but i couldnt stop. they were close behind. i could not, i would not go back. they only saw my black skin and did not know of the human soul that lived under by flesh.the sound of the dogs came closer. i hid myself in the shadows beneath the trees above me, thankful for the first time for my black skin. my bare feet bled. the moonlight threatened to give me away. its brightness seemed to make fun of me as i ran. even the moon was white. the whole world seemed to be made for people with a white surface. suddenly i fell down to the forest floor. my legs begged me not to make them run. i ignored them and desperately tried to escape and run away from these evil people, the moon, and my own dark skin. it was a failed attempt. i had hardly ran ten steps when the dogs teeth were in my face. tears burned my face, tears of anger, hate, and fear. “please!” i begged. “please let me go!” my breath was short, and my whole body was filled with blood. i stopped for breath. “actually were all the same! thats what really matters! please let me go.” “let you go?” a man laughed. “how could it be? you were born to serve us.” they laughed as they marched along, pulling me by a long rope like a dog. i was exhausted after running for days and i could feel that blood was flowing down my body. at last, i fell down in the grass, covered with blood. my soul moved away from my body and i

and thats important.” starting in 1949 as a high school band director and later as director of the troy university band, johnny long became known as one of the most inspirational band directors in america. more than three hundred of his students went on to become band directors them-selves. “i have been a band director for more than 60 years and all i know about the word band is that you spell it f-u-n,” long said. “and if you change that, its over.”long retired 14 years ago to spend more time with his wife mary lynn. but his passion (热情) for bands never went away. he dreamed of forming a top-notch (拔尖的) community band in troy. but troy is a small town with not a ton of top-notch talent. “i didnt think it would work, i really didnt,” long said. fortunately, there was one thing johnny hadnt considered: the devotion of his former students. now, once a week during the concert season, they drive in from all over the south and across the decades. 65-year-old bobby johnson was in longs first college class. he lives in atlanta and drives 3 hours to practice. johnson said he does it because longs “such a unique character and i just admire him so much.”many people do it for the same reason. “hes the single biggest influence on my career.” “he was a father figure to me. hes just a genuine person.” long said he wanted to be remembered as a teacher. “i think teacher is the greatest

cin a little-known part of the counter-terrorism (反恐怖主义) world, one of the most effective detection systems is a 600-pound animal that works for about 20 pounds of fish a day.since the 1960s, the united states and a handful of other countries have trained dolphins and sea lions to detect sea mines and swimmers, and to recover worn-out torpedoes (鱼雷) and testing objects used in naval (海军的) exercises.the u.s. navy kept its marine mammal program a secret until the 1990s, and this spring cnn became one of the first members of the media to witness firsthand how the program works.the program trains about 75 pacific bottlenose dolphins, with natural biosonar (生物声纳) that tracks better than any manmade device; and 35 california sea lions, with very good underwater eyesight.not only do these trained marine mammals track and save millions of dollars in u.s. military equipment, they are also helping to save lives. the navy wont reveal whether the dolphins and sea lions have effectively stopped terrorists attempting to do harm to the u.s.a key part of the training program is teaching these mammals how to stop potentially unfriendly swimmers. the program is also positioned to defend against swimmer terrorist attacks as well.in the digital age, it seems that there should be more advanced approaches to guard the navys most expensive things. but according to rothe, the program director, nothing in todays high-technology world can compete with these mammals biosonar abilities. “i hope that one day there is a robot or a uuv (un-manned underwater vehicle) that makes the mammal program out of date,” he said. “but right now this is the best thing out there.”64. the u.s. marine mammal program trained marine mammals to _.a. stop dangerous swimmers b. catch 20 pounds of fish a dayc. destroy sea mines d. fire torpedoes65. the u.s. trained dolphins because they _.a. are clever b. swim very fast c. have natural biosonar d. have good underwater eyesight66. what can we learn from the last paragraph?a. the trained dolphins are the best way of protection available to the u.s. navy.b. there will be dolphin-like robots in the future according to rothe.c. the mammal program will become useless soon.d. rothe has no faith in todays high technology.67. which of the following is true according to the text?a. many countries have trained sea animals for counter-terrorism.b. the marine mammal program was a secret until the 1960s.c. the trained sea animals have already stopped some terrorists.d. the u.s. navy has trained both dolphins and sea lions.dthe most common problem that worries all of us today is the fear of insecurity. life has become so competitive that every now and then we are struck (遭遇) by the fear of the unknown. with every new turn of events our self-confidence takes a blow. the biggest challenge before every person today is not to lose confidence in ones ability. there are several reasons that affect a persons self-confidence. the most important reason is lack of success. not being able to succeed affects ones self-confidence greatly. this is when one begins to doubt his own ability. in many cases ones self-confidence is low when he feels rejected by society. for example, a person who loses his job gives a wide berth to other people for fear of being questioned about his work. however, this isnt right at all. one needs to think along positive lines in spite of failures. after all it is your life and you have every right to live your life as you wish. the challenge lies in not allowing your self-confidence to decrease. it is very important to believe in yourself. self belief is the secret to success. when success doesnt come to you, you should not allow your self belief to be affected. always keep in mind that success is sure to come in time. so, there is nothing wrong with your ability. whenever lack of success causes you to doubt your ability, dont forget to remind yourself that quick success does not last long. also remember not to compare yourself to others. these tips will do a world of good to your confidence. in order to be self-confident, you need to have a lifestyle that is right for you. create one and live a life as you want to. leave others to themselves.68. according to the text, what causes people to fear the unknown? a. the low abilities. b. the lack of security. c. the loss of self-confidence. d. the severe competition in life.69. what does the underlined phrase “give a wide berth to” in paragraph 2 mean?a. introduce something to. b. hold a birthday party for. c. make friends with. d. keep away from.70. in the authors opinion, its important that one _. a. should not forget his failures b. should follow others advicec. should not lose heart d. should adjust to
