I filled a box with foods and clothes.While I was doing this，I encouraged the boys to choose their toys and donate some of their less favourite things.Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and games and put them together.Then she walked away.A few minutes later she came back with Lucy，her much?loved doll.She put the doll on top of the other toys.“Oh，dear，”I said.“You don’t have to give Lucy.You love her so much.”Meghan said，“Lucy makes me happy，Mommy.Maybe she’ll make another little girl happy, too.”

I looked at Meghan for a long moment.She taught me a lesson.It’s easy to give something that we don’t want any more，but hard to give what we cherish(珍爱)，isn’t it?

Thirteen government officials have been punished and a man arrested for presenting false evidence to prove the highly endangered South China tiger existed in the wild.

The Shaanxi provincial government said Sunday that farmer Zhou Zhenglong had fudged some photographs for the purpose. The government had earlier claimed the photos were real.

The 54?year?old farmer from Zhenping county, who claimed to have photographed the “tiger” with a digital camera on October 3 last year, was arrested for alleged fraud on Saturday, said Bai Shaokang, spokesman for the Shaanxi provincial public security bureau. The provincial forestry department has revoked(取消,收回)his 20,000?yuan reward($2,915)too.

Experts believe the South China tiger is the progenitor of all the living tiger species.

Its number in the wild had fallen between 30 and 80 by 1996.Now,it is widely believed to have become extinct in the wild.

Bai said police have seized the old tiger photograph, which Zhou borrowed from a farmer in another village in September to fudge his photos. A tiger paw made of wood, which he used to create pug marks on snow, has been seized too.

Zhou had insisted that he “risked his life to take the photos of a real tiger”.

Police have found the exact spot where Zhou took the photos. It is in Madaozi forest, 15 km from Wencai village in Zhenping, and is 2,000 m above the sea level, Bai said. “It is a small area with few tall trees not a suitable habitat for a tiger.”

Police discovered that “trees” near the South China tiger in Zhou’s photograph were just 0.8 cm in diameter. And calculations showed the “tiger” would have been only 27cm long.

1．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?

A．A lot of people are involved in presenting evidence to prove the tiger has been extinct.

B．The local government had accepted the photos and claimed they were real.

C．The South China tiger is the progenitor of all the tiger species.

D．The spot where Zhou took the photos is a suitable habitat for a tiger.

2．The underlined word “fudge” means________.

A．捏造,伪造 B．拍照

C．制造　　　 D．计划

3．Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

A．Shots of tiger in the world is not real

B．Zhou and his “tiger”

C．The South China tiger is extinct

D．How did Zhou fudge some photos

4．How many people are involved in the case according to the passage?

A．13　　 B．14　　 C．15　　 D．16
