A group of people asked this question to a group 4-to-8-year-old children. “What does love mean?” The answers were surprising. The children would answer like they did below.

“When my grandmother hurt her knees (膝蓋), she couldn’t bent (彎腰) over and paint her toenails (腳指甲) any more. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands hurt too. That’s love.”

Rebecca–age 8

“Love is when someone hurts you. And you get so mad but you don’t shout at them because you know it would hurt her feelings.”

Samantha–age 6

“Love is what makes you smile when you’re tired.”

Terri–age 4

“I let my big sister pick on (捉弄) me because my mum says she only picks on me because she loves me. So I pick on my baby sister because I love her.”

Bethany–age 4

“I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new clothes.”

Lauren–age 4

“Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.”

Elaine–age 5

“My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don’t see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.”

Clear–age 5

“You really shouldn’t say ‘I love you’ unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.”

Jessica–age 8

Donna Ashlock, a 14-year-old girl from California, was very sick. She had a bad heart. “Donna needs a new heart,” her doctor said, “she must have a new heart, or she will die soon.”

Felipe Carza, 15, was worried about Donna. Felipe was Donna’s friend. He liked Donna very much. He liked her freckles, and he liked her smile. Felipe didn’t want Donna to die.

Felipe talked to his mother about Donna. “I am going to die,” Felipe told his mother, “and I am going to give my heat to Donna.”

Felipe’s mother didn’t pay much attention to Felipe. “Felipe is just kidding,” she thought, “Felipe is not going to die. He’s strong and healthy.”

But Felipe was not healthy. He had terrible headaches sometimes. “my head hurts,” he often told his friends. Felipe never told his parents about his headaches.

One morning Felipe woke up with a sharp pain in his head. He was dizzy (眩暈的), and he couldn’t breathe. His parents rushed Felipe to the hospital. Doctors at the hospital had terrible news for them. “Felipe’ s brain is dead,” the doctors said, “we can’t save him.”

The operation was a success. Felipe’s heart was beating in Donna’s chest, but Donna didn’t know it. Her parents and doctors didn’t tell her. They waited until she was stronger; then they told her about Felipe. “I feel very sad,” Donna said, “but I am thankful to Felipe.”

Three months later the operation Donna went back to school. She has to have regular checkups, and she has to take medicine every day. But she is living a normal life.

A photo of a boy who arrived at school with a

head full of icicles(冰柱）has drawn widespread

attention to children from poor rural families.

Some scientists say that animals in the ocean are

increasingly threatened(威脅) by noise pollution caused by

human beings. The noise that influences sea animals comes

from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by

industrial underwater explosions(爆炸) , ocean drilling, and

ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds.

These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater

earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves.

Decibels (分貝) measured in water are different from those measured on land. A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety five would have the same effect（效果）.

Some scientists have proposed setting a noise limit （限度）of one hundred and twenty decibels in oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales（鯨魚）.

A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals. The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales' ability to exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died. The explosions had caused their ears to bleed.

Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds object to a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research. Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. However, many scientists suspect that noise is a greater danger than they believed. It’s time for them to take action to help ocean animals.

1.Which of the following is not caused by human beings?

A. The noise of industrial underwater explosions.

B. The noise of ocean drilling.

C. The sound of underwater earthquakes

D. The noise of ship engines.

2.What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?

A. The same noise measures differently on land and in the ocean.

B. Different places may have different types of noises.

C. The noises can cause humans to lose hearing.

D. There are different kinds of natural sounds in the ocean.

3.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Powerful underwater explosions aren’t harmful to whales’ ears.

B. Many researchers are against the noise limit of 120 decibels.

C. Noises cannot cause whales’ death.

D. The noise limit of 120 decibels would hardly influence the industrial research.

4.According to the passage, we can infer that scientists will probably .

A. work hard to cut down natural sounds.

B. stop industrial and scientific research in oceans.

C. try their best to make no noise.

D. protect ocean animals from harmful noises.

[1] I’m a 34-year-old man, married, lived in a nice house, and have a successful career. But my life was not always so great. I had a learning disability from an early age. I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra (額外的) help. Still, I suffered the rest of my school days in public schools.

[2] My life improved greatly when I discovered art. The art world gave me a chance to express myself without words. I went to a workshop and gradually became good at making things with clay. Here I learned my first important lesson: disabled as I was in language, I could still be smart and well express myself with clay. And my confidence（自信）came along.

[3] I got my next lesson from rock climbing. It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start. （68）I soon noticed it wasn’t a talent thing; it needed lots of practice. So I did it more. After about five years of climbing, I found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall. I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time, you will get better at it.

[4] Later I decided to learn (69) ① to read and write. I practiced reading and(69)② , which I used to avoid as much as possible. After two years, I was literate(有文化的).

[5] Through the long process with art, (69) ③ , and reading and writing, now I’ve got to a point in my life: I am smart enough to dive into (潛入) an area that is totally unknown, hard, but interesting.
