An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old son. Suddenly a crow(烏鴉) landed on their window.

   The father asked his son, “What is that?”

   The son replied, “That is a crow.”

   After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is that?”

   The son said, “Father, I told you just now. It is a crow.”

After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for the third time, “What is this?”

This time his son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? I have told you already. ‘IT IS A CROW.’ Are you not able to understand this?”

A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page:

Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow suddenly landed on the window edge. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied him 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not at all feel angry, but instead felt affection for my son.

If you parents reach old age, do not look at them as a burden, but speak to them gently, and be kind to them. From today say this aloud, “I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me ever since I was a little child. They have always showered me with love. I will take care of my old parents in the BEST way no matter how they behave.”

The Galapagos a far-away archipelago(群島) and largely untouched by man, is now facing a problem. Its local people, who live on the island of Santa Cruz, want to develop the business and tourist potential（旅游資源）of the island. Recently, they are locked in a bitter struggle with the naturalists who work at the Charles Darwin Centre, also on Santa Cruz. The naturalists want to protect the island’s wildlife which is already suffering as a result of human activity.

The animals’ great threat used to be sailors who, hundreds of years ago, robbed the islands for food. They wiped out about 250,000 Giant Tortoises. For example, on Pinta, one of the smallest islands, there are no Giant Tortoises left at all. The last survivor, an 80-year-old Giant Tortoise called Lonesome George, lives under the protection of naturalists at the Darwin Centre.

Today, the island’s animals are no longer hunted for food. But other dangers have replaced the threat from sailors. Goats, for example, introduced over the years by man, have gone wild. With no natural enemies, their number has reached 10,000 on the largest of the Galapagos islands, Isabella. They are eating huge quantities of plants, and robbed the remaining Giant Tortoises of food. The problem is now so bad that the National Park Service has hired hunters to kill the goats in order to save the Giant Tortoise from dying out.

Today, you can find the Giant Tortoises on the island of _______.

A. Santa Cruz           B. Pinta             C. Isabella           D. Galapagos

Which of the following shows the right relationship between the Galapagos, Isabella, Pinta and Santa Cruz?

A. The Galapagos>Pinta>Isabella>Santa Cruz         

B. Isabella>Santa Cruz>the Galapagos>Pinta

C. The Galapagos>Isabella>Santa Cruz>Pinta         

D. Isabella>the Galapagos>Pinta>Santa Cruz

We can learn from the article the greatest danger to the Giant Tortoises is from________.

A. sailors         B. hunters            C. goats            D. the local people

From the first paragraph we can infer that _____.

A. the naturalists try to help the local people with their interest.

B. The local people pay more attention to the economic growth than the wildlife there,

C. The animals and plants are of great importance to the local.

D. The naturalists don’t care about the local people at all

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

An 80-year-old couple was having problems remembering things, so they decided to go to their doctor to get checked out to make sure nothing was wrong with them.

When they arrived at the doctor’s, they explained to the doctor about the problems they were having with their memory. After checking the couple out, the doctor told them that they were physically okay but might want to start writing things down and make notes to help them remember things. The couple thanked the doctor and left.

Later that night, while watching TV, the man got up from his chair and his wife asked, “Where are you going?”

He replied, “To the kitchen.”

She asked, “Will you get me a cup of ice cream?”

He replied, “Sure.”

She then asked him, “Don’t you think you should write it down so you can remember it?”

He said, “No, I can remember that.”

She then said, “Well, I would also like some strawberries on top. You had better write that down because I know you’ll forget that.”

He said, “I can remember that. You want a cup of ice cream with strawberries.”

She replied, “Well, I also would like some whipped cream on top. I know you will forget that so you’d better write it down.”

With anger in his voice, he said, “I don’t need to write that down! I can remember that.” He then went into the kitchen.

After about 20 minutes he returned from the kitchen and handed her a plate of bacon and eggs. She stared at the plate for a moment and said angrily, “I told you to write it down! You forgot my bread!”

56. The doctor suggested the couple that they should ____.

A. asked him to take her an ice cream

B. complained he forgot to take her bread
