When a very young squirrel（松鼠）fell off a tree, he didn’t know that would start a most unusual friendship.

Linda found the squirrel and his sister lying on the ground. They had fallen about 40 feet out of their nest（窝）. The sister was dead. The other survived because he landed on his sister. Linda thought their mother, who was found nearby, died from being poisoned. Many people put out mouse poison and squirrels ate it. Linda decided to care for the newly-born squirrel. She named him Finnegan.

But Linda worried that her dog Giselle might hurt Finnegan. “I didn’t know if she wanted the squirrel for breakfast, or if she wanted it as a toy.” However, to her surprise, Giselle liked Finnegan and she took care of Finnegan, too. And they played, ate, and slept together. After a short time, Giselle and Finnegan bonded.

Linda tried to teach Finnegan how to eat nuts, and taught him to find food himself. She said squirrels shouldn’t be kept as pets. When Finnegan was 8 weeks old, Linda started letting him outside. At first, he ran around but would stay in Linda’s yard. Every night, he would scratch（用指甲挠）at the back door or at one of Linda’s windows to be let in. Linda refused. Then one day, he didn’t come back. Two weeks later, he returned with four squirrels, and then disappeared again and returned one more time – on Thanksgiving Day. “He came close, but he wouldn’t let me touch him. He just wanted me to know he was OK. He’s wild, free and happy and doing exactly what he’s supposed to be doing. ”Linda smiled with tears.

阅读下面的短文，并根据要求答题。(请注意问题后的字数要求)。

    Human uses a little less than half the water available worldwide．Yet occurrences of shortages and droughts(干旱)are causing starvation and misfortunes in some areas，and industrial and agricultural by-products are polluting water supplies．Since the world’s population is expected to double in the next 50 years，many experts think we are on the edge of a widespread water crisis(危机)．

But              ．Water shortages do not have to trouble the world——if we start valuing water more than we have in the past．Just as we began to appreciate oil more after the 1970s oil crises，today we must start looking at water in a fresh economic way．We can no longer afford to consider water an actually free resource of which we can use as much as we like in any way we want．Instead，for all uses except the demand of the door, governments should price water to reflect its actual value．This means charging a fee for the water itself as well as for the supply costs．

    Governments should also protect this resource by providing water in more economically and environmentally sound ways．For example，often the cheapest way to provide irrigation water in the dry areas is through small projects．such as gathering rainfall in depressions(凹地)and pumping it to nearby cropland．

    No matter what steps governments take to provide water more efficiently，they must change their institutional(制度上的)and legal approaches to water use．Rather than spread control among hundreds or even thousands of local，and national agencies that watch water use，countries should set up central authorities to carry out water policy．

1．Fill in the following chart with proper words or phrases according to the first paragraph (Please answer within 4 words in each blank．)．

2．Fill in the blank in the second paragraph with a proper sentence．(Please answer within 10 words．)

3．Translate the underlined sentence in the second paragraph into Chinese．

4．Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?

  In order to protect water, we should serve water supply in ways of spending little money and doing no harm to the environment．

5．What other effective way(s) can you think of to prevent water crisis?(Please answer within 30 words)

One Sunday morning there were some people in Zhongshan Park._________________

Alfred Korzybski believes that all human beings lead a kind of double life. First, people live in an internal (内在的) world of ideas, feelings, etc. The happenings in this world are patterns of events in the human nervous system . Secondly , people live in a world outside their skins, the external(外在的)world of “reality”. The happenings in this world are patterns of events best known to science.

The first world, the patterns of events inside our skins, Korzybski called the INTEN- SIONAL areA．The second, the patterns of events outside our skins, he called the EXTEN- SIONAL area . Think for a moment about the two worlds in which you live. Look , for example, at the following diagram:

INTENSIONAL PATTERNS           EXTENSIONAL PATTERNS

“cat”                             An object we call “cat”.

The word "cat ".                        A pattern of physical and

The image of this cat.                    chemical events best

Ideas about cats.                        known to science.

Feelings about cats.

Physical tensions aroused

by the cat: the urge to

pick it up, to kick it, etc.

Thinking along these lines , Alfred Korzybski began to see what was wrong with the great number of people: they confused intensional events with extensional “reality”. He believed that too many people mistake the events in their own nervous systems for events in the outside world . When they get lost in a strange city , more often than not they are angry at the map they use. In fact, it’s the maps of words in their heads that are to blame.

1．According to Alfred Korzybski, we human beings live in__________.

    A．the world of ideas

    B．the world of reality

    C．either the world of ideas or that of reality

    D．both the world of ideas and that of reality

2．The INTENSIONAL area in the passage refers to the patterns of events__________.

       A．outside our skins                                  B．best known to science

       C．in the human nervous system          D．in the external world of reality

3．Which of the following belongs to EXTENSIONAL pattern?

       A．A computer on the shelf.               B．A computer is useful.

C．I like the computer.                    D．I want to buy the computer.

4．According to what Alfred Korzybski states in the last paragraph, you get lost because of _  .   

    A．the map you bring with you             B．the maps of words in your head

       C．the reality world before you                  D．the strange city you visit
