题目：

 I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare (兔子) and the tortoise (乌龟). At the end I said. “Son, remember: Slow and steady (稳固的) wins the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?”

Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m participating in the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy and Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”

I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep on the way!”

“He must have wished that,” Sonny said. “Otherwise how could he be so stupid as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”

“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted, “He won the race by perseverance , by pushing on steadily.”

Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race. That’s for sure.”

I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be. They’re just hopeless.

61.Sonny believed that the tortoise ________.

won the race by his own effort

B. took a risk by agreeing to race

C. was not given a fair chance in the race

D. in fact did not win the race

62.Billy, Tony and Sandy must be ________.

A. boys who were unknown to Sonny’s father

B. boys Sonny had run races with before

C. boys Sonny had never raced with before

D. boys Sonny did not expect to race with again

63.The writer thinks that his generation (代) ________.

A. were more clever than Sonny’s generation

B. had the same ideas about life as Sonny’s generation

C. were more hopeful than Sonny’s generation

D. had different ideas about life from Sonny’s generation

                                                 Longer Lives for Wild Elephants

    Most people think of zoos as safe places for animals, where struggles such as difficulty finding food and avoiding predators don't exist. Without such problems, animals in zoos should live to a ripe old age.     

     But that may not be true for the largest land animals on Earth. Scientists have known that elephants in

zoos often suffer from poor health. They develop diseases, joint problems and behavior changes.

Sometimes, they even become unable to have babies.

    To learn more about how captivity (监禁) affects elephants, a team of international scientists compared the life spans of female elephants born in zoos with female elephants living outdoors in their native lands.

Zoos keep detailed records of all the animals in their care, documenting factors such as birth dates,

illnesses, weight and death. These records made it possible for the researchers to analyze 40 years of

data on 800 African and Asian elephants in zoos across Europe. The scientists compared the life spans of

the zoo-born elephants with the life spans of thousands of female wild elephants in Africa and Asian

elephants that work in logging camps (伐木场), over approximately the same time period.

    The team found that female African elephants born in zoos lived an average of 16.9 years. Their wild

counterparts who died of natural causes lived an average of 56 years--more than three times as long.

Female Asian elephants followed a similar pattern. In zoos, they lived 18.9 years, while those in the

logging camps lived 41.7 years.    

    Scientists don't yet know why wild elephants seem to live so much better than their zoo-raised counterparts. Georgia Mason, a biologist at the University of Guelph in Canada who led the study, thinks stress

and obesity (肥胖) may be to blame. Zoo elephants don't get the same kind of exercise they would in the wild, and most are very fat. Elephant social lives are also much different in zoos than in the wild, where they live in large herds and family groups.

    Another finding from the study showed that Asian elephants born in zoos were more likely to die early

than Asian elephants captured in the wild and brought to zoos. Mason suggests stress in the mothers in

zoos might cause them to have babies that are less likely to survive.

The study raises some questions about acquiring more elephants to keep in zoos. While some threatened

and endangered species living in zoos reproduce successfully and maintain healthy populations, that

doesn't appear to be the case with elephants.

1. According to the first two paragraphs, unlike other zoo animals, zoo elephants _______ .

A. have difficulty eating food.

A. They compared zoo elephants with wild elephants. 

B. They kept detailed records of all the elephants in their care. 

C. They analyzed the records of the elephants kept in zoos. 

D. The zoo-born elephants they studied are kept in European zoos.

3. What do the scientists find in their research?

A. Female elephants live longer than male elephants. 

B. Female zoo elephants live longer than their wild counterparts. 

C. Female zoo elephants die much earlier than their wild counterparts. 

D. Elephants in zoos and those in the wild enjoy the same long life spans.

4. Which of the following does the author suggest in the last paragraph? 

A. It may not be a wise policy to keep elephants in the zoo. 

B. Elephants are no longer an endangered species. 

C. Zoo-born elephants should be looked after more carefully. 

D. Zoos should keep more animals except elephants.
