Once upon a time, a hippo (

河马

) lived in a river next to

a big tree.

One

day,

a

bird

came

and

nested

(

筑巢

)

in

the

tree.

The

songs

of the bird filled the hippo with so much envy (

羡慕

) that he

couldn

’

t

think

of

anything

else.

Every

day

he

would

think

why

he

wasn

’

t

born

to

be

a

bird

even

though

the

bird

told

him

many

times he was so lucky to be so big and such a good swimmer.

Finally,

the hippo made

up

his

mind

that

he would come out

of

the

river,

climb

the

tree,

and

start

singing.

However,

when

he tried to climb the tree, it was very clear that the hippo

didn

’

t have wings, nor claws to climb with.

Realizing

that

he

would

never

climb

up

the

tree,

he

angrily

hit the tree until it came crashing to the ground. Then he

stepped

onto

the

leaves

of

the

fallen

tree,

and

began

singing.

Unfortunately, hippos can

’

t sing, either. All that came

from

his

mouth

were

terrible

noises,and

when

the

other

animals

heard this, they all came around to make fun of the hippo.

He was so ashamed of this. He also felt bad about having

knocked the tree over. He used all his strength to raise the

tree back up again, and look after it until it completely

recovered(

康复

).

hippo envied the bird because

.

could fly high

could build a nest

could sing well

could live in the tree

reading this passage, we know

.

writer is telling us a true story

story happened on an autumn day

bird thought he was luckier than the hippo

hippo tried to do something against his nature

hippo in this story

.

happy all the time

not respect his friends

to talk a lot but did nothing

his mistake when he realized it

the passage, we can infer(

推断

)that the hippo would

after such an experience.

a good singer

good at climbing trees

envying the bird

make friends with other animals

best title of this passage may be “

”.

hippo that wished to sing

tree that was knocked over

bird that wished to swim

animals that were in high spirits

In Britain, Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December

26th,

which

is

the

following

day

after

Christmas

Day.

However,

strictly speaking, Boxing Day is the first weekday after

Christmas.

Like

Christmas

Day,

Boxing

Day

is

a

public

holiday.

This

means

it

’

s

a

non-working

day

in

the

whole

of

Britain.

When

Boxing

Day

falls

on

a

Saturday

or

Sunday,

the

following

Monday

is the public holiday.

The exact origin(

起源

) of the holiday is unclear. One of

the

thoughts

is

that

during

the

Middle

Ages,

when

great

sailing

ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas box

was placed by a priest(

神父

)on each ship. Those sailors who

wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box.

It was sealed up and kept on board until the ship came home

safely.

Then

the box

was

handed over to

the priest in

exchange

for

the

saying

of

a

Mass

of

thanks

for

the

success

of

the

sailing.

The

priest

wouldn

’

t

open

it

to

share

the

contents

with

the

poor

until Christmas.

One more thought is about the“Alms Box” placed in

every

church

on

Christmas

Day.

Wo rshippers(

做礼拜的人

)put

gifts

for

the poor

into it.

These

boxes

were always

opened

the day

after

Christmas, that is why that day became known as Boxing Day.

Today, many businesses,

organizations

and

families

try

to

keep

the

traditional

spirit

of

Boxing

Day

alive

by

donating (

捐

赠

)their

time,

services

and

money

to

aid

Food

Banks,

providing

gifts for the poor, or helping families in need. Besides,

spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day

activities now.

D

Pollution

inside

homes

and

other

buildings

kills

more

than

4 million people each year. Many people die as a result of

breathing smoke or from cooking over wood- powered or

coal- powered stoves.

One way to reduce the number of deaths is through cooking

equipment powered by the sun. Crosby Menzies, a solar power

expert in a South African company, described his latest solar

cooker called the “Sol

-

4”.“It is four square met

ers of

mirrors, six to eight meters in length. It is quite a large

cooker.”

The

“Sol

-

4”

works

by

reflecting(反射

)

light

from

the

sun

off

large

mirrors.

The

mirrors

direct(

把……对准

)

the

light

at

a

cooking

pan.

Then

the

light

heats

the pan with

solar energy.

Within two minutes,

the

pan

is

hot

enough

to

cook sausages

and

onions. In just four minutes, water can be boiled. That is as

fast as cooking with natural gas or electricity.

The cooker is also much “friendlier” than other models

because people do not have to stand in the sun to use people

can prepare meals without having to collect firewood or spend

money on individuals would be less likely to have breathing

illnesses from harmful smoke.

At

present,

the

cooker

only

works

when

the

sun

is

shining.

But engineers are working on a way to make it work without

sunlight.

Each

cooker

costs

about

$$2,000,

which

is

a

large

amount

of

money

for

most

Africans.

To

solve

that

problem,

Crosby

Menzies

has

created

a

non- governmental

organization

called

Solar

Cookers

for plans to raise money through donations to provide poor

people with solar cooking equipment.

passage is mainly about

.

cookers pollution

power experts illnesses

“Sol

-

4” is mainly used to

.

the time of cooking

the cost of making cookers

money through donations to help African people

the number of deaths caused by harmful smoke

underlined word “individuals” most probably means

“

”.

of the following about the “Sol

-

4” is TRUE

is six to eight square meters of mirrors.

can work in any weather condition now.

can also heat the pan by lighting firewood.

is more environment-friendly than other cookers.

the passage, we can infer that

.

“Sol

-

4” will be designed in a smaller size

Africans can use the solar cookers in the future

“Sol

-

4” is th

e first product of the South African company

African government will provide poor people with solar

cookers
