I had a quarrel with my wife and my son didnt get up on time for school again. However, it was not because of these but because of the following fact that I was angry. We had been out of milk for a while and I could only find three dollars to get a small carton of it (which would last only a day or two). After eating some bread, I was on the bus to work when I saw a little “Donate a Ride” envelope up front. I read that some of those donations would go to women at abuse shelters(避难所) so that they could get to doctors appointments and court dates, etc. I thought I could donate the three dollars in my pocket I had. However, I needed to drink some milk before work, so I changed my decision. I decided to keep the three dollars to buy some milk. Well, since I made that decision, I continued to feel bad and regretted my decision. When I was getting off the bus at the bus stop and was ready to make the short walk to work, I changed my mind again. I decided I could go another week without milk and I would donate that three dollars to “Donate a Ride”. After I finished making that decision, I felt a lot better having done so.

He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disneys cartoon film for children. When Walter Disney heard Nashs voice, he said, “Stop! Thats our duck!”The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film, The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat and worn his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audiences liked him because he was lazy and greedy, and because he lost his temper very easily. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickeys eight nephews. Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasnt a goody-goody, like Mickey.In the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons.

A new study shows that elephants live better in the wild. Researchers studies 4,500 elephants in European zoos and compared them with elephants living in wild. They found that wild elephants are healthier, live longer and reproduce(繁殖) more than those kept in zoos. Many animals live longer in zoos than those who live in the wild. In zoos, they are not worried about some animals that may attack them at any time when in the wild. Theres always plenty to eat. And they are cured when sickness strikes. But when it comes to elephants, the situation is different. The researchers said that zoos do not offer enough space for elephants to walk about as much as 30 miles a day. Too little exercise and too much food are causing zoo elephants to put on extra pounds. The weight gain can lead to heart disease and other health problems. Even the baby elephants born in zoos are heavier than those born in the wild. Bringing Asian and African elephants together in zoos has also caused problems. A disease that is not dangerous for African elephants has spread to Asian elephants, and is harming them. “ Zoos have accidentally created this,” says Mason. “Its killing Asian adult elephants.” Exerts point out that keeping elephants in zoos isnt a problem for the animals only; its also quite costly for humans. In the last 10 years, zoos have spent about $500 million on caged space for about 250 animals.69. Compared with wild elephants, elephants in zoos _.A. live longer B. are heavier C. are healthier D. reproduce more70. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us that _.A. baby elephants are difficult to live in zoosB. elephants walk as long as miles a dayC. little room to wander leads to problems for elephantsD. too much food in zoos leads to heart disease for elephants71. What can we learn from the passage?A. Asian elephants are more easily attacked by diseases than African elephants.B. The diseases of zoo elephants are caused by being overweight.C. Zoos free the elephants because of the cost of keeping them.D. Elephants live better in the wild than in zoos.72. The passage is probably taken from _.A. the zoo rules B. a guide book C. a healthy program D. a science magazineEWhat makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better fo
