    　　MONTREAL (Reuters)-Crossing the US-Canada border (边界) to go to church on a Sunday cost a US citizen $ 10 000 for breaking Washington's strict new security(安全) rules.

    　　The expensive trip to church was a sur-prise for Richard Albert, who lives right on the Canadian border. Like the other half-doz-en people of Township 15, crossing the bor-der is a daily occurrence for Albert. The nearby Quebec village of St. Pamphile is where they shop, eat and go to church.

    　　There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5 530-mile border between Canada and the US-which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings.

    　　As a result, Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the US after attending church in Cana-da, as usual. The US customs (海关) station in this area is closed on Sundays, so he just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared last May, fol-lowing a tightening of border security. Two days later, Albert was told to go to the customs office, where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally(非法).

    　　Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 US citizens in that area so they can enter the country when Canadian customs stations are closed, but the US stopped a similar program last May. That forces the people to a 200-mile detour along hilly roads to get home through another border check-point.

    　　Albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine, but he has not attended a Sunday church since. “I feel like I'm living in a prison, ”he said.

    　　MANILA, Philippines(AP)－Villagers and veteran hunters have captured a one-ton saltwater crocodile which they plan to make the star of a planned ecotourism park in a southern Philippine town, an official said Monday．

    　　Mayor Edwin Cox Elorde said dozens of villagers and experts captured the 21-foot(6.4-meter)male crocodile along a creek in Bunawan township in Agusan del Sur province after a three-week hunt．It could be one of the largest crocodiles to be captured alive in recent years, he said, quoting local crocodile experts．

    　　Elorde said the crocodile killed a water buffalo in an attack witnessed by villagers last month and was also suspected of having attacked a fisherman who went missing in July．

    　　He said he sought the help of experts at a crocodile farm in western Palawan province．

    　　"We were nervous but it's our duty to deal with a threat to the villagers," Elorde told The Associated Press by telephone．"When I finally stood before it, I couldn't believe my eyes．"

    　　After initial sightings at a creek, the hunters set four traps, which the crocodile destroyed．They then used sturdier traps using steel cables, one of which finally caught the enormous reptile late Saturday, he said．

    　　About 100 people had to pull the crocodile, which weighs about 2,370 pounds(1,075 kilograms), from the creek to a clearing where a crane lifted it into a truck, he said．

    　　The crocodile was placed in a fenced cage in an area where the town plans to build an ecotourism park for species found in a vast marshland(沼泽地)in Agusan, an impoverished region about 515 miles(830 kilometers)southeast of Manila, Elorde said．

    　　"It will be the biggest star of the park," Elorde said, adding that villagers were happy that they would be able to turn the dangerous crocodile "from a threat into an asset．"

    　　Despite the catch, villagers remain cautious because several crocodiles still roam the outskirts of the farming town of about 37,000 people．

    　　They have been told to avoid venturing into marshy areas alone at night, Elorde said．

           A New Store With Greens Like Emeralds (祖母绿)At his new Paradise Market, Jason Lowe displays fruit, bunches of herbs and frilly greens as a jeweler would decorates.

    Her name may be 501, but she’s more than just a number. The lovely sea otter(水獭) is the star of Otter 501, a new film from Sea Studios Foundation.

    Otter 501 was just a few days old when she lost her parents in June 2010. Washed onto a beach along California’s Big Sur coast, the pup(幼崽) could have died. Instead, she got a second chance at life after being taken to an aquarium(水族馆). There she learned from an adoptive otter mom how to be an otter. In the film, it’s Katie Pofahl who finds the troubled pup on the shore. Through the young volunteer’s eyes, we follow 501’s journey from the day of her rescue to her release into the wild in Elkhorn Slough. But while the fluffy star’s story has a happy ending, the film reminds us of the threats that remain against California’s sea otters.

    Mark Shelley is the executive director of Sea Studios and producer of Otter 501. He hopes the movie will encourage more young people to get involved in protecting the otter’s ocean habitat. Time For Kids (TFK) spoke with Shelley and Pofahl about sharing the otter’s tale.

    TFK:      How much of the film is fact, and how much is fiction?

    Shelley:   The story of 501 and the explanation of the natural history of the sea otter are fact. But we needed a good storyteller to tell the story. That’s where Katie Pofahl’s character came in. Katie’s story in the film is partly fictionalized. She is a trained biologist from the Midwest who moved out here, like her character, so all that is true. She wasn’t really a volunteer at the aquarium, but she did go through the training for the film.

    Pofahl:    I was one of the last people to get involved in the project. Mark and Sea Studios put out a casting call for a marine biologist. I responded with a little video, and the team liked it. So, I was brought on to help tell 501’s story.

    TFK:       What did you learn about otters during filming that you didn’t know before?

    Pofahl:    I’m a zoologist, and I love studying animals. I came onto this project thinking that I knew almost everything there was to know about otters. But I learned some things. Otters keep busy because they live in such cold waters. Unlike other marine mammals, they do not have blubber(鲸油，鲸脂) to keep warm. So, they are constantly moving and eating. And they are a keystone(基本的) species, which means they help to structure the environment they live in. There are endless things to learn. That’s what I love about this job.

    TFK:       What do you hope people will take away from the film?

    Pofahl:    We have an amazing opportunity to help people become aware of how they impact the world. People will watch the movie to see this lovely otter, but it can also be an entry point into conservation. We want to show people that these animals are amazing and that they are at risk and that they are worth protecting. We also want to show people, especially young women, anyone can get involved in science. It’s been an amazing experience for me.

    59. We can conclude from the text that sea otters ________.

    A. prefer to live in warm ocean waters

    B. stay quiet most of the time and don’t eat much

    C. are a dangerous species faced with extinction（灭绝）

    D. are a key element in the marine life environment

    60. Which of the following statements about the film Otter 501 is TRUE according to the text?

    A. The film is about the tragic story of an otter that lost its parents.

    B. The character of Katie Pofahl is based completely on a real life person.

    C. The director of the film is worried about the trouble faced by California’s sea otters.

    D. The movie was shot to raise awareness about the natural history of otters.

    61. Which of the following is the right order of events?

    a. Otter 501 got an adoptive otter mom at the aquarium.

    b. Otter 501 was rescued at the Big Sur coast.

    c. Otter 501 lost its parents.

    d. Katie Pofahl got involved in the project of Otter 501.

    e. Otter 501 was released into the wild in Elkhorn Slough.

    A. c-d-b-a-e                 B. b-c-a-e-d                  C. c-b-a-d-e                D. b-a-c-e-d
