The Pecan Thief
When I was six years old, I was visiting my grandfather’s
farm in Kansas. Grandpa had sent me into the  36  to gather
pecans for us to enjoy later.
Pecan picking was really  37  work and my little basket
was only half full. I wasn’t about to  38  Grandpa down. Just
then something caught my  39  . A large brown squirrel was
a few feet away. I watched as he picked up a pecan, hurried to a tree and   40  in a large hole in the trunk. A moment later the squirrel  41 out and climbed down to the ground to pick up another nut. Once again, he took the pecan back to his hiding place.
Not so  42  anymore, I thought. I dashed over to the tree and looked into the hole. It was   43  with pecans! Golden pecans were right there for taking. This was my  44 . Handful by handful, I scooped all of those pecans into my basket. Now it was full! I was so  45  of myself. I couldn’t wait to show Grandpa all the pecans.   46  , I ran back and shouted, “Look at all the pecans!” He looked into the basket and said, “Well, well, how did you find so many?” I told him how I’d   47  the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place.
Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I’d been in observing the squirrel and his habits. Then he did something that  48  me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently  49 my shoulders.
“That squirrel worked very hard to gather his winter  50  of food,” he said. “Now that all of his pecans are gone, don’t you think that little squirrel will  51  the cold winter? ”
“I didn’t think about that, ” I said.
“I know,” Grandpa said. “But a good man should never take  52  of someone else’s hard work.”
Suddenly I felt a bit  53  . The image of the starving squirrel wouldn’t   54  my mind. There was only one thing I could do. I carried the basket back to the tree and poured all the nuts into the hole.
I didn’t eat any pecans that night, but I had something much more filling—the  55  of knowing I had done just the right thing.

On February seventeenth, the Westland/Hallmark Meat Company of Chino, California, recalled almost sixty-five kilograms of beef. The government declared the products unfit for human food, Officials at the Department of Agriculture said the cattle did not receive complete and proper inspection.
The beef recall was the largest in American history. But the government rated the health risk as low. No cases of sickness have been reported.
The beef was produced over the last two years. Almost all of it went to federal programs to provide lunches for schoolchildren. Some also went to federal programs for Indian reservations and emergency food aid.
About half of the beef had already been used when the recall took place. The recall followed the public release of video secretly recorded by the Humane Society of the United States. The video showed workers at the Chino slaughterhouse (屠宰場) mistreating “downers”---- the name for sick or injured cows unable to stand.
The workers kicked them and shot water at their faces. They also used electric shocks and forklift trucks to force the animals to their feet. The Agricultural Department bans downer cattle from entering the food supply. The ban is part of measures to protect against the human version of mad cow disease.
Westland/ Hallmark is closed until investigations are completed, and its deals to supply federal programs are suspended. Local officials have brought animal cruelty charges against two employees. And lawmakers in Congress have ordered the head of the company to appear at a hearing this week, saying he refused an earlier invitation.
At the end of February, the Humane Society brought a lawsuit against the Agriculture Department over a change in its inspection rules. The group says the change made last year could make it easier for sick and injured cows to enter the food supply.
Officials defend the inspection process, but have also announced new measures, including inspections outside approved hours of operation.
When food recalls are announced, they often include the names of some of the stores that were supplied with the products. But under a new state law, California has published an online list of names, addresses and phone numbers of thousands of places affected by the beef recall. These include markets, restaurants, hotels and school systems.
68．What caused the recall of the beef?
A．The release of the video recorded secretly
B．The poor inspection to the beef industry
C．The illness caused by the beef.
D．The investigation of the Agriculture Department
69．Why did the Humane Department Society bring a lawsuit against the Agriculture Department?
A．The Agriculture Department failed to inspect the beef.
B．The Agriculture Department changed its inspection rules.
C．The changed inspection rules are not suitable for the beef industry.
D．The sick and injured cows are easy to enter the food supply.
70．Which of the following statements is true?
A．Half of the beef from the company proves to be poisonous.
B．The beef has made lots of people sick.
C．The employer of the company was accused of what his workers did to the cattle.
D．Almost all of the beef went to the lunches for school children.
71．What is the meaning of the underlined word “suspended” in Para 6?
A．held back       B．called off        C．put off                 D．slow down

The truth in other words
A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: “I am blind, please help.” There were only a few coins in the hat.
A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked: “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?”
The man said: “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.”
What he had written was : “Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it.”
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?
Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.             The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.
There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.
The first is : Be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less. Help where you can.
The second is: Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way!

D. he wanted to help the poor blind boy

B. the second sign made people see their health as a gift, which made them willing to help
C. the original sign pointed out a kind of suffering that people don’t care about at all
D. the second sign drew people’s attention to another problem the boy had
58. We can learn from the story that the man who rewrote the sign was        .
A. creative      B. patient       C. funny      D. curious

C. creative thinking may bring us better results
D. being kind and respectful will encourage blind people to help themselves

An earthquake is caused by a sudden slip on a fault, or fracture, in the earth's surface. The tectonic plates on the surface are always slowly moving, but they get stuck at their edges because of friction. When the stress on the edge overcomes the friction, there is an earthquake that releases energy in waves that travel through the earth's crust and create the shaking we feel.
An earthquake's degree is a measured value of its size and is the same no matter where you are, or how strong or weak the shaking was in different locations. An earthquake's intensity is a measure of the shaking it creates, and varies with location.
A degree of 8 or higher defines a “great” earthquake; 7 to 7.9 is considered “major”; 6 to 6.9 is “strong”;5 to 5.9 is “moderate”; 4 to 4.9 is “l(fā)ight”; 3 to 3.9 is "minor"; and less than 3 is “micro.”
Experts have said that a million people died in earthquakes in the 20th century ­and that this century might see 10 times as many deaths, with as many as a million killed in a single quake. That is, unless major efforts are made to fortify the world’s growing cities, which are expected to be homes to billions of added residents.
Even though the rate of earthquakes over time seems to be more or less unchanging, the world's population explosion means that more people are moving into quake zones, which are often near coasts. The result, the experts say, is the prospect of continuing trauma.
“It is inevitable,” Klaus H. Jacob, an earthquake expert at Lamont-Doherty, the earth sciences research center of Columbia University, said at the end of the last century. “More and more people, and more and more buildings, are  at stake  . As the world gets more populous and richer, allowing a more built-up environment, higher buildings and all the infrastructure that supports our civilization, communications and the like, the risk goes up.”
63. We can feel the earthquake because               
A. the plates are always moving.     
B. the stress overcomes the friction.
C. the plates get stuck.  
D. the waves in which energy is released travel through the earth’s crust.
64. a degree of 8.2 is thought             
A. a  “moderate” earthquake.         B. a “major” earthquake .
C. a “strong” earthquake.             D. a “great” earthquake.
65.  Experts have said that                
A. a billion people died in earthquakes in the 20th century.
B. ten times as many deaths will be seen by this century.
C. a million people will be killed in a single earthquake this century.
D. if we don’t take measures, something worse may happen.
66. The underlined expression probably means           .
A. endangered       B. strong         C. safe        D. weak
