Believe it or not, the ability to choose is the power to change. If you can choose to live your life differently, will you be the same person?
Well, choosing to do the following few “simple” things will help to change your life.
Review your life. Take time to go through your life and ask yourself, “If I do the same thing I do every day, will there be a change? If I want to change, where will my first step be?”
Make careful choices. Choose exactly what you wish to get to live your life; describe and think what you really want.
Keep up with chances. Find out about the possibilities and ways that can make you move toward your goals, write them down and see which one suits you most.
Get down to business. Start working on your goals. People may bring you down; you may have difficulties; you will fail and want to give up. But the most important thing is never to give up.
If you try these “simple” things, you will find that success is something for everyone, and you will finally become what you want to be. Remember, success is more than what you hold in your hands; it is something from the heart.

It is reported that conservation groups in North America have been arguing about the benefits and dangers of wolves. Some groups believe wolves should be killed. Other people believe wolves

Must be protected so that they will not disappear from the wilderndss(荒野)

                            For Killing Wolves

  In Alaska，the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago，because hunters were killing hundreds

0f them forsport .However．1aws were established to protect the wolves from sportsmen and people who catch the animals for their fur．So the woIf population has greatly increased. Now there are so many wolves that they are destroying their own food supply．

    A wolf naturally eats animals in the deer family. People in the wilderness also hunt deer for

food．Many of the animals have been destroyed by the very cold winters recently and by changes in the wilderness plant life．When the deer can’t find enough food，they die．

   If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer，their prey(獵物)will disappear some

day．And the wolves will．too．So we must change the cycle of life in the wilderness to balance the

ecology．If we killed more wolves，we would save them and their prey from dying out．We’d also

save some farm animals．

    In another northern state，wolves attack cows and chickens for food．Farmers want the

government to send biologists to study the problem．They believe it necessary to kill wolves in some areas and to protect them in places where there is a small woIf population．

                           Against Killing Wolves

  If you had lived long ago，you would have heard many different stories about the dangerous

wolf．According to most stories，hungry wolves often kill people for food．Even today，the stories of the“big bad woIf'＂will not disappear．

    But the fact is wolves are afraid of people．a(chǎn)nd they seldom travel in areas where there is a

human smell．When wolves eat other animals，they usually kill the very young．or the sick and

injured .The strongest survive .No kind of animal would have survived through the centuries if the

weak members had lived．And has always been a law of nature

  Although some people say it is good sense to kill wolves，we say it is nonsense!Researchers

have found wolves and their prey living in balance．The wolves keep the deer population from

becoming too large,and that keeps a balance in the wilderness plant life．

    The real problem is that the areas where wolves can live are being used bv people．Even if

wilderness land is not used directly for human needs．the wolves can’t always find enough food .So they travel to the nearest source,which is often a farm．Then there is danger．The“big bad wolf”has arrived! And everyone knows what happens next．

1．According to the passage，some people in North America favor killing wolves for all the following reasons EXCET that_____________．

    A．there are too many wolves                  B．they kill large numbers deer

    C．they attack cows and chickens for food        D．they destroy the wilderness plant life

2．Some people are against killing wolves because____________．

    A．wolves help to keep the ecological balance in the wildemess

    B．there is too small a wolf population in the wilderness

    C．there are too many deer in the wilderness

    D．wolves are afraid of people and never attack people

3．According to those against killing wolves，when wolves eat other animals，____________．

A．they never eat strong and healthy ones

    B．they always go against the law of nature

    C．they might help this kind of animals survive in nature

    D．they disturb the ecological balance in the wilderness

4．The last sentence“And everyone knows what happens next”implies that in such cases____________．

    A．farm animals will be in danger and have to be shipped away

    B．woIves will kill people and people will in turn kill them

    C．wolves wilI find enough food sources on famls

    D．people will leave the areas where wolves can live

Believe it or not, oceans and seas are easy to be harmed by the development of human society. They are also influenced by man-made pollution easily. It is human beings that do great harm to the ocean ecosystems(生態(tài)系統(tǒng)).

The coral reefs(珊瑚礁)are fine ecosystems that provide food and protection for many ocean creatures. The coral in almost all of the oceans is in danger from pollution.Chemicals from factories end up in the seas and oceans and destroy coral reefs. If the coral systems die some ocean creatures will be sure to die out.

