    The fiddler crab (蟹) is a living clock. It indicates(=shows) the time of day by the color of its skin, which is dark by day and pale by night. The crab’s changing color follows a regular twenty—four hour plan that exactly matches the daily rhythm (节奏) of the sun.

    Does the crab actually keep time, or does its skin simply answer to the sun’s rays, changing color according to the amount of light strikes it? To find out, biologists kept crabs in a dark room for two months. Even without daylight, the crab’s skin color continued to change exactly on time.

    This characteristic (特性) probably developed gradually in answer to the daily rising and setting of the sun, to help protect the crab from sunlight and enemies. After millions of years it has become completely regulated (受控制) inside the living body of the crab.

    The biologists noticed that once each day the color of the fiddler crab is especially dark, and that each day this happens fifty minutes later than on the day before. From this they discovered that each crab follows not only the rhythm of the sun but also that of the tides (潮水). The crab’s period of greatest darkening is exactly the time of low tide on the beach where it was caught!

    1.The fiddler crab is like a clock because it changes color ______.

    A. in a regular 24—hour rhythm B. in answer to the sun’s rays

    C. at low tide D. every fifty minutes

    2.The crab’s changing color ______.

    A. tells the crab what time it is B. protects the crab from the sunlight and enemies

    C. keeps the crab warm D. is of no real use

    3.When the fiddler crabs were kept in the dark , they ______.

    A. did not change color B. changed color more quickly

    C. changed color more slowly D. changed color on the same timetable

    4.The crab’s color—changing ability was probably developed ______.

    A. in the process of evolution (进化) B. over millions of years

    C. by the work of biologists D. both A and B

    5.The best title for this selection would be ______.

    A. The Sun and the Tides B. Discoveries in Biology

    C. A Living Clock D. A scientific Study

    When I was young, I wished for a good car and a big house. That was my idea of success. I took all the advanced classes and tried to do well in the exams with my mind set on going to a key school. I just knew that I would somehow become famous and be able to afford the car and the dream house. All the way through junior years, my mind was planning this beautiful future.

    Then in the eleventh grade, many losses changed my mind. First, one of my friends died at 16. Soon after, my great-grandmother passed away, followed by my beloved fourth-grade teacher. These events left me not knowing what to do or where to go . Death had never touched me so closely.

    After a long period of emptiness (空虚), it finally struck me: Life is not promised and neither is future success. Though I was attempting to achieve material success, I was not enjoying my daily life. I realized that finding inner peace, purpose and happiness will stick with me forever and that is real success.

    Enjoying life's precious quirks ( 偶发事件 ) makes an ordinary person more successful than a wealthy person who isn't content and takes everything for granted. The summer before senior years, my attitude changed greatly. Instead of memorizing facts, I began learning skills. Instead of focusing on the future, I focused on today and the many blessings and successes that came with it.

    I still get excellent grades, but now I devote weeks to studying instead of struggling for exams, and I think about the future with a deeper sense of meaning. For me, being successful means truly living life each day.

    1.The reason why the author changed his idea of success is that ________ .

    A. he can't afford his house

    B. his beloved teacher was dead

    C. he didn't know what to do or where to go

    D. he lost a few beloved persons in a short time

    2.According to the author which of the following is the real success for a person?

    A. Being famous. B. Truly living life each day.

    C. Good car and big house. D. Material achievements.

    3.What does the author want to tell the readers?

    A. The true meaning of the life. B. The true meaning of studying.

    C. How to achieve success. D. His opinion about success.

    4.According to the passage, which of the following is true?

    A. The writer thinks that success is not promised.

    B. His teacher died before the death of his grandpa.

    C. The writer didn't do well in all the exams.

    D. He didn't want to take all the exams.
