Blue whales are the largest animals ever known to have existed on the planet, and they can grow to a length of 100 feet and weigh more than 330,000 pounds. But recently researchers have found that these whales are on the move and they have migrated from California waters to areas off Canada and Alaska for the first time since commercial whaling ended in 1965.

The researchers identified 15 blue whales that have appeared off the coast of British Columbia and the Gulf of Alaska since 1997. Four of these whales were recognized as ones that were once sighted off California shores, suggesting that the whales are returning to an old migration pattern between the coasts.

Before commercial whaling began in the early 1900s, blue whales were found widely throughout the North Pacific and California waters. But from the 1920s to the 1960s,whaling severely reduced the whale populations. Blue whales never recovered in the Northern Pacific, making sightings in this area rare. However, much larger groups of whales have been observed close to California since the 1970s.

The scientists had previously thought that the California population was separate from the population that had historically lived in North Pacific waters. But the current study shows that whales off the coast of British Columbia and the Gulf of Alaska are likely part of the California population.

To identify the blue whales, the researchers looked at photos of cetaceans taken in the North Pacific Ocean and compared them with a library of blue whale pictures taken along the West Cost of the United States and Southern Pacific. Up to now, the researchers are not quite sure why the whales are changing their migration patterns, but they suspect that the whales may be following their food moving farther north by the changes in ocean conditions.

1.According to the passage, blue whales are .

A. following a fixed route of migration

B. dying out due to commercial whaling

C. moving from the south to the north

D. rarely found in the Southern Pacific

2.The whale population in the northern Pacific .

A. is different from the California population

B. is probably part of the California population

C. has become the largest group since the 1970s

D. has lived there since the 1960s

3.The underlined word "cetaceans" in Paragraph 5 probably means .

A. land creatures B. whale species

C. ocean conditions D. migration patterns

4.What might make blue whales migrate according to the researchers?

A. Commercial whaling. B. Weather conditions.

C. Life reproduction. D. Food resources.

We may have different opinion in organizing class activities. We may have various ways to dealing with such a situation. When I have a better idea, I would choose to stick to them. By doing so, I can not only share good ideas with others and also learn to express myself clear.

Once we were discussing why to go for an outing. Most of my classmates wanted to go to a park while I had an idea of going to a nice place. I manage to persuade my classmates into accepting my idea. We did have a good time on that day. Good opinions are worth sticking because they can benefit us all.

Summer Rain

The worst days of any summer are the rainy ones. We spend all year looking forward to nice weather and long, hot days. All of winter, with its cloudy days and bitter cold, we dream of those endless days at the beach, lying on the sand and enjoying the bright and burning sun. And then, summer comes, and it rains.

As a child, I would wake up to rainy summer days and come close to crying. It wasn’t fair. We suffered through months of school and experienced bad weather for those short ten weeks of freedom and pleasant weather.

On those rainy summer days, I had nothing fun to do and could only sit inside, staring out at the rain like a bird in a cage. I was an only child, so there was no one else to play with. My father worked from home, so I was not truly alone, but he could not actively play with me since he was at work. It was those days that I would watch whatever was on television or read any books that I could find lying around. I’d drag through the day and pray each night that the rain would not be there the next day.

As an adult, though, my opinion of summer rain has changed. When you have to work every day, summer is not as exciting. Everything seems dull. Such a mindset makes you cheer for anything new or different. I spend the winter dreaming of summer and the summer dreaming of winter. When summer comes, I hate how hot it is. And then I look forward to the rain, because the rain brings with it a cold front, which makes me comfortable. Rainy days are still the worst days of the summer, but summer rain today means positively beautiful — and considerably cooler — weather tomorrow.

1.When the author was a child, he ______.

A. preferred cooler weather

B. hated rainy days

C. liked staying indoors

D. dreamed on summer days

2.We can learn from the passage that the author ______.

A. was often left alone at home

B. preferred reading to playing outside

C. had no brothers or sisters

D. could enjoy the brilliant sun in winter

3.As an adult, the author views summer rain differently because ______.

A. he knows it won’t last long

B. his summer holiday is very short

C. he can better deal with his holiday

D. rain makes the weather cooler

Nobody likes having to deal with an upset child. If your little one is hurt, scared or sad, your heart breaks for her. If she’s mad, it can make you mad. You want to be there for her and comfort her, but the best way to do that will depend mainly on two things: why she’s upset and how old she is. Be calm and open-minded when trying to comfort your upset child.

Try to find out why your child is upset, because that affects how you should respond and what will be most effective in trying to comfort her. Take her aside and sit down to talk on her level, physically and emotionally. Be sure she knows she has your complete attention while she’s telling you about the friend who wouldn’t share her new toy and so on. Even if you’ve got 20 other things you need to get done, make yourself take a break and focus on her for a few minutes.

Listen carefully to what your child says, and also pay attention to what she’s not saying. If she says she’s upset because “she hates her stupid school”, you must “choose to accept it” — to read between the lines. Maybe she’s struggling with her studies, or the teacher scolded(責備) her in front of everybody. Patiently listen and try to draw her out so you know what kind of problem you’re dealing with.

Sometimes just knowing someone hears her pain goes a long way toward comforting an upset child. Don’t make excuses or blame others, just let her know her feelings are natural and understandable. Give her permission to feel sad for a little bit or even cry a little, and give her a big hug. Then help her think of ways to get over the hurt and refocus her attention on another activity or friend.

1.What is the purpose of the author in the passage?

A. To show an upset child is very tough.

B. To share his experience of keeping a child.

C. To tell how to comfort an upset child.

D. To get advice on how to raise a child.

2. When faced with an upset child, the parents________.

A. may feel at a loss(不知所措）what to do next

B. should turn to experts for advice

C. should keep him company all the time

D. will easily get angry and frustrated

3.When parents have a talk with their child patiently, she can .

A. focus her attention on the talk

B. understand her parents easily

C. talk about her new toy with you

D. open her heart to the parents

4.The underlined part in the passage means to________.

A. advise her to tell the reason

B. drive her out of home

C. take her to the outside

D. blame her
