26、Unlike Chinese people, the ones in the West believe in star signs. Western world has a complete system(系统) of star signs, and they explain them and use them to tell a person’s characteristics and the things they like or dislike. There are a cycle of 12 of them in all. All of them are decided by the date instead of the year of your birth and each of them has its own characteristics.

Sagittarius (射手座) is one of them. Now, let’s take it as an example:

Sagittarius (November 23—December 21)

Sagittarius in short

Sagittarius are fun, loving, generous and very friendly. They seldom tell lies; in fact they’re so open about everything, They have surprising intuitions(直觉) that they should pay attention to. They are pretty clever because they are so interested in everything. They can be a bit rude, that’s only because they’re very honest and will say exactly what they think. They love travelling, fast cars and horse riding. They also love spending money.

More about Sagittarius

Sagittarius are great friends because they are interested in everything and everyone. They are attracted by even the strangest people. With their humour, they are often in a good mood. They can be hurtful to others because they cannot stop speaking what they see as the truth, but they don’t mean to. Money is not their God. Their values are spiritual(精神的) rather than material.

They are hard-working. They are very open-minded about new ideas and love to try ideas out. Usually it does end up working because they have an excellent intuition and can usually tell straight away if an idea is a good one or a bad one. One of their weaknesses is not asking enough money for all the hard work they do, because they love doing it.

27、

“Save the whales!”, That’s what the picture on Jake Smith’s bedroom wall said. Jake liked having a picture that said something important: that showed he cared. He just never expected to get a chance to save a real whale, one right in his own neighbourhood.

It was a Saturday morning when the newspaper first reported the whales coming. A group of the animals were swimming close to the beach in Jake’s hometown. All the local people rushed out to the beach to see them. They were expecting a beautiful show, better than a movie, but nothing they’d have to do anything about.

Then one whale swam in the direction, directly towards land. It came in with the waves, and when the waves receded. Its huge body rested on the sand. Suddenly, Jake and his family and all the others were no longer sightseers. They had to become rescuers. A few people ran towards the animal. They pushed and tried to force the whale back into the water, but it was no use.

An animal rescue(救援) service team soon arrived in a truck with heavy lifting machinery, to help move the animal. Jack and his family couldn’t do much on the beach, so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers. At least, Jake thought, they could help in some way.

Back at the beach, they offered the food to the rescuers and were happy to see that it was needed. It was getting dark. Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shined the headlights on the sand. The rescuers would not give up. After trying many times they were finally able to lift the whale into the water. Everyone cheered when it headed out to sea. It swam out about a mile and then disappeared for a moment under the sea. Then, in what looked like a jump of joy, it rose high above the water-a thank-you to those who had worked so hard to save his life.

【1】What does the picture on Jake’s wall tell us about him?

A．He lived near the ocean.

B．He cared about the environment.

C．He worked as an animal rescuer.

D．He thought whales were the most beautiful animals.

【2】Why did the local people go down to the beach that morning?

A．To swim with the whales

B．To help rescue the whales.

C．To see the whales swimming.

D．To watch a movie about whales.

【3】The underlined word “receded” in Paragraph 3 means ________.

A．didn’t move

B．went back out

C．washed over

D．got up

【4】How did Jake and his family help save the whale?

A．By calling the rescue service.

B．By asking their neighbours for help.

C．By giving the rescuers food and drink.

D．By controlling the people on the beach.

【5】In what order did the events of the whale rescue take place?

a. The whale disappeared under the sea.

b. People turned on the lights of their cars.

c. Rescuers lifted the whale into the water.

d. People pushed the whale towards the sea.
