| If you've tried and have not won， Never stop for crying； All that' s great and good is done Just by patient trying. Though young birds，in flying，fall， Still their wings grow stronger； And the next time they can keep Up a little longer. |
Though the strong tree has known Many blows of stormy winds， She has risen again，and grown Higher and prouder. If by easy work you beat， Who the more will prize you？ Gaining success from defeat一 That' s the test that tries you! |

Resting my head on Helen's shoulder，I put my arms round her waist（腰）.She drew me to her，and we rested in silence.
We had not sat long before another person came in.Some heavy clouds，swept from the sky by a rising wind，had left the moon bright；and her light，coming in through a window near，shone full both on us and on the coming person，Miss Temple. "I came on purpose to find you，Jane Eyre， " said she. "I want you in my room，and as Helen Burs is with you，she may come too. "
We followed Miss Temple to her apartment.It had a good fire，and looked cheerful.Miss Temple told Helen Burns to be seated in a low arm﹣chair on one side of the fire place，and herself asking another，she called me to her side.
"Is it all over？" she asked，looking down at my face. "Have you cried your sadness away？"
"I am afraid I never shall do that. "
"Why？"
"Because I have been wrongly accused（指责），and you and everybody else，will think me a bad girl. "
"We shall think you what you prove yourself to be，my child.Continue to act as a good girl，and you will satisfy us. "
"Shall I，Miss Temple？"
"You will. "said Miss Temple， "You have been accused of lying when you were little.Tell us the truth，but add nothing and exaggerate（夸大）nothing. "

Many of us stayed at home in January because of COVID﹣19，but a special mom and her two babies took a trip.They were driven a few miles from a breeding center in northeastern Argentina to a 1.7 million﹣acre nature reserve called Gran Ibera Park.There the three jaguars were released into the wild.
Their release was the first reintroduction of jaguars in that part of Argentina since the species（物种）almost died out there 70 years ago.Scientists hope they can turn things around for this important apex predator，meaning one that is on top of the food chain （链）.Only 200 to 300 jaguars remain in the country.
"That is the highest level of protection that can be given in Argentina，"says Sebastian Di Martino.He's the conservation director for Rewilding Argentina，which is one of the organizations helping to restore jaguar populations.
The jaguars' journey started in 2018 when the park was built in the Ibera Wetlands.Several thousand jaguars once lived there，along with other important species.But the jaguars' fur was valuable，so people hunted them.Then farmers cleared the land they lived on.With the jaguars gone，the ecosystem was out of balance.
"In the absence of this species，ecosystems stop working well and may even collapse，" Di Martino says. "The main prey （猎物） of the jaguar is the capybara and the caiman.They are very abundant because of the absence of the jaguar，which causes imbalances in the ecosystem."
The park was the first step to give jaguars a place to live.Then they needed to breed.A female named Mariua mated with a male jaguar from Brazil.Mariua then gave birth to the two baby jaguars.
It sounds simple，but the reality is more complicated.Di Martino said that jaguars born at breeding centers have to learn how to hunt and must not become used to humans.Otherwise，they will not have success in the wild.
The people who work at the breeding center stay out of sight.They use video cameras to watch the jaguars from several miles away."We provide live prey for them，without them realizing it comes from people，" Di Martino said.
Mariua wears a radio collar so researchers can track her and her babies，Karai and Pord. "So far，so good.She's been hunting capybaras and wild pigs and is raising her babies very well，" Di Martino says.
（1）What can we learn about the jaguar？
A.It is found only in Argentina.
B.It is taught to hunt by humans.
C.It is not hunted by any other animal.
D.It is not considered as a rare species.
（2）Which of the following words can best describe Di Martino's job？
A.Exciting.
B.Meaningful.
C.Surprising.
D.Successful.
（3）What does the underlined word "abundant" mean in this passage？
A.More than enough.
B.Less than enough.
C.Getting more powerful.
D.Getting less powerful.
（4）The writer mentioned Mariua .

