My son Jack, a fourth grader, was having a hard time in getting interested in story books recently, so I offered to read the first few chapters to him. In the early pages of ‘Incident at Halk Hill’, a quiet little boy has a special meeting with a female badger (獾).Soon after, another badger is caught in a steel leg trap(陷阱), and the author describes in detail the pain and scare of an animal struggling to its death. We meet the cruel hunter and his ill treatment of a dog; we see the badger being skinned by the boy's father;and we experience the child's confusion when beaten by his father in anger. Pretty heavy going for ten-year-olds, I thought.
Last night , I returned from a weekend away to find that Jack had finished the whole book on his own. “It was really, really good and sad, and violent,” he reported. “There was a lot of killing.”
“Were there any happy parts?" I asked,
"The boy's life was saved by the badger, and that was good. But then that badger got caught in a trap again and at the end it's dying, too. ” Jack said, "It was so sad that I almost cried. ”
I told him that many books have made me cry, beginning with Heidi, when I was just his age, right on up to the novel I finished last week.
“Well,” he admitted then, “I actually did cry. Reading that book just reminded me of all the sadness in the world, and it made me feel sad ,too. ”
So, I think, now he has been through the sad tone of the passage , the discovery that words on a printed page can give rise to such strong emotion ,that a book can move you right out of your own comfortable little self and into someone else's pain. Thus we come to realize that if we are to remain fully engaged in life, open to its mysteries and feel sorry towards its suffering, we indeed need stories to grab(抓。 us by the neck and remind us of the sadness in the world that is not our own.

Imagine living locked inside a closet. You can’t choose when and what to eat or how you will spend your time. You can’t even decide when the lights go on and off. Think about spending your whole life like this.
This is the life of lab animals.
Now consider the needs of these animals. Chimpanzees(黑猩猩),in their natural homes, are never separated from their families. They spend hours together every day. But in a lab, chimpanzees are put in cages alone. There are no families, only cold, hard cages, and loneliness that goes on for so many years that most of them lose their minds at last.
Worse yet are the experiments. Animals are given diseases they would never normally get. Experimenters force-feed(給……強行喂食) chemicals to them, conduct repeated surgeries(手術),and much more, Think of what it would be like to put up with these and then be thrown back into a cage, usually without any painkillers. Often animals see other animals being killed right in front of them.
Hundreds of thousands of animals are poisoned, blinded, and killed every year in product tests for shampoos, skin creams and new cancer drugs. Although more than 500 companies have stopped testing on animals, some of them still force chemicals into monkeys’ stomachs and rabbits’ eyes.
Although some facilities are better than others at caring for animals—not every lab worker kills a mouse by cutting off its head with scissors—there are no happy animals inside laboratories. Will the lab life end? When will it end?
【小題1】The passage mainly tells us about .
A.animals’ lives in laboratories |
B.cruel experiments on animals |
C.the needs of animals in labs |
D.facilities used to care for animals |
A.①③④ | B.②③⑤ | C.②④⑤ | D.①④⑤ |
A.some companies have found ways to replace animal tests |
B.animals normally get no strange diseases |
C.animals are happy in labs with better facilities |
D.painkillers can change the results of experiments |
A.positive | B.worried | C.satisfied | D.disappointed |

Hunting
The days of the hunter are almost over in India.This is partly because there is practically nothing left to kill,and partly because some steps have been taken,mainly by banning tiger-shooting,to protect those animals which still survive.
Some people say that Man is naturally a hunter.I disagree with this view.Surely our earliest forefathers,who at first possessed no weapons,spent their time digging for roots,and were no doubt themselves often hunted by meat-eating animals.
I believe the main reason why the modern hunter kills is that he thinks people will admire his courage in overpowering dangerous animals.Of course,there are some who truly believe that the killing is not really the important thing,and that the chief pleasure lies in the joy of the hunt and the beauties of the wild countryside.There are also those for whom hunting in fact offers a chance to prove themselves and risk death by design:these men go out after dangerous animals like tigers,even if they say they only do it to rid the countryside of a threat.I can respect reasons like these,but they are clearly different from the need to strengthen your high opinion of yourself.
The greatest big-game hunters expressed in their writings something of these finer motives(動機).One of them wrote:
“You must properly respect what you are after and shoot it cleanly and on the animal’s own territory (領地).You must fix forever in your mind all the wonders of that particular day.This is better than letting him grow a few years older to be attacked and wounded by his own son and eventually eaten,half alive,by other animals.Hunting is not a cruel and senseless killing—not if you respect the thing you kill,not if you kill to enrich your memories,not if you kill to feed your people.”
I can understand such beliefs,and can compare these hunters with those who hunted lions with spears(矛) and bravely caught them by the tail.But this is very different from many tiger-shoots I have seen,in which modern weapons were used.The so-called hunters fired from tall trees or from the backs of trained elephants.Such methods made tigers seem no more dangerous than rabbits.
1.There is no more hunting in India now partly because _______.
A.it is dangerous to hunt there
B.hunting is already out of date
C.hunters want to protect animals
D.there are few animals left to hunt
2.The author thinks modern hunters kill mainly _______.
A.to make the countryside safe
B.to earn people’s admiration
C.to gain power and influence
D.to improve their health
3.What do we learn about the big-game hunters?
A.They hunt old animals. B.They mistreat animals.
C.They hunt for food. D.They hunt for money.
4.What is the author’s view on the tiger-shoots he has seen?
A.Modern hunters lack the courage to hunt face-to-face.
B.Modern hunters should use more advanced weapons.
C.Modern hunters like to hunt rabbits instead of tigers.
D.Modern hunters should put their safety first.
