One day, while his mother was out hunting, the gray cub (幼兽) found the way out of the cave (洞穴). At first, he was afraid. But the need to know and understand was greater than his fear, so he went out. He soon learnt that the floor of the world was not flat like the floor of the cave. And he fell, screaming in fear.
But he soon sat up, and started walking and looking around him. He met a squirrel, and a woodpecker, both of which moved away from him. So he learned that the world had things that stayed in one place, and other things that moved.
He had beginner’s luck when he fell into a ptarmigan’s nest. In the nest were seven chicks. He realized this was meat, like his mother gave him. So he ate them all. As he walked away from the nest, the mother ptarmigan (雷鸟) attacked him. He fought back, biting her wing with his small teeth. He was excited and happy. He was fighting for meat, fighting to kill. It was what wolves did. He learnt another important lesson.
Then he left the ptarmigan free and rested. As he watched her, something rushed down from above him, picked up the ptarmigan and flew back up into the sky. It was an eagle.
He was learning. Live things were meat, but if they were big enough, live things could also hurt. It was better to eat small live things.
Later something small jumped in front of him, so he put his paw on it. It was a young weasel (鼬鼠). It made strange noises, and soon the mother weasel appeared. She jumped at his neck and bit him with sharp teeth. She wasn’t big, but he didn’t know how dangerous weasels were.
Suddenly she jumped, and bit into his throat. He tried to fight, but the weasel held on. The cub was sure to die, but luckily his mother, the she-wolf, heard his frightened calls and came to save him.

Everything was fine for a few days until one afternoon there was a strange bumping noise on a window. Emily went outside and found a small bird dead on the grass. Its neck seemed to be broken.
“It must have flown into the window,” Alex said when his sister Emily called him to have a look. “Ah, yes, look here. You can see the mark where it hit the window. There are a couple of tiny feathers stuck(粘贴) on the window.”
“Poor thing!” Emily said.
During the next month, five more birds died in the same way. “Why would they fly to the windows?” they wondered. Finally they found out the truth. When the birds were flying, they couldn’t see into the rooms. All they saw was the reflection(反射) of the garden. They thought that they were flying into trees because they saw trees reflected by the window.
“Something has to be done to save the birds.” the parents decided.
At first, he family tried keeping curtains（窗帘）across the windows, but this made the room dark. Then they bought some strong black paper and cut out the shape of a hawk.

【推荐3】My father was German, but he worked in England. He married my mother, who was English. Her family name was Robinson, so when I was born in 1632 in England, they called me Robinson, after her.
My father did well in his business and I went to a good school. He wanted me to get a good job, and live a quiet, pleasant life. But I wanted adventure and an exciting life.
“I want to be a sailor and go to sea”, I told my mother and father. They were very unhappy about this.
“Please don’t go.” my father said, “You won’t be happy you know. Sailors have a difficult and dangerous life.” And because I loved him, and he was unhappy, I tried to forget about the sea.
But I couldn’t forget, and about a year later, I saw a friend in town. His father had a ship and my friend said to me, “We are sailing to London tomorrow. Why don’t you go with us?”
On September 1, 1651, I went to Hull and the next day we sailed for London.
But, a few days later, there was a strong wind. The sea was rough and dangerous, and the ship went up and down, up and down. I was very ill, and was very afraid.
“Oh, I don’t want to die!” I cried, “I want to live! If I live, I will go home and never go to sea again!”
The next day the wind stopped, and the sea was quiet and beautiful again.
“Well, Robinson,” my friend laughed, “How do you feel now? The wind wasn’t too bad.”
“What!” I cried. “It was a terrible storm.”
“Oh, that wasn’t a storm,” my friend answered, “Just a little wind. Forget it, come and have a drink.”
After a few drinks with my friend, I felt better. I forgot about the danger, and made up my mind not to go home. I didn’t want my friend and family to laugh at me!
I stayed in London for some time, but I still wanted to go to the sea. So, when the captain of a ship asked me to go with him to Guinea in Africa, I agreed. And so I went to the sea for the second time.
It was a good ship, and everything went well at first, but I was very ill again. Then when we were near the Canary Islands, a Turkish pirate (海盗) ship came after us. They were famous thieves of the sea at that time. There was a long, hard fight, but when it finished, we and the ship were prisoners. The Turkish captain and his men took us to Sallee in Morocco. They wanted to sell us as slaves (奴隶) in the market. But in the end, the Turkish captain decided to keep me for himself, and took me home with him. This was a sudden and terrible change in my life.

