           Harald Kaas was sixty. His back became rounded, and he bent a little. His forehead, always of the broadest－no one else’s hat would fit him － was now one of the highest, that is to say, he had lost all his teeth, which were strong though small, and blackened by smoking. Now, instead of “deuce take it” he said “deush take it”. He had always held his hands half closed as though grasping something; now they stiffened so that he could never open them fully. The little finger of his ldft hand had been bitten off. According to Harald’s version of the story, the fellow swallowed the piece on the spot.

           He was fond of showing off the ldft part, and it often served as an introduction to the history of brave adventures, which became greater and greater and greater as he grew older and quieter. His small sharp eyes were deep set and looked at one with great intensity. There wsa power in his individuality. He has no lack of self-respect.

           His house, raised on an old foundation, looked out to the south over many islands; farther out were more islands and the open sea. Its eastern wing was barely half furnished, and the western inhabited by Harald Kaas. These wings were connected by a gallery, behind which were the fields and woods to the north.

    In the gallery itself were heads of bears, wolves, foxes and lynxes and stuffed birds from land and sea. Skins and guns hung on the walls of the front room. The inner rooms were also full of skins and filled with the smell of wild animals and tobacco-smoke. Harald himself called it “man-smell”; no one who had once put his nose inside could ever forget it. Valuable and beautiful skins hung on the walls and sat, and walked on skins, and each one of them was a subject of conversation. Harald Kaas, seated in his log chair by the fireside, his feet on the bearskin, opened his shirt to show the scars on his hairy chest (and what scars they were) which had been made by a bears teeth, when he had driven his knife, right up to the end, into the monster’s heart. All the tables, and cupboards, and carved chairs listened in their silence.

    68．Who or what most probably bit harald Kaass’ little finger off?

           A．On of his fellow hunters

    B．An adversary in a boxing match

    C．A wild animal 

    D．One of his hunting dogs

    Every year in late spring at Wild Friends, the wildlife health center, workers receive baby animals, including songbirds and rabbits. This is the busiest time when workers care for and raise all the little ones before sending them back into the wild.

      There are many reasons for these little animals' coming to the center. First of all, street cats or dogs catch, injure or take away little birds from their nests. Sometimes people catch baby animals and keep them at home, giving them food that they are not used to. It would make them sick. Most people don't realize that it's against law to get live animals out of their nests.

      As for songbirds, people often find them on the ground in their yards, thinking they have no other choice but to leave them on the ground to die. This is because many people wrongly believe that once a bird is touched by a person, its mother will not accept this child bird. But that's not true.

      If a little bird falls out of the nest, you should check whether it is injured. If not, you should put the bird back in the nest. If the bird is injured, call your local wildlife center quickly.

      As for the progress of protecting wild animals, people at Wild Friends devote all their energy to this work. Over the last weeks, they have been able to send many of the birds and rabbits that came here earlier this spring back to nature.

    1.Which is the busiest season for workers at Wild Friends?

    A. Spring    B. Summer.        C. Autumn.       D. Winter.

    2.Which of the following will probably injure young birds?

    A. Giving them food they don't like.      B. Letting them play with children.

    C. Leaving them on the ground.          D. Bringing them to the center.

    3.If a young healthy bird is lying on the ground, you should ________.

    A. wait for its mother                 B. help it go back home

    C. touch it with your hands             D. call workers at Wild Friends

    Have you winterized your horse yet? Even though global warming may have made our climate more mild, many animals are still hibernating(冬眠)．It’s too bad that humans can’t hibernate．In fact, as a species, we almost did．

    Apparently, at times in the past, peasants in France liked a semi-state of human hibernation．So writes Graham Robb, a British scholar who has studied the sleeping habits of the French peasants．As soon as the weather turned cold people all over France shut themselves away and practiced the forgotten art of doing nothing at all for months on end．

    In line with this, Jeff Warren, a producer at CBC Radio’s The Current, tells us that the way we sleep has changed fundamentally since the invention of artificial(人造的) lighting and the electric bulb．

    When historians began studying texts of the Middle Ages, they noticed something referred to as “first sleep”, which was not clarified, though．Now scientists are telling us our ancestors most likely slept in separate periods．The business of eight hours’ uninterrupted sleep is a modern invention．

    In the past, without the artificial light of the city to bathe in, humans went to sleep when it became dark and then woke themselves around midnight．The late night period was known as ”The Watch” It was when people actually kept watch against wild animals, although many of them simply moved around or visited family and neighbours ．

