I should have no problem crossing the desert ,she thought. As she started, .she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. She tried many times but still failed. Maybe I cant reach the ocean. she said sadly to herself.At this time, a deep voice said, if a wind can cross the desert, so can a river. It was the voice of the desert. But the little river answered,“thats because a wind can fly, but I cant.”“Thats because you cant give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate(蒸发)into the wind, and it can take you across, said the desert.Give up what I am now? No! No!The little river could not accept this idea.The wind can carry the vapor(蒸汽)across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again, said the desert.And whether youre a river or vapor, your nature (本性)never changes.Hearing this, the little river went into the open arms of the wind. It carried her to the other side of the desert.36 .

Some groups believe wolves should be killed. Others believe wolves must be protected.wolvesFor Killing WolvesIn Alaska, the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago because people were killing hundreds of them. However, laws were made to protect the wolves. So the wolf population has greatly increased. Now there are so many wolves that they are destroying their own food supply.A wolf naturally eats animals in the deer family. Many of the animals have been destroyed by the very cold winters and by changes in the wild plant life. When the deer cant find enough good, they will die.If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer, their prey will disappear some day. The wolves will, too. So we must change the cycle (循环) of life in the wild land. In another northern state, wolves kill cows and chickens for food. Farmers believe it necessary to kill wolves in some areas.Against Killing WolvesAccording to most stories, hungry wolves often kill people for food. Even today, the stories of the “big bad wolf” still spread among the people.Actually wolves are afraid of people and they seldom travel in areas where there is a human smell. When wolves eat other animals, they usually kill the very young or the sick. The strongest isnt killed. No animal would have lived through the centuries if the weak members had lived. It has always been a law of nature.Researchers have found wolves and their prey living in balance. The wolves keep the deer population from becoming too large, and that keeps a balance in the wild plant life.The real problem is that the areas where wolves can live are being used by people. Even if wild land is not used for human needs, the wolves cant always find enough food. So they travel to the nearest place, which is often a farm. Then there is danger. The “big bad wolf” has arrived! And everyone knows what happens next.41 .

What is probably the best title for this passage?AWhy did wolves almost disappear?BShould wolves be killed or protected?CDoes wolves change the cycle of life?DWhy does wolves kill people for food?Car accidents happen everywhere every day and are the main cause of injury in the United States. In order to control the increasing accidents, many states have passed tough laws. Also, car manufacturers(生产商) have been trying to make safer cars to save lives. However, as there are more and more cars and drivers on the road, these safety measures are not enough to stop the increasing car accidents. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(管理部门) reports that a car accident happens every 10 seconds in the United States.Car accidents may be caused by different reasons. Some accidents are caused by the drivers tiredness and illness or drunk driving. Some may be caused by speeding or running a red light. When this happens, by the time the driver realizes what has happened, it is usually too late. As for ages, young drivers usually dont have enough experience while elderly drivers react slowly. Mechanical defects(机械缺陷) such as a broken brake(刹车) are another cause of car accidents. Poor road and weather conditions can also be causes.Talking about different causes of car accidents can help us know what precautions(预防措施) to take beforehand. We should tell our friends or family members not to drive in poor health or after drinking wine. We should tell teenage drivers to be careful with road and weather conditions and let elderly friends understand their driving limitation. Besides, we should have our cars checked regularly(规律地). The most important thing for us to remember, however, is that we should always follow the traffic rules.45 .

Its hard to make a living on the Hebrides, but for a visitor, these islands can be very special.Theyre not for everyone. Even summer days are cool and often windy. The water is too cold for swimming. There are only a few trees and green fields. Instead of fields, there are just rocks and small plants. The hills, too, are just piles of rocks. Sometimes the view (风景) looks like pictures of the moon.But there is beauty in this place. From the beach you can often see all the ways to the rocky hills.
