“Depend on yourself” is what Nature says to everyone .Parents can help you .Teachers can help you .Others can help you .But all these only help you to help yourself.

There have been many great men in history .But many of them were very poor in childhood and had no uncles ,aunts or friends to help them .Schools were few and not very good .They could not depend on them for education .They saw how it was , and set to work with all their strength to know something .Their worked their own way till they became well-known.

One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils ,“ I can not make worthy of you ,but I can help make men of yourselves”.

Some young men do not try their best to make themselves valuable to the human beings.They can never gain achievement unless they see their weak-points and change their course .They are nothing now ,and will be nothing as long as they live , unless they accept the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend on their efforts.

New Zealand fishermen caught what may prove to be a world-record-breaking colossal squid (鱿鱼).

In the cold, dark waters of the Antarctic hides a creature with eight arms, two super long tentacles(触须)and eyes as big as dinner plates.Sound like something out of a science fiction movie? Think again.

On February 21, New Zealand fishermen landed a colossal squid the length of a school bus.They had been fishing with long lines for Chilean sea bass in the waters off the coast of New Zealand when they caught the rare squid.With two hours of hard work, the crew skillfully pulled the creature into a net and dragged in aboard their ship.

Scientists evaluate that the animal weighs about a half ton and is about 40 feet long.That would make this colossal squid the biggest on record.

First identified in 1925 after two tentacles were found in a whale’s stomach, the colossal squid has long been a mystery.The animals are not easy to observe because they can go down to ocean depths of 6,500 feet.What scientists do know from studying the bodies of a half dozen colossal squids is that they are fierce hunters.

The recently captured colossal squid has been frozen to keep it for scientific study.It will be transported to New Zealand’s national museum, Te Papa, in the capital city of Wellington.Experts believe it to be the first adult male ever caught undamaged.Scientists hope to learn more about the colossal squid’s diet, behavior and reproductive (繁殖) patterns.

“Scientists will be very interested in this amazing creature,” said New Zealand Fisheries Minister Jim Anderson.“It adds immeasurably to our understanding of the marine environment.”

64.It is usually difficult for experts to observe the squid because ______.

A.it moves too fast  B.it is too large.

C.it is dangerous.  D.it can go down to deep ocean.

65.From the passage, we can infer that _____.

A.the fishermen often meet colossal squids

B.scientists know much about the colossal squid

C.the squid is actually from a science fiction story

D.the fishermen had some difficulty catching the large squid

66.The purpose of keeping such a huge squid is to ______.

A.make it into food  B.set a world record

C.do research on it  D.display it for visitors

67.What would be the best title for the passage?

A.The biggest squid ever found B.Scientific research on squid

C.The lifestyle of the colossal squid D.How the fishermen caught the squid

D

The Japanese government has launched a campaign encouraging people to go to bed and get up extra early in order to reduce household carbon dioxide emissions.

The Morning Challenge campaign, made public by the Environment Ministry, is based on the premise (前提) that exchanging late night electricity for an extra hour of morning sunlight could significantly cut the nation’s carbon footprint.

A typical family can reduce its carbon dioxide footprint by 85kg a year if everyone goes to bed and gets up one hour earlier, according to the campaign.

The amount of carbon dioxide emissions potentially saved from going to bed an hour early was the equivalent of 20 percent of annual emissions from household lights, “Many Japanese people waste electric power at night time, for example by watching TV until very late,” a ministry spokesperson told The Daily Telegraph.

“But going to bed early and getting up early can avoid wasting electrical power which causes carbon dioxide emissions.If people change their lifestyle, we can save energy and reduce emissions.” The campaign also proposes that people take advantage of an extra hour of morning sunlight by improving their lifestyles in general by running, doing yoga and eating a nutritious breakfast.

It is the latest measure dealing with climate change by the Japanese Environment Ministry, which is faced with the challenge of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 25 per cent from 1990 levels within the next decade.

It was the same government department that started the high profile (姿态) Cool Biz campaign five years ago, which encourages workers to wear short-sleeved shirts and offices not to turn air con lower than 28 degrees during the summer.

68.What does Morning Challenge claim is the purpose of its campaign?

A.To promote a healthier lifestyle.

B.To encourage people to watch less TV.

C.To reduce household carbon dioxide emissions.

D.To show the sense of responsibility of the Japanese government.

69.The Japanese government has to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the next ten years by ________ on the 1990 levels.

A.20% B.25% C.85% D.28%

70.Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?

A.The Japanese government is the first government to deal with the environmental problem.

B.Carbon dioxide emissions are more serious in Japan than in any other country.

C.The Japanese Environment Ministry is responsible for climate change.

D.The purpose of Cool Biz campaign is similar to that of the Morning Challenge.

Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized nations.They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago.  71

The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly.Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses.   72   So they are called "diseases of civilization".Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.

Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none.  73   However, a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.

Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic ones.They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits.They did not have milk or any other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains.  74   We eat six times more salt than our ancestors.We eat more sugar.We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin  C.

75   But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.

A.Stone Age people lived a simple life.

B.But today, we enjoy eating a lot of these.

C.In that case, they would live much healthier.

D.Ancient people also got lots of physical exercise.

E.These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.

F.People today probably don't want to live like our ancestors.

G.Modern people used to suffer from "diseases of civilization".