    According to some sleep researchers, a short period of insomnia(失眠) at midnight is not a disorder ．It is normal．Humans can experience another state of consciousness around their sleeping, which occurs in the brief period before we fall asleep or wake ourselves in the morning．This period can be an extraordinarily creative time for some people．The impressive inventor, Thomas Edison, used this state to hit upon many of his new ideas．

    Playing with your sleep rhythms can be adventurous, as anxiety may set in．Medical science doesn’t help much in this case．It offers us medicines for a full night’s continuous sleep, which sounds natural; however, according to Warren’s theory, it is really the opposite of what we need．

    1.The example of the French peasants shows the fact that________．

     A．people might become lazy as a result of too much sleep

     B．there were signs of hibernation in human sleeping habits

    C．people tended to sleep more peacefully in cold weather

    D．winter was a season for people to sleep for months on end

    2.The late night was called “The Watch” because it was a time for people_______．

     A．to set traps to catch animals        B．to wake up their family and neighbours

     C．to remind others of the time       D．to guard against possible dangers

    3.What does the author advise people to do?

     A．Sleep in the way animals do．    B．Consult a doctor if they can’t sleep．

     C．Follow their natural sleep rhythm．D．Keep to the eight-hour sleep pattern．

    4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

    A．To give a prescription for insomnia．   

    B．To urge people to sleep less．

    C．To analyze the sleep pattern of modern people．  

    D．To throw new light on human sleep．

    The word “sport” first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds. About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today. People spend a lot of their time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they want to. A few people are paid for the sport they play. These people are called professional sportsmen. They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best ones can earn a lot of money. For example, a professional footballer in England earns more than 30,000 dollars a year. The stars earn a lot more. International golf and tennis champions can make more than 500,000 dollars a year. Of course, only a few sportsmen can earn as much money as that.

    Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is that the stars can earn more money from advertising than from sports. An advertisement for sports equipment does not simply say “Buy our things”. It says “Buy the same shirt and shoes as …”. Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their names or a photograph of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people’s spare time.

    1.From the passage we can learnt that_______.

    A． people spend too much money on sports

    B．the development of sport is slower than any other activity

    C．most people enjoy sport because they can earn money

    D．nowadays sport is not merely a pastime for people

    2.Nowadays, the word “sport” means “________” .

    A．what people do in their spare time

    B．hunting wild animals and birds

    C．organized games

    D．something people are paid to do

    3.People play sports for ________.

    A．fun

    B．different

    C．money

    D．keeping fit

    4.What surprises people most is that ________.

    A．the stars get more money from advertising

    B．the word “sport” meant hunting animals

    C．professional sportsmen are paid for what they do

    D．only a few sportsmen can earn ＄500,000 a year

    Here in the hills were buffaloes (野牛). I had even, in my very young days — when I could not live till I had killed one of each kind of African animal — shot a bull out there. Later on, when I was not so interested to shoot as to watch the wild animals, I had been out to see them again. But twice I had to go back without success.

    But one afternoon as I was having tea with some friends outside the house, Denys came flying from Nairobi and went over our heads westwards; a little while after he turned and came back and landed on the farm. I drove down to the plane to bring him back, but he would not get out of his plane.

    “The buffaloes are out feeding in the hills,” he said, “come out and have a look at them.”

    “I cannot come,” I said. “I have got a tea-party up at the house.”

    “But we will go and see them and be back in a quarter of an hour,” he said.

    This sounded to me like the suggestions which people make to you in a dream. So I went up with him. It did not take us long to see the buffaloes from the air; we counted them as they peacefully mixed and separated on the open ground closed in by bushes. There was one very old big black bull, and a number of young ones; if a stranger had come near to them they would have heard or smelt him at once, but they were not prepared for something from the air. They heard the noise of our machine and stopped feeding, but they did not seem to be able to look up. In the end they realized that something very strange was about; the old bull first walked out in front of the others. Suddenly he began to go down the valley side and after a moment he broke into a run. The whole group now followed him, rushing hurriedly down into the buses. In a small wood of low trees they stopped and kept close together. Here they believed themselves to be out of sight. We flew up and away. It was like having been taken there by a secret unknown route.

    When I came back to my tea-party the teapot on the stone was still so hot that I burned my fingers on it.

    1.The writer drove to the plane ________.

    A．to pick Denys up and take him back to the tea-party

    B．to have a talk with Denys

    C．to do some repairs for Denys

    D．because they wanted to go up in the plane

    2. Denys said it would only take a quarter of an hour to go and see the buffaloes ________.

    A．but it took much longer than that

    B．and he was right

    C．if they went by a secret route

    D．but it wasn’t a serious suggestion

    3.When the buffaloes heard the noise of the plane, they ________.

    A．looked up at it

    B．ran away immediately

    C．continued feeding

    D．were uncertain what to do
