A
My wife Hilary andI were on the beach, with three of our children, taking pictures of shore birds near our
home in Alaska when we saw a bear. The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly.
Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting, “Dad! The bear is right behind us!" An aggressive bear
will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was
silent and its ears pinned back the sign of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. Thebear
behaved abnormally, probably because of hunger.
I held my camera tripod(三脚架)in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head
was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself
supporting its weight. I knew 1 would not be able to hold it for long.
Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand
little chance of running faster than a brown bear.
The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held
tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going
to break.
Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times. The bear opened its
mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling with the bear at this point. Then, as
suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back towards-the forest,before returning for another
attack the first time I felt panic.
Obviously satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My
arm was injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have been better. I'm proud that my family remained
clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.

A. Fearful but confident. B. Nervous but brave.
C. Upset but determined. D. Awful but hopeful.
2. The bear finally went away after it A. got injured B. felt safe
C. found some food D. took away the camera
3. What does the author want to tell us?
A. We should keep calm when troubles come
B. We should rise to the challenge when faced with difficulties.
C. We should not risk ourselves in some dangerous areas.
D. We should learn to take advantage of anything at hand when in trouble.
B
The air is thin and we have to rest several times on the shore hike from camp. To our left, snow-covered
mountains disappear into clouds that seem almost close enough to touch. On the plain in front of us, we can just
make out a herd of graceful animals. This is why we stay here.
Tibetan antelopes live mainly on the plains of Tibet. Watching them move slowly across the green grass, I'm
struck by their beauty. I'm also reminded of the danger they are in. They are being hunted illegally for their
valuable fur.
My guide is Zhaxi, a villager from Changtang. He works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve. The
reserve is a safe place for the animals and plants of northwestern Tibet. To Zhaxi, protecting the wildlife is a way of
life. “We're not trying to save the animals,” he says. “Actually, we're trying to save ourselves.”
In the 1980s and 1990s the population of Tibetan antelopes dropped by more than 50 percent. Hunters were
shooting antelopes to make money. Their living places were becoming smaller as new roads and railways were
built.
In order to save Tibetan antelopes, the Chinese government placed them under national protection. Zhaxi
and volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from attacks. Bridges and gates were
added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains.
The measures were effective. The antelope population has recovered and in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope
wasremovedfrom the endangered species list. The government, however, does not intend to stop the protection
program since the threat to the Tibetan antelope has not yet disappeared. Only when we learn to exist in harmony
with nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet.
4. What can we learn from Zhaxi's words in paragraph 3?
A. Protecting the animals can make money. B. Protecting the animals is protecting ourselves.
C. He is not fond of protecting the animals. D. The reserve is only safe for wild animals.

Last summer, Katie Steller pulled off the freeway on her way to work inMinneapolis. She stopped at a traffic
light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She rolled down her window and shouted. “Hey. I’m
driving around giving free haircuts. Do you want one right now?” The man laughed, then paused. “Actually,” he
said, “I was really hoping to get a haircut.” Steller pulled out a red chair from her car and helped the man cut his
hair immediately. After the work was done, the man looked in a mirror. “I look good!” he said.
Up to now, Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts around the city to people with little influence, and she is
strongly aware of the power of her cleanup job.
As a teen, she suffered from a severe disease, causing her hair to get thinned, so her mother arranged for

If you are sending a text message watching TV or listening to the radio, you may stop and give this your full
attention. Multitasking shrinks (使.....萎缩)the brain? research suggests.
A study found that men and womenwho frequently used several types of technology at the same time had
less grey matter in a key part of the brain. University of Sussex researchers said, " Using mobile phones, laptops
and other media devicessimultaneouslycould be changing the structure of our brains."
Worryingly, the part of the brain that shrinks is involved in processing emotion. The finding follows research
which has linked multitasking with a shortened attention span, depression , anxiety and lower grades at school.

One day when I was 5, my mother blamed me for not finishing my rice and I got angry. I wanted to play
outside and not to be made to finish eating my old rice. When angrily opening the screen door (纱门) with my
foot, I kicked back about a 12-inch part of the lower left hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no regret,
for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys.
Today, I know if my child had done what I did, I would have blamed my child, and told him about how
expensive this new screen door was, and I would have delivered a spanking (打屁股) for it. However, my parents
never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door pushed out, creating an opening, in the defense against

In his 402nd anniversary year, Shakespeare is still rightly celebrated as a great language master and writer.
But he was not the only great master of play writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have
left a lasting influence on theater.
While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is considered one of Chinas greatest playwrights and is highly
spoken of in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.
Tang was born in 1550 inLinchuan,Jiangxiprovince. Unlike Shakespeare's large body of plays,poems and
sonnets (十四行诗), Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, Peony Pavilion (《牡丹亭》), A Dream
under the Southern bough, and Dream of Handan. The latter three were constructed around a dream narrative, a

Top Four Marathons
Portland Marathon
The marathon welcomes 8 000 people every fall. It’s a great event for first-timers because everyone is
cheered on with enthusiasm no matter how long it takes to cross the finish line. The time limit for the full
marathon is now at a pace of minutes per mile, or 6 hours and 33 minutes, but in the past it had an open time
limit. They promise you’ll still receive your medal if you fall behind the pace, but you have to finish using the
sidewalks.
TCS New York City Marathon
As the world’s biggest marathon, the TCS New York City Marathon attracts over 50,000 people to the Big
Apple each November. The time limit is generous eight and a half hours, but participants must move to the
