The dogsled (狗拉雪橇) race was about to begin. Julie’s team of dogs was lined up at the sating gate. Julie stood behind them. The air was so cold that she could see her breath. The other teams were lined up, too, and the dogs were excited. Julie kept her eyes on the clock. At exactly ten o'clock, she and the other racers shouted, “Mush!” The dogs knew that meant “Go!” They jumped forward and the race began!

Julie had trained months for this race, and she hopes she and her dogs would win. Hour after hour, day after day, Julie's dogs pulled the sled in order to get in shape for the race.

Now, they ran over snowy hills and down into frozen valleys. They stopped only to rest and eat. They wanted to stay ahead of other teams. The racers got them to go a thousand miles across Alaska. The dogs, thick fur coats helped keep them warm in the cold winds and weather. In many places along the way, the snow was deep. Pieces of ice were as sharp as a knife. The ice could cut the dogs' feet. To keep that from happening，Julie had put special booties (短靴) on their feet.

At first, the dogs seemed to pull the sled very slowly. They were still getting used to the race.

But on the the third day out, they began to pull more quickly. They worked as a team and passed many other racers. Once, one of the sled's runners slid into a hole and the sled was broken. Julie could have given up then, but she didn't. She fixed it and they kept going.

When they finally reached the finish line, they found out that they had come in first place! It was a great day for Julie and her dogs.

The Rockford police chief and some city officials want to put video cameras in all 100 police cars. They think this will reduce the number of lawsuits (诉讼) filed against the city. In the last five years, Rockford has paid out more than five million dollars to settle about four lawsuits.

The chief said,“If cameras had been in those cars, we wouldn't have had to pay any money. We're always pulling over drunks of drug users who try to fight the police officers or shoot them. Then they always say that the police started basting them first or started shooting at them first.”

The cost of fixing cameras will be about ＄500 per car． The city council (市正厅) will make a final decision on the proposal (提议) next Monday. Ten of the 13 council members, when asked about the proposal, said that they liked the idea. One member said that it is money-saving and it makes common sense. If this is agreed, cameras can be fixed in all the cars within six weeks.

The police officers fully support camera use. One office said that too many people think the police are liars; cameras would show citizens that the police tell the truth.” The money that we've been spending on lawsuits will be better spent our more cameras,” said one officer.

The citizen response to the idea of police car cameras is mixed. One person said that the police should have started doing this years ago when video cameras were invented (发明). But an elderly man said that cameras might be misused.“These police are trying to stick their nose into everything.” he said. He was going to attend the council meeting to stop the proposal. He hoped that other citizens would join him.

34. What is the purpose of fixing video cameras in cars?

A. To help settle about 40 lawsuits.                B. To reduce the number of crimes.

C. To please officials of the city council.            D. To collect evidence in favor of the police.

35. What is the city council's opinion about the proposal of fixing cameras ?

A. The council will turn it down.            B. Most council members support it.

C. Ten council members question it.          D. Ten council members will tell the truth about it.

36. What does the elderly man think of the proposal ?

A. He makes no comment.                 B. He is strongly against it.

C. He thinks it needs to be improved.         D. He doubts whether it is practical.

D

The origins of this website, tasmanian-tiger.com, go back to 1978 when we, Buck and Joan

Emberg, saw two Tasmanian tigers. We called the Department of Parks and Wildlife people and were told not to tell anyone. They said everyone would then be going through the bush tiger-hunting (猎虎). We accepted what they said. Then we found what we thought might be tiger droppings near our house. Excitedly we took them to Hobart, our capital city, and presented our “prize” to an official. He took the droppings and threw it carelessly into a drawer. The result of that action, of course, was the destruction (破坏) of any scientific evidence. This is where we began to feel that something was wrong. Did they really care about saving the animal... If it existed? In short, we and people like us were told to keep it quiet.

Later, we thought we found some tiger prints.The local newspaper published the story and, like most people who admitted they saw a tiger in the wild,we received no respect. That's why we began to set up the website. Now we can use new technologies and are hopeful in proving the animal's existence before the animal's home is threatened.

37. Who set up the tasmanian-tiger.com website ?

A. The city of Hobart.                     B. The local newspaper.

C.The Department of Parks and Wildlife.      D. Buck and Joan Emberg.

38. What did Buck and Joan Emberg believe to have found near their house ?

A. Two living tigers.                      B. Tiger footprints.  

C. Tiger droppings.                       D. Tiger hunters.

39. How did Buck and Joan Emberg feel when they took what they had found to a city official?

A. Excited.          B. Unhappy.         C. Satisfied.         D. Afraid.

40. What is the purpose of the tasmanian-tiger.com website ?

A. To persuade the government to drive away tigers.

B. To prove the existence of Tasmanian tigers.

C. To stop people from hunting Tasmanian tigers.

D. To find a new place for Tasmanian tigers.
