After some time the girl realized the mother would not return to her eggs and she decided to take them home. There she carefully placed the eggs in the heat of a lamp. Several days later the eggs broke and the baby geese came into the world.Geese are known to take the first living thing they see as their mother. Thus, to these young geese, the girl was their mother.As they grew, the girl was able to lead her birds to run across the grass, but she could not teach them to fly. The girl became increasingly worried about this, both when awake and in her dreams. Later; she had an idea ・ She would pilot a plane to guide them in flight. She asked her father for a plane and he assembled small aircraft for her.Caring about her safety, the father decided to pilot the plane himself. However, the birds did not recog nize or follow him, and in stead slept in the grass ・One day, the girl climbed into the plan 巳 started it and soon left the ground.

The 19th-century discovery of what appeared to be geometric designs cut across the surface was taken as evidence・ The lines were thought to have been a system of canals that had been built to irrigate the surface・ It is now clear that "canals" —perhaps the most spectacular geologic features of Mars —are natural valleys where ancient rivers once flowed・Another fragmented idea concerns the planet's seasonal changes in color. Once attributed to the rapid spread of some life-form, these shifts are now known to develop from the movement of fine dust in the atmosphere・By the close of the 20th cen tury none of the many experime nts con ducted by spacecraft had ever found persuasive evidenee of life. Nevertheless, speculation continued over the existenee of some form of life, in either the pres ent or the past. In 1996 scie ntists discovered orga nic compounds and minerals in a meteorite （陨石）,consisting of Martian rock, that collided with Earth aro und 11,000 B.C・ These compo unds suggest that Mars may have bee n in habited by organisms more than three billion years ago.6.Why did people in the 19th century believe the existenee of intelligent life on Mars?A.Because the surface of Mars seemed to be geometric・B.Because the lines were drawn across the surface of the planet.C.Because a system of canals was thought to be there.D・ Because it was the Martians that built the canals.7.The "canals" on Mars have proved to be _________ according to the passage.A. the minor geologic characteristic of MarsB・ natural valleys on the surface of MarsC.rivers that have kept flowing since ancient timesD.a system that irrigates the whole surface8.What were the Mars' seasonal changes in color believed to be?A.The natural changes on the planet.B.The seasonal cycles・C.The movement of some life form.D.The storm of dust in its atmosphere.9.How is the 1996 discovery related to the possible existenee of organisms on Mars?A.The meteorite containing organic compounds is part of Mars・B.A Martian rock struck Earth about 11,000 years ago.C.The organisms came back to life after the collision with Earth.D.The inhabiting organisms appeared more than three billion years ago.10.How many arguments in this passage lead to the belief of the existenee of life on Mars?A.

In 1984, the pair moved to Los Angeles, California where Gilbert's father was an actor in commercials and soap operas・When Gilbert was about 11, he started playing basketball・ By the time Gilbert was 14, he was already the best player on Ulysses S. Grant High School in Van Nuys, California. He decided to wear the number ,,0n because people told him he would get H zero playing time11・ After his sophomore year, Gilbert decided to enter the NBA draft. Many coaches thought that Gilbert was not ready・As a result, he was drafted a disappointing 31st overall by the Golden State Warriors. Gilbert worked hard at Golden State, despite the fact his coach kept him on the bench for much of the seas on. Whe n he fin ally got his cha nee, Gilbert averaged 14 points and 5 assists per game as the Warriors point guard.After a successfu I in dividual year for Gilbert, it was time to test the NBA's free nt market. Much to the disappointment of Warriors fans, Gilbert signed a 6-year, 65 million dollar deal with the Washington Wizards in 2003・ Not surprisingly, he became an instant star with the Wizards. Fans loved to watch him race up the court, dish-off passes, and make difficult shots and lay ups. Although the Wizards only won 27 games his first year in Washington, Gilbert led them with 19.6 points per game ・Gilbert, along with teammates Larry Hughes and Antaw n Jamis on, led the Wizards to the NBA playoffs during his second year. The highlight of the decade for the Wizards was their post-seas on victory agai nst the Chicago Bulls in the NBA playoffs ・11.What did Gilbert's father do for a living in California?A.

What is good manners in one country may not be appropriate behavior in another. Chinese people may be shocked at what counts as good manners in England・When an Englishman passes a friend in the street he does not always stop to talk・ He may just nod, say H hello11 and pass on. If two friends do stop to talk, they do not shake hands. It is only at parties for young people (students, for instance) that a person could go up to someone he does not know and introduce himself. On more formal occasions or at parties run by older people a guest always waits to be in troduced to some one he does not know by the host, hostess oranother guest who he already knows ・ At even a formal dinner an Englishman does not wait for a toast before he has a drink. The English reserve toasts for very formal or very special occasions. In these cases the toast will usually be accompanied by a short speech, for example, at a wedding reception or at a party for somebody who is retiring. After a private dinner in someone's house an Englishman will only shake hands with the host and hostess if it is a fairly formal occasion, like a business dinner, and he will usually put his coat on and say goodbye as he leaves the house ・Luckily, like Chinese people, the English usually excuse foreign students over matters of etiquette. But even so, perhaps the safest advice for the overseas student, no matter what coun try he is visiting, is to follow the old proverb: when in Rome, do as the Roma ns do.16. When an Englishman meets a friend in the street, he may __________________________ • A. stop to talk to his friend B. just nod and say "hello" C ・ shake hands with his friendD ・ just say goodbye17.
