One day a rabbit ran into an elephant. "Hello," said the rabbit. "Fine day, isn’t it?" The elephant stopped to look down at the tiny(小的) creature and shouted. "Leave me alone. I don’t have the time to waste on someone so small." The rabbit was shocked by the elephant’s words. Then he decided to ask the whale(鲸鱼) what she thought about the elephant’s rudeness. But the whale laughed at this tiny animal. The rabbit said, "You think that I am weak, but in fact, I am strong! I can beat you at Tug-of-War (拔河比赛)."

The rabbit took the other end and ran away. He called back to the elephant, "When I say 'pull’, you start pulling. "The rabbit took the other end of the rope to the whale, "Tie this to your tail and when I say 'pull’,you swim." The whale tied the rope to her tail after laughing at the rabbit’s foolishness.

阅读理解:

  Suppose we built a robot(机器人)to explore the planet Mars.We provide the robot with seeing detectors(探测器)to keep it away from danger.It is powered entirely by the sun.Should we program the robot to be equally active at all times?No.The robot would be using up energy at a time when it was not receiving any.So we would probably program it to stop its activity at night and to wake up at dawn the next morning.

  According to the evolutionary(进化的)theory of sleep, evolution equipped us with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking for the same reason.The theory does not deny(否认)that sleep provides some important restorative functions(恢复功能).It merely says that evolution has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be inefficient and possibly dangerous.However, sleep protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into; it does not protect us from trouble that comes looking for us.So we sleep well when we are in a familiar, safe place, but we sleep lightly, if at all, when we fear that bears will nose into the tent.

  The evolutionary theory explains the differences in sleep among creatures.Why do eats, for instance, sleep so much, while horses sleep so little?Surely cats do not need five times as much repair and restoration as horses do.But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and are unlikely to be attacked while they sleep.Horses must spend almost all their waking hours eating, because what they eat is very low in energy value.Moreover, they cannot afford to sleep too long or too deeply, because their survival(生存)depends on their ability to run away from attackers.

(1)

The author uses the example of the robot in space exploration to tell us ________.

[  ]

A.

the differences between robots and men

B.

the reason why men need to sleep

C.

about the need for robots to save power

about the danger of men working at night

(2)

Evolution has programmed man to sleep at night chiefly to help him ________.

[  ]

A.

keep up a regular pattern of life

B.

prevent trouble that comes looking for him

C.

avoid danger and inefficient labour

D.

restore his bodily functions

(3)

According to the author, we cannot sleep well when we ________.

[  ]

A.

are worrying about our safety

B.

are overworked

C.

are in a tent

D.

are away from home

(4)

Cats sleep much more than horses do partly because cats ________.

[  ]

A.

need more time for restoration

B.

are unlikely to be attackers

C.

axe more active than homes when they are awake

D.

spend less time eating to get enough energy

(5)

Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?

[  ]

A.

Evolution has equipped all creatures with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking.

B.

The study of sleep is an important part of the evolutionary theory.

C.

Sleeping patterns must be taken into consideration in the designing of robots.

D.

The sleeping pattern of a living creature is determined by the food it eats.

He was 11 years old and went fishing every chance he got from the dock at his family’s   cabin on an island in the middle of a New Hampshire lake.

   On the day before the bass season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening, catching sunfish and perch (鲈鱼)  with worms. Then he tied on a small silver lure(鱼饵) and practiced casting. The lure struck the water and caused colored ripples in the sunset, then silver ripples as the moon rose over the lake.

  When his peapole doubled over, he knew something huge was on the other end. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully worked the fish alongside the dock.

  Finally, he very gingerly lifted the exhausted fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass. The boy and his father looked at the handsome fish, gills playing back and forth in the moonlight. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 P.M.-- two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy.

  “You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said.

  “Dad!” cried the boy.

  “There will be other fish,” said his father.

  “Not as big as this one,” cried the boy.

  He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were anywhere around in the moonlight. He looked again at his father. Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he caught the fish, the boy could tell by the clarity of his father’s voice that the decision was not negotiable(可协商的). He slowly worked the hook out of the lip of the huge bass and lowered it into the black water.

  The creature swished its powerful body and disappeared. The boy suspected that he would never again see such a great fish.

  That was 34 years ago. Today, the boy is a successful architect in New York City. His father’s cabin is still there on the island in the middle of the lake. He takes his own son and daughters fishing from the same dock.

  And he was right. He has never again caught such a magnificent fish as the one he landed that night long ago. But he does see that same fish-again and again-every time he comes up against a question of ethics (道德规范).

1. Why did the father ask his son to put the perch back?

A.Because the father disliked the perch.

B.Because the father was afraid of being fined

C.Because the ethics must be obeyed.

D.Because the son was more experienced in fishing than his father.

2.When does the architect (the father’s son) think of that perch put back?

A.When he takes his own and son and daughters fishing from the same dock.

B.When he builds many famous buildings.

C.When he pays a visit to his old father.

D.When he faces some problems about ethics.

3.Which word can not be used to describe the boy’s father?

A.honest

B.noble-minded

C.caring

D.generous
