We often hear stories of animals rescuing people. But now someone has managed to return the favour.
The event took place one snowy January morning. Thomas Smith was walking his dog, Jack, in the park.“As I was walking, I just saw Jack running onto the ice towards the ducks in the middle, and then he fell into the water and couldn't climb out,”said Smith. He realized he had no choice but to try and save his dog. “Someone else told me the lake was only one-metre deep, but it was at least twice that. I had to break my way through the 6-cm ice. Finally, I got Jack by the neck and pulled him out. I don't think I've ever felt so cold by the time we got back to dry land. And when we got there, everyone was asking if Jack was okay—no one was particularly worried about me!”
A neighbor, Julie Brown, saw it all happen. “The dog went onto an icy lake. All of a sudden, it started to go under. There were crowds of people around, and they were all shouting and screaming. Before I knew it, the owner (Smith) was in the water forcing his way through the ice. I can't begin to imagine how cold it was. Everyone was very nervous, but he was as cool as a cucumber—he just crawled back out, put the dog on its lead, and went home.”?
Many regard him as a hero, but Mr. Smith is quite laid-back about it. “Most dog owners are the same as me. They would do what I did without a second thought. But in the future, I'm going to make sure he's on a lead near any icy ponds.”
Pets are members of our family. Would you do the same for them?

Is there intelligent (有智力的) life on other planets? For years,scientists said “no” or “we don't know”.But today this is changing.Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers(天文学家).They believe intelligent life exists (存在) somewhere in the universe.They also think we will soon contact these beings(人;生物).
Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets? The first reason is time.Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old.“This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life,” say Shostak and Barnett.The second reason is size—the universe is huge.“Tools like the Hubble Telescope(哈勃望远镜) have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies,” says Shostak.“And our galaxy,the Milky Way,has at least 100 billion stars.Some planets going around these stars might be similar to the Earth.”
In the past,it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe.But now,powerful telescopes(高倍望远镜) allow scientists to discover smaller planets—the size of Mars or the Earth—in other solar systems.These planets might have intelligent life.
Have beings from space already visited the Earth? “Probably not,” says Shostak.“It's a long way away.However,intelligent beings may contact us in other ways,such as radio signals(信号).In fact,they may be trying to communicate with us now,but we don't have the right tools to receive their messages.However,this is changing.By 2025,we could make contact with other life__forms in our universe and we might help each other.”
( )36.Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are ________.
A.astronomers B.farmers C.singers D.drivers
( )37.What is the best title for Paragraph 2?
A.The Age and Size of the Earth
B.Our Galaxy: The Milky Way
C.Why Intelligent Life Might Exist
D.The Earth: The Only Planet with Intelligent Life
( )38.Why was it hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe in the past?
A.Because there were not any smaller planets.
B.Because there were not any powerful telescopes.
C.Because the astronomers were not interested in them.
D.Because the Milky Way didn't exist at that time.
( )39.Why haven't beings from space visited us yet according to Shostak?
A.Because they're afraid of us.
B.Because it's a long way away.
C.Because they don't want to see us.
D.Because they don't know how to use radio signals.
( )40.What does the underlined phrase “life forms” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Messages. B.Tools. C.Intelligent beings. D.Radio signals.

阅读下面短文,根据短文内容,判断短文对错。
There are some things amazing in the world. Have you ever watched one of these coral islands(珊瑚岛). They teach us a lesson.
In the sea there are many islands. In its warm waters there are some little ones. We call them“coral islands”.
A coral island is very nice to look at. It looks like a ring of land with trees, grass and flowers on it. One part of the ring is open to the water. There is a little round lake inside the island.
If you look into this lake, you will see beautiful coral(珊瑚). You may think they are flowers. If you look at a piece of coral, you will see many little holes in it. A very small sea animal has lived in each of these holes. These sea animals make the coral.
They began to build under the water. Year after year, the coral grew higher and higher. At last it grew out of the water.
Then the sea brought it small trees and something else. After some years, these things changed into earth. Sometimes the wind brought seeds(种子)to this earth. Sometimes birds flew over it and brought seeds to the island.
The little seeds grew. In a few years there were plants all over the island. In a few more years there were trees growing there.
So you see, these islands were built little by little. The workers were very small.

I found a red jacket on the school playground. I think it can't be Lily's because she doesn't like wearing jackets.She likes wearing different kinds of dresses.It can't belong to Ann because she doesn't like red. She likes purple well. It can't be Mary's because it's too much big for her.She is thin and short.It might be Carol because she was playing volleyball with her friends on the playground.Oh,Jean's name is on the jacket.And red is her favorite color.The jacket must be hers.
