Does the Yangtze River still have baiji(白鳍豚), the graceful, grey dolphin with tiny eyes and a long narrow beak?

Since November 6, a team of scientists from China, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany and Japan had been searching for any sign of the freshwater dolphin in the middle and lower sections of the river. After six weeks, they came back empty-handed. Wang Ding, head of the team, said he had seen a sharp drop in the baiji population over the past few decades. However, he was still unwilling to call the species extinct and added, “We will try every effort to save them as long as they are not found to be extinct.”

As one of the world?s oldest dolphin species, the baiji is shy and nearly blind. It

dates back about 20 million years and is found only in the Yangtze River. It?s listed as one of the 12 most endangered animal species in the world.

Around 400 baiji were believed to be living in the Yangtze until the 1980s. In 1997, a survey spotted 13. Two years later their number was down to zero.

The rapid disappearance of this dolphin over the past two decades coincided(巧合) with the rapid expansion of economic development along the river. Researchers on some dead baiji collected in recent years showed that more than 90 percent of the deaths were caused by human activities.

One reason is that over-fishing has cut the dolphin?s food sources. Dams built along the river and neighbouring waterways have also kept them from swimming into and out of their habitats. Meanwhile, waste discharge(排放) has seriously polluted the river. And heavy river traffic has greatly reduced their living space.

The disappearance of the baiji would be the first case of a large aquatic(水生的) mammal being driven to extinction since hunting killed off the monk seal around 1952.

62. This passage mainly tells us _______.

A. the fact that Baiji is in danger and the reason why its number reduces B. people are trying efforts to save Baiji as long as they find them C. human activities have caused 90 percent of Baiji?s deaths D. how serious the pollution is long the Yangtze River 63. It is known from the passage that _____.

A. scientists from foreign countries have searched for Baiji for 6 years B. Baiji is a large aquatic mammal which is in danger of extinction C. Baiji becomes endangered all because of human?s activities D. there are 12 endangered species altogether in the world 64. We can infer from the passage that _______.

A. riverside constructions have affected the living environment of animals B. Baiji is one of the world?s oldest species and lives longer than humans C. it is the waste discharge that has poisoned Baiji in Yangtze River D. nowadays scientists are no longer able to save Baiji at all 65. This passage is most probably taken from ______. A. a student?s diary B. a tour guidebook C. a Biology textbook D. a science magazine

However, the next morning the little girl, filled with excitement, brought the gift box to her father and said, “This is for you, Daddy!” As the father held the box, the was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction. But when he opened it, he found it empty and his anger doubled. “Don?t you know, young lady,” he said harshly, “When you give someone a present, there?s supposed to be something inside the package!” The little girl looked up at him with tears rolling from her eyes and said: “Daddy, it?s not empty. I blew kisses into it until it was all full.” The father was moved. He fell on his knees and put his arms around his precious little girl. He begged her to forgive him for his unnecessary anger.

Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child. It is told that the father kept that little golden box by his bed for all the rest of life. Whenever he was discouraged or faced with difficult problems, he would open it, take out an imaginary kiss, and remember the love of this beautiful child who had put it there.
