The Niagar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a Falls is between Canada and the United States in North America. It's on a river that connects two of the five Great Lakes. The Niagara Falls has two parts: the Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side of the river, and the American Falls on the United States' side. They are about 50 metres high, 1,240 metres wide.
The Niagara ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Falls has three special falls. The tallest are the American and Bridal Veil falls on the American side. The falls are colourfully lit up at night, and many people say they're even more beautiful in winter when the grounds are covered with snow and the waters turn to ice.
Most v ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )isitors go as close to the falls as possible and watch the waters thundering down.
The N ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iagara Falls is different from the waterfalls you find in mountains, where a thin stream of water comes down a mountainside, half-flying.
Above in the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )air, you will understand the real difference between the American and Canadian Falls. The American Falls get only about 10% of the water, while the Canandian Falls get 90%.

The wa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )terbuck is a kind of kind animals. All male waterbucks have horns, which may be big or small. Waterbucks use their horns when fighting and defending themselves.
Zebras h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ave strong bodies and long, straight legs that are good for running. Zebras help one another to look and listen for danger. If one zebra sees a lion, it makes a loud noise to warn the others. A zebra can run faster than a lion unless it is caught by surprise. No two zebras have exactly the same stripes(条纹).
Cheetahs can ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )run as fast as seventy-five miles an hour. Strong claws(爪子) on the cheetah's feet help it to hold the ground when it is running fast. Powerful back legs help it jump forward.
A meerkat m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )akes its home in an underground hole. When a group of meerkats goes out for food, one of them acts as a sentry and looks out for larger animals. If it notices danger, it calls out a warning, and all the meerkats run back to the hole.
71. Azebra's long and straight legs help it to .
A. dig holes B. defend itself C. run fast D. find food
72. The two anima ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ls which help warn others in danger are the .

A change ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is coming in the forest. Scientists are trying to make the logging(伐木作业) companies stop clear-cutting. We have to protect(保护) the fish, wildlife, and water quality(质量). The forest is a beautiful place that people should be able to enjoy.
Everything ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )would change if all the trees were cut down. The trees, animals, and water depend on each other. Many plants and animals would be in danger of dying out. It would even change our weather.
This does ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) not mean all of the trees cannot be cut down. It just means all the trees in one place cannot be cut down at one time. We should plant new trees when the old ones are cut down. Then the land won't be destroyed(摧毁) and the animals will still be able to live well.
The compan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ies are beginning to take care when they cut down trees. They are now leaving many dead trees so that small animals will have homes. They are leaving many trees to give shelter for animals.
Both the co ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mpanies and the forest scientists are trying to agree on things. They have to balance(平衡) the wood we need with protecting the forest. A good rule seems to be not to cut more than you grow each year.
74. Which of the following is true
A. People couldn't enjoy life if all trees were cut down.
B. The cutting of trees won't change the life of fish.
C. The forest is the most beautiful place for scientists.

A. dead trees are useless for small animals
B. some people don't know the right way to cut trees
C. the companies haven't followed scientists' advice at all
D. old trees should be put into rivers to protect(保护)the water
D
When some ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )thing goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, "Well, it's so-and-so's mistake." or "I know I'm late, but it's not my fault; the car broke down." It is probably not your mistake, but once you form the habit of blaming(指责) somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner's key to success.
Winn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ers are great at solving problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague(同事) causes you problems on the job for being short of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don't depend on the person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
This is w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and chances to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on "whose mistake it is". Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.
78. What does the underlined word "remedy" probably mean
A. Avoid. B. Accept. C. Improve. D. Consider.
79. When your co ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lleague brings about a problem, you should .
A. blame him for his being short of responsibility
B. find a better way to deal with the problem
C. tell him to find the cause of the problem
D. ask a more able colleague for help
80. What can be the best title for the passage
A. A Winner's Secret B. A Winner's Chance
C. A Winner's Problem D. A Winner's Progress
