“Depend on yourself” is what nature says to every man. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. Others still can help you. But all these people only help you to help yourself.
There have been many great men in history. Many of them were very poor when they were young, and had no uncles, aunts, or friends to help them. Schools were few and not very good. They could not depend on them for education. They tried their best to learn something and never gave up till they became well-known. One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, “I cannot make worthy men of you, but I can help you make men of yourselves.”
Some young men don’t try their best to make themselves valuable to the human beings. If they see their weak points and change their ways, they can be successful. They are nothing now, and will be nothing as long as(只要) they live, unless they accept the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend on themselves.
小題1:Why did many men succeed?
A．Because they had good education.
B．Because they wanted very much to become well-known.
C．Because they worked hard.
D．Because their families were very rich.
小題2:What can a teacher do according to the famous teacher in England?
A．A teacher can make his pupils men of strength and courage.
B．A teacher can make his pupils worthy.
C．A teacher can help his pupils become well-known.
D．A teacher can do nothing.
小題3:If young people depend on their own efforts, _______________.
A．they are sure to be very famous in the world
B．they can be successful in their lives
C．they no longer need help
D．they are sure to fail
小題4:What can we learn about the writer from the passage?
A．He thinks highly of those who are working hard to be successful.
B．He thinks highly of parents and teachers.
C．He wants to be a famous scientist.
D．He thinks highly of those who are poor.

小題1:C
小題2:A
小題3:B
小題4:A

試題分析：這篇短文重點(diǎn)介紹了一些人之所以成功的要素，那就是學(xué)會(huì)依靠自己，依靠自己的刻苦努力來取得人生的成功。
小題1:根據(jù)第二段They tried their best to learn something and never gave up till they became well-known.描述，可知這些人成功的原因是努力的學(xué)習(xí)，工作。故選C。
小題2:根據(jù)第二段“I cannot make worthy men of you, but I can help you make men of yourselves. 我不能讓你成為一個(gè)出色的男人，但是我可以幫助你活出自己的風(fēng)采。描述可知選A，一個(gè)好老師能讓他的學(xué)生成為有力量和勇氣的人。
小題3:根據(jù)最后一段They are nothing now, and will be nothing as long as(只要) they live, unless they accept the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend on themselves.描述，可知選B。
小題4:根據(jù)短文第二段描述，可知作者對這些依靠自身努力成功的人的評(píng)價(jià)很高。故選A。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文中長句較多，一時(shí)很難讀懂句子含義，注意多讀幾遍，不要強(qiáng)求非得理解一詞一句的含義，能把握文章大意就行。然后帶著問題閱讀短文，一般就能順利找出答題依據(jù)。對于不能直接找到根據(jù)的問題注意聯(lián)系上下文，根據(jù)短文中心總結(jié)出正確答案。

There are many wetlands（濕地） in China and some of them have become the world‘s important wetlands. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng， Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of birds and animals. The world’s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve（自然保護(hù)區(qū)） is in them. More than 700 milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world， but every winter you can see some in the Red-crowned Cranes Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.
The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine， too. They are really good places for wildlife（野生生物）。 Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals and birds is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also prevent flood. But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife.
Luckily， more and more people are beginning to realize the important of wetlands and wildlife. Every year， on February 2nd， many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands.

Do you know why different animals or pests have their special colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts. but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life, you'll find the main use of coloring is protecting themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be seen by hunters. This is because they have the colors much like the tree.
Have you ever noticed an even more strange act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spread over, the enemies cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it isn't strong at all.
