fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. they move for different reasons most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded. when cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. the most famous migration（迁移）is probably the migration of the fish, which is called “salmon”. this fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. there it spends its life. when it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. then it gives birth and dies there. in northern europe, there is a kind of mice. they leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. they move down to the low land. sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea. recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobsters（龙虾）. every year, when the season of bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go. so, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we dont. maybe living things just like to travel. 41. most animals move from one place to another at a certain time to _ . a. give birth b. enjoy warmer weather c. find food more easily d. find beautiful places 42. the fish called “salmon” spends a long life in _. a. salt water b. rivers c. fresh water d. its birthplace 43. the mice in

migration. c. living things move from one place to another because they like to travel. d. sometimes we know why and how living things move from one place to another, but sometimes we dont.b most chinese people these days know what it is like to have an “english teacher”, since almost all pupils study english from their third year. usually that first english teacher will be a young and lovely lady in primary school. but my first english teacher is no other than my father. looking back, i can see that, when i was only a little girl, he created an english environment by providing me with flashcards，fun english- language toys and even dolls which can sing english songs! my interest in english had certainly been awakened (唤起) when i began to learn english at school. just imagine, he went a step further and asked me to learn new concept english by myself! i was puzzled and even angry. i could not understand why a father could be so strict with his little girl. all the same, he never gave up and he gently insisted that i follow through with his idea. at first, i read stories with tears and i actually hated them because they were too difficult for me. in the end, i came to love the funny stories and, to be honest, my father was always there with a helping hand. i am sure that my english would never have got so far without his support. and thats why my father is not only my first english teacher but also my lifelong teacher. he is one who awoke my interest, and who gave me much confidence .46most pupils in china begin to learn english_.ain primary school bfrom parents

at school bmy father-my first and lifelong english teachercthe relationship between my father and me dive made progress in english learning cangela chang didnt know it would be so hard to turn her singing hobby into a career. her agent used to take her to lots of auditions（试唱）at different recording studios but the taiwanese girl was always turned down for looking too young and small.chang s talent was finally recognized in 2002 by the decca record company. when she was offered a contract she burst into tears. two years later chang, 21, is a star. with the release of her debut album “over the rainbow” this year, she won the “most promising new artist in taiwan” at the cctv-mtv music awards in july. in september she won the “best new artist” in the fourth chinese music billboard awards.“you just cant believe that such an amazingly powerful voice comes from such a small body,” said musicians after hearing chang sing “over the rainbow.” “its such a special voice. you cannot forget it.” chang can hit very high motes（高音）clearly and beautifully.her tunes make chang stand out from the numerous newcomers in the music world. but mainland fans also know her for her girl-next-door performances in taiwanese tv dramas, “my mvp valentine” and “at dolphin bay”.but few people know that while filming her first tv series, chang acted so badly that the director wanted to fire her. at one time it took her a record of 27 attempts to shoot one scene.“i cried my heart out when i went back home.” change said, “but i know that defeat is often a temporary condition. by giving up you remain defeated.” though she looks very girlish, chang said she has a boys personality. “the way i release pressure is to have a sound sleep. when i wake up, everything is new.”51the first paragraph mainly tells us .achangs hard way to successbchangs appearancecchang was looked down upon dchang has no talent in singing52when changs talent was recognized, she .afelt doubtful bwas

effortsddana cummings was in his thirties before he first went surfing. that is older than most first timers. but, even more interesting is that dana cummings chose to learn the sport after losing a leg in a car accident. now, nine years later, he helps other disabled people learn how to ride the waves in ampsurf.on the coast of maine, he is working with 27-year-old matthew fish, who is partly blind. cummings takes hold of fish and leads him into the ocean. after a few attempts he is up and riding all the way back to land. “that was a thrill,” fish says.a car accident in 2002 took his leg. dana cummings says the crash changed him more than just physically. “it took me to lose my leg to realize how precious life is and get off the couch and start living. i do more things now than i ever did before. next week i am going to compete in a contest in hawaii, ” dana says.one year later, dana cummings formed ampsurf. ampsurf is a none-profit group that holds surfing classes and events for people with all kinds of disabilities.recently, ampsurf took its training programs to the east coast. eleven students attended the class in maine. they had come from all over the northeastern united states.dana cummings thinks ampsurf can change the way a disabled person thinks. “for most people with disabilities, everybody focuses on their disability during their whole life, and we want them to see what they can do. who cares, you lose your leg or you are blind, whatever. have fun. just enjoy 56.we can know that dana cummings learnt surfinga. before he had a car accident b. at an older age

is also made out of software. if you come to visit, youll probably be surprised when you come in. someone will give you an electronic pin （个人身份号码）to wear. this pin tells the house who and where you are. the house uses this information to give you what you need. when its dark outside, the pin turns on the lights nearest you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. music moves with you too. if the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. the music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. if you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings. of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. there is a home control console (控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you. the pin and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. if you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. if i give you my car keys, you can use my car. the car works for you because you have the keys. my house works for you because you wear the pin or hold the console. i believe that ten years from now, most new homes will have the systems that ive put in my house. the systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones ive put in today. i like to try new ideas. i know that some of my ideas will work better than others. but i hope that one day i will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, “how will i live without them?”61. what does the passage mainly discuss?a. how to develop a new system. b. the function of the
