Anna，my 10-year-old daughter，is on a wild ride with the United States Postal Service （USPS） and our mail carrier，Eason.She has a serious letter-writing habit and keeps in contact with her favorite people.If you've been the receiver of her hand-decorated letters and envelopes，then I know they really make your day.
A letter from Anna is likely to include some art，a joke and enough questions to guarantee a response.But when she wrote a letter to Eason，she put something new in it."You may know me as the person living here that writes lots of letters.You're very important to me，helping me stay in touch with friends.I cheer people up with my letters，and you do that too!"Anna wrote.
The next day，a package arrived with two letters.One was from Eason and the other from his superior，Sara，saying she had shared Anna's letter in the internal newsletter（内部通讯） of the USPS and believed many postal folks wanted to thank Anna.Anna was so pleased with the letter that it perturbed me much，for the possible result of no reply from other mail carriers would come as a blow to her.
Surprisingly，today，we saw Eason come with two boxes of letters from around the country.These letters were so human，filled with stories about family，pets and a sense of kindness.But there was something more in them.People felt seen----some for the first time in a long time."I work alone in a small rural post office…""Not many people think about how hard we work…"Anna wrote back seriously.
I'm sharing this not because I'm a proud dad，but because it's relatively easy，if we take the time，to give others links they need to be good.We all want to be seen，known and loved.Send a letter.Give a call.Take a step of bravery，like Anna.
4. Why did Anna write Eason a letter？ ______
A. To make friends with him. B. To cheer him up.
C. To express her appreciation. D. To share her daily life.

C. Courageous and generous. D. Capable and humorous.

C. People should connect with others actively.
D. People should show kindness to their parents.

To write his book about world diet，nutritionist Harley Paster traveled to the healthiest countries around the world to learn more about what made their meals special.
He noted that Japanese people ate a wonderful variety of seaweeds，and that Chinese people tried to include at least five different colors in every meal.Paster also came away with some valuable observations about how different the North American way of life was，compared with many other countries.
For starters，Americans eat much bigger portions than people in other countries."We don't prioritize （优先） eating seasonally or locally，and we also add lots of salt，sugar and thickening agents to our foods，"explained Paster.Contrast that to the healthy Mediterranean，Nordic and Okinawan diets listed in Paster's book.They all seem to stick to the ethos（特质） of regional，seasonal produce.
For example，a traditional Mediterranean diet includes fruits，vegetables，whole grains，nuts and olive oil as the main components of nutritional intake.Fish，chicken and red wine make appropriate appearances，while red meat，salt and sugar are used much less often.The benefits of a traditional Mediterranean diet have been studied since the 1970s，and researchers have found that living that olive oil life can help people lose weight，lower their heart disease risk and reverse diabetes（糖尿病）.Most other healthy eating cultures also make meals an event—say，multiple courses around the family table，or a glass or two of red wine at a long lunch—rather than fast wolfing down handfuls of cereal above the kitchen sink and calling it dinner.
Each of the healthy eating cultures has its own unique feature.But Paster did take note of one unifying factor in all of the healthy societies he observed."The only common feature in most of these healthy countries is that they all walk more than the average American，"said Paster.So really，regardless of what you're eating，if someone's walking four miles more than you each day，they're going to be a lot thinner and live a lot longer than you."
8. What characterizes Japanese and Chinese foods？ ______
A. Naturalness. B. Flavor. C. Color. D. Variety.
9. What features in Mediterranean，Nordic and Okinawan diets？ ______
A. Fruits and vegetables. B. Seasonal local produce.
C. Olive oil and red wine. D. Unprocessed ingredients.
10. What do people in most healthy eating cultures have in common？ ______
A. They get the whole family to eat at a table.
B. They eat their meals regularly as scheduled.
C. They attach great importance to their meals.
D. They consume plenty of cereal for breakfast.
11. Compared with the average American，people in healthy societies ______ .
A. walk at least 4 miles a day B. consume a lot more organic food
C. pay more attention to body shape D. do considerably more walking
D
Black rhinos（犀牛） have terrible eyesight.Even so，these large African animals can fight against hungry lions and hyenas.With big sword-like horns，their large and thick-skinned body plan has proved to be good enough to survive in a place full of huge predators（捕食性动物）.But those protective features are no match for humans with guns.
Today，the species is seriously endangered largely due to illegal hunting.But the rhinos may have an unlikely partner against hunters：the red-billed oxpecker（牛椋鸟）.The chatty，sociable birds often hang out on the backs of rhinos，feasting on the ticks（虱子） on their bodies.
"And actually，research has shown that the tick is the favorite diet of an oxpecker.And if they feed on ticks，that is a good thing，"said Plotz，a behavioral ecologist.He suspected that the rhinos put up with them because the oxpeckers make loud alarm calls whenever they see humans approach--giving the rhinos an early warning to flee.
To test whether the oxpeckers do，in fact，act as noisy lookouts，Plotz and his team placed radio transmitters（发送器） in the rhinos' horns.The researchers found that rhinos without oxpeckers detected an approaching human only 23 percent of the time，at an average distance of 27 meters.But when oxpeckers were present，the birds warned the rhinos 100 percent of the time.And they sensed the human 61 meters away on average.And the more oxpeckers on the scene，the greater the detection distance—which means the earlier the warning.
It makes sense because the more eyes you have on your back，looking out for you，the more chance that you can pick up anything coming.What we think is going on，fundamentally，is that the rhino is listening to the alarm call.There can be no doubt of that.Listening to oxpecker alarm calls brings a really strong anti-human benefit.
Plotz thinks the oxpeckers may have gradually changed and developed their behavior because it protects their convenient food source.And the more lookouts，the better in what seems like a win-win for both species：the birds thrive and the rhinos survive.
12. What can we learn about black rhinos？ ______
A. They have terrible survival skills.
B. They are almost dying out.
C. They mainly feast on ticks.
D. Their biggest threat is lions.
13. Why can black rhinos stand oxpeckers？ ______
A. They can sense danger with the help of the birds.
B. They can do nothing about the tiresome birds.
C. The birds are main food for black rhinos.
D. The birds help rid rhinos of the ticks on their bodies.
14. How does the author show oxpeckers' anti-human benefit？ ______
A. By giving an example. B. By telling a story.
C. By listing some data. D. By asking a question.
15. What's the text mainly about？ ______
A. The reason for black rhinos' extinction.
B. Measures possible to protect black rhinos.
C. Some facts related to red-billed oxpeckers.
D. A win-win for black rhinos and oxpeckers.

