  Thousands of animals can kill humans.So which are the deadliest?

  That means which can probably cause the most deaths? Here are two ways to answer this question:

  ●Which animals have the deadliest poison(毒)?

  Many consider the golden poison-dart frog the most poisonous(有毒的)animal on Earth.Scientists have determined that two micrograms(微克)of its poison could kill a human.It is said that the ink in a period weighs about six micrograms.This 5-centimeter-long frog has enough poison to kill 10-20 people.

  Others think that the 5-meter-long box jellyfish is the most poisonous.In fact, its victims can die before they can get out of the water.One of these jellyfish can kill 60 adults.But in fact, these jellyfish have only caused about 100 reported deaths in the last 100 years.

  ●Which animals cause the most deaths?

  Poisonous snakes like the Russell's viper and Indian Cobra come near the top of this list.Snakes kill at least 20,000 humans world yearly.

  However, the mosquito(蚊子), a more common living things comes number one.Mosquitoes carry and spread(傳播)diseases to over 700 million people every year.As a result, mosquito bites lead to over 3 million human deaths per year.That makes the mosquito, by far, the world's deadliest animal.

  As an important guest of the 8th Shanghai International Film Festival top Hollywood star Mr.Morgan FREEMAN arrived in Shanghai yesterday morning.Without time even to adjust to the time difference he attended the press conference of the premiere of BATMAN BEGINS.His courtesy, modesty, and humour at the conference greatly impressed the journalists present.

  At the press conference the first question Freeman faced was about his "weakness." Freeman himself once said that he had never played a character in love with a woman, which was a great pity.When asked about this he explained that he had played in stage productions for 20 years before joining the film circle at the age of over 50.This explains why he has had so little love interest in his films.

  Since he joined the film world Freeman has been accepted by the audience as a persevering, resourceful, and humourous figure.Though he is regarded as a top star, the number of the films in which he has played leading roles is not big.He has been nominated for an Oscar several times, but has only won once:Best Supporting Actor in MILLION DOLLAR BABY.This caused a lot of disappointment among his fans, but Freeman himself does not consider an Oscar as the only mark of a successful actor.He said that for those attending the Festival in Shanghai it should be not just to win a prize, but also to communicate with others in the film world.

  Talking about the Oscar he won for his latest film MILLION DOLLAR BABY, he said that an Oscar is an award of great importance for all actors and actresses, but especially for the younger ones because it can lead to a successful reputation.But he doesn't consider this so important for himself.His own favourite role in his career was in STREET SMART, also nominated for an Oscar.This role was very different to his own personality.It was a pity that this film did not attract much attention.

  He likes acting in films, and spares no effort in learning his part.When asked which he liked better, comedy or tragedy, he said he had no special feeling, for he was an 'actor' rather than a 'comedy actor' or 'tragedy actor.' He could not tell which was more difficult, although he did say that to find a feeling for the character is important.He summarised the secret of successfully portraying a character as believing in all good things in life.

(1)

Which of the following is not mentioned at the conference greatly impressed the journalists present?

[  ]

[  ]

A.

Once

Ten times

Which film was his own favourite role in his career in?

Nobody knows

Which is true according to the passage?
