I was sitting in an airport when a woman behind me asked, \the best gift you've ever got?\and listened for an answer. 4tYou mean like, the best birthday present?,, a young man said, ''Probably the gold coin I got for graduation.” I threw my magazine onto a neighboring chair and thought about the question. What's the best gift I've ever got? Good health aside, when it comes to material objects, for me the answer is easy. It was a high school graduation present, gift-wrapped and hand-delivered by my grandfather. He handed it to me and said, \dig in and get a little dirt on you.\
That fall, I went off to college and that shiny new green-handled spade with the silver blade （刀刃）hung untouched on the wall in my parents, garage. A few years later, I had my own family and that graduation spade made its way from my folks5 garage into my own. I dug gardens, planted trees, roses and bushes. The spade was nothing but a tool.
The years rolled by. The spade has lost some of its color and I've added some gray, but I still dig hard into the earth, more often than ever. It's more than a trusted workout partner. Ifs a reminder of my family, one proudly rooted in agriculture. It's a useful tool with a memorable message about staying close to the earth. Priceless!
A few months from now, my daughter will finish graduate school, and she has already had a job waiting in another city. She's knowledge-rich but cash-poor, and though she's expecting nothing from me, I have something valuable to give her before she moves away. It'll be wrapped of course, and it'll be worth the weight in gold.
4. Why did the author mention his experience in the airport? A. To compare his gift with the man's. B. To introduce the topic of the text. C. To recall his graduation ceremony. D. To share his way of killing time. 5.How was the spade dealt with at first?
A. It was hung on the wall. B. It was sold for gold coins. C. It was used to plant trees. D. It was wrapped without touch.
6.What does the author consider the spade? A. A practical garden tool. B. An ordinary workout partner. C. A very precious present. D. A reminder of his school life. 7.What can we infer from the text? A. The family makes a living by farming. B. The spade is kept in the garage at present. C. The author gradually changed his attitude to life. D. The spade will be passed down to the next generation.

Running after fireflies （萤火虫）on a warm summer night might become a rare childhood memory if humans don't take action. There are over 2,000 different firefly species around the world, but their populations are decreasing due to artificial light pollution, pesticides （杀虫剂）and smaller habitat size.
A team of Tufts University-led researchers surveyed scientists and conservationists about the threats to firefly populations around the world. According to the study, one of the main threats to fireflies in East Asia and South America is artificial light. Fireflies light up to attract mates, but they can easily mistake human-made lights as potential partners. Adult fireflies typically live only a few days, which doesn't give them long to find a mate.
Humans' destroying the insects' natural habitats creates another threat. During their larval phase （幼虫期），Malaysian fireflies live in riverside bushes that are often pulled out for human-made fish farms. In Europe, Lampyris fireflies are finding less food to eat due to the growing urbanization of what were once woods and farmlands. In Malaysia, adult pteroptyx fireflies that usually prefer to mate in specific trees next to rivers have to find new mating areas because the trees are being knocked down for farmhouses.
The study also looked at the effects of climate change, tourism, invasive （侵入的）species and water pollution. On a positive note, while fireflies around the world seem to be suffering from the previously mentioned issues, Big Dipper fireflies living in the US happen to be booming. \a biologist from Tufts University.
The study urges countries where firefly populations are dwindling to take measures to preserve suitable habitats, lessen light pollution, reduce use of pesticides and develop better guidelines for tourism around known firefly areas.
8.What mainly causes the drop of the firefly population in East Asia? A. Light pollution.
B. Habitat loss.
C. Climate change. D. Food shortage.
9.Which of the following is more likely to adapt to the environment? A. The Malaysian firefly. B. The Lampyris firefly. C. The Pteroptyx firefly. D. The Big Dipper firefly. 10.What does the underlined word “dwindling” in paragraph 5 mean? A. on the rise B. on the decrease C. under control
D. out of control
11.What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Watching fireflies is a rare childhood memory. B. Cooperation is the key to firefly protection.
