The Chinese television reality show called “Wonderful Friends”, where entertainers hug whale sharks, kiss lions, feed pandas and dress up baby chimpanzees, has come under fire from wildlife protectors who want it to be stopped, saying such activities are cruel and are dangerous for both the humans and animals.
The show is the latest hit from Hunan TV, which has attracted more than 196,000 followers. In each show, popular stars are given zoo-keeping tasks that allow them to interact with wild animals in order to bring humans and animals closer together.
Animal welfare advocates(倡导者) say that is exactly what should be avoided. Dave Neale of Animals Asia (an advocacy group) said, “It is hugely misleading to the public about the needs and welfare of captive animals (圈养动物) and putting the animals’ welfare and health at risk.”
“What they don’t realize is that wild animals need space,” said Xie Yan, a zoologist and China director of the Wildlife Conservation Society. “Putting clothes on chimpanzees is not as adorable as you may think from the animals’ point of view. I guess their idea was to get their viewers to love and protect the animals,” Ms. Xie added, “but we do not agree with this approach for entertainment.”
Using famous people to focus public attention on wildlife is a common practice in conservation campaigns. The Chinese basketball legend Yao Ming went to Africa and highlighted the problem of elephant and rhinoceros poaching (偷猎) in the documentary “The End of the Wild”. “But differently, he, as a human observer, kept his distance and was there to see the hard truth of poaching, and that is different from a show created to attract viewers.” Ms Xie said.
Critics (评论家)also argue that the show violates (违反) Chinese wildlife protection laws.
4. Which one of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Many people like the show because of its dangerous activities.
B. Xie Yan is against persuading the public to love and protect animals.
C. Some think the show is against wildlife protection laws of China.
D. The reality show makes no difference to wildlife at all.
5. According to Ms Xie, “Wonderful Friends” is basically different from “The End of the Wild”, because ______.
A. they both invite different popular stars to show up 　　　　　　 
B. their purposes and ways to approach animals are different 
C. they shoot (拍摄) different numbers and kinds of species 　　
D. their filming locations are different
6. What’s the author’s attitude towards “Wonderful Friends”?
A. Worried.　 B. Uninterested. C. Disappointed.　 　 D. Not mentioned.
7. The passage would most likely be found ______.
B. in a newspaper A. on a notice board
C. in a fashion magazine D. in an ad of wildlife protection

It’s a common phenomenon that modern people now have difficulty sleeping. Drinking milk is thought to be helpful. A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.
Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety. The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night. Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer. While the effect of cows’ milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.
Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax. Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.
12．According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_________.
A. started sleep more easily B. were less active
C. were more anxious D. sleep longer
13．Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?
A. It’s used in sleeping drugs B. It’s been tested on mice for ten times
C. It can make people more energetic D. It exists in milk in great amount
14．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Milk and Melatonin B. Night Milk and Sleep
C. Little Fat in Milk D. Milk Drinking and Health
15．How does the author support the theme of the text?
A. By giving examples B. By stating arguments
C. By explaining statistical data D. By providing research results

While you are travelling abroad, cultural mistakes are more serious than linguistic mistakes, which can lead to serious misunderstanding and even ill feeling between individuals. 16.______
·Touching Someone
17．______ In Mediterranean countries, if you don’t touch someone’s arm when talking to them or if you don’t greet them with kisses or a warm hug, you’ll be considered cold.

So, if you see a row of shoes at the door, start undoing your laces. 19._____
