became a best-selling author, he was famous for his vivid lectures. In his

war. Last year, after The Boston Globe carried accounts of Ellis’s experience in
the Vietnam war, someone who knew the truth about Ellis dropped a dime (揭发) .

Even in fresh water sharks hunt and
kill. The Thresher shark, capable of lifting a small boat out of the water, has
been sighted a mile inland on the Fowey River in Corn-wall. Killer sharks swim
rivers to reach Lake Nicaragua in Central America; they average one human victim
each year. Sewage and garbage attract sharks inland. When floods
carry garbage to the rivers they provide a rich diet which sometimes stimulates
an epidemic of shark attacks. Warm water generally provides shark food, and a
rich diet inflames the shark’s aggression. In British waters
sharks usually swim peacefully between ten and twenty miles off- shore where
warm water currents fatten mackerel and pilchards for their food. But the shark
is terrifyingly unpredictable. One seaman was severely mauled as far north as
Wick in Scotland. Small boats have been att A. salt water B. fresh water C. warm water D. deep water

Even before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family. Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mom, I can’t peel potatoes. I have only one hand.”
Mom never looked up from sewing. “You get.yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me. “And don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”
In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.
That night I told Mom about it. She hugged me, and I saw her “we’ll see about that” look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.
“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow. A. Cruel. B. Serious. C. Strict. D. Cold.
