“My mom started having drugs when I was in fourth grade, so when a friend offered me weed(烟草) in seventh grade, it didn’t seem wrong to try it. Drink made me feel distant from my misery at home, and I started smoking and drinking on a daily basis. Then my mother left. It broke my heart—I felt like she chose drugs over me. But that didn’t make me stop using them. I relied on weed to handle my pain and anger. I moved in with my dad, but he drank a lot and we argued. I’d avoid going home, staying out with friends instead, drinking and getting high. Before, I only smoked for fun, but now I depended on it to help me through each day.
When I turned 18, I went to California and tried to start my life over. But I felt isolated there. I was smoking weed every day. Getting high was all I had, and it scared me. I realized I was just running from my problems. I called my dad and told him I wanted to back home.
I can happily say I’ve been off drugs for nearly a year now. My dad has also been sober（清醒的）for several months, and it’s a lot easier for us to get along now that drugs aren’t in the way. I’ve made new friends, too—my best friend is a girl from high school who didn’t do drugs or drink. I still don’t see my mom much, and I don’t know if we’ll ever be close again. All I know is that I don’t want to waste my life like she did. I’ll never go back to the person I was—I would rather be the girl I always dreamed I could be!”
—Megan 18

D
A great white shark in a California aquarium(水族馆) attacked two soupfin sharks（翅鲨）, causing their deaths. The attack was not a natural action for food, but out of response when the two sharks swam too close to the great white. The great white has not attacked other fellows, and officials have moved other soupfin sharks to another tank(贮水池) for their safety.
These attacks have given rise to calls for the freedom of the 88-pound, 5-foot-3-inch shark. The aquarium houses the shark in a million-gallon tank. However, according to experts, the tank is not big enough for the shark. Its nose is bloody from striking the glass of the aquarium. Great white sharks in the wild have a huge amount of migration, sometimes traveling 50 miles a day. Because the shark is still young, there is possibility of his growing. As it grows, it can become more troubled with the limited space.
Aquarium officials say that keeping the shark in the aquarium allows them to study behavior that they cannot study with free great white sharks. With the studied behavioral patterns, scientists believe that they can then help great white sharks in the wild.
Since the shark has been on display, aquarium attendance has increased. The one-year-old shark is the longest surviving great white living here. It has been at the Monterey Bay Aquarium for six months. Other great whites have not survived for longer than 16 days.
51. A great white shark’s attacking two soupfin sharks is directly because of ___. A. the hunger of the great white shark B. the limited space of the aquarium
C. the fight between them for food D. their close touch with each other 52. The underlined word “migration” probably means ___. A. movement B. fighting C. growth D. freedom
53. If the great white shark still stay in the aquarium, it would probably ___. A. be killed B. feed on more soupfin sharks C. stop growing D. feel less comfortable 54. According to aquarium officials, what can be learned? A. The great white shark can live longer in the aquarium. B. The great white shark will be set free from the aquarium. C. The great white shark should be kept in the aquarium.
D. The great white shark has been used to living in the aquarium. 55. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. California Aquarium Houses Sharks B. Shark Kills Two Others in Aquarium C. Ways for Sharks to Survive Longer D. Behavior Study on Great White Sharks
