【小题1】_____________________ So you want to have a tarantula(狼蛛)as a pet? You want to join the fastest growing hobby in the US? Read this beginner’s guide to learn the most important facts.
 
Tarantulas are primitive spiders(远古的蜘蛛). They are usually hairier and larger than normal(正常的) spiders.
Why keep tarantulas?
Tarantulas are really interesting pets. They don’t need much space, they aren’t expensive to feed, they live a long time, they don’t make much mess(脏乱), and they aren’t dangerous.
When did people start keeping tarantulas as a hobby?
【小题2】________________ They started in the 1970s when the ‘Mexican Redknee’ was brought to the US. By the 1990s there were about 200 different kinds of tarantulas in the US, but some are better for beginners than others. Good beginner tarantulas include the ‘Pink Zebra Beauty’ and the ‘Brazilian Black and White’ because they are not as dangerous as some of the other ones.
 
You can keep tarantulas in 10 gallon (加仑) , glass boxes. They need a water bowl in the box and you should feed them once a week. Tarantulas eat insects, small mice and lizards(蜥蜴). You can buy these(already dead)from a pet shop. You only need to clean the glass box about once every six months.
Can I hold tarantulas in my hands?
No! A tarantula is not a pet like a dog, a cat or a rabbit and they do not like being held in your hands. Keep it in the glass box and watch it.
Are tarantulas dangerous?
【小题3】________________ Nobody has ever died from a tarantula bite, but some kinds of tarantula could give you a bad bite. Usually they prefer to run away from you than to bite you.
 
Look for a club near you for people who keep tarantulas as a hobby. You can also find some information about it on the Internet or find some books.
1-3. Please choose the best title(标题)for each blank.
A. What is a tarantula?
B. How can I find out more?
C. Where can I buy tarantulas?
D. How do I look after a tarantula?

In common with many countries, Britain has serious environmental problems. In 1952, more than 4,000 people died in London because of the smog (烟雾). The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot. Today, London is much cleaner but there is a new problem: smog from cars. In December 1991, there was very little wind in London and pollution increased a lot. As a result, about 160 people died from pollution in just four days.
Part of the problem is the new “out of town” shopping centers. In the past, people often walked to shops near their home or went by bus. Many people drive to the new shopping centers now. As a result, the small shops have disappeared and more people have to travel to do their shopping.
Critics (批评家) say that Britain needs better and cheaper public transport (交通). Transport in Britain is very expensive. An early morning train trip from Glasgow to London (about 600km) can cost about £100, for example. A short 15-minute bus trip can cost over £1.00.
Many people are trying to reduce(减少)the use of cars in Britain. Some cities now have special bicycle paths (小道) and many people go to work by bike. Some people also travel to work together in one car to reduce the pollution and cost.
