In Glacier National Park, which is in the Rocky Mountains of Montana, there once roamed a little deaf Indian boy. He loved to wander in the forest, and made friends with the animals who lived there. Since he loved animals, he would observe them intently and learn their habits. This little Indian boy's name was John Lewis Clarke.
John Lewis Clarke's grandfather was a graduate from West Point and a captain in the U. S. Army. He was married to the daughter of a Blackfoot Indian Chief and adopted by the tribe. His son, John Lewis Clarke's father, also married an Indian princess, the daughter of Chief Stands Alone. Sadly, John's grandfather was later killed by Indians of another tribe near Helena, Montana.
John Lewis Clarke was not born deaf. He became ill at a young age with scarlet fever. Though he survived, he could no longer hear the sounds that the forest animals made. He could not hear his Indian friends when they called to him. Scarlet fever had caused him to lose his hearing. His Indian friends gave him the name Cutapuis (Cu-ta-pu-ee) which means, “man who talks not.”
Because John could not talk, he could not tell his parents about his many animal friends in the forest and the exciting things that he saw, but he found another way to express himself. He made figures of them out of clay(粘土) from the river banks. Later, when he was older, he learned to carve things out of wood. He loved to carve animals. With an axe and a pocket knife, he carved a life-sized image of a bear from a cedar trunk. The bear looked so real, the only thing missing was its growl.
When John was old enough to go to school, his parents sent him to the Fort Shaw Indian School. However, since he needed special education, he was transferred to a school for the deaf at Boulder, Montana. He also attended the School for the Deaf at Devil's Lake, North Dakota. When he was older, he enrolled at St. Francis Academy in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he studied wood carving. While he was still in his teens, John returned to Montana and opened a studio. He began to carve all the animals he had known very well in his childhood, and offer them for sale. He made models of animals out of wood, clay, and stone. He painted pictures using water colors and oils, and did excellent pen and ink drawings. He began to make a name for himself as an artist.
John spent most of his 89 years at his home studio in Glacier Park. Every year when the park season was over, he continued his work in Great Falls, Montana, his second home. Many important people bought John's work. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., the famous multimillionaire, was one of them. John's work was on exhibit in many places in this country. John died on November 20,1970. In his life-time, he literally carved his way to fame.
1.John probably started to use American Sign Language as soon as ________.
[ ]
A.he became deaf
B.he entered a school for the deaf

2.The subject of his artwork was mostly animals. This is most likely because ________.
[ ]
A.the environment he grew up has influenced him

C.it was his way of expressing ideas

[ ]
A.John forgot to add one more thing
B.the bear was missing
C.the bear missed growling
D.the bear looked perfect except that it could not make any sound
4.During the course of his education, John attended ________.

London—“Everyone else has one!” Lucy declared to her parents, trying to get a mobile phone as a gift for her 14th birthday. Her parents gave in.
Curious to know how her daughter would use the phone, Jane Bidder, the mother, followed Lucy to the school bus in the morning. The bus seats 20, of whom half have a mobile phone. One rings and several adolescent(青少年)owners fumble(摸索)with their bags.
Many parents have just come to realize that the mobile phone is no longer only for traveling business-men—it is as likely to be found in school bags.
The mobile phone seems to have become something essential for today's teens in Britain, according to a survey(調(diào)查)published last week, by NOP, a leading market research company in Britain. Research found that 66 percent of 16-year-old kids now have access to a mobile phone.
The mobile phone has been turned into a secret messaging service by teen users. They are talking on the mobile and their parents are not able to eavesdrop on the second line.
The interview with 2 019 young people aged 7 to 16 found that they favor the text messaging services because they offer a secret way of keeping in touch. The days of secret notes in the classroom are dying out.
For example, “cu” means “see you”; “l(fā)ol”means “l(fā)augh out loud”;and “2nite” is an abbreviation(縮略語)of “tonight”. All these are based on shorthand phrases used on the Internet.
Many schools have banned(禁止)students using mobile phones.
Scientists believe children are especially vulnerable(易受傷害的)to the mobile radiation(放射線).
1. The story of Lucy is told to show us .
A. British parents meet their children’s needs whatever they are
B. British kids have good relationships with their parents
C. how British parents accept the truth of teenagers owning a mobile phone
D. why every child gets a mobile phone as a birthday present in UK
2. What would be the best title for this news story?
A. School Bans Mobile Phones
B. Parents’ Curiosity about Children Using Mobiles
C. Mobile Popularity among UK Teens
D. Secret Messages Popular among Kids in UK
3. The underlined word “eavesdrop” means .
A. join in activity B. interrupt rudely
C. watch carefully D. listen secretly
4. Interviews discover children like sending messages instead of .
A. calling each other B. writing to each other
C. playing games on line D. greeting each other

The Antarctic Icecap is the largest supply of fresh water,representing nearly 2%of the world’s total of fresh and salt water. As can be seen from the table below, the amount of water in our atmosphere is over 10 times as much as the water in all the rivers taken together. The fresh water actually available for human use in lakes and rivers and the accessible ground water amount to only about one-third of 1%of the world’s total water supply.
