I loved to play basketball but was afraid to go to tryout (选拔)for the schools team because I didnt know anyone. One day all that changed when I missed the bus home and decided to shoot baskets on the school playground to kill time. The coach Mr Colbath had been watching me make various baskets and was pretty impressed with my moves. He came up to me and asked me who had taught me to play like that. I told him that my dad had taught me how to play basketball. He asked me if he would see me at the tryout on Friday. But I said no and told him why. He told me to have a try because I played very well and would maybe make some friends on the court. After thinking for a few minutes. I finally decided to have a try. On the day of the tryout, the coach came, found me and helped me practice before the tryout. He helped me a lot and I did very well at the tryout and many members of the team were quite impressed.

He helped me do my math which I had such a difficult time with and he even taught me how to live independently.I will never forget Mr Colbath. He really inspired me and changed my life.

CA person can use all five senses while spending time with dolphins. We can see them play in the waves, hear them call, and feel their skin. Dolphins can sense you, too, but not in all the same ways. They have good eyesight, for example, but no sense of smell. Sensory biologists try to understand connections between animal behaviors and the senses. One team of these scientists recently made an unexpected discovery about certain dolphins.The researchers found that Guiana dolphins can detect electric fields, an ability that may help them find fish to eat. The secret to this newly found sense, say the scientists, is hidden in the dolphins snouts (口鼻部)“We were really surprised to find this in the dolphin. Nobody had expected it,” said Wolf Hanke, who led the new dolphin study.Hanke and his team suspected the dolphins electrosense might have something to do with small dimples (酒窝) on the animals snout. “We thought they must have some functions,” Hank said. To find out for certain, his team studied two Guiana dolphins.The scientists first studied the dimples of a 29yearold dolphin that had died of natural causes. Under a microscope, the dimples looked familiar: they were similar to the sensors used by other animals to detect electric fields.Next, Hanke and his team tested a live dolphin, a 28yearold named Paco, to see if he could recognize an electric field. They taught Paco to swim close to a device that could create a weak electric field in the water. Then the team taught Paco to swim away from the device if he detected any changes. When the scientists created an electric field, Paco swam awayshowing that he knew something had changed. When there was no electric field, Paco stayed there. When Pacos snout was covered in plastic, he didnt react to the electric field.Pacos behavior told the scientists that the dolphin used his snout to detect the tiny electric field. “This is a major breakthrough,” Peter Madsen, a sensory biologist, said.58. From the passage we learn that_A. the ability to detect electric fields helps Guiana dolphins surviveB. Guiana dolphins can create electric fieldsC. dolphins dont have the same senses as humans D. the sensors to detect electric fields are hidden in the dolphins eyes59.

What is Peter Madsens attitude towards the research?A. Cautious. B. Negative. C. Indifferent. D. Positive.DMiep Gies, the woman who hid the Dutch girl Anne Franks diary from the Nazis to become one of the worlds most-read books, died after a brief illness at the age of 100. It was Gies who guarded Annes diary, and presented it to the girls father, Otto, when he returned from the Auschwitz concentration camp(奥斯威辛集中营) at the end of World War the only one of his family to survive.

At great risk to her own safety, she and four other helpers brought food and supplies to the Frank family hiding in a secret office building for more than two years. When she turned 100, Gies tried to play down her own role. “Im not a hero,” she said. “It wasnt something I planned in advance. I simply did what I could to help.”Every day she received letters from all over the world with questions about her relationship with Anne Frank and her role as a helper.
