阅读理解。     BEIJING-The handsome face and muscular figure of Lin Dan make him an ideal candidate for the big
screen.
     However, the Chinese badminton superstar says any speculation about a career in the entertainment
industry will have to wait until his on-court career ends.

as long as I"m still able to play the sport," said 27-year-old Lin during a press conference on Sunday

Olympic title and three consecutive world crowns.

     "I know lots of people expected me to pick up the title. There was big pressure on me," said Lin, who

阅读理解。                                              Special Bridges Help Animals Cross the Road
                                                            --Reported by Sheila Carrick
     Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side.
     Most people know this joke. But recently, some people have been much more worried about how the
grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road.
     "Millions of animals die each year on U.S. roads," the Federal Highway Administration reports. In fact,
only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U.S. today. The main reason? Roadkill.
     "Ecopassages" may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths both over and
under roads. "These ecopassages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid road accidents," said
Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Protection Society.
     But do animals actually use the ecopassages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona
University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an ecopassage that went under a highway. This showed
that the lions used the passage.
     Builders of ecopassages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around
them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals as different as salamanders and grizzly bears are using the
bridges and underpasses.
     The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might see an
animals overpass! 1. The writer uses the example of "ocelots" to show that ______.A. wild animals have become more dangerous

B. animals are crossing the road in groups
C. animals are increasing in number
D. animals begin to learn to use ecopassages 4. The best title for the passage is _______. A. Special bridges help animals cross the road
