fifty-third birthday just weeks before grandpa died of cancer in 1965. although his passing was very difficult for her, i think their shared struggle to make his life longer taught grandma that good health was not to be taken forgranted, and she made up her mind to live the rest of her own life as fully and as long as she could. one day, when she announced to attend lessons at the fred astaire dance studio in portland, oregon, where she lived, we rolled our eyes in embarrassment and helplessly wished she would just stay home and bake cookies as normal grandmothers did. many years filled with countless dance lessons passed before we learned to appreciate the wonder of having a dancing grandma. i suppose grandmas primary motivation for wanting to learn to dance was social. she had been a shy girl, always very tall and heavy, and had married into grandpas quiet lifestyle before developing any elegance or confidence in her personal appearance. dancing, on the other hand, filled her life with flash lights, wonderful parties, beautiful dresses, handsome young dance instructors, and the challenge of learning. although the weekly dance lessons did not change her ample, two-hundred-pound figure, grandma surprised everyone with energetic performances on the dance floor, which soon gave her as much elegance and confidence as any miss american competitor. having taken weekly dance lessons for years, my grandma learned various dances easily and was soon participating in dancing matches all over the northwest. when i was fourteen, grandma proudly invited me to watch her compete in one of these matches to be held in the grand ballroom of the red lion inn. my attitude was still unenthusiastic at that point, but to make her happy, my mother and i attended the match. as if to prove me wrong, grandma made a wonderful showing in every event she entered. i thought she was truly the queen of the ball during the dance, and my thoughts were shared by the judges a short time later when she was awarded a gold cup for her outstanding performance.56. what did grandma learn from grandpas death? a. good health was not there for everyone. b. she should take dance lessons.c. she had to struggle to live a better life. d. she should wear beautiful dresses.57. how did the authors family feel when grandma decided to take dance lessons? a. hopeless. b. helpless. c. embarrassed. d. proud.58. normal grandmas usually _ in the authors point of view?a. took dance lessons b. did some exercises at homec. took care of grandchildren at home d. did some housework at home59. the author felt _ when he was invited to watch grandmas match.a. happy b. proud c. excited d. uninterested60. the text is mainly about a. my grandmas confidence b. my dancing grandmac. my grandmas dancing d. my grandmas gold cup b plan on traveling around the usa this summer if you need help in arranging the trip，or want ideas about where to go and what to do, there are a number of

california theme parkscrunning like the wind, roaring (咆哮) like thunder, tigers have long been feared and respected as a king of the animal world. but last week a report said that there are no more than 30 wild tigers left in south china.this was the conclusion of a team of scientists from chinas state forestry administration and the world nature fund.the south china tiger, also known as the chinese tiger, is native to southern china. in the 1950s, there were over 4000 tigers found in mountain forests in the country. but due to the destruction of their natural habitat and uncontrolled hunting, it has been pushed on to the list of the worlds top ten most endangered species.sixtysix of the big cats can be found in the cages of a dozen zoos around china. but they are nothing like their wild cousins. they have lost their natural skills such as hunting and killing. if they were set free they could not look after themselves. “breeding has damaged the quality of the species”， said pei enle, deputy director of the shanghai zoo.to reintroduce the species into the wild, the country started a programme to send five to ten young tigers to south africa. four of them have already arrived. progress has been made as two elder tigers have recovered some of their instincts(本能) and can hunt wild animals by themselves at the african base.“south africans are very experienced in reintroducing big animals to the wild. the country has very good natural conditions for the tigers to learn in”， said lu jun, office director of the national wildlife research and development center.“we tried in fujian province, but it was not successful as there was not a complete ecochain(生物链) and there was a lack of space.” the tigers should return to china in 2007 when the reservations in fujian are ready.65what is the main reason for the south china tiger becoming one of the worlds top ten most endangered species?a. because it has lost its natural instincts.b. because there is not a complete ecochain.c. because there is no space for it.d .because uncontrolled hunting has destroyed its natural living conditions.66how is the programme of sending several tigers to south africa getting on?a. its effect still remains to be seen.b. two tigers can already compete with their wild cousins.c. some of the tigers are already on the road to recovering their natural skills.d. the tigers should be able to recover their instincts completely by 2007.67by saying “but they are nothing like their wild cousins”， the writer means that_.a. they are no longer feared by other wild animalsb. they dont know how to hunt or killc. a complete change has resulted in the species because of breedingd. to reintroduce them into the wild has become an urgent task68what is the purpose of sending young tigers to south africa?a. to help the tigers recover their ability to live in the wild.b. to provide them with a better environment. c. to get the tigers to go on a tour.d. to find a complete ecochain for them.69which one is not the reason for south africa being chosen as the training place?a. because the tigers can hunt wild animals by themselves at the african base.b. because south africans are skilled at dealing with the tigers.c. because there is a complete ecochain and enough space there.d. because the country has good natural conditions for the tigers to learn in. d.chicago is considering firm measures to prevent the asian carp，a giant fish native to the far east，from coming into north americas great lakes in large numberssuch a move could cost up to$18bn，a heavy economic burden to the city.this species，more than a metre in length，was originally introduced three decades ago to control weeds in sewage(污水)treatment plantsbut they escaped into the mississippi river and increased in number quickly，making their way north towards the great lakes and threatening the native fish species along the way. “dozens of them will often leap out of the water as boats approachmichael beecham，a local environmental expert，described how frightening the scene was“ive gone down the river and seen these fish jump up and hit me in the faceit is a big problem for our native species，” he said .a meeting has been organized to find a technological solution to the carp problem，one of which involves blocking parts of chicagos canal systemlistening at the meeting was john goss，who was worried about the effect that having barriers in the canal system would have on industry“it would certainly increase the cost of transportation，”he told“it is currently very cheap and efficient to bring materials and finished goods down the chicago ship canal. another cheaper option is to eat the fish out of existencedirk fucik is selling carp burger(鲤鱼汉堡包)at his fish shop not far from downtown chicagohe t
