I love turtles(龟), but I haven't cared for them well. So please read the following before deciding on buying one.
You don't have enough room. Turtles need a lot of room to live happily. But this doesn't mean you should let them play freely across your house.
You can't give your turtle enough food. Most turtles eat both meat and plants. Whatever you do, don't think you can feed your pet the only food from a pet store, which is a death sentence(死刑)．
If you own a dog or a cat, don't risk buying the turtle unless you can keep them 100% separate(分开的)! One day, my dog ate a box turtle and about a month later the dog died. I've read that many box turtles carry toxins(毒素) in their bodies.
You can't offer right temperature. Once, I bought a turtle that was not put into a box. It died a few days later. In fact, the box can give it a good temperature.
You want an expensive pet for a status(身份) symbol. This may be the worst reason to buy a turtle. It means your heart is not on it, and you will not be taking all the steps necessary to care for the pet.
You will find different information in some books. You need to read more books to begin to understand the high level of care needed.
1.The reason why people should separate a dog from a turtle is that ________．
A. turtles are afraid of dogs B. they may hurt each other
C. dogs dislike turtles very much D. they have different needs
2.What do most turtles eat?
A. Only vegetables. B. Only meat.
C. Both meat and plants. D. Everything but meat.
3.What can we learn from the passage?
A. The writer's love for turtles is gone after several deaths.
B. The writer's knowledge(知识) helps him care for turtles successfully.
C. One book is enough for the information needed in keeping a turtle.
D. People had better learn some knowledge if they want to keep turtles.
4.Which of the following would the writer agree with?
A. Putting turtles in a fit－sized box.
B. Putting turtles and cats in the same box.
C. Letting turtles play freely across the house.
D. Buying an expensive turtle for a status symbol.
5.What's the writer's purpose(目的) in writing the passage?
A. To tell some knowledge about raising turtles.
B. To list reasons why turtles can't be good pets.
C. To show his sad experiences of raising turtles.
D. To advise people not to buy a pet turtle.

Sheep Learned to Read Faces
①Which animals are smart? Your answer may be dogs, or elephants. Now there is one more animal on the list: sheep.
②According to a new study, sheep learned to recognize four famous people after being shown their pictures, suggesting these animals have face-recognition abilities similar to humans.
③Before testing, scientists let the sheep take a look at pictures of four famous people like former US President Barack Obama and British actress Emma Watson. Then the sheep went into a room with two computer screens. Each screen showed a human face looking straight ahead. One screen showed a famous person and the other screen showed a common person. The sheep were more likely to walk toward the screen showing the famous person. On average, they chose correctly in 8 out of 10 tests.
④After learning the animals’ ability to recognize famous people, researchers gave them a new task. They wanted to see if the farm animals could correctly recognize the same people shown from the side. The animals were still able to identify (识别) them, though they were a bit slower to recognize the pictures than before and they were correct less than 70% of the time.
⑤Finally, the researchers wanted to know if the sleep could recognize their trainers from a photo. Pictures of their trainers were randomly (随机地) shown on screens along with other unfamiliar faces. Without any training, the sheep could recognize their trainers.
⑥The results show that the animals’ face-recognition abilities are similar to those of monkeys, and humans.
⑦Face recognition is a difficult process (过程). But sheep have big brains. When they see other sheep, they use this process to recognize one another, said Jenny Morton, the lead researcher.
⑧The researchers plan to further study the sheep and find out if they can recognize different facial expression made by humans.
⑨The researchers hope that the study could shed light on certain brain diseases (疾病) such as Huntington’s disease, which affects (影响) abilities like facial recognition.
⑩We can’t say for sure, but it might help us understand how the disease starts, said Morton.
1.Scientists found that sheep can .
A.become humans’ best friend B.be smarter than other animals
C.identify people by their names D.recognize familiar human faces
2.Which paragraphs describe how the scientists did the experiments?
A.①②③ B.③④⑤ C.⑥⑦⑧ D.⑧⑨⑩
3.What do the words “shed light on” in Paragraph 9 probably mean?
A.Make it easier to understand. B.Turn a very strong light on.
C.Find ways to solve problems. D.Keep trying new experiments.

There is a simple way to lose weight (减体重). And you don't even have to give up the food you love or join a sports club. You just follow some habits that thin people have. Keep them, and you will become thin.
（1）Wake-up
When you wake up in the morning, sit up slowly without using your hands. With legs straight out, bend (弯曲)forward until you feel sore in your back. It will bum about 10 calories(卡里路热量）
（2）Start with soup
When you have a meal, order a clear soup, and have it before having the main food. In this way, you'll feel fuller, so you'll eat less when the main food comes.
（3）An apple (or more) a day
Apples are full of fiber (纤维) and water, so your stomach will want less. The study shows that people who eat at least three apples a day lose weight.
（4）Stand up and walk around
Every time you use the mobile phones, stand up and walk around. Heavy people sit two and a half hours more on average (平均) each day than thin people. This skill is very important because standing up and walking around will bum 50 or more calories.
Use the skills, and you will lose weight successfully.
1.If we want less main food, we should have _______ first.
A. soup B. ice cream C. salad D. cheese
