Animals can be extremely protective of their young. But when hard times call, animal fathers can be really a danger to their own kids.

Daddy Lion

A combination of laziness, pride, cruelty and anger makes the lion one of the most fearsome and worst dads of the animal kingdom. When not walking proudly across the jungle, the father lion just lazes around under the sun, or waits for one of its lioness(母狮子) partners to bring back food. Once the lioness gets home the food, the lion eats up most of it, and leaves little or nothing at all for the kids. The father doesn’t even train the kids for hunting and surviving, it is the lioness who teaches them how to fend for themselves.

The Polar Father

Cute, pure and soft. Protective of young ones and family? Sure. But what makes the polar bears one of the worst dads of the animal kingdom? They don’t take care of the young ones, they won’t take up the responsibility of feeding them, they won’t take care of them like a father should. They just leave that to the mother bear.

The Assassin Bug(猎蝽)

Size matters, you say? This little bug would eat its own eggs to stay strong and fulfill its hunger needs. The male assassin bug is actually responsible for guarding the eggs. The female assassin bug lays eggs in large numbers. The male bug eats the weaker eggs.

Daddy Bass(岩鲈鱼)

Usually, water calms you down. Not so much for this underwater species. The male bass is known to eat up eggs from its own spawn. It guards the spawn(子,卵) laid by its female partner. However, when hungry and unable to hunt for food, the father won’t think twice before eating up the eggs.

And do you think your father was strict and hard? After reading this article, I’m sure you think your dad is the best in the whole wide world for not eating you up!

A. are protective of their young

B. are respected by their young

C. are rather bad to their kids

D. are dangerous to their whole family

2.The underlined phrase “fend for” (Para 2) probably means ________.

A. fight for B. learn from

C. look after D. look for

3.The lion and the polar bears are similar in ________.

A. searching food all by themselves

B. letting the mothers take care of the kids

C. letting the mothers eat up the food

Last August, I traveled with a group of volunteers to Tres de Mayo, a small community near Tela, Honduras to help renovate (整修) a community centre. During my stay there, I learned many things and I also had plenty of opportunity to interact (互动) and work with local children, and I often could not help but think about the hardships they faced day to day, all factors considered to place children at-risk for problems later in life.

One young boy in particular, Javier, 16, stood out for me. Javier’s father had left a year earlier for the U. S., and the family had not heard from him since. This put his mother in a difficult position, stay in Tres de Mayo with no job and no source of income. In the end she decided to move to another province to find work. Javier with his little brother had to stay to live with their grandfather in a small house. Many of the children we met in Tres de Mayo were in similar situations.

As our last day approached, I remember the look in Javier’s eyes, as they welled up(涌出) with tears when we told him we were leaving. One of the volunteers held him close, but it did little to console him. He had already experienced so much loss, his father abandoning him, his mother leaving to find work, and it was hard to realize that our departure(离开) was adding to the list.

As I looked beyond Javier, I could see the many men and women whom Javier looked up to, depended on, and gathered strength from. I did know that without parents to raise him, he was not left alone. Instead, the adults in the community took responsibility for the care of their collective young.

1.Which of the following statement is TRUE?

A. Javier established good relationship with the author and his team.

B. Javier faced a number of challenges that put him at some risks.

C. Javier shared the same sufferings with other kids in Tres de Mayo.

D. Javier had to learn to be independent even since he was a little boy.

2.We can replace the underlined word “console ” in the third paragraph with ________.

A. affect

B. inspire

C. comfort

D. protect

3.According to the author, what plays an important part in the growth of Javier?

A. The united effort from the whole global village.

B. The good quality from the foreign volunteers.

C. The great care from the adults in his community.

D. The positive support from some of his family.

One of the newest taboos (禁忌) in American society is the topic of fat. Unlike many other taboos, fat is a topic that America talk about often. It is not taboo to talk about fat; it’s taboo to be fat.

The “in” look is thin. In the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking, slim executives to sell their image and their products to the public. The thin look is associated with youth, vigor and success. The fat person, on the other hand, is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy, self-discipline and self-respect. After all, people think, how can people who care about themselves, and therefore the way they look, allow themselves to become fat? In an image conscious society like the U.S. , fat is “out”.

It is not surprising, then, that millions of Americans have become obsessed (着迷) with staying slim and “in shape”. The pursuit of youthful physical appearance is not, however, the only reason for America’s obsession with diet and exercise.

Recent research has shown the great importance of diet and exercise for personal health. As in most technologically developed nations, the life-style of North Americans has changed very quickly during the course of last century. Modern machines do all the physical labor that people were once forced to do by hand. Cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point. As the result of inactivity and disuse, people’s bodies can easily become weak and vulnerable to disease. In an effort to avoid such a fate, millions of Americans are spending more of their time exercising.

The effects of this new appreciation of the importance of exercise is clear: parks are filled with joggers and bicyclists, physical education programs are enjoying a newly-founded fame and many companies are providing exercise equipment for their employees to use during the work day.

1.In the United States, fat is something ________.

A. people always talk about

B. not regarded as a taboo topic

C. people usually pay no attention to

D. belonging to the same treatment as other taboos

2.What do Americans think of thin people?

A. Their work helps them to look youthful

B. They are energetic and successful.

C. Their appearances affects their behavior

D. They are lacking in self-discipline.

3.According to Paragraph 4, which of the following is an example of “inactivity?

A. Mary does her housework by hand.

B. Celia takes part in a marathon

C. Cecilia goes to her office by car.

D. Margaret plays badminton every Saturday.

4.Why are parks filled with joggers and bicyclists?

A. Because these parks are fit for sports.

B. Because people are enjoying prestigious status in parks.

C. Because people are taking part in physical education programs.

D. Because people now recognize they should do more exercise.
