Parts of Africa are covered by a dark cloud. But this is no rain cloud. It is a living cloud made of billions of locusts （蝗虫） that are traveling across the continent eating everything in their path.

And now in the battle to stop this disaster， a radio station in Senegal， West Africa， is offering listeners 50 kilograms of rice if they can catch and kill 50 kilograms of locusts. “We think this idea will get more people to take part in the war on the locusts，” said Abdoulaye Ba， from Sud-Fm， a radio station in one of Senegals worst affected area.

This is West Africas biggest locust disaster in 15 years， and it is moving east， causing huge damage to crops. As they move， they produce young and increase their number and will soon threaten Sudan in the northeast of Africa. Some say it could reach Asia.

Experts say the harmful effect on crops in areas already suffering from food shortage and war could cause many people to go hungry. Governments in the areas are not well equipped to fight the locusts.

Although leaders of 12 countries have agreed on a plan， it is not expected to be enough. “We are now treating 6，000 hectares （公顷） per day with pesticide （杀虫剂）， but we need to treat 20，000 hectares per day in order to have any hope of controlling this disaster，” said Mohamed Abdallahi Ould Babah， director of locust control in Mauritania.

Requests are being made for international aid， which is the only way to limit the disaster， the UNs Food and Agriculture Organization warned.

D. would be even more serious in Asia

4. Whats the passage mainly about？

A typical lion tamer （馴兽师） in peoples mind is an entertainer holding a whip （鞭） and a chair. The whip gets all of the attention， but its mostly for show. In reality， its the chair that does the important work. When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lions face， the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time. With its focus divided， the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next. When faced with so many options （选择）， the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.

How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion？ How often do you have something you want to achieve—only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress？

This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best， the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information. The end result is that we feel like we cant focus or that were focused on the wrong things， and so we take less action， make less progress， and stay the same when we could be improving.

It doesnt have to be that way. Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face， remember this： All you need to do is focus on one thing. You just need to get started. Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people.

5. Why does the lion tamer use a chair？

A. To trick the lion. B. To show off his skills.

C. To get ready for a fight. D. To entertain the audience.

6. In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair？

A. They feel puzzled over choices.

B. They hold on to the wrong things.

C. They find it hard to make changes.

D. They have to do something for show.

7. What does the author feel about the experts mentioned in

Paragraph 3？

A. Worried. B. Doubtful.

C. Respectful. D. Supportive.

8. When you find the world “waving a chair in your face”， youre advised to .

A. wait for a better chance B. ask for clear guidance

C. break your old habits D. take action quickly

Bad news sells. If it bleeds， it leads. No news is good news， and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored in different ways， researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking peoples e-mails and online posts， scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.

“The ‘if it bleeds rule works for mass media，” says Jonah Berger， a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and dont care how youre feeling. But when you share a story with your friends， you care a lot more how they react. You dont want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”

Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails， Web posts and reviews， face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative， but that didnt necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things？ To test for that possibility， Dr Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories： thousands of articles on The New York Times website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.

Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny， but not articles that left them merely sad. They preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article， the more likely it was to be shared， as Dr Berger explains in his new book， Contagious： Why Things Catch On.

1. What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to？

A. News reports. B. Research papers.

C. Private e-mails. D. Daily conversations.

2. What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer？

A. Theyre socially inactive.

B. Theyre good at telling stories.

C. Theyre inconsiderate of others.

D. Theyre careful with their words.

3. Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr Bergers research？

A. Sports news. B. Science articles.

C. Personal accounts. D. Financial reviews.

4. What can be a suitable title for the text？

A. Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide

B. Online News Attracts More People

C. Reading Habits Change with the Times

D. Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks

More and more people have been reported to be attacked by sharks in Hawaii specifically in Maui. Researchers from the Land and Natural Resources Department of Hawaii carried out a study to find out the reason behind the alarming increase of these incidents and came up with various explanations.

In order to keep track and record the data on the behavior and activities of sharks living around Oahu and Maui islands and open seas， some tiger sharks were tagged （貼标签于） and monitored. Tech Times reported that Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology （HIMB） headed by Charles Meyer found a trend on the locations where sharks prefer to stay. They found that these sharks preferred waters rich in coral reefs （珊瑚礁） filled with foods for them.

Another contributing factor to higher visibility of sharks on waters usually visited by humans is the global warming. Since temperature on the sea floor increased faster than the previous years， sharks tend to find and stay in places where humans also find comfortable.

Humans may also be to blame for the rise in shark attack incident increase， as people tend to stay longer in the ocean nowadays. Man also engages in a lot of activities in the ocean， such as swimming， spear fishing， surfing and kayaking.

