In Chinese culture, tigers are seen as the king of all animals. They stand for power, energy and protection. Tigers are seen as fearless animals, so that’s why in China you can see pictures of tigers on the walls of houses and temples to ward off (抵御) danger and disasters.

If you want someone to calm down, you can say to them “easy, tiger”. Another famous phrase is “eye of the tiger”, which means having strength.

One hour later, he caught a big fish, but it was a bass. It was 9 pm-- two hours before the season opened.

Passage 5
Forests are magic places, and so are the animals that live in them. We enjoy watching TV shows about bears, monkeys or lions. But what about smaller animals that are more difficult to see or film Many small animals in forests are very important for the soil. A French scientist, Francois-Xavier Joly, is studying one of them-- the millipede (千足虫).
When the leaves begin to die in autumn, they turn from green to yellow and fall from the trees. When they decompose (腐烂) on the ground, the soil (土壤) takes in their nutrients (营养). Life in the forest needs these nutrients-- without them, plants could not grow and so there would be no food for other animals.
Some living things, like mushrooms, break the leaves into smaller pieces and eat them. In a few months there is nothing left of them. But for mushrooms, not all trees are the same. Mushrooms prefer some types of leaves to others. This means that some leaves take much longer to decompose than others, sometimes years. This is where the millipede can help.
The millipede also likes leaves and it eats any type. But when it has finished, it produces waste. This waste then becomes the food of mushrooms. When mushrooms eat leaves they choose only certain types-but when they eat waste, they will eat any kind. This is how the millipede turns dead leaves into food for others and helps life continue. So next time you are walking through a forest, remember that something may be having a meal right under your feet!
( ) 1. What kind of animal is the millipede
A. Large animals. B. Small animals. C. Animals in danger. D. Sea animals.
( ) 2. Leaves are important for plants and animals in the forest because __________.
A. leaves give them enough water B. leaves protect them from sunlight
C. leaves produce good soil for them D. leaves can bring nutrients for them
( ) 3. According to the passage, what can we learn about the millipede
A. People often see it on TV shows. B. It is difficult to see because it’s small.
C. It lives under mushrooms in the forest. D. It mainly feeds on the nutrients in the soil.
( ) 4. What can we know from Paragraph 3
Mushrooms are good for the millipede.
The Millipede eats mushrooms in the forest.
The Millipede helps to give food to mushrooms.
Mushrooms help millipedes live well in the forest.
( ) 5. According to the writer, the millipede is ___________.
A. Important B. interesting C. dangerous D. useless
Passage 6
Many Americans enjoy running in their daily life. Early in the morning, at noon, or in the evening, whether (无论) in big cities or in the countryside, all over the United States, you can see Americans running-men and women, the young and the old. People run everywhere—down quiet streets in towns or at the gym. Some people even run in their living rooms.
However, running wasn’t so popular in the past. In the 1960s, few people ran, of whom most were athletes (运动员) and healthy strong people. At that time, women almost never ran. If they did, people might laugh at them. But today all these have changed. Men and women of all ages enjoy running.
Doctors say many of the health problems come from bad habits like eating too much, smoking cigarettes or taking little exercise. They often advise (建议) people to eat less and exercise more. In fact, if you aren’t ready to change your diet, you can start running.
