WellingtonAs the capital city and geographical centre of New Zealand, Wellington is the focus of the country's financial and political power.
Wellington became the capital in 1865 and by 1870, the population was growing at a brisk rate and it began to assume that cosmopolitan air that has characterised it ever since. While construction has changed the skyline with modern skyscrapers, Wellington has also retained many of its historic sites and buildings. Among these are Antrim House, the Colonial Cottage Museum, Old St Paul's Cathedral, Katherine Mansfield's Birthplace, the Parliament Buildings, including the 'Beehive' and the many city villas which cling precariously to the steep hillsides. Downtown Wellington on Lambton Quay is popular with shoppers. Don't miss a trip on the Cable Car which takes you from Lambton Quay to Kelburn, the Botanic Gardens and superb harbour views. For a different perspective of the city, take a harbour cruise or a ferry trip to Eastbourne, where there are craft shops, galleries and cafes. Wellington also has a strong yachting fraternity. The city has long been recognised as the cultural and arts capital of New Zealand. It is home to the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, the Royal New Zealand Ballet, opera companies, theatre and a large number of art galleries, including the National Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. The cosmopolitan nature of Wellington is reflected in the 350 restaurants and cafes serving innovative New Zealand and ethnic cuisine. North of Wellington is the Kapiti Coast whose main attractions are the world-class Southward Car Museum, the Lindale Agricultural Centre and the superb Maori craftsmanship of the Rangiatea Church at Otaki. Further inland is the lively university and agricultural city of Palmerston North situated in the Manawatu region.

About friendship
Section B
We often say, “A friend in need is a friend indeed．” But what is the exact meaning of friendship? No one can really offer a definite concept, because different people hold various views on friendship．
Everyone has his own friendship and some have a lot of friends．But in fact, quantity is not so important as quality．Loyalty is the most important for friendship．No one wants to make friends with those who will betray them．
No matter whether you are married or not, no matter where you live and work, your friends are your friends．It is not based on bloodline．It relies on your intention．To you, some friends are fun－loving, some give encouragement, some offer knowledge, and others help you to find your own identity．Before your friends, you may act as a supervisor, a learned brother, a lovely child, a gentleman or a playmate．In a word, friendship helps you to be a full person．So friendship can benefit．

New Zealand fishermen caught what may prove to be a world-record-breaking colossal squid (巨大的鱿鱼).
In the cold, dark waters of the Antarctic hides a creature with eight arms, two super long tentacles (触须) and eyes as big as dinner plates. Sound like something out of a science fiction movie? Think again.
On February 21, New Zealand fishermen landed a colossal squid the length of a school bus. They had been fishing with long lines for Chilean sea bass (黑鲈) in the waters off the coast of New Zealand when they caught the rare squid. With two hours of hard work, the crew skillfully pulled the creature into a net and dragged it aboard their ship.
Scientists estimate (估计) that the animal weighs about a half ton and is about 40 feet long. That would make this colossal squid the biggest on record.
First identified in 1925 after two tentacles were found in a whale’s stomach, the colossal squid has long been a mystery. The animals are not easy to observe because they can go down to ocean depths of 6,500 feet. What scientists do know from studying the bodies of a half dozen colossal squids is that they are fierce hunters.
The recently captured colossal squid has been frozen to keep it for scientific study. It will be transported to New Zealand’s national museum, Te Papa, in the capital city of Wellington. Experts believe it to be the first adult male ever caught undamaged. Scientists hope to learn more about the colossal squid’s diet, behavior and reproductive (繁殖) patterns.
“Scientists will be very interested in this amazing creature,” said New Zealand Fisheries Minister Jim Anderton. “It adds immeasurably to our understanding of the marine environment.”
38. Why is it usually difficult for experts to observe the squid?
A. Because it moves too fast. B. Because it is too large.
C. Because it is very dangerous. D. Because it can go down to deep ocean.
39. What’s the purpose of catching such a huge squid?
A. To make it into food. B. To set a world record.
C. To do research on it. D. To display it for visitors.
40. Which of the following is TRUE about the possible record-breaking colossal squid?
A. It lives in the cold, dark waters of the Arctic.
B. Its tentacles were found in a whale’s stomach.
C. It is a fierce hunter according to the scientific study.
D. It is believed to be the first adult male ever caught.
41. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. the biggest squid ever found B. scientific research on squid
C. the lifestyle of the colossal squid D. how the fishermen caught the squid
