　　For years，the giant squid(大王乌贼)had remained a modern mystery.Living in the dark depths of the ocean，the creature is difficult for scientists to observe directly.It had also managed to avoid all attempts to film it.That changed last July：for the first time ever，scientists were able to catch the giant squid on video in its natural habitat.They were amazed by what they saw.The scientists filmed the squid in the North Pacific Ocean，south of Tokyo，Japan.They followed it down to a depth of 2,952 feet.They shot more than 23 minutes of video before the squid swam off into even darker depths.The video footage will be released to the public later this month on The Discovery Channel.

　　Tsunemi Kubodera，a zoologist at Japan's National Museum of Nature and Science，led the team that filmed the squid.The team went into the ocean in a small submarine with lights invisible to both humans and squid.Since giant squid eat smaller squid，the scientists released a small squid as bait(诱饵)．Then the scientists waited in the pitch black for the giant squid to approach.

　　The color video shows the creature floating vertically, eating the bait squid.The giant squid is 9 to 10 feet long and is missing its two longest tentacles(触须)．With those tentacles，it could have measured up to 26 feet long.It has huge black eyes，the size of dinner plates.“It was shining and so beautiful，”Kubodera said.

　　Because the deep ocean is so unfriendly to humans，little is known about the giant squid.Scientists say catching the

　　mysterious creature on video is an important step toward

　　understanding it.For centuries，sailors had reported seeing a

　　huge，ocean dwelling beast，thought to be the giant squid.The

　　creature is also believed to be the subject of the Nordic myth of

　　the kraken，a sea creature that supposedly attacked ships in Scandinavian waters over the past thousands of years.

　　1．Why is it difficult to film the giant squid?

　　A．Because it

　　is illegal to film the giant squid.

　　B．Because it is too expensive to make such a film.C．Because the giant squid lives in the dark deep ocean.

　　D．Because the giant squid is dangerous

　　to humans.

　　2．We can learn from the first paragraph that scientists________.

　　A．first saw the giant squid in the ocean

　　B．discovered a new sea creature in the ocean

　　C．have the ocean bottom secretly recorded on video

　　D．have first caught the legendary giant squid on videox k b 1

　　3．According to the passage，the giant squid's longest tentacles can be________.A．16 feet long

　　B．9 to 10 feet long

　　C．more than 26 feet long

　　D．about 36 feet long

　　4．The scientists released a small squid in the ocean to________.

　　A．increase the number of the giant squid

　　B．trick the giant squid into coming out

　　C．make an educational film about it

　　D．show concern for the giant squid

　　Ⅴ.根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

　　What are the situations that set off your shyness？Despite what you may think，you're not shy all the time.For example，when you're with your best friend，you're probably comfortable being yourself.__1__ If you can identify what you're feeling insecure about，you can then take action on it.

　　▲Improve on your areas of insecurity.

　　After identifying your areas of insecurity，the next step is to take action on them.For example，perhaps you are shy when it comes to presentations at work.__2__ Invest your 10,000 hours of hard work—it is said that 10,000 hours is the average time experts spend to be the best at their skills.

　　▲Identify your strengths.

　　Many of us tend to focus on what we're not good at，rather than what we are good at.As a result，we feel awkward around others，because we feel there's nothing impressive about ourselves.It's time to stop selling yourself short and start focusing on your strengths.What are you good at？What are your past achievements？__3__

　　▲__4__

　　Can you think of someone(whether a friend or a famous person) you know who is very confident，assured and outgoing？Use the person as your role model.Whenever you feel shy，ask yourself what that person will do/say in this situation.Then，do that.Soon，it becomes second nature to you to behave in that manner.

　　▲Observe how others interact.

　　__5__ Reduce the time you spend worrying about how others perceive you and look outward at how others conduct themselves socially.

　　A．Have a role model.

　　B．Objectify the situation.

　　C．Spend some time to recognize them.

　　D．Realize that shyness is the effect of feeling insecure.

　　E．If that's the case，then work on improving your presentation skills!
