Every summer, Karen’s father invited paleontologists from around the world to the Karoo. As they hiked through the dry land, he would show them fossil samples(样本) within the layers of sedimentary rock(沉积岩) and ash.
This summer, Karen asked her father if she could go along on the hike. He agreed, but he asked her to stay close by. As they drove to the trail(小径) , Karen’s heart beat quickly with excitement. There were so many places to visit.
The hike was interesting, but Karen was too curious to stay on the trail. Without asking, she ran down into a nearby ravine(峡谷) and looked among the rocks. Then, she heard her father’s voice calling to her. She ran up the side of ravine. Suddenly, she spotted something white and shiny.“Dad!”she shouted excitedly.
Karen’s father stood at the top of the ravine with the other people. They looked worried until Karen pointed to the shiny object. All the paleontologists examined it. They nodded to each other in surprise. It was the skull(骨头) of a dinosaur nobody knew about! The paleontologists took pictures and shook Karen’s hands. Her father smiled, “Karen,” he said. “You are now the youngest paleontologist in the Karoo!”
Paleontologists around the world like to visit the Karoo because______.

The underlined word “spotted”in the fourth paragraph means______.
Which adj. can’t be used to describe the paleontologists’ feelings after they examined the shiny object ?______.

The best title for the passage is_______.
Tokyo may be one of those places that you love and hate at the same time. In Tokyo, there are always too many people in the places where you want to go. There are also too many cars. Tokyo drivers often spend a long time in the busy street, just like drivers in London, Paris and New York.
Tokyo also has a lot of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk in the street. The worst time in the street is at 11:30 at night. That is because the nightclubs are closing at that time and everybody wants to go home then. There are more than 30,000 nightclubs in Tokyo, and usually none of them is empty at night.
During the day, most people go to work by train. Six million train tickets are sold every year in Tokyo. At most stations, trains arrive every two or three minutes, but at certain hours they are not enough at all. Although trains are always crowded, they are very good in many ways. They always leave and arrive on time. In London trains, you may see everybody reading a newspaper. But in Tokyo trains, everybody seems to be sleepy, no matter whether his journey is long or short. If you stand outside the station for five minutes, there will be three fire engines going past you. They are on the way to one of the fires that Tokyo has every day. Tokyo has so many surprises that none of them can really surprise me now.
【小题1】In London, Paris and New York, what are there in the street?【小题2】When is the worst time in the street in Tokyo?
【小题3】How many nightclubs are there in Tokyo?
【小题4】How many train tickets are sold every year in Tokyo?
【小题5】How is the business of the nightclubs in Tokyo?
【小题6】From the passage, does the writer like Tokyo more than he hates?

Welcome to The Film Review Programme！Today we're reviewing some of this week's new films. Let's start with this week's likely hit，Jungle Fever. Some of you may remember last year's TV documentary film about a family of tigers in India. Well，this is an unusual cartoon based on that programme and I can report that it's great fun for people of any age.
Don't miss Swim！，a comedy which takes a look at learning to swim as an adult. It's about a 20—year—old man who wants to join his friends when they swim in the lake near his home. So, he goes to the local pool to take lessons. Be prepared to laugh until it hurts！
And now it's competition time，so I hope you've listened carefully and made some notes！If you want to enter this month's competition，just go online and answer the ten questions in our quiz. Go to www. movies.com and select your answers.
