阅读理解       What would you do if you found a snake in your house? Many people might be afraid or try to kill
it. However, if you live in North Carolina in the USA, one thing you can do is to call the Snake Catchers.
       The Snake Catchers are four men who love snakes,  even poisonous ones.  Their newspaper
advertisement says, "Snake Catchers: free snake removal(除去)一Please do not kill them - Call us. "
       The Snake Catchers, who started their service in 1998, don"t charge anything for helping people.
"We do this as a hobby," explained Fred Johnson, one of the Snake Catchers.
       Because of their love of snakes, the Snake Catchers try to keep them alive. "One man asked us to
kill a python(蟒蛇), so he could make a pair of boots from the skin. We refused, because we like snakes, and we don"t want to see them killed, " said Fred.
       Some of the snakes that they catch are kept as pets; some are given to the North Carolina State
University. Most, including the poisonous snakes, are set free in the wild, usually in a national park.
       Fred suggests that people should treat snakes with care. "Actually snakes are very shy and gentle
creatures. They only attack if they are frightened. However, you have to know how to treat a snake
properly!"
       According to one happy family, the Snake Catchers are good. One day, the Greenwood family
found a snake skin in the kitchen.  They looked very carefully and saw a snake sleeping behind a
cupboard. They thought about what to do. Then Steve Greenwood remembered the advertisement for
the Snake Catchers. He called them.
       "The Snake Catchers arrived within an hour and they finished the job quickly too," said Steve
Greenwood. "One of them went into the kitchen, found the snake and took it out alive. The Snake
Catchers did a very good job."
       Last year, the Snake Catchers removed more than seventy snakes from houses in North Carolina.1. The Snake Catchers catch snakes because ______.A. they want to kill the snakes

                                                  CCTV cameras watch action
    In UK , Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras are everywhere. They help the police solve crimes and keep the streets safe. But that’s not all they do . They also catch people doing very stupid or smart things.
    One of the videos is of a British woman Mary Bale. She clearly doesn"t like cats. In 2010 she was caught on CCTV throwing one into a dustbin. The video shows Mary walking down a quiet street. All of sudden ,
she notices Lola the cat jump onto a fence. Mary stops to pickup Lola and drops her into a large dustbin .
Lola was saved fifteen hours later. And Mary was arrested for causing unnecessary suffering to an animal .
She was fined ( 罚款) £250 and was not allowed to own pets for five years.
    Another video shows "Britain’s drunkest man" . He’s been at a party at London"s Savoy Hotel. And he’d obviously had a few too many glasses of beer. At about 2 a. m. , he was kicked out for being too drunk .
So, he decided to walk home. On the way , CCTV cameras filmed him falling down stairs and crossing the
roads madly… A Savoy Hotel waiter said, " It"s amazing he didn’t hurt himself badly."
    Sometimes they also record smart events. Once a British band The Get Out Clause didn"t have any money to make a music video. So , they came up with an unbelievable idea. They set up their instruments ( 乐器) and played a song in front of eight CCTV cameras. And then, according to the English Freedom of Information Act , they asked for a copy of all the footages ( 视频) , which they edited. The result is that a totally
new music video was made, and it didn’t cost them a penny.
