    　　Most people think of a camel as an obedient(驯服的)beast of burden, because it is best known for its ability to carry heavy loads across vast stretches of desert without requiring water. In reality, the camel is considerably more than just the Arabian equivalent(等同物)of the mule. It also possesses a great amount of intelligence and sensitivity(敏感).

    　　The Arabs say that camels are so acutely aware of injustice (不公平)and ill-treatment that a camel owner who punishes one of the beasts too hard finds it difficult to escape the camel's revenge(报仇). Apparently, the animal will remember an injury and wait for an opportunity to get revenge.

    　　In order to protect themselves from the vengeful(报仇的) beasts, Arabian camel drivers have learned to trick their camels into believing they have achieved revenge. When an Arab realizes that he has excited a camel's rage(愤怒), he places his own garments(外衣)on the ground in the animal's path. He arranges the clothing so that it appears to cover a man's body. When the camel recognizes its master's clothing on the ground, it seizes the pile with its teeth, shakes the garments angrily and steps on them in a rage again and again. In the end, after its anger has died away, the camel leaves, believing its revenge is completed. Only then does the owner of the garments come out of hiding, safe for the time being, thanks to this clever trick.

    (1)Which of the following is mentioned in this passage?

    [　　]

    A．The camel never drinks water.

    B．The camel is always violent.

    C．The camel is very sensitive.

    D．The camel is not used any more.

    (2)From this passage we can conclude that ________.

    [　　]

    A．camels are generally kind towards their owners

    B．camels are as stupid and sensitive as mules

    C．camels don't see very well

    D．camels try to punish people who ill-treat them

    (3)The writer makes the camel's vengeful behavior clear to the readers by presenting

    [　　]

    A．a well-planned argument

    B．a large variety of examples

    C．some eyewitness accounts

    D．a typical incident

    (4)which of the following is TRUE?

    [　　]

    A．A man who punishes a camel too harshly has to play a clever trick on it.

    B．a camel is very clever.

    C．A camel is dangerous for its owner.

    D．The camel tramples the garments violently in the face of the owner of the garments.

    Old-Fashioned Play－For Pay

    　　Kids!Come have a ball!Or 60,000 of them!There’s a new type of business franchise that is appearing in shopping malls and neighborhoods across America offering pay-per-use indoor playgrounds ,which feature toys ,games ,supervised fun and a workout that doesn’t break the family bank．

    　　As public playgrounds grow increasingly worn and dirty, the for-profit centers offer clean, safe supervised activity as well as a variety of challenging exercises to develop youngsters’ physical fitness, usually for a fee of around 5$ an hour．“Playgrounds are dirty ,not supervised,” says Dick Guggenheimer ,owner of the two-month-old Discovery Zone in Yonkers, N.Y., part of Kansas City-based chain, “We are indoors; we are padded(铺上软垫)；parents can feel their child is safe”．

    　　In order to satisfy the need of two-earner families ,the new franchise stayed open in the evenings ,long after traditional public playgrounds have grown dark and unusable．However these new playgrounds are not meant to be day-care centers．Parents are expected go stay and play with their kids rather than drop them off．But several also provide high-tech baby-sitting services．At some of the Discovery Zones, parents can register their children in special supervised programs, then leave them and slip away for a couple of hours to enjoy a movie or dinner．If there is a problem ,Mom and Dad are called．

    　　The most fun of all, though, is getting to do what parents used to do in the days before two-earner families and two-hour commutes; play with their kids．That ,at least ,is old-fashioned, even at per-hour rates．
