    Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.
    Indian’s snake charmers are to be retrained as wildlife teachers under a plan to prevent their unique skills and knowledge from being lost. The charmers， who make snakes dance to the sound of flutes， used to be a traditional feature of Indian life， performing in towns and villages， until they were banned in 1972 to control the trade in snake skins.
    The government is now considering a plan to train the saperas， as they are known， to visit schools and zoos to tell children about forests and wildlife. There is also a proposal to set up a “dial a snake charmer” service to help householders to deal with unwelcome intruders.
    “For generations they have been a feature of Indian life but now they can’t earn a living for fear of arrest，” said Behar Dutt， a conservationist behind the plans， “if a policeman doesn’t catch them， animal rights activists report them.”
    Many snake charmers have continued to work clandestinely(暗中地) since the ban， despite the threat of up to three years in jail. But their trademark cloth-covered baskets， hung from a bamboo pole carried across their shoulders， make them an easy target for police.
    The fate of Shisha Nath， 56， from Badarpur， a village just outside of New Delhi， is typical of practitioners(从业者) of the dying art. “I used to earn enough to support my family and send my children to school，” he said. “Now it’s hard to earn even $1 a day. My children want to be snake charmers. It’s our identity. We love the work. But it’s become impossible.”
    Next month Dutt’s project to train 30 snake charmers will begin at a snake park in Pune， western India， where experts will enrich their home-grown skills with some formal knowledge.
    More than the law， though， it is the dishonest attitude of their fellow countrymen that anger many snake charmers.
    “We’re disturbed all the time but when people want a snake removed from the house， they rush to us，” said Prakash Nath， who was ordered recently to the home of Sonia Gandhi， the Congress party leader.
    【小题1】 What do snake charmers usually do in India？ (no more than 8 words) (2 marks)
    【小题2】 How long will a saperas be in prison if he is caught during the ban？ (no more than 3 words) (2 marks)
    　
    【小题3】For what purpose will snake charmers in India be retrained as wildlife teachers？(no more than 10 words) (3 marks)
    　
    【小题4】According to the passage， what will make snake charmers angry？ (no more than 11 words) (3 marks)

    Many people say pennies are not worth saving. After all, a penny is only worth a cent. But one unusual penny turned out to be worth a lot more when a coin collector paid $1.7 million for it earlier this month.

    The coin is one of a kind. It is the only penny that the Denver mint(铸币厂) made out of copper, instead of steel, in 1943. Because it is unique, it is also very valuable. No penny has ever sold for so much money.

    The Changing Penny

    The Lincoln penny first appeared in 1909. For 34 years, the one-cent coin was made out of copper. Then, in 1943, the penny changed. World War II was going on, and copper was needed for equipment. So for one year, pennies were made out of steel instead. At least most of them were.

    Only a few coins were made out of unused copper. There are three main mints, or places where coins are made, in the United States. Of the known copper pennies from 1943, twelve were made in the Philadephia mint, and five were made in the San Francisco mint. Only one was made in the Denver mint.

    Nobody knows for sure why a copper penny was made at the Denver mint in 1943, coin dealers Andy Skrabalak told Time for Kids. “There is a rumor that a mint employee made the coin in the middle of the night.”

    A Special Set

    The coin collector who bought the $1.7 million penny wants to remain unknown. But the reason for the trade is known. He already had two copper pennies from 1943 – one from the San Francisco mint and one from the Philadephia mint. To complete the set, he needed the Denver penny. The three coins will go on display at a coin exhibition in Tampa, Florida.

    The collector who sold the penny is also keeping his name a secret. It took four years to convince him to give up the rare coin. Now that he has finally donating all of the money to charity.

    1.Why is the Lincoln penny worth over one million dollars?

    A．Because it has a history of thirty-four years.

    B．Because it was made out of a rare material.

    C．Because it was made on one night of 1943 by the Denver mint.

    D．Because it was the only coin Denver mint made out of copper in 1943.

    2.Before the Lincoln penny was sold, people thought one-cent coins __________.

    A．were worth collecting for selling later

    B．were surely valuable if not made out of steel

    C．wouldn’t be sold for large amounts of money

    D．were only useful for some coin museums

    3.At least how many copper coins were made in 1943?

    A．Five              B．Twelve            C．Seventeen         D．Eighteen

    4.What can we learn about the collector who sold the penny?

    A．He already had two copper pennies from 1943.

    B．He wanted to complete the set of copper pennies.

    C．He didn’t want to sell his penny in the beginning.

    D．He was a well-known coin dealer in Tampa, Horida.
