There are many kinds of animals that live in the forest, such as mice, rabbits, squirrels, owls and bears.
Animals in the forest depend on(依靠) one another for food. Many small forest animals, such as mice, eat green plants for food, and then larger animals eat them. This is called a food chain(食物链).
A food chain begins with the sun. The green plants in the forest use the sun's energy(能源) to make food for themselves. It is called photosynthesis(光合作用).
Forest plants produce flowers and seeds. Mice eat the flowers and seeds. The mice get their energy from the plants, and the mice become food for a larger animal, such as the hunting hawk. So the energy from the sun passes from the plants to the mice to the hawk. A break in any part of this food chain means some animals may not have enough food to eat.
( )50. Photosynthesis takes place when ______.
A. larger animals eat small animals B. green plants use the sun's energy to make food
C. forest animals eat the food made by green plants D. the food chain is broken
( )51. What is the first link(环节) in a food chain?
A. The sun. B. The earth. C. Green plants. D. Forest animals.
( )52. Animals sometimes cannot find enough food because ______.
A. it's cloudy B. there is very little food in a forest
C. photosynthesis stops D. there is a break in the food chain
(C)
Last weekend, our family went to have Christmas dinner in a restaurant. We were the only family with a baby in the restaurant. Suddenly, my baby Erik became excited when we were enjoying our meal. I looked around and saw an old man with old clothes and dirty old shoes. His hair was unwashed. He was smiling at my Erik.
“He might hurt my Erik,” I thought. Everyone in the restaurant looked at us and the old man. Then we decided to leave. The old man sat between the door and us.
As I walked closer to the man, I turned my back. Suddenly, Erik leaned(倾斜) over my arms, reaching with both arms in a baby’s pick-me-up position(姿势). Before I could stop him, Erik had got away from my arms to the man’s. Soon the very old smelly man and my young baby developed a kind of friendship.
Erik put his little hand on the man’s face, and I saw the old man closed his eyes and tears running down his face. His aged hands held my baby so gently(温柔地). A moment later, the old man opened his eyes, passed me my baby and said,“Thank you, Madam. You’ve given me the best Christmas gift.”
I cried, with my face burning hot. A child saw a soul(灵魂), but a mother saw only a kind of clothes.
( )53. The family decided to leave the restaurant because they ______.
A.had finished the meal already B.had some important things to do
C.thought the food there was bad D.worried about their baby’s safety
( )54. We can learn from the passage that Erik _______.

Reading books is a good hobby for all kinds of reasons. First, reading books is fun. You can always keep pleased if you like reading. This is especially useful when the weather is bad. It is a relaxing hobby too. You can really become lost in a book.
Next, you can read a book anywhere: in a car, in a waiting-room, on a plane, in bed—even in the bath. All you need is a book! Reading is a convenient (方便的) hobby as it is easy to stop and then start again.
Another good reason for reading books is that it is useful. If you read as a hobby you will get better and better at it. This means that you will read faster and will become better at understanding what you read. As your reading improves, you will probably find your schoolwork becomes much easier. Many school subjects depend on good reading and, as you read, you learn more and more.
Some people say that reading is out of date. This is not true. You have to be able to read on the Internet. The better you read, the better your computer skills will be. Reading is hardly out of date!
Good readers are most likely to be good writers, too. They are usually good at spelling as well, and have more things to write about. Reading books is a wonderful hobby, one of the best. What else could be more enjoyable!
