Family dynamics in the animal kingdom are as different as the animals themselves. In the animal world, there

are advantages to be gained from being part of an extended family.

Chimpanzees

Chimpanzees are the world’s largest living primates. These creatures are peace-loving and may live together

for a lifetime. The dominant male has many wives who may stay with him for most of their lives, which can cause

everyday conflicts. It is the male who settles the conflicts by a warning stare or hitting the back of the offenders’

heads.

Elephants

Females stick together in the elephant world, living in herds under a stateswoman. The experience and

knowledge of this elder one, who may be 60-years-old, are of great benefit. She will remember, for example,the

location of water holes and seasonal food supplies. In times of danger, the group bunches around the young and it is

the stateswoman who decides whether to flee or confront the threat.

Lions

Lions are the only cats to live in a large family group, guarded by a pair of powerful males. Family life is

relatively harmonious and baby lions may be fed by any mother with milk, so orphaned babies do not starve. Males

live in the wilderness for some years before seeking their own pride by challenging resident males in a bloody

battle. The male lion protects his pride from other males and enemies.

Ostriches (鸵鸟)

Ostriches travel in bands of 10-50 individuals, the most remarkable birds being the eight-foot-tall males. The

largest birds in the world, ostriches cannot fly, but run fast. The wives of the male ostrich all put their eggs in the

same nest. A primary female will then join the male to hatch (孵化) the eggs and she will push away other eggs on

the outside to ensure her own are in the middle.

1. How is an elephant herd different from other three animal groups?

A. The leader should be the oldest and experienced.

B. The number of the animals in a herd must be large.

C. An experienced female elephant dominates the herd.

D. They will protect their young when they are in danger.

2. Which of the following statement is correct?

A. Baby lions often go hungry as they can’t hunt.

B. A female and a male ostriches hatch eggs jointly.

C. Elephants remember every place they have been to.

D. The female chimpanzee leader settles daily conflicts.

3. Where is this text probably taken from?

A. A text book. B. A science fiction.

C. A course plan. D. A wildlife journal.

Jim Curry lights a stove in the parking lot of Christ Episcopal Church in Guilford. It’ll get up to 2,000 degrees,

hot enough to soften the metal of shotgun parts so they can be reshaped.

A crowd is watching, and Curry picks out a 9-year-old named Oliver to help him. “This is really magic,” Curry

says. “Right before your very eyes, you’re gonna see Oliver transform this gun, this instrument of potential harm,

into something that could never be a gun ever again. It’s gonna be a trowel (泥铲), which could be used to plant

flowers in a garden.”

“It is exciting,” Oliver says. “I love the fact that you can take metal that’s random and shape it into something

useful.”

Curry, a retired priest, is a co-founder of Swords to Plowshares (犁) Northeast, the organization putting on this

event, which helps police departments manage their gun buyback programs and repurpose the weapons into

gardening tools.

The finished tools are donated to community gardens and agricultural high schools and the harvested

vegetables donated to soup kitchens and homeless shelters, according to the group’s website.

Retired priest Mary Ann first volunteered with Swords to Plowshares when a family member fell victim to gun

violence. She helps collect guns through police buybacks. “When there’s such despair now in our country, people

need to know that we can change. There is hope,” she says.

Curry wears a constant reminder of that hope around his neck. It’s two large pieces of metal molded into the

shape of a cross. “It’s made out of pieces of an AK-47 used for killing”, he says. “But God’s love breaks it apart,

reshapes it, then transforms it into the sign of greatest hope — the cross. And that’s why I wear it.”

4. What do Curry and Oliver do in the parking lot?

They measure the temperature of a hot stove.

B. They do magic tricks in front of many people.

C. They turn what’s threatening into what’s useful.

D. They do experiments on how to make useful tools.

5. Where can you find the reshaped tools from the text?

A. In homeless shelters. B. In some famous gardens.

C. In agricultural high schools. D. In kitchens of the community.

6. What can be inferred from Marry Ann’s words?

A. She feels desperate as she lost her beloved one.

B. Her country may be under threat from gun violence.

C. She will do something significant to rescue the world.

D. Her family member was killed because of gun violence.

7. What can you learn about Curry from the last paragraph?

A. He made the cross all by himself.

B. His cross is a weapon used to kill.

C. The cross reminds him to reshape more tools.

D. The cross represents his hope for a better life.

We grow up -unavoidably-with a strong attachment to a plan A, that is,an idea of how our lives will go and

what we need to do to achieve our particular set of well-defined goals.

But then, for some of us and at one level all of us, life turns out to have made a few other plans. A sudden

injury puts a certain career forever out of reach. A small but significant error changes everything about how crucial

others view us. And so, promptly, we find we have to give up on plan A altogether, which can feel devastating. We
