         Sydney-A shark savaged a schoolboy's leg while he was surfing with his father at a beach in Sydney
    on
    February 23.It was the third shark attack along the coast of Australia's largest city in a month.
    The 15-year-old boy and his father were in the water off Avalon. , on Sydney's northern beaches,
    around dawn when he was attacked. The city's beaches are packed with locals and tourists during the
    summer months.
        "The father heard a scream and turned to see his son thrashing(激烈扭动)about in the water. ,
    "police said. "Fortunately. , the shark swam away and the boy was helped to the shore by his father."
    Lifesaving Club spokesman Nick Miller said. , "It got him around the top of his left leg and the father
    came and dragged him out of water." He said the boy was bleeding heavily when he was brought to
    the shore. "There was a lot of pain, as you can imagine. "The teenager was airlifted to hospital for
    treatment for leg injuries.
       Police said the bites "cut through to the bone". , but the boy did not app ear to have sustained any
    fractures (骨折). He was in a stable condition now.
       Several beaches were closed after the attack. Water police and lifeguards were searching for the
    shark. , while police hoped to identify its species by the shape of the bite marks. But they said it was
    too early to say what type of shark attacked the boy. "I don't even know if he saw it. , "Miller said.
        Many shark species live in the waters off Sydney's beaches. , but attacks on humans are still
    relatively rare. However. , there were two attacks on successive days earlier this month. , one on a
    navy diver in Sydney harbor. , not far from the famous Opera House. , and  the other on a surfer at
    the city's world-famous Bondi beach.
        Fishermen say shark numbers are on the rise. There is a ban on commercial fishing in the harbor
    , which has increased fish stocks. Marine experts also claim environmental protection has created a
    cleaner environment, attracting sharks closer to the shore as they chase fish. Many shark species
    , including the Great White-the maneaters made famous in Steven Spielberg's Jaws-are protected in
    Australian waters.
    1. The report mainly tells us ________.
    A. shark attacks on humans are on the rise

    2. The underlined word "savaged" in the first paragraph probably means "________". 
    A. attracted  
    B. dragged      
    C. bit                    
    D. packed
    3. What do we know about the city of Sydney from the passage? 
    A. It is one of the largest cities in Australia.
    B. Sydney harbor is not far from the famous Opera House.
    C. There are many locals and tourists on its coast all the year round.
    D. There are few shark species in the waters off Sydney's beaches.

         Are you unhappy about the shape of your nose? Or do you feel that your ears are too big
    or your eyes too small? Yon don't need to despair (绝望) about any of these things any longer.
    They can all be put right by a surgeon. Surgeons are doctors who make sick people well by
    operating on them. But some surgeons today are really beauty specialists (专家). Their job is
    to make ugly or plain people beautiful. This work is called plastic surgery (整形外科). Plastic
    surgeons are very popular in some countries. They make a lot of money by selling beauty to men
    and women, especially women. Plastic surgery is very expensive. A new nose may cost almost
    as much as a new car. Suppose I can afford to pay so much money and want to change my ugly
    nose for a more handsome one. I first consult (咨询) a plastic surgeon. First of all, he will ask me
    to enter a nursing home. I shall have to spend about three weeks there. The surgeon will give me
    an aesthetic (麻醉剂). Then he will operate on my nose to give it the shape I want. He will put a
    plaster case over it to keep it in its new shape. I shall have to spend the next week or two anxiously
    wondering whether the operation has been successful or not. "Will my nose really look better?" Or
    will I look uglier than before? Won't there be scars (疤痕) after the operation? What shall I do if my
     nose is not the shape I wanted? And then the great day will come. The surgeon will take off the
    bandages and the plaster, and I shall see my expensive new nose! Will it be worth all the trouble
    and expense? Sometimes these operations go wrong, and then the patient comes away looking
    worse than before.

    1. What is a plastic surgery?  
    A. It is not cheap.                    
    B. It is not safe.
    C. It is work which can make ugly and plain people beautiful.
