Dangerous creatures
Some beach creatures are wonderful—like dolphins, but others are dangerous. Find out more about the dangerous ones –puffer fish, blue ringed octopus, and stingrays.
The blue ringed octopus
The blue ringed octopus is not a very big creature but it is very dangerous.
These octopuses are found all around the coast of Australia. They often lie in rock pools close to shore.
The blue ringed octopus is usually a dull colour but it shows its bright blue rings when it is in danger. If it is taken out of the water by someone, it is able to bite him and poison him.
If this creature bites someone, he will feel numbness (麻木) around the mouth, face and neck, Puffer Fish
Puffer Fish are found in all Australian seas. They are very easy to catch but must not be eaten because their flesh contains a poison.
Anyone who does eat the flesh can become sick very quickly. They may even stop breathing.
The Blue Bottle
The Blue Bottle is found in most Australian waters. Blue Bottles float lightly on the surface of the water but their tentacles(触角)can be as long as 10 meters.
Blue Bottles are much less dangerous than some other jellyfish, but they can give a swimmer a bad sting(刺) if the swimmer accidentally touches them.
Stingrays
There are many different kinds of stingrays in Australian waters. They usually swim and feed on the bottom of the sea. Accidents can happen if people stand on them or try to pick them up.
Stingrays have a sting on their tail. These stings have poison on them. If someone is stung, the wound can easily become infected.

Self—employed private doctors who charge a fee each patient’s visit are the foundation of medical practice in the United States. Most doctors have contract relationship with one or more hospitals in the community. They send their patients to this hospital,which usually charges patients according to the number of days they stay and the facilities (operation room, tests, medicines that they use). Some hospitals belong to a city, a state or a government agency. Others are operated by religious orders (教会)or other non—profit groups.
Some medical doctors are on salary. Salaried doctors may work as hospital staff (员工)members, or residents, who are often still in training . They may teach in medical schools, or be hired by corporations to care for their workers to work for the government’s Public Health Service.
Doctors are among the best paid professionals in the United States. In the 1980s, it was not uncommon for medical doctors to earn incomes of more than $100,000 a year. Specialists, particularly surgeons, might earn several times that amount. Doctors list many reasons why they deserve to be so well rewarded for their work. One reason is the long and expensive preparation required to become a doctor in the United States. Most would—be doctors first attend college for four years, which can cost nearly $20,000 a year at one of the best private institutions. Then they attend medical school for four years. Tuition(学费)alone can more than $10,000 a year. By the time they have obtained their medical degrees, many young doctors are deeply in debt. They still face three to five years of residency(实习阶段) in hospital, the first year as an assistant. The hours are long and the pay is relatively low.
Setting up a medical practice is expensive, too. Sometimes several doctors will decide to establish a group practice, so they can share the expense of maintaining an office and buying equipment. These doctors also take care of each other’s patients in emergencies.
Doctors work long hours and must accept a great deal of responsibility. Many medical procedures, even quite practiced many times, still involve risk. It is understandable that doctors want to be well—paid for making decisions which can mean the difference between life and death.
64.According to the passage, it is very unlikely that an American hospital is owned by .
A.a church ycyB.a corporationC.a cityD.a state
65.The expenses for becoming a doctor are mainly spent on .
A.schooling and retrainingB.practice in a hospital
C.facilities he or she usesD.education he or she receives
66.Sometimes several doctors set up a group medical practice mainly because .
A.it’s difficult for one doctor to take care of too many patients
B.they can take turns to work for long hours
C.facilities may be too much of burden for one doctor to shoulder
D.no one wants to take too much responsibility
67.The statement that fully expresses the author’s view towards US doctors’ payment is that .
A.they deserve a very good payment for their expensive education and their responsibility
B.it is reasonable for doctors to have a large income because their work is dangerous
C.doctors should be better paid because they work long hours in bad conditions
D.doctors have great responsibility, so it is understandable that they should be well paid

Experts say the American state of Hawaii has been invaded (入侵)by a small frog called the coqui (ko--kee). There may be millions of the small frogs in Hawaii. However, they do not belong there. They are normally found in the southeastern United States. The coqui frogs are harming Hawaii’s environment. And the extremely loud noise they make is causing problems for Hawaiian citizens and visitors.
The coqui invaders arrived in Hawaii about ten years ago. They were believed to have been brought in accidentally in shipments of plants from Florida. Their number has sharply increased. They have quickly spread around the Hawaii Islands hidden in plants.
The coqui is a brown frog about five centimeters long. During the day, the frogs hide in wet protected areas, such as under plant leaves. At night, the frogs move onto trees to feed, call to females and mates. The call of the male coqui sounds like. Ko kee! Ko kee!
In the southeastern United States, local people celebrate coqui frogs. But in Hawaii, the foreign frog has been considered as a harmful animal. The coqui frogs are a major danger to Hawaii’s environmental system. The frogs eat thousands of insects (昆虫)every night. These insects are important for the reproduction of plants. The insects also are important food for Hawaii’s native rare birds. The frogs also are affecting the tourism industry in Hawaii. Increasing numbers of hotels, visitors and local people have been annoyed by the loud calls made by male coqui frogs to female frogs. At night, the noise often makes it difficult for people to sleep.
The frogs do not have any natural enemies in Hawaii to reduce their population size. The warm weather permits them to lay eggs all year long. There are many efforts in Hawaii designed to stop the spread of the coqui. It is a crime to transport ,sell or release(释放)the frogs there.
The Hawaii Department of Agriculture is trying to find an effective chemical that can be safely used to kill the frogs. For now, the frogs may only be caught by hand. The Hawaii Department of Agriculture says the greatest danger to the economy and environment of the state is from harmful species, like the coqui.
72.The statement that can best summarize the main idea of the passage is .
A.the coqui invaders have seriously affected the tourism industry in Hawaii
B.it is not permitted to transport, sell or release the coqui frogs in Hawaii
C.the coqui invasion has serious effects on the economy and environment in Hawaii
D.great efforts have been made by the Hawaii people to kill the coqui
73.The coqui frogs originally arrived in Hawaii.
A.by chanceB.at the request of all the local citizens
C.as a giftD.as goods demanded in the local market
74.Visitors to Hawaii don’t like the coqui frogs mainly because .
A.they are a big danger to the environmental system there
B.the loud noise made by the frogs bother their rest at night
C.they affect the reproduction of the local plants and insects
D.visitors could no longer see the native rare birds because of them
75.The two factors leading to the rapid spread of coqui frogs in Hawaii are .
A.the frogs’ habit and the environment in Hawaii
B.the large number of the insects and the plants in Hawaii
C.the geographic location of Hawaii and its tourism industry
D.the warm weather there and the frogs’ lack of natural enemies

Dear Jack,
How are you getting along these days?
I’m in Senior Grade 3 now, and I’m writing to ask for a favor.
Could you please help me to find a book on how to improve my English writing skills, such as how to organize an article and how to use the transitional words? Hopefully, this book will cover a wide range of topics, each with some proper examples. It would be better if it includes the topics and possible versions of the writings of the test papers for the past three years’ College Entrance Examinations. Besides, I hope the book could be of the same size as our English textbooks, no matter how thick it could be. Of course, it should be of the latest edition for Senior Grade 2007. If it’s possible, please post it to my school.(115 words)
Thank you very much, ,my dear friend. I wish I hadn’t put you to so much trouble.
Yours,
Zhang Lin
