Unlike other gifts, it came without wrap(包装).On September 11th. 1958. Mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap, saying. I promised you a gift, and here it is. What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. I told it over and over how much I loved it!One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as hopeless, pitiful, and dying, which sounded ominous.Christmas was ing. Dont expect any presents this year. Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. If your baby brother lives, thatll be Christmas enough. As he spoke, his eyes were filled with tears. Id never seen him cry before.The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say. What? Hes all right? He hung up and shouted upstairs. The hospital said we can bring Richard home!Thank God. I heard Mum cry.From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them so happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My sacks still hung there flat. But I knew they were not empty; they were filled with love!1. what happened to the author on September 11 1958 ?A He got a baby brother B He got a Christmas gift C He became four years old D He received a doll 2.What does the underlined word “ominous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean？A.

Arent you just tired of being told what to do with your time?Now you have a list to end all lists!Take a look at the following two examples from the list of 101 things not to do:Swim with Dolphins（海豚）？ Swimming with dolphins is one of the worlds most profitable tourist activities. However, not every dolphin will wele having their busy ,tiring day interrupted by tourists screaming pushing around them in the water. Worse yet, when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded with tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋桨).Heres a little secret. Dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually theyre just opening their mouths.Go to See the Mona Lisa?There must be something about the mysterious(神秘的)smile. The 6 million people who visit the lady in the Louvre(罗浮宫) every year cant all be wrong after all.

CAlong the river banks of the Amazon and the Orinoco there lives a bird that swims before it can fly, flies like a fat chicken, eats green leaves, has the stomach of a cow and has claws (爪) on its wings when young. They build their homes about 4.6m above the river, an important feature (特征) for the safety of the young. It is called the hoatzin. In appearance, the birds of both sexes look very much alike with brown on the back and cream and red on the underside. The head is small, with a large set of feathers on the top, bright red eyes, and blue skin. Its nearest relatives are the mon birds, cuckoos. Its most striking feature, though, is only found in the young. Baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each wing and another at the end of each wing tip. Using these four claws, together with the beak (喙), they can climb about in the bushes, looking very much like primitive birds must have done. When the young hoatzins have learned to fly, they lose their claws. During the drier months between December and March hoatzins fly about the forest in groups of 20 to 30 birds, but in April, when the rainy season begins, they collect together in smaller living units of two to seven birds for producing purposes.9What is the text mainly about?AHoatzins in dry and rainy seasons.
