Two farmers in northeast China Heilongjiang Province have been sentenced to nine and five years in jail because of eating a tiger, the local court said on Tuesday.
Zhang Licheng and Gong Weisheng, both farmers in Dongning County, were put into prison for the crime of illegally hunting and killing endangered wild animal species, according to the People’s Court of Dongning County.

Knowing that tiger trade was illegal, Zhang and Gong, however, thought eating a dead tiger’s meat was not breaking the law. They decided to cover it up and therefore did not report to the relevant authorities, the court said.
Six days later they secrectly carried home the tiger that had died of hunger as they had expected.The two farmers burnt the tiger’s skin, ate its meat and hid away the bones, according to the court.

A 13-year-old boy who had been reported missing four years ago was discovered alive, hidden behind a fake wall of a home near Atlanta, Georgia, and was sent to live with his mother early on Saturday, police said.
Five people living in the home in Jonesboro, 17 miles (28km) south of Atlanta, were caught by the police, among them the boy’s father, Gregory, 37, and a woman, said Sergeant Kevin Hughes of the Clayton County police.
Gregory and Samantha Joy Davis were facing charges of false imprisonment, abuse on children and attacking an officer, he said, adding that three teenagers also in the home were facing charges.
The boy’s mother clearly had reported him missing to the child welfare but not the police, and no missing person’s report was found in Clayton County, Hughes said. And the teen was able to get a phone recently and told his mother his whereabouts, authorities said.
Clayton County police went to the home on Friday to look for the 13-year-old but Gregory and Davis said they had no information about the boy, Hughes said.
Several hours later, police came back and again searched the house. While the police were in the home, the boy called his mother, who told officers where her son was hidden in the house, Hughes said. “They discovered him hidden behind a false wall in the inside part of the home,” he said. The boy appeared to be in good physical health and was reunited with his mother, who had come to Georgia from out of the state, Hughes said.
Neighbors in their quiet, well-kept Jonesboro neighborhood said the family moved in about six months ago and kept to themselves. The 13-year-old boy always seemed to be home and did not appear to go to school, they said.
1.Where was the boy finally found?
A. Behind a fake wall of his mother’s home.
B. In a hidden place in his father’s house.
C. In their quiet neighborhood.
D. In 17 miles south of Atlanta, Georgia.
2.The underlined word "whereabouts" in the text perhaps means _________.
A. Place B. Direction
C. Home D. Phone
3.Which is the best title for the passage?
A. A 13-year-old teen was found in his home.
B. A teen missing four years ago was found alive.
C. Charges from Clayton County police.
D. Mother’s concern about her son’s safety.

She had been shopping with her Mom in Wal-Mart. She must have been 6 years old, this beautiful brown haired, freckle-faced image of innocence. Outside, it was pouring so heavily.
We all stood there just inside the door of the Wal-Mart. We waited, some patiently, others annoyed because nature messed up their hurried day. I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world.
Her voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance (昏昏欲睡) we were all caught in. “Mom, let’s run through the rain,” she said.
“ No, honey. We’ll wait until it slows down a bit.” Mom replied.
This young child waited about another minute and repeated, “Mom, let’s run through the rain. ”
“We’ll get soaked if we do,” Mom said.
“ No, we won’t, Mom. That’s not what you said this morning,” the young girl said as she tore at her Mom’s arm.
“This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?”
“Don’t you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, If God can get us through this, he can get us through anything!”
The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I dare say you couldn’t hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say.
Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child’s lifetime when innocent trust can be developed so that it will bloom into faith. “Honey , you are absolutely right. Let’s run through the rain. If get wet, well maybe we just need washing.” Mom said. Then off they ran.
We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they rushed past the cars and they held their shopping bags over their heads just in case. They got soaked. But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars. And yes, l did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing.
You may lose your material possessions, your money and even your health, but no one can ever take away your precious memories. So don’t forget to make time and take the opportunities to make memories.
1. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “affirmation”?
A.happiness B.love C.disagreement D.approval
2. What do we know about the mother in the story?
A.Her husband was cured of his cancer.
B.She was strong-willed and considerate.
C.She was in despair and pretended to forget what she said.
D.Her daughter completely understood the situation her family was in.
3. Which of the following may the author agree with?
A.The mother should not tell her child about the family misfortune.
B.Parents should act more bravely than their children.
C.Parents should grasp every opportunity to influence their children to grow well.
D.Children should learn to show gratitude and understanding to their parents.
4. The best title for the passage might be _______.

