All Ric O Barry wants is to stop the dolphin?killing, so he is headed to this seaside Japanese town, Taiji.The American activist, who is the star of a new award?winning documentary that portrays the dolphin?killing here, got an unwelcome reception when he showed up here this week for the start of the annual hunt.

His movie, The Cove(海豚灣), directed by National Geographic photographer Louie Psihoyos, was released in the United States a month ago but has not yet to come out in Japan.

Scenes in the film, some of which were shot secretly, show fishermen banging on metal poles stuck in the water to create a wall of sound that scares the dolphins— which have supersensitive sonar(聲納系統(tǒng))—and sends them fleeing into a cove.

There, the fishermen sometimes pick a few to be sold for aquarium shows, for as much as $150,000. They kill the others, spearing(刺) the animals repeatedly until the water turns red. The meat from one dolphin is worth about 50,000 yen, and is sold at supermarkets across Japan.

Greenpeace and other groups have tried to stop the hunt for years.Activists hope The Cove will bring the issue to more people internationally—and eventually in Japan.

Already，the Australian town of Broome dropped its 28?year sister?city relationship with Taiji last month，partly because of the movie.

“Some regions have a tradition of eating dolphin meat，” said fisheries official Toshinori Uoya. “Dolphin?killing may be negative for our international image, but it is not something orders can stop.”

The town government in Taiji—which has made whales and dolphins its trademark—refused to comment about The Cove, or the growing international criticism against dolphin?killing.

Many in Taiji take the dolphin hunt for granted as part of everyday life. They are defensive about The Cove，seeing themselves as powerless victims of overseas pressure to end a simple and honest way of making a living.

1.Ric O Barry made The Cove because he wanted to ________.

A．stop the dolphin?killing

B．win an international award

C．support Greenpeace's efforts

D．make Taiji well?known in the world

2.Viewers can learn from The Cove ________.

A．the advanced techniques to catch dolphins

B．the cruel and bloody dolphin?killing

C．the beautiful Japanese seaside town Taiji

D．the sale of dolphin meat around the world

3.What is the response to The Cove on the Japanese side?

A．Taiji broke up with its western sister?city Broome.

B．Japanese officials decided to ban dolphin?killing.

C．The town government in Taiji kept silent on criticism.

D．Most Japanese people were against eating dolphin meat.

4.What does the underlined word “defensive” probably mean?

A．Feeling guilty for killing dolphins.

B．Protecting themselves against criticism.

C．Attacking those against dolphin?killing.

D．Making the determination to change.

5.What can we infer from the passage?

A．Many people in Japan have seen The Cove in the cinema.

B．The Cove has not influenced Japan's international image.

C．Taiji's dolphin?killing industry has been seriously damaged.

D．The Cove has brought international attention to dolphin?killing.

After spending a year in Brazil on a student exchange program，her mother recalled，Marie Colvin returned home to find that her classmates had narrowed down their college choices.“Everyone else was already admitted to college，” her mother，Rosemarie Colvin，said from the family home.“So she took our car and drove up to Yale and said，‘You_have_to_let_me_in.'”

“Impressed—she was a National Merit (全國英才) finalist who had picked up Portuguese in Brazil—Yale did, admitting her to the class of 1978，where she started writing for the Yale Daily News and decided to be a journalist，” her mother said.