Protecting the ocean also has something to do with the protection of ocean wildlife like dolphins. The fishing industry depends on modern ways to catch many fish in order to earn more money. But the nets for fishing also seize other sea animals. The fishing boat workers are advised to check their nets and set other ocean animals free. But the boats are in a hurry to make money and often other ocean animals are caught with fish.

Offshore oil spills(近海石油泄露) can destroy the ocean environment because oil kills all ocean life. The world depends on oil and because there is a great amount of oil off the shore of many countries, the need for oil is more important than the risk of the oil spill. However, the fact is that one human mistake can lead to an ocean environmental accident that will cause years of damage to the fine ocean ecosystems. Oil spills will kill all the creatures in the area of the spill. The oil will be washed up on shore and destroy the ecosystems along the shore including birds.

Everyone who cares about the environment should be interested in protecting the ocean, and all of us should do something for the protection of the ocean.

1.According to the passage, the ocean is harmed easily as a result of      .

A．the overuse of the oceans

B．the change of natural conditions

C．the increase of population by the sea

D．the increasing activities of humans

2.What does the second paragraph mainly tell readers?

A．How ocean creatures depend on coral reefs.

B．Coral reefs are home to ocean animals.

C．The great harm caused by factory pollution.

D．The importance of protecting coral systems.

3.The underlined work “seize” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced with“      ”.

A．catch             B．a(chǎn)ttract            C．place             D．cover

4.Why do people continue to get oil in the sea at the risk of oil spills?

A．Because they believe the oil spill can be stopped.

B．Because there is a large amount of oil in the sea.

C．Because they are in great need of oil.

D．Because getting oil in sea is easier than on land.

虎媽，美國耶魯大學(xué)的華裔教授蔡美兒Amy Lynn Chua，出版了一本名叫《虎媽戰(zhàn)歌》Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother的書，在美國引起轟動。在接受采訪時，回答了記者的5個問題（第61—65題）。請從下列提問（A、B、C、D、E和F）中選出與她的回答相匹配的問題，并在答題卡上將相應(yīng)選項涂黑。選項中有一項是多余選項。

Questions

A．What do you think of the competition between China and the US?

B．What do you think of the image of “tiger mom?”

C．How do your daughters take the criticism about you after your book was published?

D．You said you would not get her Christmas gifts or anything when your daughter refused to repeatedly practice the music. How did your husband respond?

E．What do you think makes a good mother?

F．What does your husband think of your method of bringing up kids?

1.       

Chua’s answer: Well, actually I think there are many ways of being a good mother. In my book my focus is just a memory about my own family story, me trying to raise my own children in a kind of traditional Chinese way. I make mistakes and I make fun of myself. It’s amazing the way the book has been received internationally, because. I didn’t intend my book to be telling other people of view and I am a proud strict “tiger mom”. But I’m not trying to tell other people what are the best ways to teach or raise their children.

2.       

Chua’s answer: Well, the title may sound a little frightening. Let me tell you why I chose the title. I was born in the year of the tiger. And “battle Hymn” in the United States comes from “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”. The book is really about finding some sort of balance: how can we find the balance between the eastern way of parenting and the western way of parenting. In ways the book as been misunderstood maybe because of the title.

3.       

Chua’s answer: I didn’t write this book to have any foreign policy implications. But it’s been taken into the foreign policy realm. It is of course true that there is a connection between child-raising and the future of nations. We are raising, as parents, the next generation. So I think Henry is right. We tapped into this thing of insecurity, American’s fear about the rising power of china. A friend of mine told me that if the book had been called The Battle Hymn of an Italian Mother or The Battle Hymn of a Mexican Mother, nobody would have cared. It’s really “China”. you know.

4.       

Chua’s answer: I don’t think he opposes my idea of raising children. I’d like to think we have a combination, which is the right solution. You need a balance. From my perspective, what I give my kids is something that I thought was lacking in the US educational system. You know, they hate memorization, while in China you have too much of it. In the US, learning should be fun, a lot of games,. So I brought hard work and disciplines. My husband and I think this is a great thing always teaching them to question the authority and to ask why. Don’t accept everything just because somebody tells you. Figure it out yourself. I really think you need to combine both these qualities if you want creativity and dynamism.

5.       

Chua’s answer:  They both are stronger than I am. I am really proud of them. Their friends and communities supported them. At a time, I couldn’t even look at the Internet because there are so many negative comments. And they would find the good ones and text them to me, saying “here’s a good one mommy, hang in there.” This experience has actually brought my family together. Believe it or not, not just my kids, also my parents and my three younger sisters have supported me.
