The Boy Made It! One Sunday,Nicholas,a teenager,went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine．In the early afternoon,when he was planning to go home,a fierce snowstorm swept into the area．Unable to see far,he accidentally turned off the path．Before he knew it,Nicholas was lost,all alone!He didn’t have food,water,a phone,or other supplies．He was getting colder by the minute．
Nicholas had no idea where he was．He tried not to panic．He thought about all of the survival shows he had watched on TV．It was time to put the tips he had learned to use．
He decided to stop skiing．There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put．The first thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow．If he didn’t,his body temperature would get very low,which could quickly kill him．
Using his skis,Nicholas built a snow cave．He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle．Then he piled branches on top of himself,like a blanket,to stay as warm as he could．
By that evening,Nicholas was really hungry．He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t lose too much water．Not knowing how much longer he could last,Nicholas did the only thing he could—he huddled(蜷缩)in his cave and slept．
The next day,Nicholas went out to look for help,but he couldn’t find anyone．He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave,because without shelter,he could die that night．On Tuesday,Nicholas went out again to find help．He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him．After two days stuck in the snow,Nicholas was saved．
Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV．He had often watched Grylls’ survival show ----Man vs．Wild． That’s where he learned the tips that saved his life．In each episode(一期节目) of Man vs．Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out．
When Grylls heard about Nicholas’ amazing deeds,he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive．

The news which the English Entrance Examination will be reformed has caused a big “earthquake” in our country．Many people, included students, are for it．But there are also some people are against it．Then, is it better to do so or not? Personally, I think the reform has between advantages and disadvantages．On the one hand, it can reduce students’ learn burden and enable English to return back to its true function．On the other hand, it will cause students to spend less time on studying English and to attached less importance to English．If so, students will not have a good knowledge of English．What’s more, if students don’t have so a good ability, they will not be able to broaden our horizon and meet the future challenges．

Just a few days ago we stopped our local grocery store to pick up a few things which quickly turned into an entire cart load of stuff．We got into one of the two open checkout lanes and waited our ．While waiting a young man came up behind us with only a few in his basket．I told him to go ahead of us as we were in no ．
He seemed very pleasantly surprised and graciously ．As he began putting his items on the belt the clerk began to her till tape so we had a fairly long wait in line．My kids were very behaved but they were still children; they asked questions, they talked , they moved around and they were generally very entertaining．(To me, anyway．)
I could see the young man watching and listening with a smile on his face．
We were putting our groceries on the when the clerk finished with order．What I didn't know was that he had heard my kids bubble gum．I had agreed they could have some． , he picked up a pack of bubble-gum and asked the clerk to ring it through twice before putting it back．He then told my kids that he bought their gum their mom was enough to let him go ahead in the queue．

Mary is digging in the ground for a photo, when along comes John．Seeing that there is no one in sight, John starts to scream．John’s angry mother rushes over and drives Mary away．Once his mum has gone, John helps himself to Mary’s potato．
We’ve all experienced similar annoying tricks when we were young—the brother who stole your ball and then got you into trouble by telling your parents you had hit him．But Mary and John are not humans．They’re African baboons(狒狒)．__1.___
John’s scream and his mother’s attack on Mary could have been a matter of chance, but John was later seen playing the same tricks on others．__2.___
Studying behavior like this is complicated but scientists discovered apes(猿) clearly showed that they intended to cheat and knew when they themselves had been cheated．___3.___ An ape was annoying him, so he tricked her into going away by pretending he had seen something interesting．When she found nothing, she “walked back, hit me over the head with her hand and ignored me for the rest of the day．”
Another way to decide whether an animal’s behavior is deliberate is to look for actions that are not normal for that animal．A zoo worker describes how an ape dealt with an enemy．“He slowly stole up behind the other ape, walking on tiptoe．When he got close to his enemy, he pushed him violently in the back, then ran indoors．” Wild apes do not normally walk on tiptoe．___4.___ But looking at the many cases of deliberate trickery in apes, it is impossible to explain them all as simple copying．
It seems that trickery does play an important part in ape societies．____5.___ Studying the intelligence of our closest relative could be the way to understand the development of human intelligence．
A． In most cases the animal probably doesn’t know it is cheating．
B． An amusing example of this comes from a psychologist working in Tanzania．
C． And playing tricks is as much a part of monkey behavior as it is of human behavior．
D． So the psychologists asked his colleagues if they had noticed this kind of trickery．
E． The ability of animals to cheat may be a better measure of their intelligence than their use of tools
F． This use of a third individual to achieve a goal is only one of the many tricks commonly used by baboons．
G． Of course it’s possible that it could have learnt from humans that such behavior works, without understanding why．
