 .

A. funny　　 B. surprising　　 C. exciting　　 D. unbelievable

2.What made Tanvir get down the 5m-high activity tower at last?

A. The coldness of the weather.　　 B. The direction from his keepers.

C. The sufferings of being hungry.　　 D. The fear of being alone.

3.Why does the author say "this experience would not be the worst in Tanvir's life if..."(Paragraph 6)?

A. Because Tanvir's keepers will design more difficult exercise for him.

B. Because Tanvir is so cowardly that he has little courage to meet greater challenges.

C. Because Tanvir's bad health will bring him much trouble in practice.

D. Because Tanvir is always careless and often causes trouble by accident.

4.The zoo designed the 5m-high activity tower to　　　　 .

A. make Tanvir become brave　　 B. improve Tanvir's performance skills

C. let tourists watch Tanvir better　　 D. improve Tanvir's living ability

Who would win in a fight, a lion or a tiger? Well, if size has anything to do with the matter, the tiger would win. That’s because tigers are the largest of all cat species. 1. They can dash as fast as 40 miles per hour for short distances and leap as far as 30 feet. You may not think that such large, fast, and fierce tigers need help to survive, but they do.

At the start of the 20th century, there were over 100,000 tigers living in the wild. By the turn of the century, the number of tigers outside of catch decreased to just over 3,000. Interestingly, the most serious threats that tigers face come from a much smaller species, one with an average weight of around 140 lbs. That species is Homo sapiens, better known as humans. 2.

3. People have long valued the famous striped(有条纹的) skins. Though trading tiger skins is now illegal in most parts of the world, tiger fur are worth around $10,000 on the black market. Though the fur would be incentive(刺激) enough for most hunters, other parts of the tiger can also fetch a pretty penny. Some people in China and other Asian cultures believe that various tiger parts have cure function. Traditional Chinese medicine calls for the use of tiger bones, among other parts, to cure some disease.

4. In other words, people hunted tigers only for the thrill and achievement of killing them. Such killings took place in large scale during the 19th and early 20th centuries, when an English hunter might demand to kill over a hundred tigers in their hunting career. Though this practice is much less popular today than it was in the past, it has not stopped entirely.

Humans have done great damage to the world’s tiger population through hunting, but perhaps more damage has been caused through the destruction of habitat. Tigers once ranged widely across Asia, all the way from Turkey to the eastern coast of Russia. But over the past 100 years, tigers have lost 93% of their historic range. The tiger population is now isolated in small pockets in southern and southeastern Asia. 5.Humans have built towns and cities. Road and transport systems were created to connect these towns and cities. To feed the people living in these areas, forests and fields have been cleared to create farmland. A major difficulty to preserving tigers is the large amount of territory(领土,领域) that each tiger requires. Each wild tiger demands between 200 and 300 square miles. Because tigers need so much territory, it is really difficult to acquire enough land to support a large population of tigers.

A.A lion is not as large as a tiger but runs faster than it.

B.This is because humans have heavily changed the environments.

C.Tigers have also been hunted as game.

D.Tigers are hunted for many reasons.

E.Tigers are not only large, they are also fast.

F.Humans threaten tigers in primarily two ways: hunting and destroying habitat.

G.Though humans have done great harm to tigers.
