     Barditch High School decided to an All-School Reunion. Over 450 people came to the event. There
were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former teachers were
on ands to tell stories about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for fifty years, was
wheeled to the Park.
     Some eyes rolled and there were a few low groans(嘟囔聲)when Ms.Yates was about to speak.
Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing
to listen to a lecture from and old woman who had few kind words for her students and made them work
harder than all the other teachers combined.
     Then Ms. Yates started to speak:
     "I can't tell you how pleased I am to be here. I haven't seen many of you since your graduation, but
I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies. I have a
large collection of newspaper photographs of my students. Although I haven't appeared in person, I
have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the birth your children, in my imagination."
     Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued:
"It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and
others would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives, I can see that you have all been
successful in you chosen path."
     "There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work.
You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all
from the bottom of my heart."
     There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping. Tee
clapping turned into cheering, then into a deafening roar(呼喊). Lawyers, truck drivers, bankers and
models were rubbing their eyes or crying openly with no shame all because of the words from a long
forgotten English teacher from their hometown.

     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 (蝗蟲(chóng)) 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 Senegal's worst affected area .
    This is West Africa's 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 (威脅) Sudan in the
northeast of Africa. Some say it could reach Asia. Experts say the harmful effect on crops in areas already
suf-fering from food shortage and war could cause many people to go hungry. Governments in the areas are
not well equipped to fight the pest.
     Although leaders of 12 countries have agreed on a plan, it is not expected to be enough.
     "We are now treating 6,000 hectares (公頃) per day with pesticide (殺蟲(chóng)劑 ), 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 UN's Food
and Agricul-ture Organization warned.
1. By using " dark cloud" to describe locusts in the first para-graph, the author of the article ________.
A. showed the size and speed of the mass of locusts
B. suggested the great damage that locusts can cause
C. warned that locusts would sweep the continent like rain clouds
D. both A and B
2. The story is mainly about ______.
A. West Africa's united effort in fighting a disaster
B. the difficulty in controlling locusts
C. how locusts caused great damage to West Africa
D. a struggle to fight against a disaster brought by locusts in West Africa
3. The locust disaster ______.
A. would be even more serious in Asia
B. is (was)out of control
C. affected only the warning areas
D. can not be stopped unless twice as much pesticide is provided for the affected areas
4. Which of the following is WRONG ?
A. Sud-Fm offered a reward for fighting locusts so that more people would join in the effort.
B. Senegal is to the southwest of Sudan.
C. The locusts can cause such damage mainly because it has no natural enemy in West Africa.
D. 12 countries affected by locusts have united but still lack pesticide.
