The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has developed guidelines for whale watching in Johnstone Strait, where killer whales are found on a daily basis each summer. It is strongly recommended that vessel (船只) operators follow these guidelines for all kinds of whales.

• Approach whales from the side, not from the front or the back.

• Approach no closer than 100 metres, then stop the boat but keep the engine on.

• Keep noise levels down — no horns, whistles or racing of engines.

• Start your boat only after the whales are more than 100 metres from your vessel

• Leave the area slowly, gradually moving faster when you are more than 300 metres from the whales.

• Approach and leave slowly, avoiding sudden changes in speed or direction.

• Avoid disturbing groups of resting whales.

• Keep at low speeds and remain in the same direction if traveling side by side with whales.

• When whales are traveling close to shore, avoid crowding them near the shore or coming between the whales and the shore.

• Limit the time spent with any group of whales to less than 30 minutes at a time when within 100 to 200 metres of whales.

• If there is more than one vessel at the same observation spot, be sure to avoid any boat position that would result in surrounding the whales.

• Work together by communicating with other vessels, and make sure that all operators are aware of the whale watching guidelines.

28、What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-cream taster?

Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice cream. Just ask John Harrison, an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream—as well as for developing over 75 flavors（味道）.

Some people think that it would be easy to do this job; after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No—there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.

In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice-cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12°F. Harrison explains, “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir（搅拌）it, creating ice-cream soup.”

While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,” he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself，“Does the product have the color expected from that flavor?” Next it’s time to taste!

Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy – working at one cool job.

【1】What is John Harrison’s job?

A. An official. B. An ice-cream manufacturer.

C. A chemist. D. An ice-cream taster.

【2】According to John Harrison, to be qualified in the “cool field”, it is helpful to .

A. think up new ideas every day

B. keep a diary of daily work

C. have a degree in related subjects

D. find out new flavors each day

【3】What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?

A. He stirs the ice cream.

B. He lets the ice cream warm up.

C. He tastes the flavor of the ice cream.

D. He examines the color of the ice cream.

【4】Which of the following is probably the best title for the passage?

A. One Cool Job   B. Flavors of Ice Cream

C. Tasting with Eyes   D. John Harrison’s Life

29、When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate(照亮）me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share.

When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say,“Let's start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.

When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.

For almost four years I have had remarkable friends whose imagination illuminates mine.We

write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears,sometimes in a funny way, in the other' s dreams. She and I agree that,at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments,I often think,"Yes,I must tell...."We have never met.

It is such comforting companions I wish to keep.One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist, who will only fill up the healing silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.

【1】In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to

A．become serious about her study

B．go to her friend's house regularly

C．share poems and stories with her friend

D．learn from her classmates at school

【2】What does the underlined sentence "We gave London to each other" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．We parted with each other in London.

B．Our unpleasant feeling about London disappeared.

C．We were unwilling to tear ourselves away from London.

D．Our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of us.

【3】What would the author prefer to do in the darkest moments?

A．To be left alone.

B．To seek professional help.

C．To break the silence.

D．To stay with her best friend.

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A．Unforgettable Experiences

B．Noble Companions

C．Remarkable Imagination

D．Lifelong Friendship

30、   Ten years ago, I set out to examine luck. I wanted to know why some people are______in the right place at the right time, while others consistently experienced ill fortune. I placed______in national newspapers asking for people who felt consistently lucky______unlucky to contact me.

Hundreds of extraordinary men and women volunteered for my______. Over the years I interviewed them, watched their lives and had them______various experiments.

I carried out a simple______to discover whether their differences in______was due to differences in their ability to______opportunities. I gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper, and asked them to look______it and tell me how many photographs were inside. I had______placed a large message halfway through the newspaper saying… "Tell the experimenter you have seen this and win $ 50."

This______took up half of the page and was written in type that was more than two inches high. It was staring everyone straight in the face, but the unlucky people tended to______it and the lucky people tended to spot it.

Unlucky people are generally more______than lucky people, and this anxiety affects their ability to notice the______. As a result, they fail to take opportunities because they are too______on looking for something else. They look through newspapers______to find certain types of job advertisements and miss______types of jobs.

Lucky people are more______and open, and therefore see what is there rather than just what they are looking for. My research eventually showed that lucky people create good fortune via four______. They are skilled at______and noticing chance opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition(直觉), create self-fulfilling prophesies(预言)via positive expectations, and adopt a "never say die" attitude that transforms bad luck into good.
