Many high school students in the United States take part in school activities such as sports, bands, math clubs, science clubs, and theater activities. But after-school activities are not just for high school students. Many elementary schools also have after-school programs for students.

Most of the students in elementary after-school programs cannot go home when school ends because both parents work. These students are too young to stay at home alone. So the main purpose (目的) of these programs is just to look after the children until their parents can take them home. And the best part is that many of the activities in elementary schools are free for parents, unlike some daycare centers that are usually very expensive.

The teachers in charge of(負責) the programs want the children to learn while they are there. So the programs may have a special time for children to do their homework. And many schools also keep the school libraries open for students. Students can go to the libraries to read books or to use the libraries』 computers. But after-school programs are not 「all work」. There is also plenty of time for children to play in the school』s playground.

A Man and Many Wolves

The government(政府) wanted to know more about wolves so they sent Farley to learn about wolves.

They put Farley on a plane and sent him to a place in the far north. There were no houses or people in this place. But there were lots of animals—and lots of wolves.

People tell terrible stories about wolves. They say wolves like to kill and eat people. Farley remembered these stories, and he was afraid. He had his gun (槍) with him all the time.

Then one day, he saw a group of wolves. There was a mother wolf with four baby wolves. A father wolf and another young wolf lived with them.

Farley watched these wolves every day. The mother was a very good mother. She gave milk to her babies. She gave them lessons about life. They learned how to get food. The father wolf got food for the mother. They were a nice and happy family—a wolf family!

Farley watched them for five months. He learned many new things about wolves. Wolves don』t eat people, and they don』t eat many large animals. The large animals they eat are often old or sick.

What do they eat most of the time? Lots of small animals. For example, they eat lots and lots of mice.

Now, Farley did not need his gun any more.

閱讀短文,根據其內容回答下列各題。(答案寫在答題紙上)

61. Why did Farley have his gun with him all the time?

Sense of Touch

Touching

Touch is very important to us. It helps us collect information about things around us. When we touch something we know if it is hard like a stone, soft like cotton wool, rough(粗糙的) like the bark of a tree or sharp like a pin.

Keeping us safe

We know through touch when things are hot and cold. If something is very hot, a message is sent to your brain to pull your hand away quickly so that you won』t get burnt.

Blind people

Touch is very important to blind people because they can』t see. They rely on touching things to find out what they are. Blind people read by running their fingers over a page and feeling little lumps (凸起) that spell out the words.
