Jon Hoffman was sitting at a red light when he saw a man run out of a store carrying a plastic donation jar full of cash. The Plano, Texas, detective# dressed in plain clothes but wearing his badge and gun, caught the man and pinned him to the hood of his car. But Hoffman had trouble containing the thief, and they got into a struggle.

“The detective has a martial (軍事的) arts background, and he said he thought the suspect must have a martial arts background, too, because he was able to break away so easily,” a Plano police spokesperson said.

The detective called out for help as a crowd gathered. Among those watching: Andre Harvey and Kirby Sample, two day laborers. Harvey did what has become common these days—he took out his phone and hit record. “I hate to say it, but I thought that this policeman was doing something stupid,” Harvey said. “But when he asked for help, I thought, well, there won’t be a shooting if I get over there in time.” Harvey jumped into action —while he was still recording the video—as did Sample.

“Harvey caught hold of the suspect’s arms, while Kirby seized his legs, and they were able to get the suspect to the ground to help Detective Hoffman put the handcuffs (手銬)on,” said the police spokesperson. The 27-year-old suspect was charged with resisting arrest and other offenses. The charity jar he stole held less than $ 50.

“I’ve been on the wrong side of the law several times in my life,” Harvey told WFAA. “It feels good to be on the right side and do something positive.”

After the arrest, the three men got to know each other over steaks and ribs at a local steak house — Hoffman’s treat, as a thank-you. But the rescuers say Hoffman deserves credit too. “It could have turned real ugly,” Sample told KFOR. com. “He handled himself like a real professional.”

1.What made Hoffman call for help when arresting the suspect?

A. He was not on duty. B. He couldn’t control the suspect.

C. He needed witnesses to support him. D. He wanted to push the thief into the car.

2.Why did Harvey and Kirby record the scene at the beginning?

A. To follow the fashion B. To record the cop’s violence.

C. To keep track of the criminal. D. To avoid being involved in the incident.

3.What can be inferred about Harvey?

A. He was ready to violate the law. B. He was out of work at that time.

C. He had a good martial arts background. D. He might have had some illegal conducts.

4.What is Harvey and Sample’s attitude towards Hoffman?

A. Appreciative. B. Prejudiced.

C. Skeptical. D. Admirable.

3．Population Change      Why is the world's population growing？The answer is not what you might think．The reason for the explosion is not that people have been reproducing like rabbits，but that people have stopped dropping dead like flies．In 1900，people died at the average age of 30．By 2000 the average age was 65．But while increasing health was a typical feature of the 20th century，declining birth rate could be a defining one of the 21st．
      Statistics show that the average number of births per woman has fallen from 4.9 in the early 1960s to 2.5 nowadays．Furthermore，around 50% of the world's population live in regions where the figure is now below the replacement level（i．e.2.1 births per woman）and almost all developed nations are experiencing sub-repalanement birth rate．You might think that developing nations would make up the loss（especially since 80% of the world's people now live in such nations），but you'd be wrong，Declining birth rate is a major problem in many developing regions too，which might cause catastrophic global shortages of work force within a few decades．
      A great decline in young work force is likely to occur in China，for instance．What does it imply？First，China needs to undergo rapid economic development before a population decline hits the country．Sencond，if other factors such as technology remain constant，economic growth and material expectations will fall well below recent standards and this could invite trouble．
      Russia is another country with population problems that could break its economic promise．Since 1992 the number of people dying has been bigger than that of those being born by a massive 50%，Indeed official figures suggest the country has shrunk by 5% since 1993 and people in Russia live a shorter life now than those in 1961．Why is this occurring？Nobody is quite sure，but poor diet an above all long-time alcoholism have much to do with it．If current trends don't bend．Russia's population will be about the size of Yemen's by the year 2050．
      In the north of india，the population is booming due to high birth rates，but in the south，where most econmoic development is taking place，birth rate is falling rapidly．In a further twist，birth rate is highest in poorly educated rural arceas an lowest in highly educated urban areas．In total，25% of India's working-age population has no education．In 2030，a sixth of the country's potential work force could be totally uneducated．
      One solution is obviously to import foreign workers via immigration．As for the USA，it is almost unique among developed nations in having a population that is expected to grow by 20% from 2010-2030，Moreover，the USA has a track record of successfully accepting immigrants．As a result it's likely to see a rise in the size of its working-age population and to witness strong economic growth over the longer term．

20．After years of heated debate，gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park．Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park．By last year，the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves．
    Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States，but they were gradually displaced by human development．By the 1920s，wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area．They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada，where there were fewer humans around．
   The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results．Deer and elk populations-major food sources （來源） for the wolf-grew rapidly．These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation （植被），which reduced plant diversity in the park．In the absence of wolves，coyote populations also grew quickly．The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park's red foxes，and completely drove away the park's beavers．
   As early as 1966，biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park．They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems．Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets．
    The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolvers．The U．S．Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone．Today，the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone．Elk，deer，and coyote populations are down，while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback．The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well．
28．What is the text mainly about？D
A．Wildlife research in the United States．
B．Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area．
C．The conflict between farmers and gray wolves．
D．The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park．
29．What does the underlined word"displaced"in paragraph 2 mean？C
A．Tested．B．Separated．C．Forced out．D．Tracked down．
30．What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about？A
A．Damage to local ecology．     B．A decline in the park's income．
C．Preservation of vegetation．  D．An increase in the variety of animals．
31．What is the author's attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project？B
A．Doubtful．B．Positive．C．Disapproving．D．Uncaring．
