They decided to donate the books to the North Shore Medical Centre, a children‟s hospital next door to their school. “There are books for kids of all ages, from babies up to high school level.” Said Jenny.The students put the books into “early readers”, “middle readers” and “advanced readers”. Then they wrote their best wishes to patients on bookmarks(书签) and letters, put the books in big boxes and donated them to the hospital.“We wrote things like,‘Keep on reading!‟ and … Hope you feel better!‟” said John, 14, Jenny‟s brother. “A nd we also wrote some funny things to make them laugh.”Frank, 12, and Steven, 14, helped carry 16 large boxes of books into a car. “ I think these 2012年4月初三英语自测（一）第3 页共10 页books will make a lot of patients feel happy.” Said Frank.

Charlie, as he was called , used to do his mother‟s job in the theatre when she was ill.When he was only 17 years old, Chaplin got his first real job as an actor. What he did was to do silly things to make people laugh in the theatre. Seven years later he went to the USA. And over the next four years, he formed his own way of art. He developed the character( 角色) of a homeless gentleman which became very popular.From the 1920s to the 1950s, Chaplin made his most famous films. The film Modern Times(1936) shows his care about the modern industry workers. Many of his films describe the poor life and hard time of the working people during that period.Although Charlie Chaplin was British, he lived in the USA until 1953. But he never got US nationality. Then Chaplin, his wife and his five children had to move to Switzerland where he lived until he died. When he was 83 years old, he won his only Oscar for the music he wrote for the film Limelight. He was named Sir Charles Chaplin at the age of 85.

Instead, they held on to the shelves and tried to stop the goods (货物)from falling down.Reporters from NHK, the country‟s largest TV station, stayed calm in front of cameras during the earthquake, even though some were facing real danger.The earthquake was the most powerful one to hit Japan in the country‟s history. But Japan‟s reaction( 反应) to the accident has shown that it is the most earthquake-prepared country in the world. The calm the Japanese showed during and after the quake has impressed the world.This is because Japan has “an earthquake culture”. Japanese people are taught how to prepare for and react to earthquakes from a young age.Schools in Japan organize earthquake practices every month. They make students become familiar with being in an earthquake.Japan also has a good earthquake warning system(警报系统). Warning were broadcast on television, radio and mobile phones nine seconds after experts( 专家) first knew about the quake on March 11.The warning system is unable to predict earthquakes. But it can usually alert people about 15 seconds before they feel the effects.

What do we mean by “culture?” Lately social scientists have begun to ask if culture is found just in humans, or if some animals have culture too. When we speak of culture, we mean a way of life a group of people have in common. Culture includes the beliefs and attitudes we learn. It is the patterns( 样式) of behavior that help people to live together. It is also the patterns of behavior that make one group of people different from another group.Our culture lets us make up for having lost our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses. Instead we use tools, cooperate with one another, and communicate ( 交流) with language. But these aspects of human behavior, or “culture,” can also be found in the lives of certain animals. Animals can make tools, for example. We used to think that the ability to use tools was the dividing line between human beings and other animals. Lately, however, we have found that this is not the case. Chimpanzees( 黑猩猩) can not only use tools but actually make tools themselves. Animals can also share knowledge with each other and use their own language to know that the line dividing(区分) us from animals is not as clear as we used to think.57.When we talk about “culture”, we mean________.A. book language of behavior we learnB. the patterns of behavior we learnC. traditional ideasD. people‟s habits58.We thought ____________ was the biggest difference between human beings and other animals.A. cooperating with one anotherB. communicating with languageC. using toolsD. losing long teeth59.It‟s ___________ that animals have a culture too.A. sureB. unbelievableC. possibleD. important60.
