Actress Hayden Panettiere recently got into trouble with Japa nese fishermen as she tried to stop them from killing dolphins.
The 18-year-
old star with some other surfers sailed out to reach the dolphi ns in order to stop them from being driven into a nearby pool and killed, but the six surfers, from Australia and the United St ates, were stopped by a fishing boat before they could reach t hem. The fishermen blocked their way with a boathook (钩篙). It was an ugly, unfriendly and life-
threatening struggle before the surfers were forced to return t o the beach. It is believed that the dolphins were later taken in to a pool and killed.
Panettiere, who is a brave surfer and loyal animal protector, made up her mind to save the dolphins of Japan and said, "It was really frightening. Some of us were hit by the boathook, b ut in the end all we were really worried about was the dolphin s. It was so sad. We were so close to them and they were jum ping out of the water to see us." Breaking down in tears, she a
dded, "One little baby dolphin stuck his head out and looked a t me and the thought that it’s no longer with us is really hard t o take."
The surfers left the country to avoid arrest (逮
捕)by the Japanese police. Panettiere is
now back in Los Angeles.
More than 22,000 dolphins are killed by fishermen in Japan e very year. Many Japanese believe dolphins should be treated like fish.

Her book and the movie b ased on it, tell a story of love and survival during the America n Civil War.

You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victi m or a creator. When you
choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “T hey” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffer ing. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “t hey” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your probl ems, thus internalizing(内
化) your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay tha
t way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.
Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they don’t let this get in the way. They know they ha ve their weaknesses, yet they don’t blame themselves when t hey fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. T hey believe their dance with each sacred(神圣
的) moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part o f life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritu al growth.
Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish (沉
溺) in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others—and even themselves—
to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, ins piration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have c hoice to determine the direction of their lives.
In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various poin ts in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relatio nship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terr
ible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another wit h the same experience may choose to first experience the gri ef, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful cr eative force in his life.
In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have a fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transfor m the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful c reator that you are.
32. What does the word “they” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to ?
A. People and things around you.
B. Opportuniti es and problems.
C. Creators and their choices.
D. Victims a nd their sufferings.
33. What can we learn from Paragraph 3 ?
A. Creators and victims face quite different things in life.
B. Creators and victims are masters of their lives.
C. Victims can influence more people than creators.
D. Compared with victims, creators are more emotional.
34. The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show that _____ _____.
A. strong attachment to (沉浸在）
sufferings in life pulls people into victims
B. people need family support to deal with challengers in life
C. it takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their pains
D. one’s experiences determine his attitude toward life
35. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage ?
A. To define victims and creators.
B. To evaluate victims ag ainst creators.
C. To explain the relationship between victims and creators.
D. To suggest the transformation from victims to creators.
