of Skiddaw with the sum setting in the west. I used classical techniques,

achieve the black—and—white image(图像).

Port Lympne Reserve, which runs a breeding(繁育)programme, has welcomed the arrival of a rare
black rhino calf(犀牛幼息).When the tiny creature arrived on January 31. she became the 40th black
rhino to be born at the reserve. And officials at Port Lympne were delighted with the new arrival,
especially as black rhinos are known for being difficult to breed in captivity(圈养).
Paul Beer, head of rhino section at Port Lympne, said: “Obviously we're all absolutely delighted
to welcome another calf to our black rhino family. She's healthy, strong and already eager to play
and explore. Her mother, Solio, is a first—time mum and she is doing a fantastic job. It's still
a little too cold for them to go out into the open, but as soon as the weather warms up. I have no
doubt that the little one will be out and about exploring and playing every day.”
The adorable female calf is the second black rhino born this year at the reserve, but it is too
early to tell if the calves will make good candidates to be returned to protected areas of the wild.
The first rhino to be born at Port Lympne arrived on January 5 to first—time mother Kisima and weighed
about 32 kg. His mother, grandmother and great grandmother were all born at the reserve and still

When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow, London on a gray
January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved
beaches and endless blue—sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.
Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the
continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the
local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello.
It meant don't worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam(横杆), I fell onto
the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few
minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “ Safe! Safe!
Safe!” And that's what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater.
When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were
far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I'd given it up.
When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours
there. I've traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but
clear: tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Weaving(穿梭)among the kids who rushed
by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail—thin teenager, in a baggy white T—shirt,
skidded(滑)up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But
soon I caught a few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly,
he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”
“Yeah,” I said. “Safe.”
8. What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London?
A. He felt disappointed.
B. He gave up his hobby.
C. He liked the weather there.
D. He had disagreements with his family.
9. What do the underlined words “Safe! Safe! Safe!” probably mean?
A. Be careful!
B. Well done!
C. No way!
D. Don't worry!
10. Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London?
A. To join the skateboarding.
B. To make new friends.
C. To learn more tricks.
D. To relive his childhood days
11. What message does the author seem to convey in the text?
A. Children should learn a second language.
B. Sport is necessary for children's health.
C. Children need a sense of belonging
D. Seeing the world is a must for children.
D
Who is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.
Let's state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius.
But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people
are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they?
In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin.
Perhaps this is not a surprise. It's said that history is written by the victors, and those victors
set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside
the club—women, or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected
by others.
A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than
boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study
found that girls act on that belief Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for
children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become
discouraged and give up? It doesn't take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.
Here's the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we're all positioned
to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social
factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer
says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and
simple good fortune, who are able to change the world."
12. What does the author think of victors' standards for joining the genius club?
A. They're unfair.
B. They're conservative.
C. They're objective.
D. They're strict.
13. What can we infer about girls from the study in Science?
A. They think themselves smart.
B. They look up to great thinkers.
C. They see gender differences earlier than boys.
D. They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs
14. Why are more geniuses known to the public?
A. Improved global communication.
B. Less discrimination against women.
C. Acceptance of victors' concepts.
D. Changes in people's social positions.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Geniuses Think Alike
B. Genius Takes Many Forms
C. Genius and Intelligence D. Genius and Luck

Swap, Don’t shop!
You keep hearing about recycling, right? But it doesn't end with bottles, cans, and paper.
Clothing takes a huge amount of natural resources(资源)to make, and buying loads of new clothing
(or throwing out old clothing)is not healthy for the environment. So what to do with all those
perfectly-good-but-you're-maybe-a-little-sick-of-them clothes piled on your bedroom floor? 16. It's
the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes from your friends, and have a party all
at the same time.
A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes, the organization of the event, and,
obviously, how much fun is had. It's really easy to do! Here are a few pointers.
●Invite 5—10 people so you have a nice selection. 17, and there may not be enough things to
choose from;more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.
●
18
. They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their "new" clothes
home.
●Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room.19 . Place a few mirrors
around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on. One of the ground rules
of the swap should be that everyone must try on the clothes before they take them—things always
look different when you put them on.
●Set a starting time. Maybe you say “go,” or turn on a certain song, or whatever.

.
And don't forget to put out some cookies and fruits. Remember, it's a party!
A. Less people than that
B. Hold a clothing swap
C. If two people are competing
D. Just keep music playing throughout

F. Have everyone put their clothes in the right spots
G. Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition

We

did the job. It took us about 3 hours to go all

Last week our teacher asked us to fill in a questionnaire. One of the questions are:Who will
you go in times of trouble?Here are the results. Many students say they will talk to their friend
or classmates because they're of the same age and can understand each other. Some will turn out to
their parents or teachers for help. Only a little choose to deal with the problems on our own. Their
answers also show that they dislike talk to others. They kept very much to themselves. In my opinion,
where in trouble, we should seek help from those we trust mostly.
