题目内容

"A rolling stone gathers no moss (苔藓) ," but there is one living animal that does gather moss, the three-toed sloth (树獭) of South America. This slowest-moving member of the animal kingdom is so inactive that moss actually gathers on its body and turns it green strange as it seems!
Most of the sloth's life is spent motionless, hanging upside down from a limb. And that is the way its hair grows. Long and coarse, the strands (串) from receptacles (花托) for the damp jungle algae (水藻) that turn the brown fur a mossy green. Actually this moss helps the animal survive because it serves as a per- fect camouflage against the leaf trees and hides the sloth from the jungle's swift-moving hunters. The sloth would have little chance of survival on the ground. With long, curved claws hooked over the limb of a leafy tree, it spends the long hot hours during the day drowsing and eating. Inch by inch, it strips the leafy limbs bare and crawls Slowly down the trunk to find a new dining spot, but only at night.
In addition to looking rather like a vegetable, the sloth is a strict vegetarian. Running out of its favorite leaf is about the only thing that will make a sloth move. Then its appetite may even force the animal into swimming a stream to reach a juicy succulent(多汁的值物). It will also force it into fighting to keep the tree all to itself. The sloth is lazy and prefers to be alone, but it will tolerate its own relatives!
A suitable title for this passage might be ______. ()

A. Wild Animals
B. Animal Kingdom
C. Moss Growth
D. The Lazy Animal

Knowing he couldn't live on his pension,he took his chicken recipe in hand,got behind the wheel of his van, and set out to make his fortune.His first plan was to sell his chicken recipe to restaurant owners, who would in rum pay him some money for every piece of chicken they sold--5 cents per chicken.The first restaurateur he called on turned him down.
So did the second.
So did the third.
In fact,the first 1008 sales calls Colonel Sanders made ended in rejection.Still,he continued to call on owners as he traveled across the USA,sleeping in his car to save money.Prospect number 1009 gave him his first"yes".
