I learned about life from an ant farm．When I was seven years old, my family created one．First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box, and then we waited for the live ants to arrive．Shortly after the chilly ants were dropped into the glass structure, they got to work making tunnels．I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do．After hours of staring, I realized that the ants had assigned jobs．With my mom ' s help, I kept a diary of what happened each day and named the ants．
One day a tragedy struck the ant farm．The pages of the diary, still wrinkled where tear drops fell, indicate the depth of the tragedy．'I had put my face so close to the structure that I accidentally tipped it over, caving in all the tunnels．Although the ants survived their earthquake, one by one they began to die．I was terrified as I watched them give up their tunnel-building to carry the bodies to a comer of the farm．My mother reported that the ants were dying of "frustration．" They simply could not stand the reality that their tunnels had been destroyed．
Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm．Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more．Over the years, I came to realize the ants were a study in the benefits of teamwork．Working together, they were able to create an amazing world for themselves．I also learned that they should be admired for their hard work．Day in and day out, each labored at their task．The ant farm showed that teamwork and perseverance are indeed two key ingredients to success．But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity （不幸、災(zāi)禍） is a natural part of life,and must be accepted．Unlike the ants, humans cannot give up when they face disappointment．Unlike the ants, we have to realize that if a tunnel caves in, we just have to build another．Giving up, I say, is not a choice．

Tragedy at the Circus

In yesterday’s circus（馬戲團(tuán)）show, a tiger suddenly attacked its trainer and had to be shot dead. As the circus packed up and left, circus officials said the show would go on even without tigers.

However, the officials can’t simply turn a blind eye to the ethical problems left behind. Even before this tragedy(悲劇),animal rights activists protested against keeping wild animals in unnatural conditions and forcing them to suffer for the profit(利潤(rùn))of circus organizers.

It is now time for us to take effective steps to make sure that circus animals are treated properly.

*******************************

Circus Safe for Animals

Our circus recently suffered a most tragic event in its history. While we are thankful for the pity from the public, we are also astonished by the opinion expressed in “Tragedy at the Circus.”

First, our performing animals are not taken from the wild. As to the ethical problems，we always believe humans and animals can—and should—live together nicely. To us, the performing animals are representatives of their species(物種),and our circus is one of the only places left willing to support this special role of performing animals in the existence of the species. Those who argue that circus life is harmful to animals show little knowledge of these facts. Life in the “wild” is unsafe, but a continuous struggle for existence. To overlook these reslities is the greatest fault against the animal kingdom.

This circus has proven that animals are stronger and smarter than we could imagine. Within the circus is a joyful atmosphere for both animals and humans: people are educated, and species saved.

1.What is the main purpose of the first passage?

    A. To show pity for the performing animals. 

B. To express worries about animal trainers' safety. 

C. To deal with the difficult situations of the circus.

D. To call for action to protect circus animals.

2.What will the circus most probably do?

A. Take no notice of the tragedy.

B. Continue its performances.

C. Use fewer wild animals.

D. Limit its profit.

3.What does the circus think of its performing animals?

A. They are as clever as human beings.

B. They struggle continuously with human beings for existence.

C. They are helpful in saving their species.

D. They have equally natural living conditions as wild animals.

4.What is the most probable relationship between the two passages?

A. A public request and a newspaper report.

　　B. A newspaper article and a reply to it.

C. Two parts of a newspaper article.

D. Two newspaper reports.
