That had been Freddie Pilcher’s first meeting with Grandma Pugh. Since then, ten years had passed. Much to his grandmother’s satisfaction, she’d been proven right about the boy’s legs. He was a regular beanpole. Grandma Pugh had also been correct about his eyes. Freddie had been wearing glasses to correct his vision since he was two years old. His current pair was thick, and cheap-looking, but at least he could see.

Freddie not only had poor eyesight, but he was also clumsy. He wasn’t good at schoolwork either. But there was one thing that the boy was good at and it was all on account of the length of his legs. He could jump.

Freddie was the best jumper in school. Not only could he leap the furthest but also the highest. At break times, he entertained the little ones by leaping over the school wall into Mrs. Hobson’s garden and then rapidly jumping back. She had been up to see the head teacher several times because somebody had been crushing her vegetables.

It was badgers (獾), Freddie suggested, when questioned by Miss Harpy—definitely badgers; no doubt about it. His dad had terrible problems with badgers. Only last week he had lost two rows of carrots. Freddie had woken one night and heard them tearing through the garden, a whole herd of them. They rooted up the lawn and dug up the vegetables. Terrible things, badgers. All the other children nodded their heads wisely. There was a moment’s pause in Class Three as everyone thought about the dreadful damage that badgers could do.

King Oscar: Open

This ad puts forward an idea that King Oscar's fish products are as fresh as they can possibly get. This idea is then realized by combining a fish and one of their canned products showing the customer they will be buying a fish straight from the ocean. This simplistic image gives off just enough to tell the consumer what the deal is with their product.

Panasonic 3D TV: Dino

Here is another ad that has a lot going on but still is able to get its message across fairly easily. We will first notice the dinosaur in the mess living room but then see the girl pointing at the TV, which will give us the impression that Panasonic's 3D televisions are extremely realistic. The great art direction leads to the customer understanding what product is on display almost immediately.

Pepsi: Straws

This clever Pepsi ad conveys a lot to the customer; at first glance it gives the impression that Pepsi is the preferred choice of even the straws(吸管). And then after that it makes fun of Coca Cola by using their red and white colors for the other can as well as their classic design. This is a very clever ad on many levels.

Canal+: iPhone Titanic

This ad may take a bit more time to understand but the design itself can keep a customer interested. The large finger and the iPhone in the corner can quickly help the viewer connect the dots with the sinking Titanic ship and show that we can have all our favorite movies right on our iPhones.

It's hard to see how Melbourne could have lost its crown (桂冠) when you look at what it has to offer. 24 hours Coles, free transport for drunks on New Year's Eve, a new freeway, it's all here.

The first focus for the international press will obviously be the endless stadiums dotted around the city. But as well as being full every other weekend, these great places often play host to slightly older kids. At Rod Laver, even the olds get a look-in as the Christian evangelical (教会的) road show rolls into town once a year for a night of stadium worship (崇拜).

Another pleasure Melbourne enjoys is that it's very easy to get around. There's a bit of a squeeze during rush hour for sure, but nothing like Bangkok, where the journey home can take longer than growing a beard and parking is barely distinguishable from the drive itself. Driving here is a piece of cake. It must be because the wise people who hand out the taxis seem to actively encourage a career behind the wheel within 24 hours of landing in the country as an educational tool for getting to know the city. No slowing down for learning bends, just go, go, go!

As for the social life, with over 40 million bars in Melbourne's CBD alone, we have plenty of places for spectators to celebrate national victory, making this town as good as any and it happens 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Unfortunately, the athletes themselves don't get to smell the roses to the same degree. But the rest of the world will know that this is the place to be. The most livable city in the world. By far the easiest place on earth to cheat death, which is essentially what we're talking about.

【1】In Paragraph 1 and 2 the author is wondering ________________.

A.how Melbourne has fallen behind

B.when the international list was re-examined

C.what they should do to regain the world's focus

【2】What does the author mainly want to show in the passage?

A.The casual life styles of Melbourne.

B.The competitive advantages of Melbourne.

【3】From the underlined sentence, we can infer the athletes __________.

A.have minimum social activities

B.take no interest in the beauty of the city

C.are forbidden to live in the busy city center

D.are unwilling to celebrate the victory publicly

【4】Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C: Conclusion

A.B.

Last Friday I took the subway home as usually. Since our physics teacher had just teach us in class that the escalator（自动扶梯） worked, I decided to see how fast the escalator went. To my surprise, it went a speed of about 40 m/min. The next day, I went to a department store with her cousin Emily. I times the escalator here too. I found that it was much slower, going about 30 meter every minute. Why? I check on the Internet and found the reason. Stores slow down escalators on a purpose, allowing customers more time to looking at their products.

There are no land animals that actually live in Antarctica！However，the surrounding oceans are rich in living creatures！It’s just too cold to support very many life forms！Now let’s meet some of the Antarctica’s animals.

Weddell Seal

They are the southernmost pinniped(鳍足类的)in the world. Males are generally smaller than females. Interestingly，a newborn pup has a coat of long hair，which they will shed(脱落) within the first month as the protective layer of their body is developed.

Blue Whale

Named for its bluegray color，this huge animal may grow to be roughly 100 feet long and weigh more than 120 tons！A blue whale eats about 4 tons of krill(磷虾)per day during the feeding season！This means that about 40 million krill are eaten every day for six months by a blue whale！The tongue of the blue whale can be as big as a Volkswagen！The blue whale is the loudest animal on earth!

Rockhopper Penguins

One of the more beautiful penguins，the Rockhopper shake their heads and cause their yellow eyebrows to fly into a “halo”in order to attract a mate!

Wandering Albatross

This species of albatross wanders the oceans for months at a time searching for food. It sleeps on the ocean surface at night and drinks sea water.The Wandering Albatross is the largest bird in the world in terms of wing span—11 feet!

Ross Seal

Ross Seals are very rarely seen because they live deep within the packice. It is believed that Ross Seals feed mainly on squid，fish and krill. They were named after the British polar explorer Sir James Ross，who first discovered them in 1840.

Emperor Penguin

Emperor Penguins are the biggest of the 17 penguin species. They are flightless birds. They are the only living species to reproduce during the harsh Antarctic winter. Without a nest，the father Emperor Penguin keeps the egg warm by holding it on his feet for 2－3 months until spring，during which the father doesn’t eat anything and he just eats a little snow for moisture. Unbelievable！What a Dad!
