Sometimes you can’t believe what is happening before
your eyes. With all her big brothers and sisters off to school, our
four-year-old daughter, Becky, felt 36 at home. Cattle and horses were too
big for her to 37 with. Oh, my poor daughter.
One day I had just finished washing the lunch dishes
when Becky rushed in with 38 . “Mama!” she cried, “Come to see my
new dog! I gave him water two times already. He’s so thirsty.”
I 39 , another of Becky’s imaginary 40
.
“Please come, Mama.” She pulled 41
my jeans, her brown eyes pleading（肯求）. “He’s crying―and he can’t
walk!” “Can’t walk?” I could 42 it must be a certain animal this time.
“All right, honey,” I said. By the time I tried to 43 her, Becky had already disappeared into
the 44 . “Where are you?” I called. “Over
here by the oak stump（橡木樁）. Hurry , Mama!” I 45 the branches and raised my hand 46 the glare of the sun. To my 47 , she was touching an unmistakable
head of a wolf!
“Becky,” My mouth
felt dry. “Don’t move.” I 48 closer. Yes, it was a big wolf which was
badly hurt. Suddenly the wolf 49 . “It’s all right, boy.” Becky 50 it. “Don’t be afraid. That’s my Mama, and
she loves you, too.” Then the unbelievable thing happened. As her tiny hands
51 the great shaking
head, I found the wolf 52 down and waved his tail gently. “Honey,”
my 53 tightened. “Put his 54 down and come to Mama. We’ll go and find
help.”
Becky got up and kissed the wolf on the nose before
she walked slowly into my arms. With Becky55 in my arms, I ran home quickly.
I can’t understand why my little girl could get along well with the wolf, but I
always think if only all of us could get on well with other animals, like my
slaughter and the wolf.
Nothing is more upset than
not being able to sleep, tossing and turning. Your mind is racing, going over
everything that happened that day. Night noises keep you awake, what can you
do? Here are some things you can do to help you to fall asleep.
Sleep only when sleepy
This reduces the time you
are awake in bed.
If you can't fall asleep
within 20 minutes, get up and do something boring until you feel sleepy.
Don't expose yourself to
bright light while you are up. The light tells your brain that it is time to
wake up.
Don't take naps
This will ensure that you
are tired at bedtime. If you just can't make it through the day without a nap,
sleep less than one hour, and take a nap before 3 p.m.
Get up and go to bed the
same time every day
Even on weekends! When your
sleep cycle has a regular rhythm, you will feel better.
Regular exercise can help
you sleep well, but the time to do exercise is important. Exercising in the
morning or early afternoon will not interfere（干擾）with sleep.
Have a snack before bedtime
If your stomach is too
empty, that can interfere with sleep. However, if you eat a heavy meal before
bedtime, that can interfere as well. Have a warm glass of milk.
Take a hot bath 90 minutes
before bedtime
A hot bath will raise your
body temperature, but it is the drop in body temperature that may make you feel
sleepy.

We all know that when leaves
fall to the ground they die and become food for worms. When worms pass the
leaves, their waste can help to make the soil rich, from which the plants use
to get their nutrition. The plants grow and provide food for animals. When the
animals eat the plants, their waste goes back into the soil. It’s a perfect
cycle.
But at the Elephant
Conservation Centre in Lampang, Northern Thailand, they are using elephant
waste for something more―to make 100% natural,
beautiful colorful paper products! 100 years ago over 100,000 elephants in Thailand
worked on farms, building sites and even in the army. However, only 6,000
remain there today because of advances in technology that have made elephants’
old word less necessary. Elephants are doing new jobs now, including
entertaining tourists by painting and playing football, and now by helping in
the paper making industry. And their keepers, called Mahouts, can earn a living
for their families and help their elephants by using elephant waste, also
called “dung” to make beautiful, natural, paper products without any bad smell.
Every day an
adult elephant eats about 200kg
of plants like bamboo, grass and watermelon seeds. His body system breaks the
plants into 50kg of
fibers, which can produce 115 sheets of fibrous paper.
The first step to
make this special natural paper is to collect the fiber rich “dung” from the
elephant. The next step is to wash it and boil it for five hours to kill
bacteria. （The water the use in this process is reused to water plans at
the Centre, which, in turn, feed the elephants）. After it’s boiled, they
cut fibers up. During the cutting process, they add in the desired color of the
paper. For the fourth step, they take the mixture and make balls of 300g. Each ball is then speeds lightly over
bamboo frames to dry into one large sheet of paper. After a few hours in the
sun, the sheets are dry enough to remove. The result is a wonderful, 100%
natural, recycled paper. People around the world are getting interested in
buying this special elephant paper for their holiday cards, writing paper and
much more, because it’s beautiful, natural and helps so many.
60．Why are there few elephants
in Thailand
today than before?
A．Because they don’t have
enough food.
B．Because they were killed in
the war.
C．Because they technology
develops very fast.

Somehow Rey had managed to struggle free from the rope
around his neck, after being left to die a slow death as punishment for being a
bad Spanish greyhound（獵狗）.
20090506
But Rey's
intended fate（命運(yùn)） was, even within the levels of cruelty usually shown to
Spanish hunting dogs, especially cruel. The rope around his neck had been set
at a height so that his front paws could not touch the ground, meaning that he
was intended to stand on his back legs until he was too tired to support
himself. When his legs finally became too tired, the rope should have done its
work.
"They call
it the typewriting death, because the dog's back legs struggled against the
ground and make the clicking sound of a typewriter," said Albert Sorde, of
the SOS Galgos greyhound rescue group. "It is a punishment for greyhounds
that are thought to have made their owners lose face."
"Rey's throat was severely damaged but we managed
to find a vet to operate and, though it was expensive, he survived," he
said.
Greyhounds in Spain are used for hunting hares（野兔）. "The dogs
are meant to imitate the swerves（轉(zhuǎn)向）of the hares," said
Sorde. "Those who don't, and make their owners look bad, are called '
dirty greyhounds' and are most likely to be killed by the typewriter
method."
63．Rey was intended to be
killed by.
A．Kicking B．burying C．hanging D．drowning
64．The underlined word
"vet" in （Paragraph 5） probably means “_________”.
A．a(chǎn)nimal doctor B．a(chǎn)mbulance
C．a(chǎn)nimal medicine D．equipment
65．What can you infer from the
passage?
A．Dogs are not kept as pets in
Spain.
B．Rey was punished because he
had not been loyal to his owner.
C．The typewriting death is
named because a typewriter is used in the punishment.
