C ★★★★★
Farmers digging a field near Chelsea,Michigan,were surprised to uncover a nearly complete mammoth skeleton The mammoth once lived there about 12 ,000 years ago. The Ice Age bones raise a question about whether people or a changing climate killed the beasts.
Researcher Dan Fisher is from the University of Michigan. He believes that prehistoric people killed the newly found mammoth,and put what they didn't immediately eat in a freezing lake. Other scientists say they are not certain what killed the creature until the bones are examined for cut marks and other evidence.
There is little evidence that humans hunted mammoths,says Donald Grayson of the University of Washington. A paper notes that of 76 Ice Age mammal kill sites,only 12 in the whole of North America suggest human hunting. That suggests that over-hunting was not the primary cause of the extinction of the mammoth.
Climate might have been key to the disaster. As humans were moving onto the continent,the global climate was rapidly changing,moving from cold and dry to warm and wet.
This changing climate rapidly swept out the cool,dry grasslands that mammoths preferred. Combined with other (生態(tài)的) changes,such as the arrival of bison (野牛) from Europe and Asia and forests springing up here grasslands once spread,mammoths were driven out of their former living places. The very last of the mammoths on Wrangel Island off northern Siberia died out about 4 ,000 years ago.
Extinction is rarely the result of a single cause. Perhaps,as the Chelsea mammoth slowly tells its secrets,it will add a little more to the continuing discussion over life and death during the Ice Age.
9. What do we know about the newly found mammoth skeleton?
?. It was found in a freezing lake.
B. It was discovered by a scientist,
C. There were cuts on the skeleton.
D. Most of the skeleton were discovered.
10. The paper mentioned in Paragraph 3 proves that
A. mammoths were rare in North America
B. there were 76 mammal kill sites in North America
C. mammoths were overhunted by prehistorical humans
D. overhunting was not the leading cause of mammoths’ extinction
11. Because of the changing climate during the Ice Age, .
A. mammoths could get more food
B. mammoths were suffering from habitat loss
C. mammoths had to move to cool and dry places
D. forests mammoths liked were replaced by grasslands
12. What would be the best title for the text?
A. What killed these giants
B. Mammoths and overhunting
C. The climate change in the Ice Age
D. The reason for extinction uncovered

learning how to see Words
Each time we see the familiar or same thing,we should see something new.
In high school,I had a teacher who made me aware of this concept,although it took many years before I appreciated it fully.
One day,Mrs. Lambert,my English teacher,brought in several baskets filled with all kinds of stuff. Each of us took something and wrote a composition about it for homework. The next day,the baskets reappeared,and we were instructed to select the same object. This time we had to write a composition about the object without repeating anything from the first one.
Over the next few days the same thing happened,with each day bringing an increasing sense of (失意) as we tried to see something new in a familiar object. I will never forget the last piece I wrote about my blue and white Delft fisher boy. After struggling to find something different to say,I got inspired to write a poem. It allowed me to see beyond the porcelain ( figure and into the 從sence (本質(zhì)) of the character. Mrs. Lambert had shown me how to use my own eyes and creativity to see what I otherwise would have looked at and dismissed.
Fifty years later,as I remember Mrs. Lambert,I wonder,are schools today showing kids how to use their own eyes to see beyond the superficial and into the essence of things? This,I believe,is the most important lesson a child can take into adulthood.
True (T) or False (F) :
1. Mrs. Lambert used to give her students too much homework.()
2. It can be inferred from the text that the author is thankful to Mrs. Lambert. ()
