A woman in California has been regarded as a hero. She used her bare hands(赤手空拳) to fight off a 65-pound mountain lion that was attacking(袭击)her five-year-old son. The animal attacked the boy while he was playing in his family's front yard, leaving him with injuries(伤害)to his head, neck and chest. The lion was carrying away her five-year-old son. It “dragged(拖) him about 45 yards” across the front yard. Luckily, the boy was in stable condition, recovering from the incident.
The boy's mother heard the noises from inside the house and ran outside and "started fighting against the mountain lion with her bare hands and got him off her son," said Foy, a spokesman for California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Her instinctas a mother played the most important role as she dragged her little boy from the mouth of the big cat. “The true hero of this story is his mom," Foy added. The mountain lion was later killed by a wildlife officer.
The parents immediately drove the boy to a hospital, where officers were toldabout the attack and sent a wildlife officer to the scene. Once at the house, the officer discovered amountain lion. “Because of its behavior and appearance, the officer believed it was likely the attacking lion and to protect publicsafety he killed it," the wildlife department said. DNA tests later proved it was really the attacking lion. They said the attack probably happened because the animal was young and was practicing its hunting skills.
After the mountain lion was shot, another appeared there and it was dragged and moved toanother place. That mountain lion, found to be part of a National Park Service study, didn't join in the attack and had no known history of attacking humans, the department said.

If you are afraid of insects(昆虫),this might be difficult reading. A fossil(化石)found on a beach in England shows that the biggest insect that ever lived was the size of a small car.
The fossil is of a large millipede(千足虫).This monster could have had hundreds of legs. Its body is similar to the modern millipede. Although the name “millipede” means “one thousand legs" in Latin, few species(物种)actually have 1, 000 feet. The fossil hunters in England said what they found was “certainly the biggest insect that ever lived” They said the millipede was around 2.7 meters long and weighed over 50 kg. This would have been a frightening sight.
Only two other fossils of this kind have been found before. However, this fossil is the largest and the oldest. The scientistsfound the fossil by chance(偶然). A lecturer at theUniversity of Cambridge's Department of EarthSciences said he found a rock on the beach. Ithad recently fallen from a cliff(悬崖). He said, “It was a complete fluke(侥幸)of a discovery. It was an exciting finding."
He explained that the fossil dates back(追溯到)over326 million years. This was 100 millionyears before the Age of Dinosaurs. Theresearchers believe that the millipede had a good food because it was so huge. They said, “ Whilewe can't know for sure what they ate, therewere plenty of nuts and seeds available... at thetime." They might also have eaten frogs andlizards, but not humans.
Their disappearance(消失)was possibly linked toglobal warming or due to being out-competedfor food after the rise of reptiles. The fossil hasbeen taken to Cambridge for study. It was so big that it required four people to carry it. Cambridge's Sedgwick Museum will exhibit the fossil in the New Year,
28. Where was the fossil discovered
A. In a small car.B. In the sea water.
C. On a cliff.D. On the beach.
29. Why was the millipede a frightening sight
A. It had 1,000 feet.B. It lived for such a long time.
C. It was a very large insect.D. It was different from the modern millipede.
30. What can we know from the fossil
A. The millipede had good food.
B. The millipede liked eating nuts and seeds.
C. The millipede weighed less than 50kg.
D. The millipede was about 300 years old.
31. Where is the text most probably taken from

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It's always hard to ask for help. It can be embarrassing(尴尬) too-especially if you feel like everyone else is keeping up except you.36 Here are the things to remember the next time you're embarrassed to ask for help.
Admitting you need help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
It’s easy to tell yourself things like"I should be able to handle(处理)this by myself."37In fact, they'll just slow you down or make your performance even worse,Acknowledging
(承认)your shortcomings(缺点)is a sign of strength, not Weak-
ness. After all, you can't change what you don't acknowledge.
Getting help can save you a lot of time.
In order to spare your pride, it can be tempting(诱人的) to try to go it alone. But your refusal to ask for help may make you waste a lot of time trying to do things on your own. In some cases, early asking is best. It's a lot easier to get help when you first see warming signs, rather than after five years.Or, it's easier to fix a problem that you've only screwed up(弄糟)a little. 38
You aren't the only one who is struggling.
Someone else is also struggling. 39 If you find the courage to speak up first, someone else may feel more comfortable stepping forward and admitting their struggle.
40
Some people fear that asking for help will bother(打扰) someone else. But studies show askingsomeone for a favor(帮忙) is more likely to cause the person to like you more. And researchers have confirmed(证实) asking for help could make you more popular.
A. But those messages won't do you any good.
B. They might not be brave enough to admit it.
C.Seeking assistance(援助)gives others an opportunity(机会).
D. Asking for help can make you more comfortable.
E. You regard yourself as the only one falling behind(落后).
F. Never wait until you've caused some serious damage(损坏).
G. The more often you do it, the more confident(有信心的) you'll become.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文
“Tiki!” I yelled crazily. Our little white dog, Tiki, had slipped out of the door earlier that evening while I was carrying groceries into the house. Now I was walking up in the neighborhood trying to find him. My seven- year-old son,Jordan,and my three-year-old daughter, Julia followed me.
The last few months had been difficult. After losing my job, I could no longer afford our house in Indianapolis. The kids and I moved in with my parents in northern Indiana, 150 miles away from the city,
We called out Tiki's name and knocked on neighbors' doors until it was too dark to see. We were forced to returm home empty-handed. "Mom, it's all new here. What if Tiki can't find Grandma's house " asked Jordan. It's okay ,"I said." He's wearing his collar and dog tag, so if someone finds him, they'll call me, and we'll get him back." It was at that moment that I realized with horror that Tiki's tag listed our address and phone number in Indianapolis. If someone found him, they'd have no way to reach me. I felt sick to my stomach.
The kids were sad, especially Jordan. One afternoon, I found him crying in his room. “At school, we had to write about our wishes," he said. “I wrote, ‘I wish my dog would come home. Mrs Rush hung our papers in the hallway. Every time I see my paper, I feel sad. " My heart broke for him.
So later that week, when he put on a T-shirt with a rat picture from his old school back in Indianapolis, something told me to just let it slide. If it helped him get through the school day. that was more important than looking put-together.
When he got home that afternoon, he told me the school custodian(门卫) had asked him about his shirt. “ I told him that we had just moved here from Indianapolis," said Jordan The next day, I got a call from Jordan's teacher. I’m calling on behalf of our school custodian," she began. “His grown daughter found a dog recently, and he thinks it might be yours.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1:
I calledthecustodian'sdaughterimmediately.

She told me she'd mentioned to him that she'd found little dog.

I called the custodian's daughter immediately. " He's a small white dog and his tag says TiKI," the lady on the phone said. The kids and I piled into the car and rushed over. Minutes later, my kids were sitting on the floor in the custodian's daughter's kitchen, laughing when Tiki licked their faces. " Thank you for taking care of him, but I'm curious,” I said. “ What made your dad think he was ours "
She told me she'd mentioned to him that she'd found a little dog. One day, he was mopping the hallway when he spotted the kids' latest papers. He paused to read Jordan's. Could it be the same dog His daughter said mo. The dog had an Indianapolis tag with a disconnected phone number. " But then he noticed Jordan's Indianapolis T-shirt and put two and two together " I said, connecting the dots, She nodded. That night, Jondan thanked the lady for bringing Tiki home. And I thanked myseif for prompting me to let Jordan wear the old T-shin that made the reunion possible
