A
It's comforting to think if you were somehow swallowed by a whale, you'd simply hang out in his stomach until he eventually spat you out, unharmed and whole. Unfortunately, your chance of ending up in this type of situation is pretty low.
In 2012 reporter Ben Shattuck read the records at the New Bedford Whaling Museum Research Library. Despite his extensive research at one of the most comprehensive whaling archives(档案), he failed to find a single report of anyone ever being swallowed alive by a whale. He found plenty of reports of whalers who were bitten or injured by the creatures, and several who died after fighting with a whale, but none related to swallowing.
With whales' large mouths, it certainly seems possible that a whale could swallow someone whole, so why is it so unlikely? Baleen whales, or whales without teeth, are some of the largest creatures on the planet. Despite their massive size, baleen whales could never get you into their bellies thanks to their relatively small esophagus(食道). These whales are designed to eat small sea creatures, and the opening in their throat is only about as large as a baske tball, so you'd never make it that far.
But what about toothed whales? Sperm whales eat whole seals, so you could easily fit down their throats and into their stomachs. However, once you reached the first of the sperm whale's four stomachs, your journey would probably end quickly. Not only would the whale's stomach acid make quick work of you, but you'd experience a distinct lack of air on the inside. Actually, you're more likely to get eaten or injured as you try to make it past the sperm whale's sharp teeth. Plenty of whalers, have fought with sperm whales and lost their hands or lives due to these mean teeth.
1、What did Ben Shattuck's research in 2012 show?
A．Many people had been killed by whales.
B．Only a single whale had swallowed people.
C．Whales had often been injured by whalers.
D．No whales had been found swallowing people.
2、What can we learn about baleen whales in this text?
A．They have only a few teeth.
B．They like big sea creatures best.
C．They have relatively small esophagus.
D．They are the largest animals in the world.
3、What is the most likely tool for sperm whales to injure humans?
A．Their throats.
B．The four stomachs.
C．The inside of the stomach.
D．The mean teeth.
4、What may be the best tide for the text?
A．Will Whales Kill Humans?
B．Can Whales Swallow People Alive?
C．Do Whales only Eat Small Creatures?
D．How Can People Research on Whales?

Middle school graduation style may be a bit more casual than formal high school or college ceremonies,but the move from junior to senior high school is still an important occasion that can be celebrated in many ways.
The decision whether students will wear caps and gowns（礼服）for middle school graduation is usually up to the individual school.Some feel that this is the perfect way to commemorate the special occasion,while others feel the cap and gown is unnecessary for a junior high ceremony.
For those schools that choose not to use caps and gowns,it is typically suggested that students wear dress clothes for the occasion.Students may also be encouraged to dress for graduation in a uniform manner,such as white shirts and black pants or skirts,or educators may suggest dressing in the school colors.Schools that choose to have students wear academic regalia（制服）for the ceremony may choose to purchase gowns in a variety of sizes from a store such as Graduate Affairs,and then let students borrow them,and reuse them each year.Caps may be purchased by a Parent-Teacher Organization or by the individual graduates.
Parents may choose to host open house or party when their child graduates from middle school.This is typically an informal affair,such as a barbeque or pool party,or simply appetizers or cake to honor the graduate.Simple backyard games such as volleyball,bocce ball,and Frisbee are a fun way to entertain young teens,tweens,and well-wishers.Other party games and a band might also be considerations for a large or more complicated gathering.
Whether simple or complex,there are many ways to remember a graduation from middle school and make this time a special and wonderful one.Graduation events are perfect for highlighting a student’s achievements during middle school and preparing for his or her future success.

Last July, my parents and I went to visit my aunt and uncle、 At the day of our flight, we had to wake up very early、 When we checked our bag in, we found one of them broken, but fortunate we were on our way on time、 My favorite experience was our visit to Mount Rainier, which was nothing like I have expected、
When we left, my aunt lent us sunhats, but I thought it would be very hot、 Imagine her surprise when I found the mountain top covering with snow、 We walked along a small path beyond the main trails increase our chances of seeing wildlife、 Small wild flowers grew up through the snow, underneath that we could hear a small stream、 Little animals stood still to avoid from being noticed、 It was the most beautiful sight that I had ever seen、
