I am afraid of him.” “What?” cries the old tiger. “Take me to that tiger. I will talk to him.” The monkey and the tiger get to the bridge over the river. “Now look down at the water.” Says the monkey. “Do you see the tiger?” “Yes, I do,” cries the old tiger. “I will eat him.” With these words, the tiger jumps into the river.( )1 An old tiger lives _.

Then dinosaurs could not find enough to eat. This must be one reason why dinosaurs died out (灭绝). There may be other reasons that we do not yet know about. Scientists are trying to make more discoveries（发现）about dinosaurs. We now know that dinosaurs were of many sizes and shapes. Some were as small as chickens, while some were about 90 feet long.

They say they can afford（承担得起） these things. But I dont agree with（同意） them. Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources(资源), we are short of(缺乏) others, for example, fresh water(淡水). It is reported that (据报道）we will have no coal(煤) or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible. In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent（阻止） waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps(水龙头) when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best. ( )1. From the passage we know that some students often _ in the school.
