21、While diving in the Mediterranean with his daughters, Enzo was in the water preparing to dive. He felt a gentle push on his back and turned to see a male dolphin waving to him. The dolphin dove, and Enzo followed. About 12 meters down, Enzo was led to the dolphin’s mate, who had become trapped in a fishing net and would soon drown. Enzo quickly surfaced and returned with his daughters and a couple of diving knives. They freed the dolphin and helped her to the surface.
Although Enzo held several free-diving records — his deepest dive without the aid of breathing equipment was 101 meters, it was the lives of sea creatures that concerned him most. Enzo devoted his life to educating the world about the link between healthy seas and healthy humans. He often quoted Vangelis: “Until a man learns to respect and speak to the animal world, he can never know his true role on Earth.”
Enzo recalls of his dolphin rescue: “As soon as she (the female dolphin) was on the surface, after breathing out foam and blood, she gave birth to a dolphin calf(幼崽)under the watchful eyes of her mate.” Enzo and his daughters marveled(感到震惊)at the miracle they had just witnessed. While they were still in the water, the male dolphin circled around and touched its beak(喙)to Enzo’s cheek, like a kiss of gratitude.
The world is full of opportunities that lead to miracles if we only follow those pushes. Next door is a neighbor who needs a smile and a conversation, a child who needs a little comfort, or a young mom who just witnessed her own miracle and would love to share it with you.
【1】Why did the dolphin approach Enzo?
A.To make friends with him.

D.To warn him of the danger.

B.By giving an example.
C.By making a comparison.
D.By using a famous man’s words.
【3】What amazed Enzo about the male dolphin?
A.The birth of his child.
B.Expressing gratitude.
C.His love to his wife.
D.Being hurt by human.
【4】What’s the best title of this text?

B.A Dolphin Tried His Best To Save His Wife
C.A Kind Man Dived Deep To Rescue A Dolphin
D.We Should Attach Importance to Dolphin’s Health

23、In southeastern Brazil, local fishers walk into dark waters in search of mullet (鲻鱼) On their own, it would be tricky to find the silvery fish. But the humans get help from an unusual partner: wild bottlenose dolphins.
With nets in hand, the fishers patiently wait as their cetacean (鲸类的) partners drive the fish toward the shore. A signal from the dolphins—usually a deep dive—indicates when they should cast their nets. This fishing partnership has passed down through the generations, lasting for more than a century.
While researchers knew humans profited from this pairing, they couldn't confirm whether it benefited the dolphins. Now, in a new study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers suggest cetaceans that hunt with humans have more chances to live than those that don't.
“Human-wildlife cooperation in general is a rare phenomenon at a global scale.” says Mauricio Cantor, a biologist at Oregon State University and leader of the study. “Usually humans gain the benefit, and nature pays the cost. But this interaction has been happening for over 150 years.”
Fishers were more successful when they worked with the dolphins. When dolphins were present, the fishers were 17 times more likely to catch prey (猎物) and netted nearly four times more mullet when they timed their casting with the cetaceans' signals. Eighty-six percent of all 4.955 mullet caught during the study period came from “synchronous (同时的) interactions”—when the allies organized their actions perfectly with one another.
The study also revealed dolphins hunting with humans had a 13 percent increase in survival rate over other dolphins. These cooperative dolphins are more likely to stay near the shore, reducing their chance of entanglement (缠绕) in illegal fishing equipment. Besides, the dolphins can take some fish directly from the fishers’ harvest.
【1】What do the first two paragraphs talk about concerning Brazilian fishers?
A.They trick dolphins into fishing for them.
B.They harvest more fish with dolphins' help.
C.They have been training dolphins over a century.
D.They cast the fishing nets when dolphins surface.
【2】What does Mauricio Cantor's research show?
A.Nature favors human beings at a huge cost.
B.Fishers benefit from cooperating with cetaceans.
C.Human-wildlife interaction is a new global trend.
D.Dolphins working with man have higher survival rate.
【3】What docs the underlined word “allies” refer to in paragraph 5?
A.Prey.
B.Mullet.
C.Partners.
D.Researchers.
【4】What's the author's main purpose in writing the text?
A.To appeal for the protection of sea creatures.
B.To show a unique human-dolphin relationship.
C.To applaud for development in fishing research.
D.To encourage fishers to better draw on dolphins.
24、Ask anybody out there, what is the most important thing in his life – Fame, Fortune and Money, and there is a chance that he is going to say, money, because with that, fame and fortune comes quite easily. On the other hand, if you add “family” to these three choices given above, there is a chance that 99% of the people are going to put their family first, especially if they happen to be ladies!
The main reason is because nature has created a woman to be the cherisher and the nurturer (哺育者) of the family, while the man is the hunter and protector of his little family. That is the natural rule which has come down through thousands of years. Even if a person happens to be a comparatively worldly-wise person and has no idea of taking on the responsibility of a family, he has a picture of a tight little loving unit in his subconscious (潜意识).
They tell a story about a successful millionaire businessman who died and the whole city came to pay its respects. One of his business competitors, met the son and said, “We are really going to miss your father. You see, I knew your father well.” And the son replied, “You happen to be really lucky there, because I never did.” So, you might be an extremely successful person in your own right upon Wall Street, but if your little child fails to come running out to welcome his daddy at the end of the day to be swung up in his father’s arms and held there lovingly and protectively, you come in the “nothing” category in the business of life.
Many people are under the impression that taking on the responsibility of the family is quite tiresome, but they do not know what it takes to be a parent. It is very easy to be a biological father or a biological mother, but the real mother and the real father is that person who stays awake all night when the baby is teething, teaches him right from wrong, is there to hold him when he takes his first steps, and in every way shows that he is there to cherish (珍惜) and protect the little one from harm.
There was a man who did not believe in family, because of an unhappy childhood. But he found a faithful woman to love him unconditionally. The moment he picked up his little baby, he said, “Well son, welcome to the world! I am here to teach you what your mama has taught me, and we shall both protect you, when you need our help. I will teach you to be a good, just and fair man.”
