This was not going to be a Mother’s Day as before. A lot of things had changed in the last few months. Usually we would give Mom flowers and take her out for a big meal. We couldn’t afford it this year.
Since I was born, Mom had been able to stay at home with me. We always had enough money to go out to eat two or three times a week if I had behaved well.
All that changed in January.
I could tell that Dad was getting a little angry. Mom would tell me to be quiet and let him rest at night. He’d work later and later.
Beginning in February, Dad tried hard to find another job. But it wasn’t easy for him to find something at the level he used to. He could not bring in as much money. That’s when he asked my mom to go back to work.
After a couple of weeks, Mom found a full-time job at a bank. The pay would be a big help to the family, but now Mom would not be around as much. I didn’t like it. I now had to stay in the after-school care program instead of going home and playing in my neighborhood. Too bad was, as soon as I did get home, I had to help get dinner ready, because Mom wouldn’t get home until after 6:00. I really missed the past time.
a)        This was not going to be a Mother’s Day as before because the writer’s father wasn’t in
b)       The writer’s home used to be rich. 
c)        His family changed because his father was mad.
d)       In February, the writer’s mother started to work at a bank.
e)        The writer really wanted his mother to stay with him

A predator(捕食性動(dòng)物) kills and eats other animals as prey(獵物).Sometimes it also becomes food for other predators. Polar bears are the largest of all the land predators. They can run across snow and swim in icy water for hours without rest. Their favorite food is seal. Not all big animals live on small animals. Hippos have heavy bodies and huge mouths. But they don’t eat animals. They just eat grass.
Some predators use speed to catch their prey. Cheetahs are the fastest animals on land. They can run up to 70km an hour. Other predators use their senses to find their food. Sharks can see, smell, hear, feel and taste. They can also sense electrical currents(電流 )from other animals’ bodies. Some fish try to hide themselves, but with this sixth sense, sharks can always find them. Sharks have smooth bodies. This helps them swim without using lots of energy. They need to save their energy because they never really sleep and never stop hunting. Flying is a useful skill for many predators in the sky. The butcher bird is the most interesting predator. It has a special way of eating its prey. First it kills its prey. Then it hangs it on a fence or in a tree, just like a butcher hangs meat in his shop. Finally, it eats its prey.
Some people hunt and kill more animals than any other predator. They not only hunt for food. They also hunt for fun. They kill sharks for their fins, and tigers for skins. Those human hunters are the worst predators on Earth.
小題1:The following statements are about “predators”, which one is true?
A.A predator kills and eats other animals as prey.
B.A predator not only eat animals, but eat grass.
C.A predator can eat other animals, but also can be eaten.
D.A predator can both run across snow and swim in icy water for hours.
小題2:How many kinds of predators are mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A.ThreeB.FourC.FiveD.Six
小題3:Why do sharks can find some fish that try to hide themselves?
A.Because sharks can see, smell, hear, feel and taste.
B.Because sharks can sense electrical currents(電流 )from other animals’ bodies
C.Because sharks have smooth bodies.
D.Because sharks never really sleep and never stop hunting.
小題4:Some people are also predators, they hunt and kill more animals for ________.
A.Sharks’ finsB.Tigers’ skinsC.foodD.food and fun
小題5:Among the sharks, the tigers, the polar bears and some people, which are the most dangerous predators on earth?