I have been using the Internet since I was five years old, when my dad first sat me down in front of a computer and connected me to the World Wide Web.
I’ve always felt like a master of the Internet world. MSN, Gmail, Facebook, My space -- I’ve got it all under control. I thought there was nothing more to it besides checking my e-mail and wasting my time, until I was introduced to electronic commerce(e-commerce): business on the Internet.
Some online businesses are run from one-room home offices. Others have hundreds of employees across the world. Have you ever heard of Amazon.com, Yahoo.com?
My friends often said they got cheap textbooks on Amazon.com, or had a good deal (交易) on Steve Madden shoes that were on sale at SteveMaden.com. Unfortunately for me, I continued my “e-commerceless” Web-surfing, not knowing about all the deals I was missing out on.
That is, of course, until my sister finally sold the idea to me.
“Why are all these packages arriving in the mail for you, Katy?”I asked her one day. Strange envelopes (信封) had been put on our doorstep for weeks now, each one always addressed to my sister; and we all know little sisters should never be getting more mail than their elders!
“Oh, it’s the things I ordered online!” she answered. I watched speechlessly as she opened them. There was no way our parents were letting her spend that much money- online or off!
“How much did all of this cost?”
“Oh, only about $15 in all!”She said excitedly.“Everything on eBay is on sale! It’s a way better than going to the store.”
I felt as if there had been a store right in my backyard that I had never walked into! That week, I ordered a used Spanish textbook for my summer course online for 10 percent of the publishing price. A few days later, I bought an iPod protector and a book or two via the wonderful eBay.com.
1.From the first two paragraphs we can conclude that the writer___________.
A. had no experience using computers
B. had no idea of what e-commerce is
C. only enjoyed checking e-mail on the Internet

My son ,Izzy, was a nine-year-old boy and had been begging me to please let him find his way home by subway, by himself. After all, we live in New York City, and getting around by public transportation is a basic part of life. It is also the first step toward feeling grown-up. So on that sunny Sunday,I gave him a subway map, a transportation card,$20 for emergencies, and a couple of coins so that he could call me if necessary. I didn’t give him a cell phone because nine-year-olds lose things. A few days later, I wrote about his adventure,or non-adventure for a newspaper. Little did I realize the idea that a kid could tour the city on his own, and that a mom would let him, was big news.
It turned out that many TV shows called me and asked for an interview. Bloggers were going crazy, so I started a blog, too, and letters came pouring in. Finally I found out why this was such a big story: we have become fearful for our children. Fear is hardly a new thing for parents, of course. But the fear of letting our children out of sight for even a second-that’s new. How did this happen? How did it become too scary to let kids be kids? I asked the question when the reporter Trevor Butterworth interviewed me.
“News reports,” he answered. “News reports scare the pants off you. What is scarier than a kidnapped(绑架) kid no matter how far away?Because there are so many such stories, it starts to feel as if kidnappings are happening all the time. That’s why the kid-on-the-subway story surprises the whole world.”
Izzy probably did a good job. He simply proved that kids could leave home alone and return home safely! But he didn’t think it was a big deal. “It was fun,” he said. “But I missed some classes because of the interviews.” Sometimes it really pays to be brave.
1.Why did the author let her son take the subway alone?
A. Because she always let her son do whatever he wanted.
B. Because she believed that her son had memorized the subway map.
C. Because she thought it would be big news around the whole world.
D. Because she felt traveling by subway in New York was a basic life skill.
2.The author gave her son all the following when he traveled alone EXCEPT_______.
A. a map. B. a cell phone.
C. a transportation card D. some money.
3.The author didn’t expect that after she wrote her son’s story for a newspaper, __________.
A. a blog would be started in her name
B. her son would receive so many letters
C. many TV shows would want to interview her
D. many TV stations would want to film her son’s story

Philip was a nine-year-old boy in a Sunday school class of 8-year-old girls and boys. Sometimes the third graders didn’t welcome Philip into their group and usually tricked him. This was not because he was older, but because he was “different”. You see, Philip suffered from a condition called Downs’s Syndrome. This made him “different”, with his facial characteristics, slow responses and mental problems.
One Sunday after Easter, the Sunday school teacher gathered some plastic eggs that pulled apart in the middle. The teacher gave one to each child. On that beautiful spring day, the children were to go out and discover for themselves some symbol of “new life” and place it inside the plastic eggs.
After the children returned to the classroom, the teacher opened their eggs one by one, asking each child to explain that symbol of “new life”. The first opened egg contained a flower. Everyone cheered. In another was a butterfly…. When the teacher opened the last egg, it was empty. “That’s stupid,” said someone. The teacher felt a pull at his shirt. It was Philip. Looking up, Philip said, “It’s mine. I did it. It’s empty. I have new life, because the tomb is empty.” Not a sound was heard in class at all. From that day on, Philip became a real part of the group. They welcomed him, and whatever made him different was never mentioned again.
