While I was on a trip to Papua New Guinea to take underwater photographs, I asked a local dive guide to help me find a pygmy sea horse(侏儒海马). I wanted to take a picture of it. These sea horses can be red or yellow-and-orange. The red pygmy sea horse lives on only one type of coral, a red sea fan that grows at depths below ninety feet.
This depth made the job even tougher. As the pressure on my body increased, I had to breathe harder, which used my air supply faster. So the deeper I dived, the shorter my time underwater.
I had a lot to do. First, I had to find the pygmy sea horse’s special type of fan .Then I had to look over the whole fan with my magnifying glass(放大镜) to see if a sea horse lived on it. If not, I had to find another fan—all the while keeping an eye on my oxygen supply. The second fan rewarded me with a find. The dive guide held the magnifying glass so I could have my first look at the tiny fish.
My next challenge was to focus my camera on such a small subject. The dive guide pointed at the tiny creature. I looked through the viewfinder(取景物) on my large underwater camera housing(相架), found the guide’s finger, and followed it to the sea horse.
It was hard to hold ourselves steady because both of us were floating in mid-water, but our system worked. I could hardly contain my excitement as I focused on the eyes of the cutest sea horse imaginable.
小题1:What do we learn about the red pygmy sea horse?| A．It lives on red sea fans only. | B．It swims very quickly. | | C．It lives nine feet deep. | D．It usually floats in mid-water. |
小题2:From Paragraph 3 we learn .| A．how the author swam under water | B．how the author found a sea horse | | C．why the author dived with a guide | D．why the author used a magnifying glass |
小题3:While the author was taking pictures of the sea horse, .| A．she felt extremely nervous | B．her camera didn’t work well | | C．the guide helped focus the camera | D．the sea horse was swimming away |
小题4:Why did the author write the passage?| A．To study the natural habitat of sea animals. | | B．To explain why sea horses are endangered. | | C．To tell us how to be an underwater photographer. | | D．To show us how she took pictures of a sea horse. |

Researchers questioned nearly 9,800 people over the age of 50 about their lives and found women were happier than men and enjoy life more in old age.
Dr Elizabeth Breeze, one of the researchers, said that women could become happier as they get older as they no longer have to worry about looking after their families.
She said:“There is a difference between the way men and women view their quality of life and they are influenced by slightly different things. Women are affected negatively by caring for someone else or if they are not in employment but if they see their children and family more they are positively affected.”
“A strange thing happens to male actors, especially movie stars, in my experience,” said Helen Mirren, a 62-year-old Hollywood actress.“A young male actor feels that all the girls want him-he’s a star. As actors get older they bad-tempered for they have lost that sense of being in control of their destiny(命运).”
Wealth also helps you live longer with the poorest people more than twice as likely to die earlier than the richest, researchers at University College London discovered. In some age groups. the difference was even greater. The poorest women between 60 and 74 are six times more likely to have died than the richest women of the same age.
According to the study, you have more chances of living longer if you are married, educated to certain degree or a professional. single people are twice as likely to die early as those who are married or living with a partner.

小题2:What can we know from the passage？| A．Men should not worry about looking after their family any more in old age | | B．Male actors, especially movie stars are easy to get bad—tempered when they get older and older. | | C．The poorest women about the age of 50 can’t live longer than the richest women at the same age. | | D．Education has nothing to do with happy life in people’s old age. |
小题3:What may be talked about if there is another paragraph as the ending ?| A．Things that the old should do to be happier. | | B．The disadvantage of being actors. | | C．We should earn money as much as we can. | | D．How to become a professional. |

My first job was at a local restaurant, where I worked for seven years . Being a waitress changed my 1 . I tried my best to do what I loved--- 2 People. I always made everyone , customers and coworkers, 3 good.

Who says constant texting is just a bad habit? The teenager with the fastest thumbs in the country was crowned on Wednesday at the LG US National Texting Championship in New York City, winning ＄50,000 after a series of fierce texting battles.
16-year-old Austin Wiershke comes from Rhinelander, Wisconsin of the United States. He took home the top prize at the fifth annual texting event, beating 11 other competitors in the final, including last year’s champion Brianna Hendrickson from Brooklyn, New York.
Wiershke, who was wearing a gray shirt and having Justin Bieber’s hairstyle, sailed through each level of the competition by typing passages of text on a QWERTY keyboard rapidly without any mistaken. One special round even included being blindfolded(蒙眼) on the state to make up phrases by memory.
“I’m extremely nervous,” Wiershke said while waiting for the results after the final round. “I’m getting ready to hear Brianna’s name. When I heard my name was announced, I really couldn’t believe my ears.” After the announcement was made, confetti(五彩纸屑) dropped from the ceiling and Wiershke was met on the stage by the singer who said that she liked texting very much. She was Ashley Tisdale, a famous and beautiful singer, who awarded him his check.
In August, a film on Music Television called “Thumbs” took a behind-the –scenes look at the teenager’s life. It shows how he practiced texting to be the fastest. The film followed a series of young texting competitors, including Brianna Hendrickson, in the weeks leading up to this year’s LG US National Texting Championship. Besides showing the always –connected lifestyle of these teenagers nationwide, the mover also shows the studies, sports , dreams and friendships among these competitors.

Zoos divide opinion ： there are those who think it is cruel to keep animals locked up while others believe zoos are essential for the survival of endangered species.
To argue that zoos imprison animals is to misunderstand what zoos are about. Without zoos many of the creatures we love and admire would no longer exist. Every single day，over one hundred animal species vanish. Scientists predict that as early as 2050 one quarter of the Earth’s species will become extinct.
Some animals are in danger because they are hunted. Alarmingly, the population of tigers has already fallen by ninety-five percent. Other species are in danger because of a lack of food. For example, there are fewer than 1300 giant pandas left in the wild.
Zoos have special breeding programmes to help those animals at risk. These breeding programmes are proving extremely successful. As Irene Shapiro from Zoo and Wildlife Support says, “the Puerto Rican Parrot has grown in numbers from just thirteen to about eighty-five and the Golden Lion Tamarin Monkey, which has almost ceased to exist twenty years ago, has been reintroduced back into the wild. ”
Unfortunately, not everyone understands this important role zoos play. For example, Brian Featherstone from the Anti-Zoo Forum says, “I can’t believe we take animals from the wild and put them in cages for the entertainment of the public! We should view them on film or TV in their natural environment.，’
However, this misses the point. A zoo does more than display animals to the public. It ensures their survival. Without zoos you would not be able to see many of these animals on TV or anywhere else!
小题1:What’s the writer’s attitude towards zoos?| A．He shows no opinion either for or against them. | | B．He thinks that they are unnecessary and cruel. | | C．He believes they play an important environmental role. | | D．He expresses a desire that more of them be built. |
小题2:The underlined word “vanish” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _____.| A．remain | B．disappear | C．become rarer | D．get killed |
小题3:According to the passage the world’s tiger population _____.| A．will rise by 5% next year | B．is relatively stable | | C．is 95% smaller than in the past | D．has fallen to 95% |
小题4:According to the passage some people do not agree with zoos because they _____| A．are too expensive to run | B．put animals in danger | | C．do not provide enough food | D．keep animals locked up |
小题5:According to the writer ，the most important function of the zoo is to _____.| A．make a lot of money | B．entertain visitors | | C．ensure animals’ survival | D．educate the public |
