Bears are found in Asia, Africa and America. They are very strong, with short tails and thick legs. Bears eat almost everything. They seem to enjoy meat, vegetables, fruit, milk and rice.
Bears are not quite dangerous as people imagine them to be. Like most animals, they will try to stay away from human beings. However, bears are not weak animals. Sometimes they kill hunters, for they can be very dangerous.
Bears have a good sense of smell but they have poor eyesight. They are also hard of hearing but they are very clever. They feed mainly on roots, frogs, fish and also small insects. They will sometimes kill deer and other large animals, but they seem to like small animals better.
In the cold area, bears hibernate, or go to sleep from October to April. Before they start to hibernate, they eat a lot and store fat. The mother bear has its babies, usually two, towards the end of hibernation. A large bear is much cleverer than a cat and most other animals. You may notice at the zoo how cleverly they ask for food. They sit up and hold out their paws. You would have to teach a dog such a trick but the bears learn this by themselves. Like most animals, bears try to_______.

If you are not happy with China’s high Internet fees (费用) and slow speed, you are not alone. So is Premier Li Keqiang. On April 14, he said in a meeting that the government should speed up the Internet and lower the fees.
“The first question people ask at a new place is ‘Is there WI-FI’ because Internet service fees are so high,” said Premier Li. According to a recent survey by CCTV, the average cost(平均费用) of 1GB mobile Internet data per month（每月） in China is 100 Yuan, while it is only 60 Yuan in the US and 40 in Japan.
However, high prices don’t necessarily mean good service. The average Internet speed in China was 4.25Mbps（兆比特每秒）in 2014. South Korea had the fastest average Internet speed-25.3 Mbps. People can download a 1 GB movie within 6 minutes in South Koreas, but in China it would take half an hour.
To improve Internet services, the key is to build more fiber(光纤) networks. Through them we can send text, pictures and videos globally（全球地） in less than a second（秒）, which offer high speed Internet. Besides, the lack of （缺少）market competition is another problem. Having more operators（运营商）besides China Unicom and China Telecom may lower the prices. Why do people always ask for WI-FI at a new place in China?
| A．Because they can’t use Internet without WI-FI. |
| B．Because they can communicate with their families. |
| C．Because they want to download movies. |
| D．Because Internet service fees are too high. |
In 2014, ____ had the fastest average Internet speed.
| A．China | B．USA | C．Japan | D．South Korea |
What is the key to improve Internet services?
| A．To increase Internet service fees. |
| B．To build more fiber networks. |
| C．To learn from South Korea. |
| D．To make the government know the situation. |

As a child, Alain Robert was afraid of high places. One day, when he was 12, he went back home from school. At the front door of his building, he looked for his keys. He didn’t have them. It was 3:30 and his parents worked until 6:00 pm. Alain looked at his apartment on the eighth floor. He saw an open window. He closed his eyes and imagined himself climbing the building. When he opened his eyes, he told himself, “I can do it.” Fifteen minutes later, he was in his house and his fear of high places was gone.
