Last summer, I had my first real fishing experience. I had gone fishing with my dad a few times before, 1 I’d only caught a few small ones. But that time last summer was 2 : We were fishing for alligators.
Near the end of my last year in middle school, my dad took me to the Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge, a big marsh near the sea in Louisiana, US.
At first, I thought fishing for alligators was a 3 idea. What if one tried to eat me? But we had a lot of help, and my dad knows 4 about alligators, so it was OK.
We weren’t trying to catch them for food. My dad is a scientist. He wanted to get some alligator eggs and blood for
5 . Getting the eggs was easy: We went out early in the morning and took them from nests. But getting the blood was
6 .
Alligators are usually under water, and we had to get one onto land.
Three of us – Dad, me and a worker called Scooter – went over to some water. We knew some alligators lived in there.
Scooter had a special fishing pole. He 7 the line into the water.
I was standing by the water. It was my job to pull the animal out of the water after Scooter caught it.
It wasn’t 8 we got one. I pulled hard on the line, and when the alligator was close, I put my arms around its neck. Then, my dad 9 hit it on the head, and it went to sleep.
It didn’t take long to get some blood from its neck. Mosquitoes were all over us, so we pushed the alligator back into the water and left.
When most people think of fishing, they see fish. But not me. Now, when I think about it, I see a big 10 waiting for me!

There are not many foods in the world that are as nice as chocolate. If you really love it, just thinking about it can make your mouth water!
When you love choc olate you may also eat a lot of it. But wait just a minute, isn’t that bad for our health?
There are different ways to look at chocolate and health. Some people think that chocolate gives people pimples (痘痘) and bad teeth, has very little nutrition (营养) and makes people fat. But some scientists say that eating chocolate makes people feel happy and excited. They say if we don’t eat too much, chocolate is OK.
Earlier this month, US researchers (研究人员) also said that dark chocolate is good for the heart. Th ey say something in it can make the heart’s arteries (动脉) get bigger and help blood move through your body better.
That’s not the only good news for chocolate lovers.
Some scientists already say that eating chocolate doesn’t give people pimples or make them worse. It is not always what you eat that gives you pimples.
Chocolate only gives people bad teeth if they eat too much at once. The sugar in chocolate can be bad for the teeth, but the cocoa butter (可可油) can be good for them.
Chocolate also has a lot of fat in it. The fat gives us too much cholesterol (胆固醇), and that can be bad for the heart. So it is best to just eat a little at a time.
There are many different kinds of tasty chocolate treats, and most of us love to eat some of them. But which kind is the best for our health?
Dark chocolate is better for the heart than milk chocolate. Also, dark chocolate has less fat. But with over 300 chemicals (化学物质) in chocolate, there is still a lot we don’t know.
So feel free to enjoy a chocolate bar, but take it easy. Save the other one for later!

One of this summer’s hottest books is “That Guy Was Cool.” Sounds like a great book for kids, doesn’t it? But parents and teachers want to read this one, t oo. It can teach them something about the language of today’s kids.
So lots of people, young and old, went to see the book’s author, 19-year-old Korean girl Guiyeoni, on Saturday. She was in Beijing to sign books for her fans.
“Guiyeoni wrote a story that is near to us and goes to our hearts,” said Zhong Chuyi, a Junior 2 student in Beijing. “When I read it, I laughed and I cried.”
Like the “Meteor Garden” TV series, “That Guy Was Cool” tells an unusual story of love between two students. The girl is sweet, but she’s just average. The boy is good-looking and has everything, but he is often unhappy because his father died when he was very young. They become close and help each other to be happy. In the end, they fall in love.
“The girl in the book is like me. She’s simple and moody,” said Guiyeoni.
Guiyeoni’s book doesn’t only use words. It also uses things like emoticons. Emoticons are small icons, like smiling faces, and they are used to show emotions. Kids know what these things mean, because they often use them when they talk on the Internet or send messages with mobile phones.
Guiyeoni said she wrote this way because of her young readers.
“Writing with pictures is vivid and can say a lot of things,” she said.
Guiyeoni began writing the book’s story on the Web in 2001 when she was a Senior 2 student. Last year, she put that online story together to make this book. “That Guy Was Cool” has been made into a film, and it will come out in Korea next month.
This is Guiyeoni’s first of four books, and she hopes to keep writing as she goes through college.
She also has a message for young writers.
“I think that if they try hard, lots of young people can do this.”
( )11. Guiyeoni is .
A. a girl who falls in love with her classmate
B. the author of “Meteor Garden”
C. a young writer
D. one of the emoticons
( )12. Which of the following may not be an emoticon?
A. 8-)
B.
C. See you.
D. :{
( )13. The author used emoticons to write the book because .
A. she really likes them
B. she wants her young readers to be interested
C. pictures can say lots of things
D. she was only a Senior student when she was writing the story
( )14. Which of the following sayings has the closest meaning to “I t hink that if they try hard, lots of young people can do this”?
A. Seeing is believing.
B. Time flies.
C. No news is good news.
D. Where there is a will, there is a way.
( )15. We can infer from the passage .
