People in southern China like famous and expensive dish—shark fin soup, but no scientific studies have shown that shark fins are good for health. So why do they eat them? Do they realize that they’re killing a whole shark each time they enjoy a bowl of shark fin soup?
When people catch sharks, they cut off their fins and throw the shark back into the ocean. This is not only cruel, but also harmful to the environment. Without a fin, a shark can no longer swim and slowly dies. Sharks are at the top of the food chain in the ocean’s ecosystem. If their numbers drop too low, it will bring danger to all ocean life. In fact, around 70 million sharks are caught and traded in this industry every year. The numbers of some kinds of sharks have fallen by over 90 percent in the last 20 to 30 years. Help save the sharks!Shark fin soup is popular in northern China.

The man behind came near. Charlie could hear the man jump over the grass. Thoughts of thieves and robbers filled his mind. Charlie stood up and faced the man. "What do you want? Why are you coming after me?" He asked.
"I say," the stranger asked, "do you always go home like this, or are you taking some special exercise tonight? I want to go to Mr. Green's and don't know the way.

I think the Buddy Club is great. I really enjoy talking with the older students about school life and growing up. They can tell me a lot. One student told me how he relaxed (放松) before exams. Another student told me about great websites about learning History and English.
The Buddy Club is also a good place to just forget about school altogether! One of the older students taught us origami (日本折纸). We made paper planes, birds and hats together.
The table tennis tournament（锦标赛) was a great idea. I didn’t do very well, but I learnt a lot from watching the doubles tournament won by a fourteen-year-old girl and a seventeen-year-old boy.
Last year, we had the annual (每年的) Buddy Club Picnic. Everyone enjoyed the games we played. After I learnt how to fish, I caught two fish in the lake. I think it might be a good idea to change the Buddy Club Picnic to a weekend camping trip. We could learn how to put up (架起) tents (帐篷) and how to find our way through a forest. Many of the older students know how to do this already, and I think they would like to teach the younger students.
I want to say again how much I enjoy the club. When I’m older, I will make friends with younger students. Then, I can tell them all about school life and growing up.What does the writer enjoy doing at the club?
| A．Learning Japanese. | B．Talking to older students. |
| C．Losing at table tennis. | D．Surfing the Internet. |
What websites did the writer learn about?
| A．Paper planes. | B．Origami. |
| C．History and English. | D．Relaxing. |
Did the writer win the table tennis tournament?
| A．No, and he was very unhappy. |
| B．No, but came second. |
| C．Yes, he won the doubles. |
| D．No, but he enjoyed watching it. |
How does the writer want to change the picnic?
| A．He wants more fish to be caught. |
| B．He wants to make it shorter. |
| C．he wants to have it in a tent. |
| D．He wants to change it to a camping trip. |
What does the writer want to learn?
| A．How to put up a tent and make a fire. |
| B．How to put up a tent and find his way through a forest. |
| C．How to make clean water and find his way through a forest. |
| D．How to find his way through a forest and climb a mountain. |
