Waking up in the morning is difficult, and sometimes a ringing alarm clock can't get you out of a sweet dream. Now people in Japan have a better helper.
Fisherman Japan is an organization whose purpose is to make fishing cool again. Recently, it started an interesting wake-up call service to help people who have trouble waking up in the morning. The service is called Fisherman Call. Japanese fishermen will call registered（注册的）users to wake them up and start a short conversation that is sure to get them out of bed.
Fisherman Call is a free service. All you have to do is to register online and give your name, phone number and the time you would like to be called by a fisherman. You can even choose your own fisherman from the list online. You can see a picture of each one of the fishermen, find out their work time and even listen to a recording of their voice to see if it's the first voice you want to hear in the morning. Then, all you have to do is to go to sleep.
Most of the fishermen wake up in the early morning, and finish most of their work by 6 a.m.. So however early you plan on waking up. they'll probably be able to help you do it.
Fisherman Call is a real service, but another purpose of it is to connect Japanese youth with fishing, one of the oldest professions in the country. It is reported that the fishermen won' l try to persuade you to do the job during the morning phone conversation. But the idea is to increase people's interest in the fishing industry. In fact, it's already working.

A feral child is a child who, from a young age, has lived with animals in the wild. What makes wild animals adopt these children and raise them as their own is a mystery. Since feral children have often had no contact with humans for a long time, they may be more like wild animals than people. Their stories, although often upsetting can teach us how people learn and use language — and perhaps even what it means to be human.
In Uganda in 1991, a tribeswoman saw a naked boy living with a troop of wild monkeys in the jungle. The woman was shocked and quickly told the people in her village about the boy. When they tried to take him away from the monkeys, the frightened boy threw sticks at them and climbed up a tree to hide. The monkeys fought fiercely, trying to stop the tribesmen from taking him away, but they did not succeed.
After his "rescue", the boy was taken to Kamuzinda Chritan Orphanage, outside Kampala, the capital city of Uganda. He was identified as John Ssabunnya, a boy who had disappeared three years earlier after his mother was murdered and his father went missing. John was only two years old when he disappeared.
John couldn't speak when he arrived at the orphanage. It was obvious that he did not know how to act in a human way-- he knew only how to behave like a monkey. However, he soon began to talk and was found to have a beautiful singing voice.
John shot to fame at the age of fourteen, when he toured the UK with a children's choir（合唱队）. "His is a remarkable story. One day it could even be made into a film.” said tour organizer Hillary Cook.
1.The underlined word "had no contact with" in paragraph 1 is closest to________.
A.had no patience with B.had no communication with
C.had no quarrel with D.had no choice but stay with
2.What can we learn from Hillary Cook's words in the last paragraph?
A.John could not act like a human. B.John's experience is quite unusual.
C.John is like other boys in the choir. D.People saved John and protected him.
3.It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A.feral children are born with the talent to talk with animals
B.feral children are sure to be back to the human community
C.all feral children can be successful after living with humans
D.the study of feral children may help the research on language
4.The writer organizes the passage by_________.
A.using numbers B.showing opinions C.telling a story D.listing reasons
