    The Cuban iguana is a species of lizard（蜥蜴） of the iguana family. It is the largest of the West Indian rock iguanas, one of the most endangered groups of lizards. This species with red eyes and a thick tail is one of the largest lizards in the Caribbean.

    The Cuban iguana is primarily herbivorous; 95% of its diet consists of the leaves, flowers and fruits from as many as 30 plant species, including the seaside rock bush and various grasses. However, Cuban iguanas occasionally consume animal matter, and individuals have been observed eating the dead flesh of birds, fish and crabs. The researchers wrote that quite a few people on Isla Magueyes could have caused this incident.

    The Cuban iguana is distributed throughout the rocky southern coastal areas of mainland Cuba and its surrounding islands with a wild population booming on Isla Magueyes, Puerto Rico. It is also found on the Cayman Islands of Little Cayman and Cayman Brac, where a separate subspecies occurs. Females guard their nest sites and often nest in sites half destroyed by Cuban crocodiles. To avoid the attack from them, the Cuban iguana often makes its home within or near prickly-pear cacti（仙人掌）.

    In general the species is in decline, more quickly on the mainland than on the outlying islands. One of the reasons for their decline is habitat destruction caused by the over consuming of farm animals, housing development, and the building of tourist resorts on the beaches where the animals prefer to build their nests. Although the wild population is in decline, the numbers of iguanas have been sharply increased as a result of captive-breeding（圈养）and other conservation programs.

    1.The underlined word "herbivorous" （Paragraph 2） probably means .

    A. dangerous B. gentle

    C. plant-eating D. flesh-eating

    2.Why does the Cuban iguana build its nest near prickly-pear cacti?

    A. To keep itself cool.

    B. To get the food easily.

    C. To stay away from people.

    D. To avoid crocodiles' attack.

    3.How many reasons are mentioned for the habitat destruction?

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

    4.What's the author's purpose of writing the text?

    A. To give us a brief introduction to the Cuban iguana.

    B. To show he is concerned about the Cuban iguana.

    C. To explain reasons for the Cuban iguana's decline.

    D. To draw people's attention to the endangered Cuban iguana.

    Sure, it’s good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.

    And yes, it’s good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to understand the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life.

    “But really, there’s one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do, learning bursts right open,” says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column called “Teacher Says” for the Washington Post newspaper.

    In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school life, such as bullying.

    As a kid in a primary or middle school, you’re at a wonderful stage in your life. You’re like a sponge (海绵), able to absorb lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you’re able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, in most cases, is very excited to be the person who’s giving you all that material and helping you make it. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you’re open to what they’re teaching you. That’s why they wanted to be teachers in the first place—to teach!

    Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren’t going well, they won’t learn as well and won’t enjoy being in class.

    1.In the passage, the author mainly talks about _______.

    A. how to get along well with others

    B. how much the students are expected of to get along with teachers

    C. the importance of a good relation with teachers

    D. how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant

    2.“Learning bursts right open” in the third paragraph really means _______.

    A. there’ll be more problems with learning

    B. you find an opening to learning

    C. learning becomes easier for you at once

    D. there’ll be no problems at all with learning

    3.Which of the comments is FALSE on teachers and their work according to the passage?

    A. Teachers sometimes have the same feelings as students do.

    B. Teachers are excited even if you wouldn’t like to accept their teaching.

    C. Though few, there are still some students who can learn even if they don’t like the teacher.

    D. Having a bad relationship with your teachers does more or less harm to your studies.
