A
Three boys were enjoying themselves in their hometown of Bovina, Mississippi. However, their lives were turned upside down when they discovered the jawbone of a Mastodon (齿乳象).
Brothers Shawn and Caid Sellers and cousin Michael Mahalitc found the prehistoric bone in a piece of earth that was recently plowed (犁、耕). “I thought it was a log,” Caid said. “I tried to pick it up and it was really heavy and I saw teeth on it.” The bone weighed about 50 pounds. They eventually got the bone to their home and fitted it in their tub (浴盆), but it took their collective strength, might and a golf cart, to carry the large Mastodon bone.
“They didn’t expect to find that,” Michael’s mom said. “Now that they have, I believe that they will be more aware of their surroundings and what they’re digging up when they are digging and playing.”
“We’ve gotten a lot of petrified (石化的) wood and Civil War relics from the area and that’s what I thought it was,” the brothers’ mother said. “This is our first set of teeth we’ve found. So we thought it was their imagination. We were quite surprised to see that it was not their imagination.”
They were exploring near the brothers’ home. Lo and behold (真想不到), they saw what they thought resembled a fossil. It was the curator of paleontology (古生物负责人) of the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, George Phillips, who first identified the bone as a “very mature individual.”
The Mastodon was a mammal who lived during the prehistoric times. They had long tusks and trunks, like elephants. They were clearly different from their modern-day counterparts, as well as woolly mammoths (猛犸).
1、How did they find the jawbone of a Mastodon?
A．With great efforts. B．By chance.
C．Instructed by an expert. D．Through imagination.
2、At first the brothers’ mother thought the jawbone was________.
A．from people who died in the Civil War B．the bone from a very mature individual
C．like a log or something D．the prehistoric bone
3、The discovery of the jawbone of a Mastodon is important mainly because it________.
A．helps people to know more about the Civil War
B．teaches kids to be more aware of their surroundings
C．promotes the research on more prehistoric creatures
D．attracts the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science
4、Which of the following can be the best title for the article?
A．Prehistoric Bones Recently Found in Mississippi
B．Not Petrified Wood Nor Civil War Relics
C．First Identifying Bone as a “Very Mature Individual”
D．Unexpectedly Discovering Mastodon Jawbone

B
David was about 8 when he learned how to swim. He got so good that he eventually picked up free diving, a sport where divers hold their breath until resurfacing instead of using breathing equipment. He never imagined nearly two decades later he would come to use that skill in such a way.
It is an extraordinary act of courage, but to have the moment caught on camera for the world to see is something else entirely. The scene was filmed by someone on the same boat and was put online. The video was shared immediately by national and global media.
That August day began with David boating around with his friends. They spotted a woman driving a bright red Mazda heading right into high water. David and his crew tried to warn her to stop, but by then it was too late, and the car had already slid under water.
In the moments before David jumped into those muddy flood waters to tear the roof off the car with his bare hands, his thought process was short. In fact, he didn’t have one.
“The car was sinking fast,” David says. “There was no time to think. It had to be done.”
Up until recently, David hadn’t reunited with the woman he saved. He was perfectly fine with saving a stranger and remaining unknown to her.
Still to this day, even after the attention the video received, after the media from all over the globe landed on his front yard, David doesn’t think it a big deal. “I think I was just lucky,” David says, smiling. “I happened to be at the right place at the right time.”
1、177．What did David do on that August day?
A．He picked up free diving. B．He rescued a woman.
C．He drove into the water. D．He filmed a video.
2、179．Why did the media land on his front yard?
A．To take photos of his yard. B．To make a deal with him.
C．To keep an eye on him. D．To dig for more about him.
3、181．What kind of person is David?
A．Ambitious. B．Considerate. C．Modest. D．Conservative.
