7、Indian's snake charmers (耍蛇者) are to be retrained as wildlife teachers under a plan to prevent their unique skills and knowledge from being lost. The charmers, who make snakes dance to the sound of flutes (笛子), used to be a traditional feature of Indian life, performing in towns and villages, until they were forbidden in 1972 to control the trade in snake skins.

The government is now considering a plan to train the charmers, as they are known, to visit schools and zoos to tell children about forests and wildlife. There is also a proposal to set up a “dial a snake charmer” service to help householders to deal with unwelcome intruders.

“For generations they have been a feature of Indian life but now they can't earn a living for fear of arrest,” said Behar Dutt, a conservationist behind the plans, “if a policeman doesn’t catch them, animal rights activists report them.”

Many snake charmers have continued to work clandestinely since the ban, despite the threat of up to three years in prison. But their cloth-covered baskets, hung from a bamboo pole carried across their shoulders, make them an easy target for police.

The fate of Shisha Nath, 56, from Badarpur, a village just outside of Delhi, is typical of practitioners (從業(yè)者) of the dying art. “I used to earn enough to support my family and send my children to school,” he said. “Now it's hard to earn any money a day. My children want to be snake charmers. It’s our identity. We love the work. But it’s become impossible.”

Next month Dutt’s project to train 30 snake charmers will begin at a snake park in Pune, western India, where experts will enrich their home-grown skills with some formal knowledge.

More than the law, though, it is the dishonest attitude of their fellow countryman that angers many snake charmers.

“We’re disturbed all the time but when people want a snake removed from the house, they rush to us,” said Prakash Nath, who was ordered recently to the home of Sonia Gandhi, the Congress party leader.

6、Miss Wenter was watching TV when the program suddenly stopped. “Sorry to interrupt the program. Now we are requested to broadcast an important notice from the police station. At about nine this evening, a lady named Mrs. Humney was robbed and killed. Anyone who can supply any clue is requested to report to the police. Thank you.” The terrible news made the lonely girl shake with fear. She couldn’t help looking around, but she didn’t notice that a man was already hidden behind the door to the veranda (陽臺(tái)).

All of a sudden the man appeared before Miss Wenter. The girl really didn’t know what to do. “Don’t ask for trouble. Put your jewellery on the table. Then think over whether I shall be safe to stay up here for the night,” said the robber. That made Miss Wenter even more terrified, but she tried to calm herself.

Just then came the whistle of a police car. In a little while, someone rang the doorbell. The robber said with a gun against the girl’s back, “Go to the door and say that you’ve gone to bed. Never let him in.”

In a flash, the girl had an idea. “Oh, who are you?” she said. “Is there anything unusual?” asked the policeman. “No, there isn’t. Good night!” Immediately she added loudly, “Besides, my elder brother extends his warm greeting to you.” “Thank you. Good night,” the policeman replied in the same manner.

A few minutes later the sound of the police car going away could be heard. “It’s well done,” the robber said with a smile. Then he rushed to the girl. Almost at the same time the glass on the window was broken. The policemen hurried into the room from the veranda. They quickly put handcuffs (手銬) on the robber.

“Miss Wenter, your greetings were so good that it made us take action right away,” said Sergeant Bull, “because we’ve already known that your brother was killed in a robbery half a year ago.”

5、Eat your vegetables. Cut back on snacks. Our parents are always nagging (嘮叨) us to eat properly. When we are constantly reminded to choose healthy foods, the fun is taken out of eating. Sometimes it even makes you do just the opposite: eat junk.

　　Now there’s a nag-free reminder to eat healthily: the Healing Foods Pyramid.

　　Created by nutrition experts at the University of Michigan in the United States, the pyramid is fun, easy way to learn how to eat and what to eat.

　　The pyramid has strips in colors going from the left to the right. There are also pictures of all sorts of foods. “Study it for a while and you’ll remember which foods are really needed in your diet. You’ll see that dairy foods are kind of in the middle, and understand that you should probably eat less of them,” said Monica Myklebust, a nutrition expert.

　　“And learn that meat and chocolate are closer to the top, so you should eat even less of these foods. At the very base of the pyramid is water. We know that our bodies are more than 50 percent water, so water is very important to our lives.”

　　Pretty easy, isn’t it?

　　The pyramid also tells people that they should eat whole foods: tomatoes rather than tomato juice, oranges rather than orange juice. Juice has a lot less pulp (果肉) than the whole fruit, which is a good source of fiber. Juice quickly loses its natural vitamin C．

　　It’s called the Healing Foods Pyramid to emphasize the healing properties (特性) of the food. For example, fresh garlic can help fight colds, sore throats and ear infections.

　　“Food is medicine,” said Myklebust. “Foods have healing properties and we’ve included these foods in our pyramid.”

　　There is even a little blank space at the very top for your favorite treat — chocolate chip cookies or strawberry ice cream, for example. Treats heal, too, simply by making you feel good, Myklebust said. But remember, just once a day. And one scoop, not two, please.

1．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT right?

　　A．We should eat less of meat and chocolate.

    B．It’s better to eat oranges than orange juice.

　　C．Dairy foods are healthier, so we should eat more of them.

　　D．Water is very important to our lives.

2．The purpose of the writer to write the passage is_______.

　　A．to advertise a new kind of food

　　B．to persuade us not to eat junk food

　　C．to tell the readers food is medicine

　　D．to introduce the Healing Foods Pyramid

3．What can be inferred from the passage?

　　A．We should only eat healthy food.

　　B．Juice is better than the whole fruit.

　　C．We can eat what we like, but not too much.

　　D．Only when we are constantly reminded to choose healthy foods can we eat healthily.