Over the summer I moved from Texas to Missouri.This was my second year of high school，but my first year of school in Missouri.I was really nervous about starting a new school and having people like me.I decided that I would be much happier in a new school if I made friends that were so-called "popular".Getting in with the right group of people would make my life a whole lot better.I bought a new outfit so the first day would be perfect.
On the first day of school，scared，yet eager to begin my new life，I walked up the stairs.My first class was geometry，but where was that？I was standing in the hall looking confused，when a short，blond girl wearing glasses came up and asked， "Are you new？You look lost.Do you want me to help you find your class？My name is Diane.What's yours？" Even though she seemed a bit strange，definitely not the kind of person I wanted to be associated with，I decided to answer her anyway.I was，after all，lost.
After exchanging names，I followed her up the stairs and down a hallway on the right.When we reached my room she said， "Well，here you are.It was nice meeting you.I hope I see you again and your day goes all right."
I said a quick thank-you and waved good-bye.Once inside the classroom，I saw one big group of people huddled around someone who seemed to be telling some sort of story.I walked over and got close enough to overhear.All eyes were glued to the guy in the middle of the circle.I decided that this guy was popular.
A few minutes later the teacher told everyone to go find a seat and get ready for the class.I managed to get one right next to the guy.I said， "Hi，my name is April and I'm new here." He said coldly， "Hi，I'm Johnny." That class dragged on and on.Finally，the bell rang.I turned to him and asked， "I'm not sure where my next class is，could you help me find it？" He looked at me and then said a quick no，turned back to his friends，and walked out of the classroom.

（3）推理判断题。根据文章第四段The researchers found that rhinos without oxpeckers detected an approaching human only 23 percent of the time，at an average distance of 27 meters.But when oxpeckers were present，the birds warned the rhinos 100 percent of the time.And they sensed the human 61 meters away on average.（研究人员发现，没有牛喙的犀牛发现接近人类的几率只有23%，平均距离为27米。但当有牛椋鸟在场时，这些鸟百分之百地向犀牛发出警告。它们能在平均61米外感知到人类。）可知，作者是通过列举数字来介绍红嘴牛椋鸟的反人类盗猎作用的。故选C。
