Sea horses are unusual parents. The female sea horses lay the eggs, but unlike other creatures, it's the males that give birth to the young.
Male sea horses have a fold of skin on their bellies that forms pocket, called a brood pouch. During the breeding season, the sea horse's pouch swells to receive eggs. A female sea horse lays up to 200 eggs at a time in the pouch. Then she swims off, leaving her male partner to care for the developing eggs and give birth to young sea horses. The female will return everyday to check on her mate and the eggs, but she doesn't stay long, nor does she take part in the birth.
It takes from two to six weeks for the eggs in the male's pouch to develop. During this time the male avoids open water and hides in sea grass. His big pouch makes it difficult for him to swim, so the male often uses his tail to grasp a piece of sea grass. Firmly gripping the grass, he will stay perfectly still for hours or even days. The male sea horse will change his color to blend with his surroundings and avoid being seen by predators who will try to eat him or poke holes in his pouch to get the eggs.
The eggs hatch inside the male's pouch. When the babies begin moving around, the male sea horse knows it's time for them to be born. He grabs a sea grass stem with his tail and begins rocking, bending, and stretching his body so that the rest of the babies can be born. Sometimes he has to press his pouch against a rock Or some stiff seaweed to force the young out.
Sea horse babies are born in groups of five or more. Sometimes it takes two days for the father sea horse to give birth to all his young. He is very tired when it's over.
Soon after giving birth to one brood, the male will approach his mate and show her his empty pouch. This tells her he is ready to receive eggs again.
What part does the female sea horse play in having babies？
A．Receiving eggs.
B．Laying eggs.
C．Hatching eggs.
D．Protecting eggs.

听力原文：The estimated one-fifth of children in London's schools who cannot read simple se
听力原文： The estimated one-fifth of children in London's schools who cannot read simple sentences by the age of eight should be given special help. This is the main conclusion of an independent report on London's 700 primary schools. The report, which is the result of a year's work, tells London's primary schools that they must demand more of their children.
Most parents were happy with the schools, but some said that their children's pace of learning might be too slow. The report confirmed this by stating that much of the new work must have been taught at the same level of difficulty as the old.
The report emphasized that children should not be tortured but more should have been expected of them in schools. This would mean that some children might have achieved much more than the limited demands made on them by comprehension exercises or copying out from textbooks.
Mrs. Morrel, who commissioned the report, said that all London's schools must put into effect a framework of reform. Every child ought to be able to read by the age of eight.
Other reforms mentioned in the report were that parents should be better represented on school governing committees and that each school ought to draw up a development plan, listing what improvements it can make. Parents should also be represented on the education committee.

A．They should not be too strict with the children.

There is severe classic tragedy within major-league baseball, tragedy which catches and manipulates the fife of every athlete as surely as forces beyond the heaths manipulated Hardy’s simple Wes-sex folks into creatures of imposing stature.
Major-league baseball is an insecure society; it pays a lavish salary to an athlete and then, when he reaches thirty-five or so, it abruptly stops paying him anything. But the tragedy goes considerably deeper than that. Briefly, it is the tragedy of fulfillment.
Each major leaguer, like his childhood friends, always wanted desperately to become a major leaguer. Whenever there was trouble at home, in school, or with a girl, there was the sure escape of baseball; not the stumbling, ungainly escape of an ordinary ballplayer, but a sudden, wondrous metamorphosis into the role of a hero. For each major leaguer was first a star in his neighborhood or in his town, and each rived with the unending solace that there was one thing he could always do with grace and skill and poise. Somehow, he once believed with the most profound faith he possessed, that if he ever did make the major leagues, everything would then become ideal.
A major-league baseball team is comprised of twenty-five youngish men who have made the major leagues and discovered that, in spite of it, life remains distressingly short of ideal. In retrospect, they were better off during the years when their adolescent dream was happily simple and vague. Among the twenty-five youngish men of a ball club, who individually held the common dream which came to be fulfilled, cynicism and disillusion are common as grass. So Willie Mays angrily announces that he will henceforth charge six hundred dollars to be interviewed, and Duke Snider shifts his dream-site from a ball park to an avocado farm overlooking the Pacific, and Peewee Reese tries to fight off a momentary depression by saying, "Sure I dreamt about baseball when I was a kid, but not the night games. No, sir. I did not dream about the fights. "
For most men, the business of shifting and reworking dreams comes late in life, when there are older children upon whose unwilling shoulders the tired dreams may be deposited. It is a harsh, jarring thing to have to shift dreams at thirty, and if there is ever to be a major novel written about baseball, it will have to come to grips with this theme.
The first paragraph indicates that______.
A．winning and losing ball games are both heartbreaking experiences
B．no baseball player can escape the tragedy inherent in major-league baseball
C．tragedy catapults baseball players into creatures of imposing stature
D．Hardy, the novelist, wrote ennobling stories about athletes

The United Nations declared 2011 to 2012 the Year of the Bat. The campaign was launched as a way to strengthen efforts for protecting the world's only flying mammal. These creatures can be found in many parts of the world. Bats live in cities, deserts, grasslands and forests.There are over 1,200 bat species.
The smallest bat in the world is from Southeast Asia.This kind of bat measures about 30 millimeters in length. The world's largest bat, the Giant Golden-Crowned Flying Fox, has a wingspan of 1.5 meters.Most bats eat insects,but many feed on fruit or nectar from flowers.
Many people think bats are blind,but this is not true.Many species have very good sight.Most bats communicate and find their way by making"echolocation" (回声定位法 ) noises.They produce high-frequency noises and can estimate the distance of an object by using the sound echoes that bounce back to them. So, while bats may travel in total darkness, they"see"using sound.
Sadly, bats are widely feared and misunderstood. Most bats come out of their shelters only at nightfall. Three bat species feed on blood. Because of these qualities, bats have long been linked in many cultures to death, darkness and blood-drinking.
Yet bats are important for agriculture and our environment. They help pollinate (授粉)plants and spread seeds. They also help control insects. Bats eat huge numbers of insects,including kinds that damage crops.
For example, a brown bat can eat more than 1,000 insects in one hour.Onereport says bats save American farmers billions of dollars every year by reducing crop damage and limiting the need for chemicals that kill insects.
Over one-fifth of all bat species are under threat. They face disease and the human destruction of their natural environments.In some areas, diseases have killed nearly 100% of bat populations.
