A
In September, something terrible happened on the west coast ofTasmania,Australia. As many as 380 pilot
whales became stranded(搁浅) in shallow water there and later died. This might have beenAustralia’s largest
stranding event on record, the BBC reported.
But this large amount of whale stranding is not uncommon. For centuries, it has happened all over the world
and has puzzled scientists. Scientists say the cause is often unknown. But they have offered many different
explanations.
Some say the whales chase small fish for food and end up in shallow water because they are not paying
attention to where they are going.
Others think the stranding has something to do with Earth’s geomagnetic field (地磁场). They say that a
geomagnetic compass in whales’ brains controls their position. Unusual changes in Earth’s magnetic field can
affect the whales’ compasses and send them in the wrong direction.
Another explanation suggests that stranding is caused by the close relationships that whales have. Pilot
whales travel in large groups. One lead whale might mistakenly lead the whole group to shallow water. “And if one
gets into trouble, the others will not leave,” said Sheryl Gibney, a leading biologist fromNew Zealand. “Some will
come in and try to help, they get trapped on the beach, then more will come.”
The whales are trapped by mistake or out of sympathy(同情). Once they get stranded, they will likely die.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of theUS, less than 10 percent of all stranded
whales survive.

It was very cold and I had been watching a homeless man make himself comfortable in a “shelter” on the
river bank. His “shelter” was a tarpaulin (油布)tied to rocks to keep the wind from blowing it away. He had been
living there for over a month. I never saw him with warm clothing or food. I knew what I wanted to do.
When I told my parents what I wanted to do they werealarmed. They said I could be putting myself at risk,
taking a box to a homeless person at night! But I knew, in my deep heart, that I would be safe.
I got a box. My parents watched as I added warm gloves, a heavy blanket ... into the box until it was full! Then,
I put a Christmas card on top. It said, “Even though we hardly know each other, I want to wish you a Merry
Christmas!” I put ten one-dollar bills inside it as well.
My father insisted he went there with me as it was 10 pm on Christmas Eve. I said he could drive me but he
had to stay in the car. He agreed.
I took the box and walked towards his “house”. I called, “Sir, I have a Christmas box for you!”
“Go away!” he shouted.
“Sir,” I repeated.
“Go away!” he shouted.
“Why?” I asked him.
He walked over and I expected to see an angry face. Instead I saw two of the most beautiful, gentle, blue eyes
I have ever seen.
“Merry Christmas!” I said.
“Why are you doing this?” he asked.
“Because you matter to me,” I said. With that I gave him the box.
Tears came to his eyes and he thanked me. I got back to the car and watched him carry the box like it was filled with gold. I didn’t want to embarrass (使困窘) him by watching him any more so Dad and I left.
4. The underlined word “alarmed” can best be replaced by _____.
A. pleased B. worried
C. disappointed D. surprised
5. Why did the author ask his father to stay in the car?
A. Because he wanted to prove he was brave.
B. Because he believed the homeless man was bad.
C. Because he wanted to protect his father from being hurt.
D. Because he didn’t want the homeless man to feel bad.
6. When the homeless man saw the author first, he was _____.
A. quite angry B. very excited
C. quite puzzled D. very curious
7. The author’s purpose in writing the text is to tell readers that _____.
A. it is easier said than done

My mother and her best friend Martha were in their mid-80s when they saw each other for the last time.
They had been friends since they were 18, both of them students atWesleyanCollegeinMacon,Georgia. My mother
was the dreamy one, who loved to read and dream herself as an actress. Martha, however, was more practical. I’m
not sure what they had in common except that they trusted each other, helped each other, and stayed in touch
even when life separated them.
Martha spent most of her adulthood inAtlanta, where she raised three kids. My mother, meanwhile, raised eight
children, and moved many times during her financially and emotionally troubled marriage, which included several
months living with her family inseedymotels.

One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least
one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem inability to read.
In the library,I found my way into the "Children's Room." I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off
the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a
beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he
was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.
Without opening the book—Amos, the Beagle with a Plan ,1 borrowed it from the library for the summer.
