• 1．I had moved to Japan for a long-term client consulting engagement.After a few days in a Tokyo hotel，I moved to an apartment.After being moved in by my colleagues，it was time to get dinner.I found a pizza deliver flyer in my mailbox and decided to simply order a pizza as I might have the previous week in Manhattan.The phone call to Cali Pizza was easier than anticipated and while waiting for the pizza I set about unpacking.
     Unfortunately，after 45 minutes no pizza.I figured that my "easy" call really wasn't and that I would need to make alternate plans for dinner.While thinking about what to do next，my phone rang.It was Cali Pizza calling to say that they could not find my apartment based on the address that I had given them.Once it was determined that I had provided an incorrect address，the clerk on the phone asked me to describe what I could see from my window.After some back and forth they seemed satisfied that they knew where I was.
     A few minutes later the pizza arrived.This is when my "customer delight" experience took over.First，the delivery person apologized repeatedly for being late，then he showed me the small blue metal plate on my building with the correct address，and finally he refused to accept payment for the pizza because he was late.Net result：one delighted customer（me），and frequent orders from Cali Pizza during my two-year stay in Japan.
     Such "customer delight" experiences become stories I have used to illustrate what it means to truly delight a customer.

• 2．After being born at the end of 1932，Mr Cameron Senior suffered a lot with both legs shortened below the knee and his feet twisted.He went under numerous operations to ease his pain，and eventually both limbs（下肢） had to be cut off.But despite his disability and later losing the sight in one eye，Mr Cameron Senior still gained a successful career as a stockbroker（股票經(jīng)紀人）．
     After moving to England from Scotland as a child，he married Mary and the couple raised four children at the family home in Peasemore，Berks.
     In an interview with The Daily Telegraph two years ago，the Tory leader described the experience of growing up with a father with a disability.He told how once they were on holiday in Cornwall，he overheard someone rudely saying："That guy's wearing funny boots." Mr Cameron（英國前任首相卡梅倫） said he thought to himself，"That's odd，no one ever says that."
     In an ITV interview before the general election，Mr Cameron said of his father，"He's an amazingly brave man because he was born with no heels—quite a disability.But the glass with him was half-full ，normally with something alcoholic，I think I got my sense of optimism from him."
     Mr Cameron also appeared with his parents at an event and said that they understood his idea for "A Big Society"．
     "They showed me how a big society could work every day I was growing up，" he said，"I know what are my responsibilities." Mr Cameron Senior's disability is not thought to have played any part in his death aged 77.Friends said he was "so proud" to see his son become Prime Minister in May，and had visited 10 Downing Street and Chequers.However ，the family's various holiday plans meant that he did not get to meet his latest granddaughter Florence，who was delivered to the PM's wife Samantha last month.

  B．A huge hero figure in the eyes of son.

• 4．A controlled fishing system in Brazil's Amazon River area is helping to save an endangered fish.The fish is the pirarucú .It is also known in Brazil as arapaima.The pirarucú is believed to be the largest of 2，300 different kinds of fish known to live in the Amazon Basin.It can grow to be three meters long and weigh up to 200 kilograms.
     The fish mostly live in lakes across large areas of the Brazilian Amazon.They are carnivores ，meaning they feed on other fish.
     The pirarucú is considered endangered because of overfishing.illegal fishing activities left many communities struggling to find the fish，which traditionally is an important food.In recent years，however，illegal fishing of the pirarucú has been sharply reduced.And the fish has increasingly been recovering.The improvements came after efforts that included close cooperation between communities.
     One of the unusual things about the pirarucú is that they need to breathe air to survive.The fish need to take at least one breath every 20 minutes.They rise to the surface to do so.This behavior by the fish makes it easier to tell how many pirarucús are active in an area.A count of the fish is now carried out once a year by fishermen trained to use the method.By law，only 30 percent of the pirarucú in a certain area can be fished the following year.
     Pirarucú fishing is now done once a year，around September，the period when water levels are lowest.
     Efforts have led to increases in the pirarucú population in some areas.In the Sao Raimundo area，there were 1，335 pirarucús in nearby lakes in 2011，when controlled fishing began.Last year，records showed there were 4，092.In the Carauari area，the number of the pirarucú rose from 4，916 to 46，839 between 2011 and 2021.
  
  （1）Which of the following makes the fish unusual？

  
  A．Its large size.
  B．Its hunting way.
  C．Its medical value.
  D．Its swimming speed.
  （2）What does the underlined word "carnivores" in paragraph 2 mean？

  
  A．Governors.
  B．Meat-eaters.
  C．Fresh water animals.
  D．Healthy creatures.
  （3）Why are the fish easy to count？

  
  A．They always swim on top of water.
  B．They are large enough to be discovered.
  C．They live at the lowest water level.
  D．They surface from time to time.
  （4）What are the numbers in the last paragraph about？

  
  A．Kinds of fish.
  B．Catches of the fish.
  C．Costs of fishing.
  D．Changes of the fish population.

     Pick up a shell and weigh it in your hand.It is heavy.All creatures need sodium to live and most need calcium to build bones and shells.（2）

  When creatures die，their salt is locked up in bones and shells.jye.ai drop to the bottom of the sea.
     （3）

  Sea salt not only dissolves from rocks，it also reacts with the rocks of the ocean crust（外殼） and volcanic lava.The reactions take some of the salts in seawater away from the sea.
     The outer hard crust of Earth is made up of a dozen or so hard plates that drift on extremely hot，soft rock like floating islands on a sea.（4）

  When an ocean plate bumps into a land plate，the less dense land plate floats over the ocean one.The ocean floor gets pushed under，and its salty rocks，along with shells and bones，are lost deep within Earth. （5）

  
  
  A.That's because there is abundant salt in the seas.
  B.Have you got any idea of why the seas are salty？
  C.That's why the seas are salty but don't get any saltier.
  D.Crabs get their sodium and calcium from the seawater.
  E.Reactions between seawater and rocks are not just one way.
  F.The heat isn't the same，causing the movement of the plates.
  G.Have you ever thought about whether the seas will keep getting saltier？
