However, some people, including some doctors, are not in favor of (不赞成) these life extending measures, and they argue that people should have the right to die when they want. They say that the quality (质量) of life is as important as life itself an
17、d that people should not be forced to go on living when conditions of life have become unbearable. They saw that people should be allowed to die with dignity (尊严) and to decide when they want to die. Others argue that life under any conditions is better than death and the duty of doctors is always t

22、roups of killer whales live, and often dozens of boats, filled with tourists who want to watch the beautiful animals roll through the waves, go whale-watching each day. Unfortunately, the engines of the boats make a lot of noise.The whales travel in groups, called pods, and communicate with each oth
23、er through sonic calls that some scientists refer to as singing. The sounds of the boat engines may be creating too much background noise for the whales in the pods to be able to hear each other well. As a result, say the researchers, whales have started to sing for longer than they used to, kind of
24、 like a person shouting to a friend in a noisy room.The researchers listened to recordings of whale calls made between fifteen and twenty-five years ago, before whale-watching became popular, and compared them to more recent recordings made now that whale-watching has become popular.Since scientists
25、 dont yet understand the whales calls, they dont know what the whales are saying, but they think it may be communication of hunting or breeding (繁殖) information. Some experts worry that all this whale-watching noise may have a bad effect on the whale population in the long run, since the noise may b

29、 popular in Washington state.CAncient people made clay pottery because they needed it for their survival. They used the pots they make for cooking, storing food, and carrying things from place to place. Pottery was so important to early cultures that scientists now study it to learn more about ancie
30、nt civilizations. The more advanced the pottery in terms of decoration, materials, glazes, and manufacture, the more advanced the culture itself.The artisan who makes pottery in North America today utilizes his or her skill and imagination to create items that are beautiful as well as functional, tr
31、ansforming something ordinary into something special and unique.The potter uses one of the Earths most basic materials, clay. Clay can be found almost anywhere. Good pottery clay must be free from all small stones and other hard materials that would make the potting process difficult. Most North Ame
32、rican artisan potters now purchase commercially processed clay, but some find the clay they need right in the earth, close to where they work.The most important tools potters use are their own hands; however, they also use wire loop tools, wooden modeling tools, plain wire, and sponges. Plain wire i
33、s used to cut away the finished pot from its vase on the potters wheel.After a finished pot is dried of all its moisture in the open air, it placed in a kiln and fired. The first firing hardens the pottery, and it is then ready to be glazed and fired again.For areas where they do not want any glaze,
34、 such as the bottom of the pot, artisans paint on melted wax that will later burn off in the kiln.

B. Color. C. Puzzle. D. Design.DToday, roller skating is easy and fun. But a long time ago, it wasnt eas
37、y at all. Before 1750, the idea of skating didnt exist. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlins work was making musical instruments(乐器). In his spare time he liked to play the violin. Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams. People called him a dreamer.One day Merlin received
38、an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball(化装舞会). He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance(进入) at the party. He had an idea. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.Merlin tried
39、different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skates. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin.On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing
40、 his violin. Everyone was astonished to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on.

Merlin got himself into trouble.E On the night of May 7, 1942, a plane took off from an Air Force base in England to stop German fighters over the English Channel. Pilot of the plane was Captain Thomas
44、 Nash. Looking eastward, Nash saw twelve orange lights in a row, moving at an extremely high speed. As an experienced flyer, he had never seen anything like them. Thinking that they might be a new German weapon, he decided to follow them. But when he swung the plane around and headed directly for th
45、e lights, they disappeared. Captain Nash may have been the first to see such orange lights but he wasnt the last. His experience was repeated several times by pilots during World War II in Europe and the Far East. What were they? No one knows for sure, but there is an interesting theory to explain t
46、hem. According to this theory, the orange lights are space animalsanimals specially adapted to life in the upper atmosphere just as some creatures are adapted to life at the bottom of the sea. These space animals, the theory says, live so far up in the atmosphere that they are invisible from the earth. The
