When I was young, my mother owned a store, in that she also sold magazines and books. I love to stay in the store, reading everything I found. It failed to help develop my ability to judge a good book, and it helped improve my reading skills. Then my mother began to focus on quality instead quantity. She bought books I wouldn’t find them in her store. Later, as my interest at theater began, I spent most of time read Shakespeare and George Bernard Shaw, to name the few. Anyway, good storytelling opened the window to different worlds I otherwise would have never entered. In additions, when I lived through a difficultly period books became advisers.

Bandhavgarh National Park in India is best known for its amazing setting, as well as having the highest concentration of tigers in India. In addition to tigers, there are also bears, deer, wolves, birds, etc.

Location: In Madhya Pradesh state, almost 200 kilometers northeast of Jabalpur. The nearest village is Tala, which is the access point of the park.

Opening Hours and Safari (游獵) Times

Safaris operate twice a day, starting at dawn until late morning, and mid afternoon until sunset. The best time to visit the park is early in the morning or after 7 p.m. to spot the animals. The park is closed from July 1 to September 30 due to the monsoon season (季風(fēng)季節(jié)).

Bandhavgarh Zones

Bandhavgarh is divided into three main zones: Tala (the park’s best zone, with the most tigers), Magdhi (the second best zone to see tigers), and Khitauli (scenic and less visited, although tiger sightings do occur there; particularly good for birding).

Entry Fees and Charges for Jeep Safaris

Bandhavgarh has become expensive to visit in recent years. Entry fees have increased since October 2014. When going on a safari, separate fees must be paid for park entry and jeep hire. Entry tickets are priced per vehicle (up to six people). For 2015-16, park entry tickets cost as follows:

·Tala Zone: 2,400 rupees for Indians, 4,800 rupees for foreigners. (Up to six people)

·Other Zones: 1,200 rupees for Indians, 2,400 rupees for foreigners. (Up to six people)

Jeep Hire

Expect to pay about 2,200 rupees to hire a jeep, in addition to the entry cost. This can be done at the park entrance. All hotels can arrange jeep hire and tours, but at a higher rate.

LONDON—Terror struck in the heart of London on Thursday as explosions ripped through three subway trains and blasted(炸開)the roof off a crowded red double-decker bus. At least 37 people were killed and more than 700 wounded in the deadliest attack on the city since the blitz(閃電戰(zhàn))in World War II.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair blamed Islamic extremists and said the bombings were designed to coincide with the opening in Scotland of a G-8 summit of the world’s most powerful leaders. Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said the bombings—which came the day after London won the bid to host the 2012 Olympics--- have the “hallmarks(特點)of an al-Qaida-related attack”.

Trapped passengers in the Underground railway threw themselves on the floor, some sobbing. As subway cars quickly filled with smoke, people used their umbrellas try to break the windows so that they could get air. Passengers emerged from the Underground covered with blood and soot(黑煙). On the street, in a light rain, buses ferried the wounded, and doctors used a hotel as a hospital.

“I didn’t hear anything, just a flash of light, people screaming, no thoughts of what it was. I just had to get out of the train,” said subway passenger Chris Randall, 28, who was hospitalized with cuts and burns to the face, the legs and hands.

“It was chaos(混亂),” said Gary Lewis, 32, evacuated(撤離)from a subway train at King’s Cross station. “The one haunting(縈繞)image was someone whose face was totally black( with soot) and pouring with blood.”

Police said there had been no warning and that the blasts at three subway stations went off within 26 minutes, starting at 8:51 a.m. in an Underground train just outside the financial district. Authorities initially blames a power failure but realized it was a terror attack after the bus bombing near the British Museum at 9:47 a.m.—less than an hour after the first explosion.

1.The best title of the news report is ________.

A. London wins the bid for 2012 Olympics

B. London terror bombings kill 37, wound 700

C. G-8 leaders vow victory against terrorism

D. Chaos in London following multiple explosions

2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the news report?

A. How the British government reacted (反應(yīng))to the attack.

B. What poor results the attack could lead to.

C. Why the terrorists attacked London.

D. How the trapped subway passengers escaped.

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the news report?

A. These explosions were the deadliest attack on London in history.

B. Terror attack happened right after the closing of G-8 summit.

C. Explosions had terrible effects on the survivors of the attack.

D. The worst explosion was the one that happened at 8:51 a.m.

4.The underlined word “initially” in the last paragraph probably means “_______”.

A. at once

B. at first

A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off-if it is milked from a cow at night.

Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.

The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.

Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.

Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.

While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.

Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.

Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.

1.According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_______.

A. started sleep more easily

B. were less active

C. were more anxious

D. woke up later

2.Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?

A. It’s used in sleeping drugs

B. It exists in milk in great amount

C. It can make people more energetic

D. It’s been tested on mice for ten years

3.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Milk Drinking and Health B. Fat, Sugar and Health

C. Night Milk and Sleep D. An Experiment on Mice
