FIRE AT SEABREEZE

   Late last night firemen hurried to the Seabreeze Hotel and quickly put out a small fire in a bedroom.The hotel manager said that a cigarette started the fire.We say again to all our visitors: “Please don’t smoke cigarettes in bed.” This was Beldon’s first hotel fire for five years.

Today, when a man steps on to the moon, or something new and important happens, the world learns about it immediately. What did the newspapers say about that first flight in 1903? Strangely enough, they said hardly anything about it at all. There are only a few reports about it in the papers. These reports said very little. Some of the things they said were not even correct.

In 1904 the Wrights built a second machine. They called it “Flyer No. Two”. They invited some reporters to a field near Dayton to watch them fly. Unfortunately, there was some mechanical(机械的) trouble with the plane and it did not fly at all that day. The newspapermen went away. They were disappointed and did not come back. The Wrights went on with their work. In 1905, they built an even better machine, “Flyer No Three”. They were able to stay upon the air for half an hour and more in the machine. Farmers and travelers on the road around the Dayton often saw them flying, but when three people told newspapermen about it, they refused to believe them.

The Wrights offered “Flyer No. Three” to the United States government. The government was not interested. They seemed to think the Wrights wanted money in order to build a plane. They did not understand the Wrights had already done this, and flown it as well. Experts were still saying that mechanical flight was impossible. At the end of 1905, the two brothers took their planes to pieces. The parts were put into a huge wooden box. It seemed nobody was interested.

A.the Wrights did not invite them

B.the plane could not stay long in the air

C.the plane did not fly at all that day

2.The U.S. government could not understand that________.

A.the Wrights had already built a machine that could fly

B.experts still thought flight was impossible

C.the Wrights wanted more money to build an airplane

D.“Flyer No. Three” was now in a wooden case

3.The Wrights took their plane to pieces because________.

A.they planned to go to Europe

B.nobody was interested

C.the government didn't give them any money

D.the newspapermen didn't report their flights

4.What does the underlined word “Flyer” mean?

A.Pilot.             B.Drive.            C.Plane.            D.Kite.

A.Today, people are very interested in new things.

   A pair of twin-brother ligers, a rare lion-tiger hybrid(杂种), have become superstars in China's southernmost island province of Hainan after becoming the first ligers in the country to reach their first birthday.

     Tens of thousands of tourists visited the liger brothers at Hainan Tropical Wildlife Park during the week-long May Day holiday that ended on Sunday, hoping to catch a glimpse of the rare animals. At least 10,000 people signed a red banner when the park celebrated the liger's birthday on May 2. People expressed the hope that the twins would be strong and healthy, the Hainan Daily reports. Zookeepers even made the twins a special birthday cake out of beef and eggs.

    The ligers, born on May 2, 2005 , are named 'Ping Ping' and 'An An', which together translate as 'safe and sound'. Their mother Huan Huan is a six-year-old tigress and their father is a four-year – old lion named Xiao Erhei.  The couple first gave birth to a liger in June 2004 but the cub (幼兽)  died of respiratory(呼吸的)failure 72 hours later.

    The pregnancy (怀孕) rate for lion-tiger couples is only between one and two percent and the cubs normally have a short life expectancy due to the differences in their chromosomes(染色体). Zoologists say only six to eight ligers are living in the world. China's first tiger-lion hybrid cub was born at Hongshan Zoo in Nanjing, capital of east China's Jiangsu Province, in 2002. But it died a week later.

    Ping Ping and An An have broken the survival record set by a liger who lived for 113 days at Hongshan Zoo.

1. Why can Ping Ping and An An become superstars?

       A. Because they are the most beautiful ligers.

    B. Because they are the cleverest ligers.

    C. Because they are the most attractive ligers.

    D. Because they are the first ligers to live for a year.

2. Why can't ligers live long ?

    A. Because their chromosomes are different.

    B. Because they are too small when they are born.

    C. Because their parents don't live long.

    D. Because they are short of food.

3. How many ligers did the passage mention?

    A. Three.         B. Four.          C. Five.         D. Six.

4. What is the best title of this passage?

    A. China's longest living twin ligers celebrate their lst birthday

    B. Why can't ligers in the world live long

    C. How to raise ligers safely

    D. The story behind the ligers
