Wildlife hero

Who will save a flying bird caught in fishing line? Who will give a safe home to a snowy owl with no beak(喙)? Mona Rutger—that’s who! She has cared for thousands of injured(受傷的) animals. Mona runs a wildlife centre in Castalia, Ohio, called Back to the Wild.

Mona grew up on a farm. She spent a lot of time learning about the local wildlife when she was a little girl. As she got older, Mona learned more about animals. She decided that she wanted to help animals. She used some of her family’s land to start a wildlife centre. Injured animals could live in the centre until they were ready to go back to the wild.

Mona took care of the animals seven days a week. She didn’t think that was too much work, though. She knew the animals needed her. In time volunteers began to help her. Some people helped care for the animals. Others put money in a fund(基金) for the centre. The fund helped pay for animal feed and medical bills. One friend wrote and told a television station about Back to the Wild. The letter led to a special award(獎). Mona was named the Hero of the Year! She received a $ 10,000 prize from the television station. Mona used the money to help more animals.

Today, Mona is still taking care of animals. She also visits schools to teach children about protecting wild places and animals. She hopes more people will become heroes for animals, too!

Could you live without a computer or a mobile phone? It might be hard for you to imagine a life without technology(科技). But even today, many people all over the world live happily without it. There are many tribes(部落) with much more important things to worry about than technology.

One of the most famous tribes on the earth is the Maasai(馬賽族) people of Kenya, in Africa. The Maasai people don’t live in one place all the time. They move from place to place and make new homes each time they move. They build their homes in the forests from things they can find in nature—mud, sticks, grass and rocks. Their villages don’t have electricity(電), so computers and mobile phones cannot be used.

Another tribe in South East Asia is the Hmong. These are hill people—they live in the mountains in parts of Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. They have a very traditional way of life. In fact, they live the same way now that their ancestors(祖先) used to live over 2,000 years ago. They’ve also got their own ancient language with two different dialects(方言)： Hmong Djua and Hmong Daw. The language comes from Southern China and it’s quite different from the other languages of South East Asia. You won’t find much technology in a Hmong hill village.

The Koryak people, a tribe in Russia, live on the northern part of them Pacific Coast. It is very cold. For food, these people catch fish or keep reindeer (馴鹿). Koryak children help hunt(狩獵) and cook food for their family. They also sometimes make their own clothes with reindeer skin(皮).

Life for these people is much harder than it is for you or me. Could you live comfortably without basic necessities like food, water and electricity?

1.What can we know about the Hmong?

B. They keep their own language.

What’s so great about exercise? Even though the thought of jogging, jumping rope, or getting hot and dirty makes you unhappy, there are ways that working out can still be fun. You might enjoy a game like volleyball, or maybe you ride your bicycle with friends. You could also get moving by walking your dog. These are all ways to work out, or exercise.

Exercise is a must in order to keep healthy. It makes your body stronger, gives you more energy, and even makes you feel happier.

When you exercise, you use your muscles(肌肉). This makes them stronger including muscles deep inside the body, such as your heart. The job of the heart muscle is to send blood(血液) throughout the body. A strong heart gets the job done much easier. It certainly is important to strengthen that muscle.

When you exercise, you feel like you have more energy. Energy is the power to move around. A healthy body does not have to work as hard to move, and it does not get tired as quickly.

Another advantage of exercise is that it makes you feel good. Exercise causes the body to produce a kind of chemical(化學(xué)物質(zhì)) in the brain(大腦) that calms you, and raises your spirits too. This chemical change makes you feel good, just like the good feelings you get from being stronger and having more energy.

Eating right is another way to stay healthy. Breakfast is very important if you make it a healthy one. It gives power to your body and to your brain. It’s easier to choose healthy foods if you know what you need. Children generally need about a cup and a half of fruit and a cup and a half of vegetables every day. You should drink between four and eight glasses of water and juice each day.

The final ingredient(因素) for good health is to get enough rest. Growing children need about nine hours of sleep every night. When the body is asleep, it repairs(修復(fù)) itself.

The body is like a machine. If you take good care of it, it can work well for a long time.

1.The word “strengthen” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.

A. to make something easier

B. to make something larger

C. to make something heavier

D. to make something stronger

2.How many advantages of exercise are talked about in the passage?

A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5.

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A. Sleep helps the body repair itself.

B. The body can work well all the time like a machine.

C. Healthy people don't feel tired when they exercise.

D. Children should drink eight glasses of water each day.

4.The passage is mainly about ________.

A. the importance of eating right

B. the importance of exercise

C. how to keep good health

D. how to feel happy

Home Again

Niki saw the sign first. It said “Welcome to Layton”. “We’re here!” Niki said.

“Yes,” answered Mum “Now I’ll show you where i grew up.”

Mum turned right. “This is Hill Street. Let’s find my old house.” She stopped the car in front of a red house. “Oh, Dear! It’s so different now,” Mum said sadly “Let’s see how Main Street looks.”

As the car moved up Main Street, Niki asked, “Is Main Street the way you remember it?”

“No,” Mum sighed. But then she smiled. “Look! The Layton Diner is still here! Let’s go in and get some lunch.”

Niki and Mum walked into the diner. Mum looked around and laughed. “It hasn’t changed a bit. Just like the old days!”

Just then, a woman with white hair sat at the next table. The waitress said something and the woman laughed. Niki saw Mum s eyes grow wide. “What is it, Mum?” she asked.

“That laugh,” Mum said softly. “I remember that laugh.” She turned around and looked at the woman. “I don’t know who that woman could be,” she said.

Niki looked past Mum and smiled at the woman. The woman smiled back kindly at Niki. Then the woman stood up and walked over. She looked closely at Mum’s face before she spoke. “Margaret, it’s so nice to see you after all these years.”

“You are…” Mum was a little puzzled.

“I’m Mrs. Blade,” the woman said. “Your third-grade teacher.”

Mum jumped up and hugged her. “I didn’t know who you were.”

Mrs. Blade laughed. “I didn’t know who you were either, Margaret,” she said. “But your daughter looks just like you did in third grade. And I never forget a student’s face.”
