of wolves. Some groups believe wolves should be killed. Other people believe wolves must be protected so
that they will not disappear from the wilderness (荒野).
For Killing Wolves
In Alaska, the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago, because hunters were killing hundreds of them
for sport. However, laws were established to protect the wolves from sportsmen and people who catch the
animals for their fur. So the wolf 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 (猎物) 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 wolf 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
wolf""will not disappear.
But the fact is that wolves are afraid of people and 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 by 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.

that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.
Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm
reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They
can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.
For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person"s health than
expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (荷尔蒙). They
speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. In general the person feels excited and
ready to act. Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that
those who express anger ferociously may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those
who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.
Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are
angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about.
If it is, they say, "Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are
able to express yourself calmly and reasonably."
Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry.
They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.
B. fiercely
C. frequently
D. hardly
B. Once you are angry, you will get cancer.

D. instruct people how to deal with anger
scientists from the University of Colorado. The same team found that the extent of Arctic sea ice reached the
lowest level in the satellite record in 2002, offering further proof that climate change is already changing the
Arctic.
Researchers from the University of Colorado (UC) say that the speeding up melting appears to be linked to
changes in Northern Hemisphere atmospheric circulation patterns. The study also found temperatures during
the summer of 2002 were warmer than usual over much of the Arctic Ocean.
"It is likely that sea ice extent will continue to decline over the 21st century as the climate warms,"
researchers added. "With these trends, we may see a 20 percent reduction in the yearly average sea ice by
2050, and by then there might be no ice at all during the summer months."
The report was released on Saturday at the yearly fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union, just one
week after an announcement by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) that sea ice is
melting about nine percent faster than earlier research had showed, and could disappear entirely by the end of
this century.
"This trend of disappearing Arctic sea ice is one example of the environmental damage that can be linked
to carbon dioxide emissions," said Morgan, "When we have the means to reduce CO2 emissions (散发) and
prevent further damage, we should do our best. National leaders must act now to improve energy efficiency
and increase the use of renewable energy sources, like wind and solar, before it"s too late."
UC scientists judge that a change in the Greenland climate toward warmer conditions would lead to an
increase in the rate of sea level rise, which will bring disasters to the human beings.
A. scientists have studied the pictures of the Arctic sent by satellites
B. scientists began to do research on Arctic sea ice in the year 2002
C. warm temperature has hardly any effect on the extent of Arctic sea ice now but soon will
B. disasters will happen if Arctic sea ice continues to melt faster than before
C. the temperature in Greenland will be too warm for animals and human beings to live on
D. people still think Arctic sea ice is melting slowly
B. carbon dioxide emissions are an example of the environmental damage
C. most environmental problems are caused by carbon dioxide emissions
D. people can still have the chance to solve the above environmental problem
To Rescue a Drowning Person
Don"t jump in to save a drowning person unless you are a trained lifesaver. The victim may pull you under.
Instead, try to toss (抛) a life preserver if you have one. Anything that will float can save the person"s life.
A beach ball, a vacuum jug, or a picnic chest will also help. The National Safety Council points out that many
drowning could be prevented if people knew all the common objects that float well enough to help a drowning
person.
If you are in a boat, or you can find one, use the boat to try to reach the person in trouble. Turn the boat
so the victim can grab the stern. Don"t stand up to help the victim. Stay seated so the boat won"t overturn. Try
to balance the boat as the person climbs aboard. If the boat overturns, stay hanging on to the side for a while
to relax before trying to right it.
B. A cardboard box.
C. Something that floats.
D. Something large and heavy.
B. Paddle the boat towards the coast.
C. Stand up and shout for help.
D. Turn rear (后部) of boat towards the person in the water.
B. people are often drowned themselves when they try to save a drowning person
C. so many drowning people are able to save themselves
D. it is important to drink plenty of fluids before swimming
B. In a humorous story about a couple who sail around the world.
C. In a newspaper account of the National Cup sailing competition.
D. In a science text.
growing field of health care known as Music Therapy, which uses music to treat diseases. Even hospitals
are beginning to use music therapy. This is not surprising, as music affects the body and mind in many
powerful ways.
Researchers have shown that quick music can make a person feel more alert (警觉的), while slow music
can produce a calm, deep thinking state. Also, researchers have found that music can change brainwave
activity levels. This can help the brain to change speeds more easily on its own as needed, which means that
music can bring lasting benefits to your state of mind, even after you"ve stopped listening.
Breathing and heart rate can also be influenced by music. This can mean slower breathing, slower heart
rate, and a relaxing response. This is why music and music therapy can help reduce the damaging effects of
long-term stress, greatly promoting not only relaxation, but health. Music can also be used to bring about a
more positive state of mind, by helping to keep worries away.
Music has also been found to bring many other benefits, such as lowering blood pressure and reducing
the risk of strokes among others. It is no surprise that so many people are considering music as an important
tool to help the body become or stay healthy.
B. It is a research about music.
C. It is a kind of disease affected by music.
D. It is a method of using music to help treat diseases.
B. quick music is not good for one"s health
C. slow music can help one think more slowly
D. music will have less benefit after one stops listening
B. it can help change brainwaves
C. it is beneficial to breathing and heart rate
D. it can bring a more positive state of mind
B. the benefits music can bring to treat diseases
C. a research on the effect of music
D. the diseases music can help to treat
The "Monster of Lake Tianchi" in the Changbai Mountains in Jilin province, northeast China, is back in
the news after several recent sightings. The director of a local tourist office, Meng Fanying, said the monster,
which seemed to be black in colour, was ten metres from the edge of the lake during the most recent sighting.
"It jumped out of the water like a seal-about 200 people on Changbai"s western peak saw it," he said. Although
no one really got a clear look at the mysterious creature, Xue Junlin, a local photographer, claimed that its head
looked like a horse.
In another recent sighting, a group of soldiers claim they saw an animal moving on the surface of the water.
The soldiers, who were walking along the side of the lake, watched the creature swimming for about two
minutes. "It was greenish-black and had a round head with 10-centimetre horns", one of the soldiers said.
A third report came from Li Xiaohe, who was visiting the lake with his family. He claims to have seen a
round black creature moving quickly through the water. After three or four hundred metres it dived into the
water. Ten minutes later the monster appeared again and repeated the action. Mr Li Xiaohe said that he and his
family were able to see the monster clearly because the weather was fine and the lake was calm.
There have been reports of monsters in Lake Tianchi since the beginning of the last century, although no
one has seen one close up. Some photos have been taken but they are not clear because it was too far away.
Many people think the monster may be a distant cousin of the Loch Ness monster in Scotland. They also think
that there might be similar creatures in other lakes around the world. Scientists, however, are sceptical. They
say that the low-temperature lake is unlikely to be able to support such large living creatures.
Lake Tianchi is the highest volcanic lake in the world. It is 2,189 metres high and covers an area of about
ten square kilometres. In places it is more than 370 metres deep.