Avoiding swimming in waters and near dead animals is the simplest significant ways on how man can protect himself from the sharks. HIMB advised ocean lovers not to think of fear when thinking about sharks but instead think of ways on how to protect themselves. Swimming in the ocean is swimming in a wilderness environment. Sharks are part of this environment. We have to accept that theyre there and take measures to avoid encounters （相遇）， which are going to occur from time to time.

5. Why did the researchers carry out a study？

A. To give people serious information.

B. To report people were attacked by sharks.

C. To warn people not to get close to sharks.

D. To provide the public reasonable explanations.

6. What did Charles Meyer find about tiger sharks？

A. They live on Oahu and Maui islands.

B. It is not easy to tag and monitor them.

C. There are so many locations for them.

D. They love to stay where coral reefs are rich.

7. Which is the reason for sharks to attack humans？

A. Climate change has a great influence on them.

B. Sharks can hardly find food in deep water.

C. Humans have damaged their living place.

D. Sharks are annoyed with the swimmers.

8. Where can we probably read the passage？

A. In a travel magazine. B. In a story book.

C. In a newspaper. D. In a guide book.

On Nov. 24， near Yellowstones northeast entrance （入口）， Spitfire， a female grey wolf， was shot and killed by a hunter as she approached a group of small houses.

“It was a legal harvest，” Abby Nelson， a wolf management specialist said. “The circumstances are obviously a little bit harder for people to stomach， but that pack has showed signs of habituation （习惯）. They just stand there and have no fear. Wolf hunters can easily pick the one they want.”

The carefree relation that some Yellowstone wolves have built with humans is reportedly attractive for hunters who look for an easy kill.

In the overnight， yet another famous Yellowstone wolf meeting a violent end outside the park， officials are actively rethinking how to manage wildlife habituation.

Smith， a wolf biologist for Yellowstone， says， “Now were thinking of pounding them.” Park officials might use fireworks， and paintball or beanbag guns when they approach humans in the park. “If they get close to people， theyre going to get attacked.”

If you think this sounds cruel， youre not alone. Seeing these creatures from the roads that wind through the park not only allows tourists to witness something amazing， but also to reconnect with nature in a way that is better than any conservation campaign. But theres also a growing sense that the present policy of doing nothing isnt working： more wolves will needlessly die and the broken record of hunters scoring easy kills will go on.

As Smith adds， calling for people to keep wolves wild when meeting them halfway is always hard. Still， hes hopeful to preserve the worlds best place to observe free-ranging wolves： its a policy change that tourists can be involved in.

“...perhaps Spitfires death will accomplish some good， and well all come together to do a better job on managing crowds and roads and wolves in Yellowstone， ” Smith said.

1. What was the main cause of the death of Spitfire？

A. Wildlife habituation. B. Park officials carelessness.

C. The nature of grey wolves. D. The cruelty of the hunter.

2. What does the underlined word “pounding” in Paragraph 5 probably mean？

A. Greeting. B. Protecting.

C. Challenging. D. Hitting.

3. What does Smith expect visitors to do in Yellowstone？

A. Force wolves away from them.

B. Be more friendly to wolves.

C. Avoid meeting grey wolves.

D. Keep away from wolves.

4. What does the text mainly tell us？

A. The wolves in Yellowstone are out of control.

B. Illegal wolf-hunting in Yellowstone is going on.

C. Yellowstone considers “attacking” wolves to protect them.

D. The wolves in Yellowstone are getting on well with humans.

Most of us lead a busy life. 1 We think， “If I reached my goal， then I would be happy.” or “If I could get a better job， then I would enjoy life.” But why not enjoy life right now？

Firstly， take time to notice and appreciate the beauty in your own surroundings. 2 There is a great big world of wonder and beauty around us！ And as Brodersen explains， “Look for the beauty of the sunrise and of a friends smile that brightens your day. Open your eyes to see the beauty you might not normally see. Doing so helps to cheer you up.”

Secondly， taking time to experience some simple pleasures also can bring joy to your heart and reduce your stress. 3 I delight in simple things like my favorite tea drink， a bubble bath or family photos. One universal simple pleasure is finding things that make you laugh. Make time to laugh every day.

Thirdly， dont take your family and friends for granted. Rich， rewarding relationships add greatly to the enjoyment of life. When you think of someone， why not call， e-mail or write to them？ 4 As Wayne Lawton explains， “Invest （投入） time in relationships. Remove the attitude， whats in it for me？ Happiness is found in putting others interests， desires and concerns ahead of our own whenever possible. Selfishness （自私） is a dead-end street.” 5

A.Take me for example.

B. Find the beauty in nature.

C. So please treasure relationship.

D. You dont need to travel far to find beauty.

E. I enjoy collecting stamps and reading novels.
