阅读短文,回答问题

    Because of Disney's film Finding Nemo, the clownfish (小丑鱼) are facing the danger of dying out. The film received positive reviews and won the Acaden Award for Best Animated Feature. It was a success as it earned over $864 million worldwide.

    Finding Nemo is about a clownfish who tried to save his son who has been caught by a man from becoming a pet. One thing we can learn from the film is that wild animals really have to remain in their habitats(栖息地). However, the message seems not to be stuck in the minds of children. The clownfish are facing the danger of dying out several years after the animated film was on, because the film itself made them the must — have pets for kids all over the world!

    It is said that just half of needs can be met by clownfish bred in captivity(人工饲养),which means the rest have to be taken from the sea. Now the average(平均的) size of clownfish schools (鱼群) in Australia, has decreased from twenty-five members to just six, making it harder for them to breed. Dr Billy Sinclair who has spent five years studying the clownfish was the first to raise the alarm, “The film did much to educate children about sea life but the fish were then sold as children's pets. My message to kids who loved the film is simple: Tell your parents to leave Nemo in the sea where it belongs.”

(1)、The clownfish aren't facing the danger of dying out, are they?

(2)、How much did the film Finding Nemo to earn worldwide?

(3)、What does the word  decreased  mean in Chinese?

(4)、Does Dr Billy Sinclair agree or disagree that people keep clownfish as pets?

(5)、What is the main idea of the passage?

    Britons are well known for drinking tea. The average (典型的) person in the UK drinks around 1.9 kg of tea every year. That's around 876 cups of tea. Tea is drunk by all levels of society. But tea does not grow in Britain. Most tea grows in India and China. So, how did it become an important part of British culture?

    Tea arrived in London in the 1600s. At this time, British ships were exploring the world and came across the drink in China. It was not long before green tea could be bought from the market. However, it was only for the rich people.

    At the beginning of the 1700s, the amount (数量) of tea arriving in Britain increased rapidly. Black tea arrived at this time. At first this tea served exactly as it was in China. They soon discovered that it mixed really well with a little milk and sugar, giving the drink a special British colour.

    In the 1800s, tea was still a product enjoyed only by people with money. At this time, they began to have "afternoon tea". They drank tea with a snack around 4 pm to avoid feeling hungry between lunch and dinner. It is a still going today but has become less popular in recent times.

Answer the questions.

    Instead of studying abroad during college, more and more Chinese teenagers have chosen to do so as early as in high school, Students from China make up about 42 per-cent of the international students at high schools in the US, according to the latest study by the Institute of International Education. So, what is the main attraction for Chinese high school students to study abroad? What is overseas life like?We interviewed several students. Have a look!

    Pan. 15. Moreau Catholic High School in San Francisco, California, US

    In the future, I want to go to college in the US. Studying in high school here will help me get used to college life in the future. Also, I want to improve my English

    Studying here is not easy. Instead of exams like in China, we have more projects in class. For example, we have to make a PPT about a historical figure and then design a creative item for that person, such as a painting.

    Zhao. 15. Unionville High School in Toronto, Canada

    For me, experience matters. It's good to have the experience of living in another country. Unlike other international students, my parents accompanied me, which makes my life here much easier.

    In Canada. I have more time to develop my interests. I can choose classes I like.

    However, taking the entrance examinations to high school and college at home would be great. It's a shame that I have no chance to do that.

    Zheng. 14. Walsh Jesuit High School in Cleveland, Ohio. US

    I want to try different cultures and education styles. Two years ago, I visited some famous universities in Boston, such as Harvard and MIT. The academic atmosphere(学术氛围) deeply impressed me. Every student seems to spare no effort on academics. I saw students doing morning exercise everywhere and I watched a football game. I found that school life in the US was colorful. So I decided to study in the US.
