APRIL 5 marks the 100th anniversary(周年紀念日)of the sinking(下沉)of the Titanic. In 1997, the movie Titanic was a huge hit all around the world. Now, the 3-D version of the movie will come to Chinese theaters on April 10.
As anyone who has seen the movie knows, the Titanic struck an iceberg(冰山) and sank on its first voyage in 1912, killing 1,517 people. A century after the accident, scientists have found something new to blame(負責任) for the sinking: the moon. Donald Olson, a Texas State University physicist, led a team of astronomers(天文學家) to examine the moon’s role, according to Reuters.
Normally, icebergs stay in place and cannot move until they melt enough or a high tide(潮汐) frees them. A single iceberg can become stuck many times on its journey southward. The process can take several years.
According to Olson, a hundred years ago the moon made its closest approach to the Earth in more than 1,400 years. This caused the moon to have a much stronger pull on the Earth’s oceans than usual, which created a super-high tide. The tide pushed icebergs from shallow waters off the coasts of Canada’s provinces, Newfoundland and Labrador, into the Titanic’s way.
“Of course, the final cause of the accident was that the ship struck an iceberg,” Olson told Reuters. “It went full speed into a region with icebergs, but the lunar connection(月亮的聯(lián)系) may explain how an unusually large number of icebergs got into the path of the Titanic.”
The research team will publish their research in the April issue of Sky & Telescope magazine.

What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.
Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways and fire escapes, but not lifts.
From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible, learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.
The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average (平均高度的) person, hanging by the finger-tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.
Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may have leaked (滲) into the room.
On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are these which open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement (水泥) might end with injury. Bushes and grass can help to break a fall.
1．It is more important to ________.
A. put out the fire in the burning house B. Know the ways to escape the fire
C. jump off a burning house D. keep the door closed
2．It is possible to escape through the windows ________.
A. if you have a long rope B. if you are strong enough
C. if you live on a lower floor D. if there are some bushes on the ground
3 Which of the following escaping way is NOT right?
A. You can escape through stairways. B. You can choose fire escapes.
C. Escape from the windows which open onto a roof.
D. Use a life to come down at once.
4．Open the window so that ________ if the building is on fire.
A. you can get fresh air B. you can call for help
C. you can easily jump off D. you can be seen first
5．The best title for the passage is ________.
A. Escaping from the Windows B. Save Yourself in the Burning House

One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn（谷倉），they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to come out．A while later they indeed saw mice running out, one after another．Then, everyone thought that all the mice had escaped．But just as they began to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing（擠）out at the mouth of the hole．With some efforts, the mice finally got out．However, it was strange that after they came out of the hole, they did not run away immediately．Instead, one chased after the other near the mouth of the hole．It seemed that one was trying to bite（咬）the tail of the other．
Everyone was puzzled, so they stepped nearer to take a look．They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to escape．
After seeing what happened, everyone was speechless and lost in thought．During the meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to chat about what happened to the two mice．
One serious American official said：“I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard．”The others thought for a while and said：“
That was why!”
A smart French said：“I think the relationship between those two mice was that
of husband and wife．”Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it made sense．
A Japanese said：“I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son．”O(jiān)nce again the others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable．So they expressed agreement another time．
At that moment, one Chinese asked：“Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship？ ”
Suddenly, the group looked back at the Chinese and remained speechless．The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shame, and did not dare to answer．
In fact, the true love is not built on friendship, loyalty or blood relationship．
Instead, it is based on no relationship．
1 Neither of the two mice ran away immediately because ______．
A．one was biting the other B．the mouth of the hole was too small
C．they were not afraid of smoke D．one was trying to help the blind one
2 Why did they lower their heads in shame according to the passage？
A．They did not dare to answer．
B．They had mistaken the relationship of the mice．

D．They did not express themselves much better．
3 It is clear that ______．

C．the people wanted to kill the mice with smoke
D．the people knew one of the mice was blind at first sight
4 “it made sense”probably means ______．
A．it was correct B．it was strange C．it was funny D．it was sweet
