    　　In Daniel Gilbert's 2006 book "Stumbling(跌撞)on Happiness," the Harvard professor of psychology looks at several studies and concludes that marital(婚姻的)satisfaction decreases after the birth of the first child and increases only when the last child has left home．He also declares that parents are happier grocery shopping and even sleeping than spending time with their kids．

    　　The most recent comprehensive study on the emotional state of those with kids shows us that the term "bundle of joy" may not be the most accurate way to describe our kids．"Parents experience lower levels of emotional well-being, less frequent positive emotions and more frequent negative emotions than their childless peers," says Florida State University's Robin Simon, a sociology professor．

    　　Simon received plenty of hate mail in response to her research，which isn't surprising．Her findings shake the very foundation of what we've been raised to believe is true．In a recent NEWSWEEK Poll, 50 percent of Americans said that adding new children to the family tends to increase happiness levels．But which parent is willing to admit that the greatest gift life has to offer has in fact made his or her life less enjoyable?

    　　Is it possible that American parents have always been this disillusioned(有幻觉的)? In pre-industrial America, parents certainly loved their children, but their kids also served a purpose－to work the farm, contribute to the household．Today, we have kids more for emotional reasons, but an increasingly complicated work and social environment has made finding satisfaction far more difficult．Raising children has not only become more complicated, it has become more expensive as well．The National Marriage Project's 2006 report says that parents have significantly lower marital satisfaction than nonparents because they experienced more single and child-free years than previous generations．

    　　As for those of us with kids, all the news isn't bad．Parents still report feeling a greater sense of purpose and meaning in their lives than those who've never had kids．And there are other rewarding aspects of parenting that are impossible to quantify．

    Do you know that a Mom deserves a special gift this year for Mother’s Day? Sure, flowers can always brighten Mother’s day and a dinner out is always appreciated. However, doesn’t she deserve something more personal or something that lasts longer than an evening?

    I’m talking about the gift of fitness. Improved fitness is a gift that is invaluable to everyone. When you give a woman the gift of fitness, you are helping her open a door to better health.

    Most of us spend our lives seeking the natural world. To this end, we walk the dog, play golf, go fishing, sit in the garden, drink outside rather than inside the pub, have a picnic, live in the suburbs, go to the seaside, buy a weekend place in the country. The most popular free time activity in Britain is going for a walk. And when joggers (慢跑者) jog, they don’t run the streets. Every one of them automatically heads to the park or the river. It is my firm belief that not only do we all need nature, but we all seek nature, whether we know we are doing so or not.
    But despite this, our children are growing up nature-deprived (丧失). I spent my boyhood climbing trees. These days, children are robbed of these ancient freedoms, due to problems like crime, traffic, the loss of the open spaces and strange new ideas about what is best for children, that is to say, things that can be bought, rather than things that can be found.
    The truth is to be found elsewhere. A study in the US: families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD (多动症). Those whose housing had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.
    A study in Sweden indicated that kindergarten children who could play in a natural environment had less illness and greater physical ability than children used only to a normal playground. A US study suggested that when a school gave children access to a natural environment, the entire school would do better in studies.
    Another study found that children play differently in a natural environment. In playgrounds, children create a hierarchy (等级) based on physical abilities, with the tough ones taking the lead. But when a grassy area was planted with bushes, the children got much more into fantasy play, and the social hierarchy was now based on imagination and creativity.
    Most bullying (恃强凌弱) is found in schools where there is a tarmac (柏油碎石) playground; the least bullying is in a natural area that the children are encouraged to explore. This reminds me unpleasantly of Sunnyhill School, with its hard tarmac, where I used to hang about in corners dreaming about wildlife.
    But children are frequently discouraged from involvement with natural spaces, for health and safety reasons, for fear that they might get dirty or that they might cause damage. So, instead, the damage is done to the children themselves: not to their bodies but to their souls.
    One of the great problems of modern childhood is ADHD, now increasingly and expensively treated with drugs. Yet one study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children. However, we spend money on drugs rather than on green places.
    The life of old people is much better when they have access to nature. The most important for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years. And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality.
    In wider and more difficult areas of life, there is evidence to indicate that natural surroundings improve all kinds of things. Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world.
    Dr William Bird, researcher from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, states in his study, “A natural environment can reduce violent behaviour because its process helps reduce anger and behavior that people might regret later.” Wild places need encouraging for this reason, no matter how small their contribution.
    We tend to think human beings are doing nature some kind of favor when we are protecting nature. The error here is far too deep: not only do humans need nature for themselves, but the very idea that humanity and the natural world are separable things is damaging.
    Human beings are a species of animals. For seven million years we lived on the planet as part of nature. So we miss the natural world and long for contact with non-human life. Anyone who has patted a dog, stroked a cat, sat under a tree with a glass of beer, given or received a bunch of flowers or chosen to walk through the park on a nice day, understands that.
    We need the wild world. It is necessary to our well-being, our health, our happiness. Without other living things around us we are less than human.

