If you ask Jeff Shea who is from California where he is going or where he has been to. you'd better get a drink, sit back in your favourite chair and fresh yourself up to hear a long story.
The sixty-year-old adventurer (探险家) Shea has walked across Africa, Europe, America, Asia and other continents. In his free time, he has also climbed the highest mountains all over the world. When he climbed Mount Qomolangma, he did not take the“easy route (路线)”——the southern side of the Himalaya Mountains from India and Nepal, but the most dangerous northern side from Xizang, China.
Shea travels in his own way, seldom moving directly from Point A to Point B or just following anyone else's route. Travel clubs for country collectors, divide (划分) the world up into 325,875 and l281 parts, but Shea has his own idea. He divides the world into 3978 parts. He has visited 2,330 of them and decided to complete the rest of them before his travelling days are over.
Shea's love for traveling, however, isn't about these numbers, life goals or risks (风险) .For him, travel is like a great activity, one that makes one's mind larger. In 2012,he founded (组建) an organization called World Parks in order to realize a great dream：making world leaders (领导者) protect wild places as “world” parks instead of “national (国家的)” parks. He is nothing if he is not ambitious (野心勃勃的). “My goals to change the world,” he said.
1．Jeff climbed Mount Qomolangma from ________.
A．the southern side in India B．the southern side in Nepal C．the northern side in China D．all the above 2．What does the word “continents” mean in Paragraph 2?
A．大陆 B．岛屿 C．山峰 D．海峡 3．Which is NOT true according to the passage?

B．Shea thinks the leaders of the world should take action to protect the wild places. C．Shea has been climbing highest mountains all around the world for over 60 years. D．Shea did not climb so many high mountains for the numbers, life goals and risks. 4．This article suggests (暗示) that ________.
A．only the world leaders can do something to change the world
B．we should climb as many high mountains as we can before our travelling days are over C．World Parks, an organization founded by Jeff Shea is a club for climbing mountains D．every one of us should do something to make the world better for humans and animals

One day John invited me to his farm. When I arrived at his farm, I was surprised to see a pig with three artificial (人造的) legs. I asked John why the pig had them. He said, “One day, while I was checking one of the tires (轮胎）of my car, the car suddenly started to move slowly and then I was trapped under the wheel. Just then Pinky, the pig, saw this.
