1、A recent study drawing on 28 years of data has proved the old saying: There's no such thing as a free lunch. In the study, scientists found that dolphin mothers that interact (互动) with boaters have nearly twice as many babies as female dolphins that stay away. But those babies are nine times more likely to die before reaching adulthood. The number one cause of their death in Sarasota Bay is associated with sport fishing. That high death rate poses a problem for the population as a whole.
In the United States, feeding dolphins is illegal under the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, but it still happens often. Even though we might not mean to, with just our presence, we're conditioning animals to be around humans more. That closeness increases a dolphin's risk of being struck by a boat, trapped in a fishing line, or caught by a fishing hook.
Dolphins are smart and social animals and their begging has motivations. Getting fish from people instead of hunting could allow female dolphins to save time and energy that they can instead put toward reproduction. It makes sense that the dolphins eating up bait (诱饵), getting fish from a fisher's line, and approaching boats for food can have more babies. However, studies of other species around the world, such as green sea turtles in the Bahamas, show that animals that become dependent on human handouts stop hunting for food. This is true of Sarasota Bay's dolphins, and it's a preference that they pass on. Dolphins from one family have been approaching boats for four generations. That behavior is even more dangerous for the youngsters — little dolphins can be killed by boats or fishing equipment as they try to stay close to their moms.
For these dolphin mothers, losing multiple babies one by one likely causes emotional distress. Over time, this stress on female dolphins and the deaths of so many babies could cause population numbers to fall.
We can't stop the dolphins from interacting with humans. But we can teach people to enjoy wild animals from a safe distance. And for dolphins' own good, stop giving them food.

2、I was taught at a young age to be afraid rather than to experience life. Don't ride a bike because you might get hit by a car. Don't swim because you might drown. That's why I was at the very beginning afraid to come near to others. They might say no — how could I live with that rejection(拒绝)?
A book changed me. Near the end of the book, the writer suggested trying out what I had just read but to pretend it was like the training games in a sport — where the results didn't count. When my teams would lose formal games, I couldn't bear to watch. But when they lost in the training games, I didn't care.
I don't know why the suggestion resonated with me. But I knew this new way of thinking worked for me. It gave me power to know the results didn't matter because this was the exhibition game when I was practicing what I had learned before the real games started.
I discovered there were other ways to use this new tool. It allowed me to have a successful sales career, even though I heard the word "no" hundreds of times. It was part of the business, but I didn't let it get me down. I turned a negative into a positive by reasoning that every time I heard the word "no", it meant I was one step closer to "yes". It's amazing how powerful you feel when you remove the fear that stops you from going after what you want in life.
I still do my sales job, and we have a lot of high-school and college students working at the company. I will pass on the advice that I learned many years ago and encourage them to use that idea for whatever they want to achieve.
(1)、How was the author's character when he was young?A、Helpful. B、Outgoing. C、Unsociable. D、Confident.(2)、What does the underlined word "resonated" in paragraph 3 mean?A、Meet. B、Agree. C、Fight. D、Deal.(3)、Which of the following may the book writer agree with?A、The training games are also important. B、Whatever the game is, it doesn't count. C、Don't worry about life's gains and losses. D、Just have a try and don't care about the results. -

20、阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内所给单词的正确形式。
The number of female suffering from eating disorders is (universal) far higher than male. Chen says the rate of female to male sufferers is (large) than 10 to 1 in China.
"I believe a main factor is that social culture puts more pressure on women in terms of (anxious) about appearance. Women with pretty faces and slim figures seem (be) more likely to succeed. Therefore, some college students start losing weight in preparation job interviews," says Chen.
A 19-year-old woman, finally ended her two-year fight with anorexia (厌食症), says that she believes fact that female patients are in greater number than male patients is a result of societal expectations.
"One reason that I finally defeated the disease was that I (become) aware that the idea of thinness and weight instilled in women is harmful to my health and how painful and difficult it would be to live with a body like that. But for many going through teenage years, to meet these (standard) of beauty becomes unshakable. I hope to help more women overcome these concepts," says the woman, (use) the nickname Lam.
