don"t want to take it home to eat. In some cases, releasing fish is a good measure that will help keep fish
variety and build their population size. The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) encourages
fishermen who practice catch-and-release fishing to use a few simple skills when doing so. The advice
provided below will help make sure that the fish you release will survive (存活) to bite again another day.
-When catching a fish, play it quickly and keep the fish in the water as much as possible.
-Don"t" use a net in landing the fish and release it quickly to prevent it from dying.
-Hold the fish gently. Do not put your fingers in its eyes. Don"t wipe the scales (鱼鳞) off the fish
because it might cause it to develop a disease and reduce its chance of survival.
-Remove your hook (鱼钩) quickly. If the hook is too deep or hooked in the stomach, cut the line and
leave the hook in. The hook left inside will cause no serious problem to the fish.
-Take good care of the fish by moving it gently in water. Release the fish when it begins to struggle and
is able to swim.
-Do not hold fish in a bucket or some other containers and later decide to release it. If you are going to
release a fish, do so right away. With a little care and by following the suggestions given above, you can
give the released fish a better chance of survival.

2005. You have a job, a family and you"re about 40 years old welcome to your future life.
Getting ready for work, you pause in front of the mirror. "Turn red," you say. Your shirt changes from
sky blue to deep red. Tiny preprogrammed electronics (智能电子元件) are rearranged in your shirt to change
its color. Looking into the mirror, you find it hard to believe you"re 40. You look much younger. With amazing
advances in medicine, people in your generation may live to be 150 years old. You"re not even middle-aged!
As you go into the kitchen and prepare to pour your breakfast cereal into a bowl, you bear, "To lose weight,
you shouldn"t eat that," from your shoes. They read the tiny electronic (电子源码) on the cereal box to find
out the nutrition details. You decide to listen to your shoes. "Kitchen, what can I have for breakfast?" A list of
possible foods appears on the counter as the kitchen checks its food supplies.
"Ready for your trip to space?" you ask your son and daughter. In 2005 only specially trained astronauts
went into space-and very few of them. Today anyone can go to space for day trips or longer vacations. Your
best friend even works in space. Handing your children three strawberries each, you "The doctor said you need
these for space travel" Thanks to medical advances, vaccination shots (防疫针) are a thing of the past.
Ordinary foods contain specific vaccines. With the berries in their mouths, the kids bead for the front door.
It"s time for you to go to work. Your car checks your fingerprints and unlocks the doors "My office.
Autopilot," you command. Your car drives itself down the road and moves smoothly into traffic on the highway.
You sit back and unroll your e-newspaper. The latest news down loads and fills the viewer. Looking through
the pages you watch the news as video film rather than read it.
B. The shirt itself.
C. The counter.
D. The medicine.
B. By listening to the doctor"s advice.
C. By testing the food supplies in the kitchen.
D. By checking the nutrition details of the food.
B. lunch
C. vaccines
D. nutrition
B. In order of frequency.
C. In order of preference.
D. In order of importance.
old-fashioned but nice, like dolls" houses. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London.
I"ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it"s an ugly town now.
Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good man-ners.
The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good man-ners-people
shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.
I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You"re forced to live indoors. In Paris
I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub,
and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.
As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public trans-port
after 10 p. m. I used to use it, but now I"m afraid.
The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and
that"s typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbour who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles
away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.
B. has lived there for seventeen years
C. prefers to live in an old-fashioned house
D. has to be polite to everyone she meets there
B. In a restaurant.
C. In a nightclub.
D. In a pub.
B. the money
C. a bomb
D. public transport
B. had never been to France
C. was from a typical French family
D. didn"t like the British idea of family
for that particular brand (品牌) of product on the shelf.
Colouring, for example, varies according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are
packaged (包装) in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colours. Ice cream
packets are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver.
When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently, researchers found that the colours turned the
customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually, it came on the market in
a dark blue and white package-blue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.
The size of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a bottle doesn"t contain as much as it appears
to.
It is believed that the better-known companies spend, on average, 70 per cent of the total cost of the
product itself on packaging!
The most successful producers know that it"s not enough to have a good product. The founder of Pears
soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote (推销) their goods, came to the conclusion: "Any
fool can make soap, but it takes a genius (天才) to sell it."
B. The price of the product.
C. The colour of its package.
D. The brand name of the product.
B. had weak effects on the customers
C. tricked the customers into shopping
D. caused the customers to lose interest
B. The discovery of a genius.
C. The team to produce a good product.
D. The brand name used by successful producers.
B. Disadvantages of Products
C. Effect of Packaging on Shopping
D. Brand Names and Shopping Tricks

I was the middle child of three, but there was a gap of five years on either side, and I hardly saw my father before I was eight. For this and other reasons I was somewhat lonely. I had the only child"s habit of making up stories and holding conversations with imaginary persons, and I think from the very start my literary ambitions (文学志向) were mixed up with the feeling of being isolated (孤独) and undervalued. I knew that I had a natural ability with words and a power of facing unpleasant facts, and I felt that this created a sort of private world in which I could get my own back for my failure in everyday life. However, the quantity of serious writing which I produced all through my childhood would not add up to half a dozen pages. I wrote my first poem at the age of four or five, my mother taking it down to dictation. I can not remember anything about it except that it was about a tiger and the tiger had "chair-like teeth"-a good enough expression. At eleven, when the war of 1914-18 broke out, I wrote a poem which was printed in the local (地方 的) newspaper, as was another, two years later, on the death of Kitchener. From time to time, when I was a bit older, I wrote bad and usually unfinished "nature poems". I also, about twice, attempted a short story which was a failure. That was the total of the would-be serious work that I actually set down on paper during all those years. | |
