Elephants might be the most well-known and well-loved animal in African wildlife. But conservation (保護(hù)) of the African elephant faces special difficulties. While the elephant population is half of what it was 40 years ago, some areas of Africa have more elephants than populated areas can support. That's why AWF scientists are studying elephant behavior, protecting habitats and finding ways for humans to live peacefully with elephants in Africa.
Years ago, over hunting and the ivory trade were the biggest threats to elephants survival. Luckily, ivory bans (禁令), hunting rules and protected areas protect elephants from these dangers today.
The 21st century brings a different challenge to elephant conservation —land-use. Elephants walk across borders and outside parks and other protected areas. So they often destroy crops, causing conflicts (沖突) between local farmers and these big animals.
Successful conservation strategies (策略) must allow elephants to walk freely in their natural habitats while reducing conflicts between elephants and local people.
AWF researchers are searching for a way to give both elephants and people the space they need. The AWF is collecting information on elephant habitats and behavior. The information they gather will help to develop the widest possible space for elephants.
The AWF is helping elephants by protecting their habitats. And they also work with local farmers to improve their life in order to encourage them to protect rather than destroy elephants.
（1）The first paragraph of the text is mainly to tell readers _____.
A.African elephants are endangered now
B.there remains a lot to do to protect African elephants
C.African elephants are popular animals
D.the number of African elephants has increased over the years
（2）What is the biggest difficulty in protecting African elephants now?
A.They are still being killed.
B.Their habitats are being destroyed.
C.They don't have enough food.
D.They can't live in peace with farmers.
（3）To protect elephants, the AWF does all the following EXCEPT _____.
A.keeping elephants
B.protecting elephants' habitats
C.doing research on elephants
D.helping farmers improve their life
（4）What is the best title for the text?
A.African elephants conservation
B.Living with African elephants
C.African elephants' situation
D.African elephants being endangered

Think about what major you want to study in college. If you know that, just look at colleges that have your major.【2】So think carefully about your major and interests before choosing one.

Where the college is located matters. Anyone who tells you the location isn’t important is lying.【3】If you look forward to working in the publishing industry, New York may be your best bet. If your parents want you to stay close to home, please don’t consider anywhere that requires a plane ticket to get to.

Think about how much you can afford. Are your parents paying for your education? If so, how much are they willing to spend? Do you have to contribute anything? Financial aid and scholarships exist, but don’t count on anything. 【4】These are all things to consider before you fall in love with a college.

Make sure you’re going to spend time with the right people. The cool thing about college is that each different one attracts different kinds of people. For the first thing in your life, you get to choose where you get to spend your time and who you get to spend it with. 【5】Make sure that the people you’re with for four years are your kind of people.

A. College is about learning what you love.

B. You’d better choose a major that is popular.

C. Go to the college with some people you like.

D. Remember, above all, it is the people that make the place.

E. Are you willing to go into major debt over a school?

F. If you don’t like cold weather, stay away from northern schools.

The other day,I was on my way back home from school while I found a lime boy crying on the road.I stopped and asked him what is the matter,and he told me he couldn’t find his mom.Luckily,he remembered his mother's telephone number.So I called him immediately.Ten minute later,the boy saw his mom and became exciting.His mom was so much thankful that she wanted to buy me a small gift,and I refused.At that time,I felt quite happily because I did something really good.

To my opinion,the world needs love and we should be willing to help others without expecting any repay.If we wanted repay,as matter of fact,a “thank-you” is enough.

Computer technology is still developing rapidly. The computer of the future will continue to increase in value and performance while decreasing in cost. It will become smaller, but faster and more powerful.
It is possible to make some guesses about what the future of the computer will look like, based upon the types of technologies that are being developed now. A lot of progress has already been made in some of these new technologies, but some are still in their earliest stages and may not be ready for use for years. Two of the most interesting areas of computing that are currently being developed are quantum computing (量子計算) and nanotechnology (納米技術(shù)).
Quantum computing is one possibility for the future of the computer that could make computers run far faster than even the quickest computers do today. Quantum computers could be able to do what modern supercomputers are unable to do by using transistors that are able to take on many states at the same time.
Nanotechnology could also change the face of computing, by creating computers that could be very powerful, though they are tiny in size. These computers could be incorporated (并入) into everyday objects, including electrical appliances (電器), clothes and even the human body. We will be able to use computers in new and unimaginable ways. They will become a part of our lives rather than simply being a box that is used only for specific purposes, such as work.
Quantum computing and nanotechnology will be able to play new roles, which will make us live greener lives, as well as enjoy better health and happier lives.
（1）Which of the following can NOT describe the computer of the future properly?
A.Much smaller.
B.Much faster.
C.More powerful.
D.Less valuable.
（2）According to the text, quantum computing _____.
A.has been put in use so far
B.can make computers run by themselves
C.can reduce the cost of computers
D.will work by using transistors
（3）We can learn from the text that nanotechnology will _____.
A.create much smaller computers
B.be used in electrical appliances and clothing
C.change the structure of computers
D.make computers just serve specific purposes
（4）The text is mainly about _____.
A.what nanotechnology is
B.what quantum computing is
C.what the future of the computer is
D.what future computers can bring us

A. sensitive B. tentative

C. active D. creative

Outside stood a tall man wearing a black raincoat and black rubber boots. He said he was a salesman and asked politely if out mother or father was at home.
Without thinking, my brother said:” No.” He asked if we would like to buy some comic books which he was selling. I quickly explained that we were not supposed to buy anything without our parent's permission.
Then, as I was about to close the door, he forced his way into our house. He took out a knife and forced me to tie up my brother's hands with some rope which he took out form his pocket. I tied up his hands but tied it in a special way so my brother could untie himself. The man then tied my hands up and locked both of us in the kitchen.
Soon, the went upstairs to search the bedroom for valuables. I managed to teach my brother to untie the rope on the his hands. He then untied me.
