The instructor told us to breathe slowly and regularly through our mouths. We mustn't breathe too deeply or we'll use up all our air very quickly. After some practice in a swimming pool, Ị was comfortable with it. Out here on the boat we put on the rubber diving suits. and slipped the webbed flippers onto our feet.

We saw lots of colourful fish, coral （珊瑚） and an octopus （章鱼）. A dolphin circled up and down and all around us.

As we went deeper, my ears hurt from the water pressure. Following the diving instructor’s advice, I swallowed to reduce the pressure. After a while, the instructor signaled us to go up. We had been underwater for 40 minutes! It felt like only five.

Lao Wang is Jack’s Chinese friend. One day Jack was invited to his home for dinner. After they enjoyed the dinner, Jack made a short speech and then sent Lao Wang a clock. “I’d like you to accept this small clock,” said Jack. “Thank you.” Lao Wang thanked him, but he looked unhappy and put the clock in another room. “Don’t you like it?” Jack said. “Oh, no. Thank you.” Lao Wang answered. Later, another guest said to Jack, “Giving a clock to a friend is unlucky in Chinese culture. The word for clock ‘Zhong’ also means the end of life.”

He told me that he knows something about China and that he is used to differences between China and America, but he has never heard about clocks being unlucky. “Clock is a typical (典型的) gift in America, everybody would be pleased to accept it,” Jack said to me sadly. “So we should be more careful about the different culture and now we have a lot to learn from the Chinese,” I said.

Choose the best answer (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案）：

When the weather is hot, you go to a lake or an ocean. When you are near a lake or an Ocean, you feel cool. Why? The sun makes the earth hot, but it cannot make the water very hot. Although the air over the earth becomes hot, the air over the water is still cool. The hot air over the earth goes up. Then the cool air over the water moves in and takes the place of the hot air.

Then you may ask, “Why is the ocean full of salt?” Scientists will say that the salt comes from the rocks. When the rocks get very hot or very cold，they crack (爆裂）.Rain falls into the cracks.

Read the passage and choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案）：

Dinosaurs were the dominant land animals for 160 million years, making them one of the most successful groups of animals ever. However, all the dinosaurs that were living 65 million years ago went extinct. About 70% of all animal life on the earth died out. Scientists call it a mass extinction（大灭绝）.

Having existed for 165 million years, why did dinosaurs die out? There are many different theories about why this happened. We will probably never know exactly what happened, which means that scientists will continue to disagree and come up with different dinosaur extinction theories. Here are two of them:

Ice Age Theory

Now and again, the earth cools into periods we call ice ages. As dinosaurs were thought to be cold blooded, it was hard for them to cope with such cold conditions.

Disease

It is possible that a disease spread through the dinosaur population causing their extinction.

Scientists have come up with some strange ideas but none of the theories really explains everything, so we will probably never be sure what happened.

1.The underlined word “dominant” in the passage probably means _________.

A.biggest B.powerful C.strange D.special

2.Why did the dinosaurs become extinct? ___________.

A.Dinosaurs could not suffer from cold weather B.A disease spread through the dinosaur population

C.Other species became stronger than dinosaurs D.We have not known about the truth yet

3.Dinosaurs existed on the earth for _______ million years.

A.160 B.165 C.65 D.115
