It is often necessary to release a fish, that is , set it free after catching, because it is too small, or you just don’t want to take it home to eat. In some cases, releasing fish is a good measure that will help keep fish variety and build their population size. The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) encourages fishermen who practice catch-and-release fishing to use a few simple skills when doing so. The advice provided below will help make sure that the fish you release will survive (存活) to bite again another day.
—When catching a fish, play it quickly and keep the fish in the water as much as possible.
Don’t use a net in landing the fish and release it quickly to prevent it from dying.
—Hold the fish gently. Do not put your fingers in its eyes. Don’t wipe the scales (鱼鳞) off thefish because it might cause it to develop a disease and reduce its chance of survival.
—Remove your hook (鱼钩) quickly. If the hook is too deep or hooked in the stomach, cut the line and leave the hook in. The hook left inside will cause no serious problem to the fish.
—Take good care of the fish by moving it gently in water . Release the fish when it begins tostruggle and is able to swim.
—Do not hold fish in a bucket or some other containers and later decide to release it. If you aregoing to release a fish, do so right away.
With a little care and by following the suggestions given above, you can give the released fish a better chance of survival.

Many people eventually get round to trading in their first car. But not Mike Harrison. He loves his 1931 black Bentley sports car so much that he’s still driving it – 54 years after be bought it.
Mr Harrison was 20 when he paid ￡150 (about ￡3,000 now) for the car after passing his test in 1956. It had already done 85,000 miles and he has since driven it a further 100,000, yet the car still runs like clockwork.
It is now one of only three left in the country and is worth ￡250,000. Despite its value, Mr Harrison, 74, says he would never sell the car “which has been my best friend and part of my family all my life”.
Mr Harrison courted his wife Jenny in it during the early sixties and it was their family car when children Caroline, now 46, and Ben, 42, came along. Even when he took - 2 -
a job as an advertising executive which came with the company car of his choice, Mr Harrison kept the Bentley.
He said: 'How many people still have their first car these days when everything is so disposable? But it is a real eye-catcher. It has something that modern cars just don't have - style and character. 'I still drive it most days, even though it only does about 15 miles to the gallon!' Petrol was just six shillings (30p) a gallon when Mr Harrison bought the Bentley, which had a top speed of 120mph.
He has spent thousands of pounds on repairs over the years but has kept the bodywork in good condition himself, hand-painting the underneath and spraying the black panels of the bodywork.
For decades the Bentley was a regular sight on the roads near Mr Harrison's home in Hampton Court, Surrey. He now uses it as a runaround after retiring to Whitney-on-Wye, Herefordshire.
Mrs Harrison, 71, said: “It was a nuisance(累赘) keeping it in tip-top order with me helping out with the repairs by passing Mike the spanners the whole time. But I wouldn't have changed any of it --- I feel like a Queen every time I'm in it.” 1. When Mike Harrison bought his black Bentley sports car, it was.

America’s population was booming and spreading west in the early 1800’s. Westward expansion came mostly at the expense of the Indians who were often forced to move from their native lands.
In the state of Georgia, the population increased 600 percent in the matter of 40 years. - 4 -
As a result, many of its native tribes(部落) were pushed out. The Cherokee Indians, of western Georgia had managed to keep their land until gold was discovered in their territory in 1828. In 1830, however, president Andrew Jackson authorized (批准) the Indian Removal Act. The Cherokees fought the law, and it was overturned by chief justice John Marshall two years later.
Just three years later, however, in 1835, the Treaty of New Echota was signed. The "Treaty" was not authorized by the Cherokee Nation, but rather, a small group of Cherokee radicals led by John Ridge. Under the "Treaty", the Cherokee were to leave Georgia and the government would compensate them at a price determined to be about 5 percent of the value of the land. The majority of the Cherokee Nation would never had agreed to the "Treaty", but the U.S. government ratified it anyway. John Ridge was thus seen as a traitor by the Cherokees - and would later pay with his life. The Georgia government then staged a "land lottery" in which Cherokee land was divided into 160 equal portions. They were sold to anyone who had $4.00 and who had won a chance to own land.
In 1838, General Winfield Scott and 7,000 troops invaded Cherokee land. Men, women, and children were forced to walk westward from Georgia nearly 1,000 miles with minimal facilities and food, to reservations set up for them in Oklahoma. Cherokee chief John Ross, eventually was able to convince Winfield Scott that his people should lead the tribe west. Scott agreed and Ross divided the people into smaller groups so they could forage for food on their own. Although Ross may have save countless lives, nearly 4,000 Indians died walking this Trail of Tears.
1. Which of the following happened first?
A. Cherokees’ walk to Oklahoma. C. The Treaty of New Echota. B. The Indian Removal Act. D. The Georgia “Land Lottery”.
答案解析：答案为B。本题为细节题。由文章第二段倒数第二句话 “In 1830, however, president Andrew Jackson authorized the Indian Removal Act.”可知，B选项发生在1830年；由第三段第一句话 “Just three years later, however, in 1835, the Treaty of New Echota was signed.”可知，C选项发生在1835年；由第三段倒数第二句话 “The Georgia - 5 -
government then staged a ‘land lottery’ in which Cherokee land was divided into 160 equal portions.”可知，D选项发生在Treaty of New Echota后; 由最后一段前两句话 “ In 1838, General Winfield Scott and 7,000 troops invaded Cherokee land. ?set up for them in Oklahoma.”可知，A选项发生在最后。故答案为B。
2. The underlined part “ratified it” (in Para. 3) can be replaced by “ ”.
A. made it official
C. removed it B. signed it secretly D. ignored it
答案解析：答案为A。本题为语义推断题。结合该短语出现的句子 “The majority of the Cherokee Nation would never had agreed to the ‘Treaty’, but the U.S. government ratified it anyway.”, “ratified it” 出现在 “but” 后面，可见该短语和前面的never had agreed to the “Treaty" 意思相反，故答案为A，使条约正式化。
3. Why was John Ridge viewed as a traitor by the Cherokees?
A. Because he sold his land to the U.S.Government at a low price. B. Because he represented the U.S. Govermment. C. Because he signed an unfair treaty for the Cherokees. D. Because he carried out a “land lottery” in Georgia.
答案解析：答案为C。本题为推理题。细读第三段，Treaty of New Echota被签署，但不是经过Cherokee 民族批准的，而是由John Ridge领导的一小群Cherokee极端分子干的，规定Cherokee民族离开Georgia，政府赔偿给他们原有土地的百分之五，大多数Cherokee 人并不同意该条约，但是美国政府最终还是批准了该条约，因此John Ridge被认为是Cherokee的民族叛徒。故答案为C。
4. According to the passage, what is the key factor for the “Trail of Tears”?
A. The conflict between the Cherokees and the local government. B. The increase of population in the state of Georgia. C. The constant struggle for land between the native Americans and the settlers. D. The discovery of gold in western Gerogia.
答案解析：答案为D。本题为推理题。文章的最后提到 “nearly 4,000 Indians died walking - 6 -
this Trail of Tears”， 为什么会发生此事？本题实际考察现象背后的实质：Cherokee 印第安人为什么要移民？由文章第二段 “The Cherokee Indians, of western Georgia had managed to keep their land until gold was discovered in their territory in 1828.” 可知，western Georgia 发现了金子后，白人就觊觎此片土地淘金，发生了后来的移民事件，留下了Cherokee 印第安人的血和泪。故答案为D。