【推荐1】I like walking near Mr. Groll’s garden with Cho every morning. But I don’t like it either.
I like it because the flowers are very beautiful. I dislike it because of Mr. Groll. “Hello, Mr. Groll.” I say to him every morning. But he does not answer me.
He likes flowers. I like flowers, too. Why can’t we be friends? It’s a mystery to me.
Maybe he’s afraid of me because I can’t see anything. But he likes playing with my friend Jim. Jim is in a wheelchair (轮椅).
Well, why doesn’t he talk to me? Maybe he doesn’t like me because I’m a girl.
“Hello, Mai and Cho!” my friend Jane shouts. “Hi, Mr. Groll.”
I wait. But he answers, “Hello, Jane!”
Now I know something: Unfriendly Mr. Groll likes Jim and Jane. But not me and Cho…
Me and Cho! Cho! Maybe I know the answer!
I tie (系；绑) Cho to a tree and feel my way along the fence (围栏).
“Mai! Be careful!” Mr. Groll shouts at me.
I’m surprised. “My Cho makes you afraid. It isn’t because I am blind or a girl that you don’t like me.”
“Yes, I like you, Mai. And Cho, too. But a German shepherd dog is too big.”
“But friendship is bigger. Come with me.”
I hear a smile in Mr. Groll’s words. “OK,” he says, “my friend.”
Friend, he calls me.
“Yes! ______▲______!” They both smiled.
Then, I take him to Cho. Slowly, Mr. Groll touches Cho’s ears. Cho shakes her tail, showing her friendliness and kindness.
And now I know the answer.
Our new friendship begins.

①When I was a university teacher in Ningbo, I told my students that it would be wise to keep their smartphones in their backpacks. They were young adults. I didn’t want to take their property（财产）, nor could I shout at them. You can guess what happened. Some students were polite, using their phones between activities. Others would rudely text（发短 信）their friends during lessons, sometimes even while I talked to them individually. One young woman, K, openly played a game at her desk with earphones!
②I began to think my class was boring （probably true） and that my students hated me （I could understand）. But what could I do? I couldn’t fail every student. Maybe I was just being a crazy old person.
③With all the recent talks about banning（禁止）smartphones at schools, you might think I’m in favor. I’m actually not so sure. This technology isn’t going away. Teachers probably need to adjust（调整）as much as students.
④I designed（设计）activities to force more participation, using pens and paper and moving around the room to talk to classmates. It kind of worked! I also found ways to use their phones. Things like research, translation and creative projects. I found that my students worked hardest on these activities.
⑤Phones might not be the biggest problem. Once, walking on campus, I saw K standing alone in the dark. I could see her face lit up by her mobile game. Maybe smartphone addiction（上瘾）at school is a sign of loneliness or a boring teacher.
1. Which of the following shows the structure（结构）of the passage?A． | B． | C． | D． |
a. How the author（作者）treated his students. .
b. Why the author supported the idea of banning smartphones in schools.
c. What all the students looked at on their phones in the author’s class.
d. How students used their phones in the author’s class.
| A．ad | B．bc | C．ac | D．bd |
| A．Me forced his students to use pens and paper. |
| B．He took his students’ phones away before class. |
| C．He designed activities to get more students to take part in. |
| D．He talked to students who used their phones in class. |

| C．Smartphones should not be banned in universities. |
| D．Smartphone addiction might have some deeper causes. |
【推荐3】I didn’t like dogs before, but I am happy to have one now. Do you know why?
About two years ago, my wife, Cathy, got a little dog with a face only the dog’s mother could love. We named her Gertie.
My wife sent her to be trained（训练）in a school. But this didn’t go as planned. After only 2 weeks, she was made to leave the school. She had to spend every night with us in our bed—snoring—so loudly that I couldn’t get a good sleep. In the morning, my wife always let me walk Gertie. When I was free, Gertie always played with me.
Then, about six months after Gertie arrived. I felt that something in my heart was changing, and I was unable to stop it. I began to smile at people when I saw them in the street. I started calling my children, and to my surprise, they started calling me, too. I even tried to talk with my grandchildren over the phone. My wife and I both think that it is Gertie who has changed me.
Gertie is now nearly two years old and I love it very much.
