Many different tribes live in the Ituri rain forest of Africa, but the Pygmies are the most unusual. Most of the men are not much more than four feet tall. They weigh only about eighty pounds. The women are even smaller and thinner. But in spite of the fact that they are small, these people are perfectly formed men and women.
It is an exciting experience to visit a Pygmy encampment for the first time. Before you go, you must send word ahead that you are coming. Some friendly native or trader must take the message to the Tiki-Tikis. Otherwise the whole tribe will disappear into the depths of the jungle long before you have come close enough to be welcomed.
The great Ituri rain forest seems cut off from the rest of the earth. There are living, dead, and dying trees on every side. Except where a clearing has been burned and chopped out, a man may live his whole life in the Ituri and never see farther than twenty yards.
It takes sharp eyes to discover the almost hidden path to the Pygmy camp. The path is no wider than a small man’s foot. No sound breaks the silence in this part of the forest. There are no signs of people.
The stranger must walk carefully. What appears to be a bent branch may prove to be a deadly snake. A spotted gold patch of sunlight may be a crouching leopard(豹).
Even the Pygmy camp comes as a surprise. The leafy shelters in which the little people live are hardly three feet high. They look so much like the surrounding undergrowth that they might easily be passed by. These houses contain no furniture of any sort. The beds are merely plantain leaves spread out on the earth floor. There are no cooking pots: food is eaten raw or smoked over a fire. Spears, bows and arrows are the only possessions of these people. When the tribe moves to a new camp there is nothing to carry except these weapons and babies too small to walk.
According to the passage, we can conclude _____.
A. the Pygmies are the shortest tribe worldwide
B. the Pygmies are short but normal in mentality
C. most of the Pygmy men are more than four feet
D. the Pygmies live in the forest of America
Paragraph 2 mainly suggests that the Pygmies ______.
A. are unwilling to communicate with people outside
B. are very cruel and they will kill you with the spears
C. are friendly to the tourists visiting them for the first time
D. move so fast and often that can’t be caught up with easily
Which of the following word can describe the life of Pygmy?
A. Quiet. B. Active. C. Hard. D. Busy.
Which of the following is TRUE of the Pygmy?
A. Their houses can’t be easily found in the hurt rain forest.
B. Their houses, which are three feet high, are made of wood.
C. Weapons and cooking pots are their most valuable possessions.
D. They are living in harmony with dangerous animals around.

He met her at a party．She was so outstanding，with many boys around her，while he was so normal, with nobody paying attention to him．
At the end of the party，he invited her to have coffee with him．She was surprised，but due to being polite，she agreed．
They sat in a nice coffee shop．He was too nervous to say anything，and she felt uncomfortable，thinking，“Please let me go home．”
Suddenly he asked the waiter，“Would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee．”
Everybody stared at him——so strange! His face turned red，but，still，he put the salt in his coffee and drank it．
She asked him curiously，“Why do you have this hobby?”
He replied，“When I was a little boy，I was living near the sea．I liked playing in the sea, and I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee．Now every time I have the salty coffee．I always think of my childhood．I miss my hometown so much．I miss my parents who are still living there．”
While saying that tears filled his eyes．She was deeply touched．That's his true feeling，from the bottom of his heart．A man who can tell out his homesickness, he must be a man who loves home, cares about home, and has responsibility of home．
Then she also started to speak，about her faraway hometown，her childhood, her family．That was a really nice talk，also a beautiful beginning of their story．
They continued to date．She found that actually he was a man who meets all her demands；he was kind-hearted, warm and careful．He was such a good person but she almost missed him!
Thanks to his salty coffee! Then the story was just like every beautiful love story，the princess married the prince, then they were living a happy life…And, every time she made coffee for him，she put some salt in the coffee．
After 40 years, he passed away，leaving her a letter which said，“My dearest，please forgive my whole life lie．This was the only lie I said to you—the salty coffee．
“Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous at that time．Actually I wanted some sugar, but I said salt．It was hard for me to change so I just went ahead．
“I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life, but I was too afraid to do that, as I have promised not to lie to you for anything．
“Now I'm dying, I'm afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth：I don't like the salty coffee．What a strange bad taste! But I have had the salty coffee for my whole life!
“Since I knew you, I never feel sorry for anything I do for you．Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life．If I can live for a second time，I still want to know you and have you for my whole life，even though I have to drink the salty coffee again．”
Her tears made the letter totally wet．
Someday，someone asked her,“What's the taste of salty coffee?”“It's sweet，”she replied．
After ordering some salt to put into the coffee, the young man must have felt ．
A．touched B．satisfied C．disappointed D．embarrassed
Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Salt coffee is more delicious and sweeter than sugar coffee．
B．The man ordered the salt coffee in order to create a chance to date with the girl．
C．The man had to have salty coffee all his life to keep his word．
D．The woman hardly believed the man's explanation at their first date．
From the passage we can see that the man is ．
A．caring and kind-hearted B．shy and sly
C．dishonest but responsible D．warm and understanding
It is implied in the passage that the woman _____ when reading the letter left by her husband．
A．was cheated by his husband's behavior B．was touched by his husband's white lie

While watching the Olympics the other night, I came across an unbelievable sight. It was not a gold medal, or a world record broken, but a show of courage.
The event was swimming and started with only three men on the blocks. For one reason or another, two of them false started, so they were disqualified. That left only one to compete. It would have been difficult enough, not having anyone to race against, even though the time on the clock is important.
I watched the man dive off the block and knew right away that something was wrong. I’m not an expert swimmer, but I can tell a good dive from a poor one, and this was not exactly medal quality. When he resurfaced, it was evident that the man was not out for gold – his arms were waving in an attempt at freestyle. The crowd started to laugh. Clearly this man was not a medal competitor.
I listened to the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man who was clearly having a hard time. Finally he made his turn to start back. It was pitiful. He made a few desperate strokes and you could tell he was worn out.
But in those few awful strokes, the crowd had changed.
No longer were they laughing, but beginning to cheer. Some even began to stand and shout “Come on, you can do it!” and he did.
A clear minute past the average swimmer, this young man finally finished his race. The crowd went wild. You would have thought that he had won the gold, and he should have. Even though he recorded one of the slowest times in Olympic history, this man gave more heart than any of the other competitors.
Just a short year ago, he had never even swum, let alone race. His country had been invited to Sydney.
From the passage we can learn that the young man .
A．made his turn to start back pitifully B．was skillful in freestyle in the game
C．swam faster than the average swimmer D．was not capable enough to win the medal
The crowd changed their attitudes because .
A．they felt sorry for the young man B．they were moved by the young man’s courage
C．they wanted to show their sympathy D．they meant to please the young man
What’s the best title for the passage?
A．Compete for Gold! B．Try again! C．Break a Record! D．Go for it!
