Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
After driving down the main street of Granger，Washington，a traveler might think that it was either the site of the world’s greatest prehistoric
(史前的) fossil (化石) discovery，or that the town was built in a dinosaur theme park.But no dinosaur fossils have ever been found in Washington State.Yet all kinds of dinosaurs are in the town.
“We just happen to like dinosaurs，” said the city official Alice Koerner.“And all kids happen to love dinosaurs.And when you’re traveling with your family，it’s usually the kids that decide where you go.”
Granger’s dinosaurs took years of work and tons of cement (水泥) to make them look real.It’s the kind of great effort that people think well of.The first Granger dinosaur went up in the early 1990s，according to Public Works Director Jack Burns.People liked it，so others followed，all designed and built by Jack and his partners.“That first one was prehistoric，”said Jack.“We ud anything we coul
d find around the Ginko Gem Shop，which has a colourful dinosaur standing outside to hold the ceme nt.”
Many of the prehistoric big beasts are on the town’s south side.Most are kidfriendly and suitable for climbing.Granger’s DinoinaDay (usually the first Saturday in June) invites the public to take part in dinosaur making.
Driving into town shows you more dinosaurs.A large map at the entrance to the town promis to show where every Granger dinosaur is，but_it_is_out_of_date.Jack said，“We have been building more dinosaurs and we try to let people know more about science and art.”

Over the years，many very important guests have visited the White Hou.Some spend the night，though most stay only for dinner.But last summer，a furry little guest came to the President’s hou，and he hasn’t left yet.
In August，a fox was found in a garden near the White Hou tennis
courts.He’s since been caught sleeping on t he driveway，tting off alarms (警报)，and running across the President’s golf cour.President Barack Obama once saw him running outside the Oval Office.In October，he even ate some of the vegetables in the First Lady’s garden!
“We don’t mind him pass ing through，but we don’t want him to stay，” says Dale Haney，who leads the team of people who take care of the White Hou lawn (草地)．
The groundskeepers have been trying to catch the fox for months.But foxes are very fast.The fox has so far escaped the groundskeepers who chad him and avoided traps.
Another challenge is that the White Hou is more than just a hou：It has a lot of lawns，gardens，and bushes nearby in which a fox can hide，something this fox does well.Few people who work at the White Hou have even en him.
Haney had a team of eight people look for the fox’s home，where the animal sleeps.They arched through bushes and gardens for 45 minutes every morning.But the fox’s home has stayed hidden，and the groundskeepers have given up.
The fox isn’t the first wild animal to hang around the White Hou grounds.Animals like birds，raccoons (浣熊)，and deer have all visited over the years.White Hou officials have tried to remove (移开) the animals from the White Hou kindly，without hurting them.
Haney’s team hopes to move the fox to a park nearby，along the Potomac River.But they will have to catch him first!