C.to introduce a way of training jaguars
D.to explain the method of rewilding jaguars
Jason and his father were going to the grocery store by car to pick up some apples.It had been an unusual day.The sky was dark but there were few clouds.As they drove up the street，there started to be a rumbling （隆隆的） sound heard across the ground.
Jason's father immediately realized that a tornado （龙卷风） was coming.He stopped the car and told Jason to get out immediately.Jason and his father got out of the car and made their way to the closest building.By this time the wind was blowing harder，and it was hard to see or hear. Debris was falling all over the place.Jason couldn't see his dad anymore.He also realized that he wasn't getting to the building fast enough.He was afraid he would be picked up by the wind and thrown into the air.

When you and your family go out for dinner，do you notice how many dishes you usually order？It's OK if you finish all of them.But if you waste too much food，you need to pay for it.
Last year，China's top legislature （立法机关）reviewed （审议）a draft law （法律草案）for stopping food waste for the first time.In general，a draft will become law after the top legislature reviews it three times.
According to the draft law，restaurants should tell customers not to order too much.If customers leave too much food uneaten，restaurants can charge （收费）them for food waste.The law also bans （禁止）waiters from encouraging people to order too much food.Some restaurants may use the"N﹣1"mode for people to order dishes."N" stands for the number of persons at a table.So if there are six people at your table，you should order just five dishes，which can help people control the amount of dishes in a proper way.
The draft law also asks schools to teach their students to avoid food waste.It also bans TV programs about overeating and overdrinking.Producers of such programs will face a fine of up to 100，000 yuan.

When I was in the eighth grade，my class was assigned（指派） to be friends with the second﹣grade kids.I got this little girl named Shelley.The first time I saw her，she was silent and cold.She was small for her age，and she didn't play with the other kids in her class.

Dr.Dolittle lived in a small town called Puddleby.Everyone in the town knew him.The dog and children ran after him.
He lived in a small house，but he had a large garden.He kept many animals in his garden.His favorite animals were Dab﹣Dab，a duck；Jip，a dog；Gub﹣Gub，a baby pig and Polynesia，a parrot.He also kept some fish，rabbits，cats，a squirrel，a cow and a baby cow，a horse，chickens and so on.
Dr.Dolittle didn't have many patients.Most people didn't like all of his animals，so when they were ill，they went to a doctor in another town.
"But you don't have any money， "his sister told him. "You need patients."
"I have a patient， " Dr.Dolittle answered， "The cat's﹣meat﹣man.He's the man who sells me meat for the cat."
"He doesn't pay you enough to live on， " his sister told him.
"Then I'll sell everything I have，" he said.
And he did.He sold most of his furniture.He also sold most of his clothes.Then he had enough money to buy food for himself and his animals.
One day，the cat's﹣meat﹣man said to him，" Why don't you stop being a doctor for people and become a doctor for animals instead？I'm sure that you know a lot about animals — more than most vets.You wrote a wonderful book about cats.I'd send all the people with sick dogs or cats to you."
When the cat's﹣meat﹣man left，Polynesia，the parrot，flew onto the table. "He's right，Doctor，" Polynesia said. "You should become an animal doctor."
"There are a lot of vets，" Dr，Dolittle said.
"Perhaps there are a lot of vets.But you'd be the best vet of all.I'm not the only animal that can talk.All the animals can talk.Each kind of animal has its own language.I'll teach you mine if you like."
"Yes，please，" Dr.Dolittle said.He opened a drawer （抽屉） and took out a notebook and pencil. "Will you teach me the parrot's ABCs first？" he asked.
Polynesia agreed to teach Dr.Dolittle parrot language.Later that day，Jip came into the room.Polynesia said， "He's talking to you，Doctor."
"I don't think he is，" Dr.Dolittle said. "He's just cratching（挠） himself."
"Dogs talk with their ears，their noses，and their tails，" Polynesia told him.They don't always make a noise.Do you see how he is moving his nose now？"
"Yes."
"He is telling us that it has stopped raining，and he wants to ask you a question."
Every day，Dr.Dolittle learned the languages of the animals.When people found out he was now an animal doctor，they brought their sick pets to him.
One day，a horse said to him， " You're a much better animal doctor than the vet.You knew I couldn't see well，and you made glasses for me."
The horse was very pleased.He could see very well.He told all his friends how clever Dr.Dolittle was，and they told all their friends.Soon，many animals came to see him.He had a different door for each animal，and he wrote the name of each kind of animal above each door.HORSES，COWS，...
Before long，every animal that lived in or near the town became the doctor's patient.He was very happy，and he liked his life very much.

