Although they can stay under water for up to fifteen minutes at a time, dolphins, 32 whales, must come to breathe air through a hole on the top of their heads. Dolphins are social animals. Many of them even enjoy being around humans. 33 being playful, they are helpful to men. For example, 34 400BC, A Greek poet Arion was saved from drowning by a dolphin.

Its old meaning is used to express that the temperature is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings.“Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say: “its cool.”“ Hes so cool,” you may think when you see your favorite footballer.We all maximize(扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here is an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall(瀑布) they had visited. On one students paper was just one sentence: “ Its so cool.” Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.But the story also shows a scarcity(缺乏) of words.

Not many people understood it. Not many people said yes to it. Today much of that is changing. The first computer system was introduced for use in business in the mid-1950s. Since then, the number of computer systems used in business, government offices, and institutions has grown rapidly. In 1975, about 250 000 systems were in use in the United States. This figure is growing by tens of thousands every year.The electric computer is an important factor in our lives. Each year we use computer more and more to help us to collect data and to provide us with information. At one time people thought computers were only useful to banks, department stores, and governments. But today the rapidly increasing number of computers are used for many other purposes. Have you ever stopped to think how you are affected by a computer? The clothes you wear were probably made with the help of a computer. The newspaper you read could have been edited and typed by a computer. Even radio programmes are often prepared by computers.Computers today are playing important roles in education, transportation and medicine. They are used to predict the weather, to examine the ocean, and to develop defense systems. They are being used by businesses, governments, and institutions. There is no reason to think that their uses will become a greater part of our lives.The influence of the computer is great. The list of its uses could go on and on.

They dug a hole in the wall of the house. One of them crawled (爬) into the house while the other waited outside.There lived many mice in the house. The woman in the moonlight saw a mouse crawl into the house. “Look! In comes one,” she said to the man in the house. The thief was so frightened that he hurriedly crawled out of the house and said to the one waiting outside: “She found me when I was just in”. but the thief outside didnt believe him, so he said, “Let us two try to crawl into the house together.” At that time two mice happened to crawl into the house, too. The two thieves were terribly frightened. The man in the house said, “You saw them come in but where are they, I will catch them tonight.” The two thieves started running away at once.The two thieves wanted do make it clear whether they had been found or not the night before. The next day they acted as men selling sweet potatoes and came in front of the house. The man and the woman were ploughing in their fields. The rein broke and the women came home for a rope.

Its also common for them to go on what experts call food jags that is, they want to eat the same few foods over and over again at every meal, while turning up their noses at anything new. “Its a fear of new things,” says Nancy Hudson, a researcher in University of California, Berkeley. “We think its one of those quirks（怪癖） that humans probably developed to protect themselves as mankind came into this world. You dont try new things because you dont know if theyre safe.” Children like familiar things, whether theyre their beds or their afternoon tea, so most kids wont try new foods until theyve been shown to them many times.Picky（挑剔的） eating can also be a childs way of showing his independence. This is why forcing a child to eat often makes things worse. Finally, it may seem like your child cannot sit still long enough to eat very much at one sitting because of his short attention. But children are generally good at getting what they need, even if it doesnt seem like much to you. In any case, you can try to keep your child at the table longer by making mealtime as calm and regular as possible, without too many distractions（分心的事物） like toys, TV, or pets.63. What does the phrase “turning up their noses at” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Accepting. B. Disliking. C. Putting their noses on. D. Fearing.64. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. Only children like things which they are familiar with.B. Toys are not good for children.C. It seems that children like eating more when they have something they like in their hands. D. Make it a rule to let your child eat at the table when mealtime comes.65. Acc
