They boys parents told him to stay away from the house, a lot of other neighborhoods children were told the same from their parents.As he was ready to walk away, the door slowly opened. “What do you want?” the old man said. “Uh, sir, I uh am selling these magazines and uh I was wondering if you would like to buy one.” The old man started at the boy. The boy could see inside the old mans house and saw that he had dog figurines（小雕像） on the fireplace mantle. “Do you collect dogs?” the little boy asked. “Yes, I have many collectibles in my house, they are my family here, they are all I have.” The boy then felt sorry for the man, as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul. Then the old man was ready to close the door and said, “No, boy, I dont need any magazines of any kind, now goodbye.”The little boy was sad that he was not going to make his quota with the sale.

One is the Galapagos Islands,where largely strange and unusual birds,animals and plants live and growmany of which are found nowhere else in the world. These islands lie directly on the Equator,about 1,000 kilometers west of the South American mainland.But the Galapagos is now facing a crisis（危机）. Its human inhabitants（居民）, who live on the island of Santa Cruz, want to develop the business and tourist of the islands. Recently, they have been having a serious arguement with the naturalists who work at the Charles Darwin Research Center, also on Santa Cruz. The naturalists want to keep the islands wildlife alive, which is already suffering as a result of human activities.The animals greatest danger used to be sailors who, hundreds of years ago, plundered（掠夺）the islands for food. They wiped out about 250, 000 Giant Tortoises, causing extinction（毁灭）of several species which lived on some of the smaller islands. The last survivor, an 80-yearold Giant Tortoise called Lonely George, lives under the protection of naturalists at the Darwin Center.46. The best topic for this passage is _.A. In Primitive Times B.

It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and I was on the other side. We were both in great anger. “Never set foot in this house again!” stormed father. I rushedout of the flat and ran along the street. The street lights were shining, causing rather a sad feeling. A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree. But now I dont know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always put his opinions and codes of behavior on me. Whenever I do something wrong, he never admits it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. I wandered in the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived ,I saw that the light was still on.I thought to myself: “Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?”All the lights were off except fathers. Dad was always like this. Maybe he didnt know how to express himself. After an argument he has the habit of creeping up(悄悄地来到) in my sleep. This was how he always wasHe has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature. With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron(铁的) door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all.
