Then one day, a 37 picked him up and threw him on an open field under the sun. He was 38 , thinking, "Why would a wind do such a thing?" But 39 any pleasant answers, he was 40 with sunlight as well as 41 , sometimes light and sometimes heavy. Time flew by and years later, he saw a 42 sitting by his side. "Thank God for this.

Scientists in Canada say big fish have almost disappeared from the world since the start of industrial（产业的） fishing in the 1950s. The scientists found the numbers of some kinds of large fish have dropped by ninety percent in the past fifty years. The study took ten years. The researchers gathered records from fishing businesses and governments around the world. The magazine Nature published the findings. The scientists say the common method called long line fishing ravages the populations of large fish. This method involves many fishing lines connected to one boat. These wires can be nearly one hundred kilometers long. They hold thousands of sharp metal hooks to catch fish. Long line fishing is especially common in the Japanese fishing industry. Records showed that Japanese boats used to catch about ten fish for every one hundred hooks. But long line fishing boats now might only catch one fish per hundred hooks. The scientists say industrial fishing can destroy groups of fish much faster than in the past. The study suggests that whole populations can disappear almost completely from new fishing areas within ten to fifteen years. Ransom Myers and Boris Worm of Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia led the study with the University of Kiel in Germany. Worm says the destruction could lead to a complete reorganization of ocean life systems. Meyers says the decreased numbers of large fish are not the only worry. He says even populations that are able to reproduce do not get the chance to live long enough to grow as big as their ancestors. He says not only are there fewer big fish, but also they are smaller than those of the past. It’s the end of this program ,Thank you for your listening. 1.What’s the best title for the passage? A. Big fish are disappearing B. Long—line fishing in Japan C. The harm of industrial fishing D. Stop killing big fish 2.Which of the following DOESN’T show that the populations of big fish are smaller than before? A. Fish can disappear almost completely from new fishing areas. B. Now long—line fishing boats might catch one fish per hundred hooks. C. Fish now don’t have the chance to grow big enough. D. Scientists spent ten years studying the populations of large fish. 3.What can we learn from the passage? A. The number of big fish started to drop greatly about fifty years ago. B. The study was started by Boris Worm of Dalhousie alone. C. There will be no big fish left in fifty years . D. Japaneses people have stopped catching big fish.

On Saturday nights, A.J.Coston doesn’t get a lot of sleep. Usually three or four times a night, a loud bell rings, a red light flashes, and he has to jump out of his bed. That’s because he’s a weekend volunteer firefighter（消防员）with Loudoun County Fire and Rescue Station 13 in Northern Virginia. During the week, he lives at home with his mom, dad and sister and does his main job which is going to high school. “I have always wanted to get into firefighting since I was a little kid watching fire trucks go by,” he says. “One day on the Internet I noticed that Loudoun County offered a junior firefighter program.” He was only 16, but he got it.

He will be off to college next fall, building on his dream job. “I’ll get my degree in emergency（紧急情况） medical care. and then work in a fire and rescue company for a while.

After twenty years of shaving（剃须）himself every morning, a man in a small Southern town thought he had enough. He told his wife that he intended to let the local barber shave him each day. He put on his hat and coat and went to the barber shop. The barber's wife, Grace, was working that day, so she performed the task. Grace shaved him, and said, "That will be $20."
