It's true that many dads in the wild aren't interested in parenting, but there are some that work pretty hard to give their little ones a good start. Maybe one of these dads will make you remember your own dad!

The male giant water bug doesn’t seem to mind a heavy load on his back for his kids. The female puts about 100 to 150 eggs on the back of the male, and then she leaves. Once the female is gone, the male has to look after the eggs. It usually takes one to two weeks for the eggs to hatch. The father giant water bug jumps around to make sure the growing eggs get enough air and water. All this time he can't fly because of the weight of the eggs growing rapidly on his back.

Now let's turn to the male stickleback fish. When the mother leaves after laying her eggs, the father tends his young. If the young fish go too far away, their father helps with their safe return by carrying them back in his mouth. The male stickleback looks after all his young — as many as 100 — until they can live on their own.

A similar example can be found in emperor penguins living in cold areas. The male emperor penguin goes without food while looking after his egg until it hatches. For about 62 to 67 days, the egg stays on top of the father's feet, in very cold temperatures that drop down to -39. As a result, the father may lose nearly 50 percent of his body weight while waiting for his baby penguin to be born!

1.What do we know about the giantwater bug?

A. It is unable to fly.

B. The eggs grow on the father's back.

C. The male must keep still to hatch the eggs.

D. The female looks after her eggs together with the male.

2.During the hatching period, the male emperor penguin ________.

A. is unable to eat

B. is fed by the female

C. tries to lose some weight

D. can't stand the cold weather

3.What is the best title for the text?

A. Mr. Moms in the Wild

B. Animals Do Have Feelings

C. Nature Loves Us like Our Dad

D. Childbirth in the Animal Kingdom

My color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.

Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电)noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉)shaking my set.

When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.

1.Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?

A. He got an older model than he had expected.

B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken.

C. He could have bought it at a lower price.

D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.

2.Which of the following can best replace the phrase” signed off” in Paragraph 1?

A. ended all their programs    B. provided fewer channels

C. changed to commercials    D. showed all-night movies

3.How did the author finally get his TV set working again?

A. By shaking and hitting it.    B. By turning it on and off.

C. By switching channels.    D. By having it repaired.

4.How does the author sound when telling the story?

A. Curious.    B. Anxious.    C. Cautious.    D. Humorous.

Speaking of city life, we always think of tall buildings, crowded street and comfortable living conditions. Therefore, there is too much pollution in the city. Citizens had to put up with noises and harmful gases. What about country life? The first thought comes into our minds is peace and quietness. Villagers breathe freshly air and enjoy clean water. But this is known to all that life in the country is much more difficult than those in the city. Besides, life in the country lacks of the excitement of our modern times. In my opinion, if we human beings pay enough attention to protect the environment and natural resources, we will be able enjoy our life to the fullest.
