1.WELLINGTON,New Zealand (AP)----About 140 pilot whales that stranded(使…搁浅) themselves on a remote stretch of New Zealand beach have died,but conservation workers and volunteers are hoping the remaining 60 or so will survive after they managed to get them refloated,an official said Saturday.
The geography of Farewell Spit on the South Island seems to work against whales,which regularly become stranded there.The stranding of 198whales on Friday was one of the largest in recent years and inspired 80 workers and volunteers to help out.
By late Saturday,140 of the whales had died,said Department of Conservation area manager Andrew Lamason.
He said the workers and volunteers worked throughout the day to keep the surviving whales watered and covered before refloating them during Saturday night's high tide.
"We've had a really good crew of volunteers,and people have been wanting to come from all over the country,"Lamason said.
He said the surviving whales had moved to deeper water.But he cautioned that although hopes for their survival were high,whales had been refloated in the past only to return and get stranded again.
Lamason said the scale(规模) of the stranding has been tough on the helpers,both physically and mentally.
"It's very sad,they're very intelligent animals,"he said."The common view is that it's part of nature."
The focus will now turn to the dead whales,and the enormous task of dealing with the remains,Lamason said,adding that in the past helpers have typically buried them in the sand,but that he's not sure what the approach will be this time.
He said the department had been experimenting with moving the the dead whales into the water,which has the advantage of providing food for other sea creatures.

28.What is the exact number of whales stranded last Friday.A
A.198.
B.140.
C.80.
D.60.
29.Why did the volunteers have to wait until Saturday before they could refloat the whales.C
A.Because they were very busy on Friday.
B.Because the whales were too intelligent.
C.Because they had to wait for the sea water to rise.
D.Because the whales were buried deep in the sand.
30.Which of the following words can be used to describe Lamason's attitude towards the result of refloating the whales.B
A.Optimistic.
B.Doubtful.
C.Positive.
D.Careless.
31.How will the volunteers deal with the dead whales this time according to Lamason?B
A.They will bury them in the sand.
B.They do not have any exact idea yet.
C.They will throw them into the ocean.
D.They will feed them to other sea creatures.

10.When Charles Lee handed me the small notebook,he changed my life.It was a one-week homestay before college began and I was staying with Charles in his cottage."You are young and doing a lot of exciting things,"Charles said."But I promise,you will forget them if you don't write them down."
I took his advice.I wrote in the notebook every day during the homestay.Back in London,I recorded weekend trips,commented on my school and compared my life at a small college with my wandering through the streets of London.When I wrote in the notebook,I once struggled with a sense of my audience and purpose.Who would read this?Was there some purpose for this daily exercise?Later,I developed a sense of vision for the task.I was recording events and thoughts that were important to my life.I wondered where I would be,what my life would be like.I continued writing in notebooks for four decades.They filled two boxes in my garage.
Recently,I decided to open my notebook boxes and replay my life.As I opened the first box,I suddenly felt there was a risk in opening that first notebook.Would I like the former me recorded on those pages?I did it anyway.The pages showed highlights from college classes and stories about friends.I read anxious comments.I reflected on my coming wedding,and the proud moments when I held each of my daughters.And I recorded more trips.
These writings formed a continuous thread through my life,a connection between my past,present,and future.It took several long evenings to read through the notebooks,taking me on a 42-year retrospective (怀旧) tour.It was then I realized:I am now the person I was writing to throughout those years.

25.The author began writing on his notebookD.
A.after he entered college
B.after he parted from Charles
C.when he was back in London
D.when he was on a homestay program

A.Events important to his life.
B.The future life in four decades.
C.The person who would read this.
D.The purpose for which he wrote this.
27.How did the author feel before he opened the first box?B
A.Anxious.B.Nervous.C.Relaxed.D.Proud.
28.What may be the best title for the text?C
A.A Person I Wish to be

11.The decisions that we make shape us throughout our lives.No matter what decisions we make,good or had,each one puts us on a new road in the future.Make a had decision?No problem.Learn from the decision and make another decision to get on a different path.This is advice that I got from Tony Robbins in his hook Awaken the Giant Within.This is a hook that I recommend to anyone wanting to develop a fire within to make changes in their life.It helped me to understand how fear of making poor choices was hindering me from becoming the great man who I am today.Now I am not saying that I am a well-known person in any particular circle.But I am the king of my castle working hard and trying to make good decisions in regard to the paths that I have chosen.I am a great man in the eyes of my wife and my children.And that is all the recognition that I need in my lifetime.And I know that my past failures have been the building block that I continue to use to build my career and self-image in my community that I live in.
Ben Lerer,cofounder and CEO of Thrillist Wedia Group,is a good example of this.In an article on the Fast Company website.Lerer talks about this very subject.He says,"I've had to make some really tough decisions hut finally,I think the best companies are those that can recognize when something isn't going right,and fix it,instesd of just turning a blind eye because it's easier."Great people make decisions.When a decision does not have the desired result,make a different decision.It does not get any simpler than that.

29.From Tony Robbins'book Awaken the Giant Within,the writer knewD
A.making a had decision is very terrible
