    There are all kinds of animals on our planet. Some are sweet, but some are not; some are small, and some are tall. Here are four pictures of some of the funniest, friendliest faces. But remember, although they look nice, it doesn't mean they are always friendly.

    Not all dogs are so cute, but most of them are pretty friendly. When you come near an unfamiliar(不熟悉的) dog, remember to hold out your hand, so he can smell you and see that you mean no harm.

    Cows love to eat grass, and they eat quite a lot! You needn't be afraid of this quiet farm animal. But don't run at a cow in a field or touch one, unless you are told by an adult it's okay.

    Horses are big, beautiful animals, but they can be easily angry. A horse might jump up if she hears a loud noise, or kick her legs if you come near too suddenly. All horses, like humans, are different.

    Chimpanzees(黑猩猩) make funny faces and put on a real show at the zoo, but believe it or not, they can be very dangerous. And they are strong too--much stronger than humans--so you should never make a chimp mad!

(1)、Which of the animals can make faces?
A、Cows. B、Chimpanzees. C、Dogs. D、Horses.
(2)、We can learn from the text that        .
A、cows are quiet B、all dogs are cute C、horses never kick D、chimpanzees are not dangerous
(3)、According to the passage, you should         when you come near an unfamiliar dog.
A、feed him something B、shout at him C、touch his head D、hold out your hand
(4)、The author wants to tell us that      .
A、some animals are sweet, but they are small B、some animals are not sweet, but they are tall C、some animals are funny, but they are not beautiful D、some animals look nice, but they are not always friendly
举一反三
阅读下面短文,根据短文内容,完成下列各题。

    You must have remembered the story from your childhood: an old man was worried about his sons because they always quarreled with each other. So one day he asked them to break a bundle(捆) of chopsticks tied together. Clearly, none of them could. But when the bundle was untied, they were able to break each chopstick easily. Why? This is because of the power of unity(团结).

    Dr. John Maxwell, in his book Success Journey says that every success is not something you can achieve alone. Think about it —if at the end of all the achievements, you find yourself alone, will you call it success in a real sense? It is known to all of us that success always belongs to unity. But we often seem to forget it when it comes to individual(个人的) success. Most of us consider our success as a personal thing.

    Your dream and your success do not belong to you alone. Even though you work hard towards your dream, there are people who are working behind you to make sure that you are able to give yourself a hundred percent energy.

    Do you think that it is possible without unity? Don't you feel that these people are doing their best so that you can be successful? And so, unity plays an important role, even if you are talking about your personal success. Just like those chopsticks, they can't be broken only when they are tied together.

    So, it is your responsibility to keep unity if you really want to be successful in your trip. Only if you always treat things and people seriously, you will succeed because all the things and people around you have connections in some way.

It is true that people with better education* are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don't. It seems that the purpose* of education is to make people get jobs. But not all the people agree with this idea.

Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education in order to make more money in the future. This was probably one of the earliest purposes of education. In fact, if education is just a way to make a living, people don't need to spend so much time in school. They can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. And people don't have to learn maths and languages so carefully. So it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.

So what is education for? Education is well-rounded and it should improve a man in many ways. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative* thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all, take an interest in the world.

I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the only reason.
