Kelly is an African elephant. Now she is 19 years old. She lives in the zoo. Kelly has produced more than 100 paintings since last year. She has made over $ 3,500 for the zoo. Zoo leaders say Kelly first showed the art ability about 5 years ago. Zoo workers watched her make the marks in the sand with her trunk(象鼻). She rubbed out(抹去) the marks, then made the new ones. The zoo workers gave her brushes and paints. Soon Kelly was painting pictures. Newspaper reporters wrote about Kelly, and then people went to buy her pictures. And in this way she made a lot of money for the zoo by painting.

(判斷型)閱讀短文，判斷下列句子是否符合短文內(nèi)容。符合的寫（T），不符合的寫（F）。（共5小題，計(jì)10分）
When you are watching TV, you will notice that more and more famous stars make the ads on TV. Many people believe them because they are famous. But have you ever thought if the ads are real or not?
In the past few years, lots of stars have been on TV or newspapers as spokesmen(代言人) of some products(產(chǎn)品), such as Sanlu Milk and Haojixing Study Machine. People spent much money on these products, but at last, many of them were not like what the stars said. More and more people are very angry with the famous actors for making the ads after the accident of Sanlu Children Milk.
What are the public’s ideas about the famous people making ads on TV? Do you agree that the famous people should take responsibility (負(fù)責(zé)任) if the products have any problems? A research shows that about 36% think it wasn’t the famous stars’ fault(過錯(cuò))，but they all think famous stars should give out the money they got from the ads or the charity(慈善機(jī)構(gòu)). More than 34% think the famous stars must take responsibility. They are dishonest and lose themselves in the public.
So we should be more careful when we buy things advertised by the stars. We must find what these things are really like instead of only listening to what the stars say.
小題1:Many people believe the ads because they’re made by famous people.
小題2:In fact, some products were not like what the stars said.
小題3:About 36% think famous stars should give out the money they got from the ads to the charity.
小題4:All the famous actors are not honest and lose themselves in the public.
小題5:When we buy things, we should only listen to what the stars say.
