Scott Kraus and Moira Brown were in Canada，eating pizza with some coworkers．Suddenly，the restaurant’s owner came into the dining room and asked，“Is there a Scott Kraus? There’s a phone call for you．They were in southern Nova Scotia，about l50 kilometers(93 miles)southeast of Main It was practically the middle of nowhere，Kraus thought .Wh0 could possibly know he was there，and what could be so important？

After taking the call，he returned with terrible news．A dead right whale had been seen near Grand Manan island，on the western side of the Bay of Fundy．This is near the border between Maine and Canada．

Kraus and Brown are biologists with the New England Aquarium in Boston．They study the North Atlantic right whale，one of the world’s rarest species．Some travel along the coastlines of North America, others live off Europe．Together，their numbers totaled fewer than 350 in l 992，so losing even one was troubling．

The next mornin9，the scientists set sail to view the whale，hoping they could figure out how it died．As her carcass came into view，they sadly recognized that they knew this whale．It was one they had earlier named Delilah．

It appeared the l3一meter-long animal had been accidentally hit by one of the ships that regularly salt through the Bay of Fundy．The biggest ones can be as tall as l0一story buildings，span more than 300 meters and weigh tens of thousands of tons．These ships cruise much faster than a 37metric-ton right whale can swim．

Later that day，one storekeeper brought out pictures he had taken .The biologists could make out a small baby whale in the photos．It had been swimming beside Delilah’s body．

1．How did Kraus probably feel when hearing about a call for him?

A. Confused． B. Delighted． C Calm． D.．Angry．

2．The underlined word“carcass”in the fourth paragraph probably means “_______”

A. clear picture B. dead body C baby whale D.．detailed reD0rt

3．According to the passage，we can know that．

A. the biggest right whale can be as tall as l0．story buildings

B．right whales only live off America

C. Delilah is a whale trained by biologists

D．Nova Scotia is a remote place in Canada

4．Delilah must have been killed by．

A. shortage of food B. water pollution ． C. a passing ship D．whale killers

Beets(甜菜)are a tasty root Vegetable that do not require much work in the garden．People might think beets are always dark red．But they can also be pink, yellow or white．Beets with circles of red and white inside are known as candy cane．

Beets can be eaten fresh or frozen，canned Or pickled(腌制)．And not just the root but also the tops can be eaten. The leaves make good salads when the plants are youn9，and the greens can be cooked when the plants are older．

Beets like cool temperatures，between sixteen and eighteen degrees Celsius．They grow best in full sun and in loose soil that is not too wet．

Beet seeds can be planted as soon as the soil is able to be worked at the start of the growing season Planting them every two to three weeks will divide a continuous harvest into the fall．

A beet seed is a fruit containing several seeds．Overcrowding the plants will mean that the roots cannot spread out and grow．Thin the beets by removing the smaller ones．These can be used as greens．

Cindy Haynes says little or no fertilizer is needed in fertile soils．But once the 8eeds arc planted，she does suggest covering the soil with a little mulch(覆盖层)。protect it during rains and dry periods．She also suggests putting a fence around the plants to keep away rabbits and deer．

She says the only work needed once beets have been thinned is weeding and 'when the weather is dry，a weekly watering.

Remember that goals are dreams with a timetable．Our goals are important for US to create what enriches our life．A very common attitude among people who are successful is that their success lies in their ability to provide themselves goals that are both numerous and excitin9．When you think about

your future，you are helping to feed a long-term goal of what you want to create．

To realize your dreams，you must translate your vision into a series of actions you call take as soon as possible． You should be able to measure these results·to make sure they take you wherever you want．And this step should not be viewed lightly! Indeed，very few people set goals and concrete actions for themselves to achieve．Very few people note what they want to accomplish，and know each day whether they have indeed advanced in the direction of their dreams．

Therefore one of the secrets that you can get results from is to write down your goals on paper first．When you give your dreams a form，they become more concrete，and you can refer to them often and easily．Whenever you read the dreams that you note down，you fill your mind with positive and motivational thoughts．

Unfortunately，many people stop there．They just simply make wishes，hope and wait．These people do not bring positive difference in their lives．because that sort of behavior is just wishful thinking．Success is not at all a miracle．It depends on clear and realistic targets through serious thoughts：concrete actions and perseverance．Don’t forget，your past does not determine your future Only your now is your potential ！

12．People can achieve success commonly in that they______．

A..have many dreams B．arc well-informed of how goals go

C. think a lot about their bright future D．know what the goals are in their life

13．If you put down your goals on the paper，you can______

A．mention them easily to others B．know clearly what should be done

C .measure the results of the goals easily D．make them accomplished smoothly

14．The last paragraph mainly tells that______．

A. having dreams is very important to everyone B.most people can make a difference in their life

C what people did in the past affects what they are today

D．to translate goals into concrete actions is important for success

15．What is the best title for the passage?

A. The Power of Your Goals B .The Process of Making Goals

C .The Path towards Your Targets D. The Importance of Your Success

Foreign fast food is so popular in China that many students like eating it ,They like

eating in fast-food restaurants because of them are clean and the service is fast and convenient．But fast food has too much salt, sugar and fat ,and eating it too much is bad for people’s heath．

Although the fast food is not very healthy to us ,I like it because it is quite different from Chinese food and it tastes good．When we hold a party , we usually choose eating there．But I don’t think it’s all right to eat foreign fast food very often．If we eat it only once a month ,that would be fine．
