A wild baby bison （野牛） at Yellowstone National Park had to be killed because of tourists．
The tourists thought that the baby bison looked cold．They put it in their car and drove to a park ranger （管理员） station．
A ranger described the action of the tourists as a"dangerous move"because adult bisons can look after their babies very well and they will attack （攻击） to protect their young．
Park rangers took the animal from the car and set it free．But，sadly，the baby was refused by its family because it had the smell from humans．
Yellowstone National Park explained on Facebook that the smell from people can cause parent animals to refuse to accept their young．The park tried again and again to make the baby bison lives with its parents．After several times they had to give up．
Many people expressed anger at both the tourists and the park．
The park said that they did not have the ability to care for a young bison．They also said that it is"not the task of the park to save animals"．
The tourists were fined （罚款） ＄110 for touching park wildlife．Park rules say that visitors to Yellowstone should stay at least 22 meters away from all wildlife，and at least 90 meters away from bears and wolves．

I have known Ting for a long time. She was a friend of mine in high school. Ting used to see me as her best friend in my class because, as she said , it was easy to be friends with me . Therefore ,when we had time in school,she often came to me and we would talk about many things. Though I didn’t have special feelings about this friend, I was fine with this because I didn’t see the reason why I should say “no” to a friend I didn’t hate.
But there was a while when she came to me, and usually said nothing meaningful. I started to feel tired and then tried not to meet her. After that she never came to me. Though guilty, I started to feel free about my life and never thought of anything about her feeling.
After a month or two, I heard from other friends that Ting’s father had passed away six months before. I was so shocked! Then I suddenly realized why Ting had often come to me but said nothing special. She needed my company (陪伴). I felt so bad about myself that I went to find her the next day. But I only found that she had moved away to another place.
At that time, I found myself so selfish that I only thought of myself but didn’t even try to ask a friend what happened in her life.“I was fine with this because ….” What does “this” mean here?

Though the ways of teaching have come a long way, the ways of communicating between teachers and students are almost the same. But now, a European country is trying to change that by building schools that have no classrooms, no subject lessons and best of all, no grades.
The idea behind the special school is that children are creative. And researchers also think that kids’ learning and ideas are as important as those of the CEO of Google, so why not give them a similar environment? Kids may be successful in such an environment.
To make kids more creative, the schools are built with special learning areas instead of traditional classrooms. And even the lessons are taught in a special way, with mobile phones and computers.
There is no “right” or “wrong” kind of education. The school believes that everything is a learning experience, whether it is about a serious science project or making a movie inside the school’s recording studio.
One of the special schools opened in August, 2011. It has five learning areas. The Cave is a secluded place where students fix their attention on individual (个人的) projects without being bothered (打扰). The Lab is a place where students can do all kinds of experiments and test their ideas. Kids can work in groups in the same projects in The Camp Fire. The Show Off is where kids can show their inventions. And if the kids need a rest, they can visit The Watering Hole, which has all kinds of fun activities.
Sounds great? And the coolest thing is that the school is free! I hope more schools like this will appear in the world!What is the idea behind the special school?
| A．The children are creative. |
| B．All the students need to be taught. |
| C．All the students must be successful. |
| D．All the students must have high grades. |
From the passage we can infer (推断) that in the special schools.
| A．students are bored | B．students are tired |
| C．students learn freely | D．students learn from their teachers |
“The Cave is a secluded place ….” The word “secluded” probably means “” in Chinese.
| A．清静的 | B．固定的 | C．吵闹的 | D．混合的 |
Paragraph 5 mainly tells us that .
| A．the school doesn’t have grades |
| B．the school has clever students |
| C．the school has five learning areas |
| D．the school doesn’t have classrooms |
Paul and I live in the same building. His room is on the sixth floor but mine is on the fifth. He’s very careless and sometimes he gets into trouble.
Last Friday afternoon the young man and his friends went to spend the weekend on a wild island. They could swim, fish, play the guitar and sleep in the quiet place at night. They enjoyed themselves there. On the third morning they decided to get back to the land. But their boat hit a rock and soon went down. With the villager’s help, they swam to the bank. Luckily none of them was hurt. They took a taxi and half an hour later they arrived at our town, but it was two in the night. The young man was hungry and thirsty. He wished to get home as soon as possible. Something was wrong with the lift, so he had to go up the stairs. He stopped by my door and brought out a key. Of course he could not open the door. Half an hour passed but he failed. He became angry and shouted, “I’ll cut you down with a knife!”
