But in May, 2016, President Barack Obama signed a law naming the bison (野牛) the national mammal. Since then, the eagle has had to share its perch.The North American bison has long been a symbol of the West. “No other native animal tells Americas story better. It is a long-lasting symbol of power, Native American culture, and the Western wildness. At one time, tens of millions of bison lived in North America. For Native American communities, bison were a source of food and clothing. Bison were at the very heart of their traditional way of life,” says Missouri congressman William Lacy Clay Jr.That way of life changed in the mid-1800s. People began to travel west and hunt bison. Some hunted for the same reason as Native Americans did. But others killedbison for sport. In 1894, it became illegal to kill bison. But it was almost too late. By the early 1900s, fewer than 1,000 wild bison remained in America.Some people realized the animals needed to be saved. President Theodore Roosevelt, William Hornaday the first director of the Bronx Zoo, in New York City and others formed the American Bison Society. The group was to bring back the bison. Native American tribes (部落) and locals also joined the fight. By the mid-1930s, bison were no longer in danger.Today, there are about 500,000 North American bison. They live in all 50 states.“Only about 30,000 of those animals are living as truly wild bison. Others live onprotected lands or in zoos,” says Pat Thomas, the associate director of the Bronx Zoo.Thomas says naming the bison the national mammal was an important step in making sure the animal is well protected. “This recognition is beginning to complete the circle,” he says,“ from a time when there were millions of wild bison, to when bison were hunted until they nearly died out, to the beginning of the recovery.”53. What can we infer from Williams words?A. Bison have become popular worldwide.B. The bison plays an important role in America.C. Bison were protected well in North America.D. The bison is far more important than the eagle.54. What did the American Bison Society do in the mid-1930s?A. It brought back bison to the Bronx Zoo.B. It fought with Native American tribes.C. It introduced a new law on bison.D. It succeeded in saving bison.55. What did Thomas think of the May law on bison?A. He supported it.B. He was against it.C. He was surprised at it.D. He thought it was too late.56. Why was the bison named the national mammal?A. To ensure that it is well protected.B. To make sure it can live freely.C. To introduce it to more people.D. To provide enough land for it.CHalloween has always been my favorite holiday. As a child, I looked forward all year to dressing up and going trick-or-treating. I still love putting on costumes and cutting pumpkins. However, with childhood obesity on the rise, many parents nowadays want to limit added sugars in their childrens diets.I spoke to dozens of parents about how they deal with Halloween candy. Some parents avoid taking their kids trick-or-treating and take them swimming or doing other sports instead. Their kids havent complained. And then there are parents who take their kids trick-or-treating and maybe let them have a couple of pieces of candy that evening. Once the kids are in bed, the parents change the candy for a toy.A Pennsylvania State University study shows, however, that girls who have treats on a regular basis eat less of these foods when they are offered them and are likely to have a better body shape. Another study from the Netherlands compared the eating behaviors of children who were told they couldnt have sweets or were allowed to eat what they wanted. The restricted ( 受限制的) groups wanted more of the foods they werent allowed to have and ate more on the whole.As a food expert, I tell parents to see Halloween as a learning opportunity. Sweets and other treats are part of life, and keeping kids from less healthy foods doesnt teach them how to manage them and control their eating as adults. Its fine for kids to have a few pieces of candy a day, for example, as dessert after a meal. One way to do this is to have a piece of candy with lunch. This encourages mindful eating rather than distracted (注意力分散的) eating in front of the TV. Eating small amounts of treats should help kids learn to enjoy them more so theyre satisfied.57. How did the author experience Halloween differently from todays kids?A. She missed some activities because of obesity.B. She was forced to do some sports.C. She enjoyed herself heartily.D. She preferred toys to candy.58. What can be learned from the Netherlands study?A. Girls are less attracted to sweets.B. Eating habits are formed from childhood.C. Eating some candy can be helpful for kids.D. Keeping foods from kids doesnt teach self-control.59. What does the author suggest about sweets?A. Avoiding them as much as possible.B. Enjoying them with the family.C. Sharing them with friends.D. Having some with meals.60. The parents deal with Halloween candy EXCEPT_A. They take them swimming or doing other sports.B. They avoid taking their kids trick-or-treating.C. They punish their children if they eat the candy. D. They change the candy for a toy.第二节 七选五填空（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。If you are already making the time to exercise, it is good indeed!
