    Some fish form huge schools. Could fish set up schools and teach their children how to survive in the ocean? You may ask. No. Here the “schools” are not the places where you study. They are fish shoals (鱼群) that cover tens of kilometers. What causes hundreds of millions of fish to gather and move together is one of biology’s mysteries.
    Darkness appears to be the first step to the creation of shoals, according to a study published in the March 27 journal Science. A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and five other institutions studied Atlantic herring (鲱鱼), which forms shoals on a fishing ground off Massachusetts. They used an underwater imaging technology and fish-finding sonar (声纳) to observe the herring over several days in autumn when they spawn (产卵).
    They found that, as the sun set, fish in scattered (分散的) groups began swimming much closer to one another than they normally do. When the number of fish reached a certain point in an area, this set off a chain reaction of similar behavior that spread like a sound wave through the water.
    The herring’s movement seemed to be started by sunset. The team didn’t record the breakup of these shoals, but a previous study suggested that as the sun rose, the shoals fell apart.
    “When the light fades (逐渐消失), it’s safer for the fish to move away from the seabed,” says Nicholas Makris, a professor at MIT who led the research. “Once they have a certain number of other fish, they suddenly come together - forming a shoal covering tens of kilometers within tens of minutes.”
    Herring form shoals to migrate during the autumn spawning season. Some shoals were 40 km across and 30 m from top to bottom. They formed in deep water and moved into more shallow waters to spawn.
    Forming shoals helps protect them from predators (掠食者) by giving them simple strength in numbers. The ordered movement of the shoal means the fish can reach their spawning ground more quickly and more safely.
    Scientists have never before gathered information on so many animals acting together. Understanding these herring shoals could lead to more ideas about what causes animals to move in schools, says Iain Couzin, a biologist at Princeton University, US.
    1. Which school in the following expressions is used the same way as the underlined one in the first paragraph?
    A. schools of thoughts       B. school a horse   C. a school of whales       D. a medical school
    2. Which of the following statements is true?
    A. There are more large shoals of herring at night than in the daytime.
    B. The research on Atlantic herring was conducted independently by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
    C. The larger the shoal of herring is, the more slowly it moves.
    D. Scientists have found out the reason why fish gather and move together in huge shoals.
    3. According to the research, herring tend to get together except ______.
    A.when there are predators around  B. when they spawn C. when the sun sets  D. when the sun rises
    4. What seems to be the main reason for herring to gather and move together?
    A. To avoid the darkness.
    B. To keep other kinds of fish out of their spawning ground.
    C. To spawn in the shallow waters.
    D. To make themselves feel safe.

    Every culture has a recognized (公认的) point when a child becomes an adult, when rules must be followed and tests passed.
    In China, although teenagers can get their ID cards at 16, many only see themselves as an adult when they are 18. In the US, where everyone drives, the main step to the freedom of adult life is learning to drive. At 16, American teens take their driving test. When they have their license, they drive into the grown-up world.
    “Nobody wants to ride the bus to school,” said Eleanor Fulham, 17. She remembered the pressure, especially from kids from richer families. “It’s like you’re not cool if you don’t have a car,” she said.
    According to recent research, 41% of 16 to 19-year-olds in the US own cars, up from 23% in 1985. Although, most of these cars are bought by parents, some teens get part-time jobs to help pay.
    Not all families will buy cars for their children. In cities with subways (地铁) and limited parking, some teenagers don’t want them. But in rich suburban (郊区的) areas without subways, and where bicycles are more for fun than transportation, it is strange for a teenager not to have a car.
    But police say 16-year-olds have almost three times more accidents than 18 and 19-year-olds. This has made many parents think carefully before letting their kids drive.
    Julie Sussman, of Virginia, decided that her son Chad, 15, will wait until he is 17.
    Chad said he has accepted his parents’ decision, although it has caused some teasing (奚落) from his friends. “They say that I am unlucky,” he said. “But I’d rather be alive than driving, and I don’t really trust my friends on the road either.”
    In China as more families get cars, more 18-year-olds learn to drive. Will this become a big step to becoming an adult?
    【小题1】The story is mainly about _______.

    A．the recognized point between childhood and adulthood
    B．American teens want to drive a car when they turn 16
    C．whether teenagers should have a car
    D．the fact that it’s safer for teens to drive a car at an younger age
    【小题2】 Which of the following is not one of the reasons that kids want to have a car?
    A．With a car, it would be easy to move around.
    B．A great number of teenagers have cars.
    C．Having a car would mean more excitement.
    D．Parents’ support for kids to have a car at an early age.
    【小题3】.Which of the following is not true?
    A．Some of Chad’s friends have cars.
    B．When deciding whether to buy a car for their kids, safety weighs heavily on many parents’ mind.
    C．In the US, 16 is considered the point between childhood and adulthood.
    D．More kids from cities own cars than those from the countryside.
    【小题4】The word “license” in Paragraph 2 means closest to ______.
    A．driving permit B．ID card C．learner’s permit D．test result
