Many people think the dinosaurs(恐龙) were the biggest animals that ever lived. They are wrong. The world’s biggest animal is still living and it lives in the ocean(海洋). It is the blue whale(鲸鱼). Blue whales can be as long as 30 meters and weigh as much as 1,000 kilos. The largest dinosaurs weighed only 500 kilos.
The whale is not only the world’s biggest animal; it is also one of the cleverest. We know that whales can talk with each other, but we do not know what they are saying. Maybe one day we will learn how to talk with whales, and then they will be able to tell us about themselves.
Whales live in the ocean, but they don’t lay eggs like fish do. They are mammals(哺乳动物). They give birth to babies and have milk inside their own bodies to feed them. Humans are also mammals.
Sadly, there are not many kinds of whales left. People have killed them for food and other things for a long time. Now there are laws to stop people killing most kinds of whales. So maybe there will be more of them in years to come.
Which picture show the correct size of the largest whale?

The underlined word “lay” in the Paragraph 3 means .

A．放置

B．躺下

C．打赌

D．产卵

There are not many kinds of whales left because .

A．they don’t lay eggs

B．people have killed them

C．they live in the ocean

D．there are laws against them

The article mainly talks about .

A．the world’s biggest animal

Habits in Russia

There is an old saying that says when in Rome， do as the Romans do． I learned the meaning of this when I stayed in Russia as a visiting scholar（学者）．

One day I invited some of my Chinese friends to a famous local restaurant in Moscow． My guests and I were excited about our meeting． We had a lively talk until the waiter told me that we were too loud． We lowered（降低）our voices．（38）　　The waiter came over to us two more times with the same message．

How bad an impression（印象）we must have left on the local people! In China，it's natural and important for a host（主人）to make a lively atmosphere（气氛）． However， in Russia and Western countries， having a meal in a public place means you must keep your voice low． You need to be polite to others．

I felt bad about this．（39）　　

（40）　　 My Russian friend Andrey always looks around and thinks for a while before leaving home． I asked him why he did this． "Aha，" Andrey said， "In Russia， people always spend about a minute going over things and plans in their minds before leaving home．（41）　　 "

Finding the differences between cultures is so much fun． I like to keep my eyes and mind open．

A．	But this didn't last long．
B．	Russians have their own special habits， too．
C．	Russian people are usually careful and polite．
D．	So they won't leave anything necessary behind．
E．	Luckily， people usually do not pay much attention to that in Russia．

F． Even though we tried our best， it's very difficult to fight against habits．

This morning I got an email from Roy． It seems that my boy really enjoys his new life at Harvard University．

The email made me think of the first day when we moved into this house．

Little Roy ran around the new house with great excitement and tried to move his own things into the house such as his toys， books and clothes． Suddenly his little hand knocked over a bottle of paint on the shelf． The paint made the tidy floor and white wall a terrible mess． "Oh，my God!" My wife rushed in angrily． I looked at my son， and his small face was filled with fear．

I smiled and held his hand， "Take it easy，Roy．Now let's do something to make it look nice．" I took out a brush．" You see， Dad is a magician． I can change it into a big tree．"

His mother soon joined us and helped paint some flowers on the wall．

We spent the whole afternoon painting and laughing． The wall became a beautiful forest with plants， birds and small animals． Blue sky and white clouds were also painted by Roy． On that day， everyone in the house knew something special happened．

The night before Roy left for Harvard， he asked me if I still remembered the day when he had knocked over the paint． "Since then I've never worried about making mistakes，" he continued， "I believe I can always find out ways to solve the problems．"

That's for sure． Mistakes are unavoidable． Making mistakes is part of life． When we make a mistake， what we shouldn't do is to run away from it． The mistake can be valuable if we can make full use of it． In fact， our attitudes （态度） towards them may make a difference．

Get off the sofa!

Eat healthy food!

It is important to eat food that is fresh and natural， for example， fruit and vegetables． Fast food is not healthy． You should only have itonce in a while． Eating too much of the wrong food will harm your health．

Rest while you can!

When we were babies， we slept for much of the night． Teenagers do not need as much sleep as babies， but it is important for you to get about eight hours' sleep a night． At weekends， you have got more time， so use it not just for your friends， but for rest too．
