An amazing occurrence happened in South Africa when 31 elephants made a "Journey To Pay Their Respect" to their hero who had saved their lives and many other animals. Lawrence Anthony (1950-2012), a legend (传奇人物) in South Africa and author of 3 books including the bestseller The Elephant Whisperer, bravely rescued wildlife and elephants all over the globe, including the courageous rescue of Baghdad Zoo animals in 2003. On March 7, 2012, Lawrence Anthony died. Two days after his passing, the wild elephants showed up at his home led by two old female elephants. Separate wild groups arrived to say goodbye to their beloved man-friend. A total of 31 elephants had patiently walked over 12 miles to reach his South African House. Witnessing this sight, humans were obviously in awe (敬畏) because of not only the precise timing that these elephants sensed about Lawrence's passing, but also because of the deep memory and emotion the beloved animals showed in such an organized way. Walking slowly — for days — they made their way in a one — by — one queue from their home in the wild bush to his house. Lawrence's wife, Francoise, was especially touched, knowing that the elephants had not been to his house prior to (在……前面的) that day for well over 3 years! They knew where they were going and they seemed to know why they were going to Lawrence's home. The elephants obviously wanted to pay their deep respects, honoring their human friend who had saved their lives — so much respect that they stayed for 2 days and 2 nights without eating anything. After honoring Lawrence Anthony in the only way they could, then one morning, they left, making their long journey back home. 【1】When did the elephants appear at Lawrence Anthony's house?

The world's largest iceberg (冰山)is floating toward the island of South Georgia in the southern Atlantic Ocean. Scientists fear the iceberg could crash into the island and block major feeding areas for a large population of penguins (企鹅)and seals. Satellite images show the iceberg has remained in one piece. It is estimated to be about 150 kilometers long and 48 kilometers wide. It is traveling at one kilometer an hour and is on a path to hit South Georgia in around 30 days. The British Antarctic Survey says it is concerned that if the iceberg hits the island, it could prevent the penguins and seals from reaching food supplies. Professor Geraint Tarling, an ecologist with the Antarctic Survey, says right now is the time of year when seals and penguins spend a lot of time caring for their young. This means the distance that parents have to travel to find food is important. "That means they have to go a lot further, they have to go around the iceberg, or to actually go further to find sources of food," Tarling said. "And that time is quite important at this particular period of their life cycle." The breaking off of icebergs from Antarctica is a natural process. But the process is changing with climate change. " What we 're seeing with models and some observations now is the rate at which this is happening is increasing. And so, this might become more of a usual thing into the future," Tarling said. The iceberg also could damage South Georgia's valuable fishing industry. Fishers pay for the rights to catch Patagonian toothfish, icefish and krill (磷虾)in waters off the island. Officials are hoping that changing weather patterns could direct the iceberg out into the open ocean, where it would, in time, break up and melt. 【1】What will happen if the iceberg hits the island of South Georgia? A.Wildlife will lose their homes. B.The iceberg will remain in one piece. C.The island of South Georgia will disappear. D.Feeding will be challenging for penguins and seals. 【2】What can we learn from what Tarling says? A.Icebergs are coming off faster than before. B.Penguins and seals' birth rates are increasing. C.The iceberg's breaking off is caused by human. D.It's unusual to see the iceberg melting is speeding. 【3】What does the last paragraph tell us? A.The present situation is beyond hope. B.The weather patterns are controllable. C.The iceberg is bound to melt very soon. D.The crash of the iceberg may be avoidable. 【4】What's the main theme of the passage? A.The changing climate in Antarctica. B.The potential problems of the iceberg. C.The island of South Georgia. D.The population of sea animals. |

Think of the last time you disagreed with another person. Maybe you argued with a sibling (兄弟；姊妹)over what to watch on TV. Or perhaps you tried to convince grown-ups that ice cream makes a better dinner than vegetables. How did your disagreement end? Were you able to see the issue(争论的问题)from the other person’s viewpoint? In many situations, disagreements are unavoidable. They’re part of life. After all, everyone has different opinions. We all have past experiences that shape how we see the world. Still, not all disagreements are bad. In fact, many people look at them as opportunities to learn. They do so by trying to understand where both sides are coming from. How can you understand both sides of an issue? Often, it’s best to start by asking questions. Questions help us learn about the world around us. The right questions can also help us learn about other people. In a disagreement, asking for more information can help you learn about a person’s viewpoint. It can also lead you to gather more facts. This can paint a better picture of the entire issue. When seeking to understand both sides of an issue, it’s important to know the difference between facts and opinions. Remember, facts are based on true information. Opinions can change from person to person. Paying attention to facts can stop biases(偏见)from taking over in a disagreement. This can help everyone involved see both sides of the issue. Maybe you’re wondering why it’s important to understand both sides of an issue, anyway. After all, don’t most people just want to prove that their side is right? Often, that’s true. However, understanding the whole issue can lead to both sides working together. Disagreements may be uncomfortable at first. However, when both sides truly try to understand each other, they often find they have more in common than they thought. The next time you disagree with another person, try asking him questions about their viewpoint. You never know what you might learn. 【1】What does the underlined word“so” refer to in Paragraph 2? A.Ignoring chances to learn. B.Knowing more about themselves. C.Shaping a right way to see the world. D.Making the disagreements a chance to learn. 【2】According to the passage, how can we solve a disagreement? A.By changing the other’s opinions. B.By making both sides comfortable. C.By trying to stand in others’ shoes. D.By telling facts and opinions apart. 【3】How does the author support his view? A.By reasoning. B.By describing. C.By persuading. D.By questioning. 【4】What’s the author’s attitude to people’s arguments? A.Indifferent. B.Pessimistic. C.Positive. D.Skeptical. |

After returning home, Confucius continued teaching. This is also when Confucius did much of his writing. Today, many people learn about Confucius 【6】 reading The Analects. That's where Confucius' s version of The Golden Rule shows up, 【7】 says, “ Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself." Confucius wrote parts of The Analects. Other parts 【8】 ( write) by his students after his death. It was also after his death 【9】 Confucius's ideas became known as Confucianism. Confucianism is more like a way to look at the world.

This proverb means that to being successful, one needs to start early or before anyone else. It advises us seize the day and take every opportunity. That is why I liked it so much. Looking back, I have come to realize that success is never goes to those who are lazy! Often the mostly successful people are those who do something before anyone else do. Success takes hard work and time. The early one wakes up, the more work time you will have and the more one will get. Are you a early bird? |
