The days of the hunter are almost over in India. This is partly because there is practically nothing left to kill, and partly because some steps have been taken mainly by banning tiger-shooting to protect those animals which still survive.

Some people say that Man is naturally a hunter. I disagree with this view. Surely our earliest forefathers, who at first possessed no weapons, spent their time digging for roots, and were no doubt themselves often hunted by meat-eating animals.

I believe the main reason why the modern hunter kills is that he thinks people will admire his courage in overpowering dangerous animals. Of course, there are some who truly believe that the killing is not really the important thing, and that the chief pleasure lies in the joy of the hunt and the beauty of the wild countryside. There are also those for whom hunting in fact offers a chance to prove themselves and risk death by design; these men go out after dangerous animals like tigers, even if they say they only do it to rid the countryside of a threat. I can respect reasons like these, but they are clearly different from the need to strengthen your high opinion of yourself.

The greatest big-game hunters expressed in their writings something of these finer motives. One of them wrote:

“You must properly respect what you are after and shoot it clearly and on the animal’s own territory. You must fix forever in your mind all the wonders of that particular day. This is better than letting him grow a few years older to be attacked and wounded by his own son and eventually eaten, half alive, by other animals. Hunting is not a cruel and senseless killing—not if you respect the thing you kill, not if you kill to enrich your memories, not if you kill to feed your people.”

I can understand such beliefs, and can compare these hunters with those who hunted lions with spears and bravely caught them by the tail. But this is very different from many tiger-shoots I have seen, in which modern weapons were used. The so-called hunters fired from tall trees or from the backs of trained elephants. Such methods made tigers seem no more dangerous than rabbits.

1. There is no more hunting in India now partly because ______.

A. it is dangerous to hunt there                         B. hunting is already out of date

C. hunters want to protect animals                 D. there are few animals left to hunt

2. The author thinks modern hunters kill mainly ______.

A. to make the countryside safe                    B. to earn people’ s admiration

C. to gain power and influence                  D. to improve their health

3. What do we learn about the big-game hunters?

A. They hunt old animals.                  B. They mistreat animals.

C. They hunt for food.                       D. They hunt for money.

4. What is the author’s view on the tiger-shoots he has seen?

A. Modern hunters lack the courage to hunt face-to-face.

B. Modern hunters should use more advanced weapons.

C. Modern hunters like to hunt rabbits instead of tigers.

D. Modern hunters should put their safety first.

Dear Michelle:

      My Dad hates my Mom. He tells me that she is a liar and that I should not trust her. Of course, they are divorced but they have “joint custody(共同监护)”. What a joke! I am 15, my brother is nine, and we have a life of hell, frankly.

   We live one week on and one week off. This was the brilliant idea of both of my parents, which was fair to them but ruining my life. I can’t get away from his voice and his putting my mom down. Sometimes I think about running away.

                                                                     A Hopeless Ant

Dear Hopeless Ant:

   First, thank you for trusting me with your problem. If all you said is correct, then there are several

things that you can and should do to help yourself, your brother, and your parents.

   ● You need a family counselor(顾问). Such a person could listen to each family member alone and

then meet together to talk about the situation.

   If refused, you need to talk to a counselor in your school. You need to be heard, and you need an

adult who will listen. A school counselor can organize a meeting with your parents.

   ● Perhaps you need to write to her. Writing things down allows people to go over it more than one

time.

   I cannot imagine that she will stand passively by and do nothing at all to help once she reads how

you feel. Your father needs a letter as well. He may not realize the destructive effect that it has on his

children.

● Lastly, have a plan in mind when all else fails that is not self-destructive. Life passes very quickly, and you will grow up and have your own life.

   Above all, you need to keep yourself safe. Never doubt that it will get better. Write back and let me know how everything is going.

1..

   A. his father always told a lie

 According to the text, which of the following advice is in greatest need for the Hopeless Ant?

   A. Keep himself safe.                  B. Have a talk with his parents.

Volunteering can help you deal with stress and problems, have more confidence, and introduce you to exciting new ideas and people. But what kind of volunteering should you do?

Firstly, think about what you enjoy. What are you interested in? What do you want to be when you grow up? For example, if you love animals, you can volunteer to care for abandoned(被遗弃的) pets or injured wildlife. If you want to grow up to be a doctor or a nurse, you can look for a youth volunteer program at a local hospital.

Secondly, think about what you’re good at. What skills do you have? What kinds of jobs do you do best? Try to find a volunteer position that will let you make the most of your strengths and talents. For example, if you’re a great speaker, then you could try educating others about a problem you care about. If you’re a cook, you might find a way to help feed hungry people in your area.

Thirdly, look for what your own community needs. What should be improved in your town, city, or school? What types of volunteer projects would do the most good? For example, if there are a lot of homeless people in your area, you could raise money to help them. If your town has empty areas filled with dirt or rubbish, you could organize or join a group to plant trees and flowers to make these areas more attractive.

The problems of the world, or even just of your community, might seem gigantic. Some people might even feel like there’s no point trying to do anything, since what they can contribute seems so small. But every person is important, and can do some good and make a difference. Like you!

1.What is the text mainly about?

A.How to be a good volunteer.
