  One night in March 1999, a man was driving from California to Oregon, US, to visit some friends.He had stopped his car to have some food when he started to hear strange noises.Turning on the headlights, he saw an 8-foot-tall creature covered in thick, dark hair.The creature stared at him for a minute, turned in the road and walked off slowly into the woods.

  In the past 50 years alone, there have been thousands of reported sightings of similar creatures in the US, Canada, the Himalayas(喜马拉雅山地区)and even Hubei Province in China.The creature is known as bigfoot.

  Bigfoot is said to be a very tall(between 2 and 4.5 metres), ape-like(类人猿似的)creature that is covered in hair and walks upright on two legs.It is very wary(警惕的)of human beings.

  Believers think bigfoot is a direct descendent(后代)of ancient gigantopithecus(巨猿).But it remains one of the planet’s undiscovered secrets.There is a little evidence(证据)to support the believers’ theory:traces of hair, footprints and body prints as well as the reported sightings.Some people have even showed what they say with photos or films of bigfoot.

  But so far, no one has found bones or any other definite proof that the giant creature exists.

  As a result many people believe the evidence is just part of a big trick.

  The footprints are easy to make, they say:all you need do is to make two large feet out of plaster(石膏), attach them to the bottom of your shoes and walk with big steps.As for the photos and films, they are just people dressed in ape suits.

  They also say the sightings are not real, just people making mistakes.For example, bigfoot could be a bear living in the wild that sometimes stands up on its back legs.

(1)

So far what we can be sure about is that ________.

[  ]

A.

there exist savages(野人)in several places in the world

B.

there are some traces of hair, footprints and body prints of the “bigfoot”

C.

bigfoot is a direct descendent of ancient gigantopithecus

D.

all the bigfoots discovered have the same look

(2)

It was in ________ that man first found the ape-like creature.

[  ]

A.

1999

B.

the 1960’s

C.

the 1950’s

D.

the 1940’s

(3)

The article infers but doesn’t say so that some people ________ bigfoot’s existence.

[  ]

A.

may fool the world into believing

B.

have definite evidence to prove

C.

refuse to believe

D.

will soon offer proofs of

(4)

If bigfoot is just a misunderstanding, what they saw might NOT be ________.

[  ]

A.

apes

B.

bears

C.

gigantopithecus

D.

people dressed in animal skins

Bobby was sitting out in his back yard in the snow. The thin sneakers he wore had a few holes in them. Try as he might, he could not come up with an idea for his mother’s Christmas gift.
Ever since his father had passed away three years ago, his mother worked nights at the hospital, but the small wage could only be stretched so far.
What the family lacked in money and material things, they more than made up for in love and family unity. They ran the household in their mother’s absence. All three of his sisters had already made beautiful gifts for their mother.
It was Christmas Eve already, and he had nothing. Bobby started to walk down to the street. He walked from shop to shop. Everything seemed so beautiful and so out of reach. It was starting to get dark, then suddenly his eyes caught a shiny dime. Never has anyone felt so wealthy as Bobby did at that moment.
He went inside a flower shop. When the owner asked if he could help him, Bobby presented the dime and asked if he could buy one flower. The shop owner looked at Bobby, then said, “You just wait here and I’ll see what I can do for you.”
The shop owner returned holding red roses all tied together with a big silver bow. Bobby’s heart sank as the owner placed them gently into a long white box. “That will be ten cents, young man,” said the shop owner, reaching out his hand for the dime. Slowly, Bobby moved his hand to give the man his dime.
Then the shopkeeper’s wife appeared. “Where are the roses you were fixing?”
The shop owner replied, “A strange thing happened to me this morning. I thought I heard a voice telling me to set aside a dozen of my best roses for a special gift. I wasn’t sure at the time whether I had lost my mind or what, but I set them aside anyway. When I saw that little boy tonight, I knew who that voice was.”