What would you do if you had trouble seeing clearly？You would probably go to an eye doctor who might give you glasses.For many people around the world，however，such a way isn't that simple.
The World Health Organization reports that glasses can help one billion people in the world.Yet places like Ghana have only one eye doctor every 8 million people. Thismakes glasses almost impossible to get.Joshua Silver，a teacher at Oxford University，however，may have solved the problem.
Mr.Silver has developed liquid（液体）﹣filled glasses that users can adjust（调整） by themselves without seeing a doctor!The lenses（镜片） are filled with oil.Using a dial on the glasses，the user changes the amount of oil.This changes the strength（度数） of the lens.After the user finds the right strength，he then fixes the lens.
Results show that among those who have tried the glasses，around 80% are satisfied.Mr.Silver's goal is for everyone who still needs glasses to have such glasses as soon as possible.With a little more effort，Mr.Silver thinks that his goal might be achieved in the near future.

What do you do with your rubbish？Throw it out？You don't know what you're missing!Look closely at the two figures on your left.They were made from things most people throw away.The figures were made from used bottle caps.Those two bottle﹣cap figures were exhibited （展示） in a museum.
Folk art is art made by common people who have not been trained as artists.Their work is often based on traditions in their culture.Fine art，on the other hand，is usually made by people who have had training in art.Works of fine art are valued for their artistic beauty.They are supposed to be looked at but not used.Works of folk art，however，are often made for everyday use.
There were more than 800 pieces of folk art from nearly 50 countries in the exhibition.All of the pieces were made from used metal，wood，cloth，and plastic.The artists come from many different cultures.Still，they all share one thing.They take objects that are normally thrown away and change them into objects that are beautiful，useful，and fun.The artists may not think of what they do as recycling，but that's exactly what it is.Fine artists might work with expensive materials.They might use expensive tools to shape these materials into works of art.On the other hand，in poor countries rubbish might be the only material folk artists and toy makers can afford.The exhibition shows that a rich imagination is very important when there are only poor materials.Recycled art began long before people began to think about recycling.Some of the objects in the exhibition date from the 1930s.
Even if you don't create art out of rubbish，it's good to save our natural resources.Remember the three rules：reduce，reuse，recycle.If you reduce waste，true things instead of throwing them out，and recycle materials such as paper，plastic，and glass，you will protect the environment.

Durbeyfield sat down upon the grassy land by the roadside，putting his basket before him.In a few minutes，a youth from his village appeared in the distance.On seeing him，Durbeyfield held up his hand，and the boy quickened his steps and came near.
"Boy，take up that basket!I want you to do something for me. "
The skinny boy frowned（皱眉）， "Who are you then，John Durbeyfield，to order me about and call me 'boy'？You know my name as well as I know yours!"
"Do you，do you？That's the secret — That's the secret!Now obey my orders，and Fred，I don't mind telling you that the secret is that I'm one of noble race（贵族） —it has been just found out by me this present afternoon." And as he made the announcement，he luxuriously（奢侈地） lay himself upon the land among the flowers.The boy stood before Durbeyfield，and looked at him from head to foot.
"Sir，John D' Urberville — that's who I am， " continued Durbeyfield. " Do you know such a place as Greenhill？ "
"Yes.I have been there to Greenhill fair（集市）. "
"Well，under the church of that city there lie my ancestors（祖先） —hundreds of them — in coats of jewellery.There is not a man here who's got greater and nobler ancestors than I. "
"Oh？ "
"Now take up that basket，and go on to the Pure Drop Inn，telling them to send a horse and carriage（马车） with a servant（仆人） here quickly，to carry me home.And when you've done that，go on to my house with the basket，and tell my wife to put away that washing，because she needn't finish it，and wait till I come home，as I've news to tell her. "
As the boy stood in doubt，Durbeyfield put his hand into his pocket.And produced a shilling （a unit of money used in Britain until 1971）.
"Here is for your work，son. "
This made a difference.
"Yes，Sir John.Thank you. "
The boy took up the basket and set out at once.