    One day, Mr. Arnold was teaching a lesson, and things were going as normally as ever. He was explaining the story of mankind to his pupils. He told them that, in the beginning, men were nomads; they never stayed in the same place for very long. Instead, they would travel about, here and there, in search of food, wherever it was to be found. And when the food ran out, they would move off somewhere else.
    He taught them about the invention of farming and keeping animals. This was an important discovery, because by learning to cultivate(耕作)the land, and care for animals, mankind would always have food steadily available. It also meant that people could remain living in one place, and this made it easier to set about tasks that would take a long while to complete, like building towns, cities, and all that were in them. All the children were listening attracted by this story, until Lucy jumped up:
    “And if that was so important and improved everything so much, why are we nomads all over again, Mr. Arnold?”
    Mr. Arnold didn’t know what to say. Lucy was a very intelligent girl. He knew that she lived with her parents in a house, so she must know that her family were not nomads; so what did she mean?
    “We have all become nomads again,” continued Lucy, “The other day, outside the city, they were cutting the forest down. A while ago a fisherman told me how they fish. It’s the same with everyone: when there’s no more forest left the foresters go elsewhere, and when the fish run out the fishermen move on. That’s what the nomads did, isn’t it ?
    The teacher nodded, thoughtfully. Really, Lucy was right Mankind had turned into nomads. Instead of looking after the land in a way that we could be sure it would keep supplying our needs, we kept developing it until the land was bare. And then off we would go to the next place! The class spent the rest of the afternoon talking about what they could do to show how to be more civilized.
    The next day everyone attended class wearing a green T-shirt, with a message that said “I am not a nomad!”
    And , from then on, they set about showing that indeed they were not. Every time they knew they needed something, they made sure that they would get it using care and control. If they needed wood or paper, they would make sure that they got the recycled kind. They ordered their fish from fish farms, making sure that the fish they received were not too young and too small. They only used animals that were well cared for, and brought up on farms.
    And so, from their little town, those children managed to give up being nomads again, just as prehistoric men had done, so many thousands of years ago.
    【小题1】From Paragraph 2, we can know that______ .

    A．people got tired of living in the same place
    B．people gradually got used to living in cities
    C．people tended to settle down after learning farming
    D．people spent a long time in learning to keep animals
    【小题2】In the teacher’s opinion, Lucy’s argument was______
    A．shockingB．ridiculousC．puzzlingD．reasonable
    【小题3】Which of the following agrees with the message “I am not a nomad” (Paragraph 7)?
    A．People eat young fish for its delicious taste.
    B．Foresters leave the place where wood is not available.
    C．Fishermen move elsewhere when there is no fish left.
    D．People use recycled materials as much as possible.
    【小题4】The writer tries to make us believe that ______.
    A．mankind has been progressing mainly through traveling about
    B．it’s unwise for mankind to use the land in an uncontrolled way
    C．it’s quite good for students to learn more about the history of mankind
    D．in the beginning men were nomads.

    No one can believe that the over 6,300-kilometer Great Wall might disappear some day. Believe it or not, the Great Wall is being destroyed by people. Less than 20 percent of the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty ,is still perfect, but about 80 percent is in danger. The Great Wall can be called “ great “ mostly because of its amazing length. But we should realize that the length was made up of one brick at a time. If we do nothing to save the Great Wall,it will become a series of separate wasteland rather than a historic site.

    The Great Wall is actually a series of walls built and rebuilt by different dynasties over the past 2,000 years. It began in the rule of China’s first emperor, Qin Shihuang of the Qin Dynasty (221BC----206BC), and lasted into the Ming Dynasty. The parts built before the Ming Dynasty have nearly disappeared. People are familiar with sections such as Badaling in Beijing and Jiayuguan Pass in Gansu, because they have been open to tourists for many years. But those sections far away from the public eyes have been almost forgotten.

    Few local people knew the 3—meter—high walls made of earth and stones beside them are parts of the Great Wall. The lack of knowledge is considered as one of the main reasons behind human.

    The bricks on the Great Wall are carried off by countryside people to build their houses,sheep corrals and pigsties. Some were taken away to build roads. Bricks carved with people’s names are put away as remembrances. The rubbish is spread over the battlements. The brick can be sold 15 yuan per tractor load. Those who destroyed and are destroying the Wall know its name, but are not clear about its cultural meaning. It will take a long time to let them know this. The local farmers not only carried off the body of the Wall but also dug out the entire base.

    It is necessary to protect the Great Wall. First of all, the officials should be aware of the importance of the Great Wall. Young Chinese should know more about the nation’s great civilization and learn to love it.

    1.Why does the writer say the Great Wall might disappear?

    A．It is useless from now on.

    B． It is too old to be used again.

    C． It will be replaced by a new one.

    D． Some parts of it are being destroyed.

    2.The underlined part “ those sections far away from the public eyes “( in Para. 2 ) refers to the parts of the Great Wall______________.

    A．nobody can watch.

    B．that are too far to be seen.

    C．that are too difficult to find.

    D．that are not well-known to the public.

    3. What’s the main reason of the Great Wall being destroyed?

    A．The local people sell the bricks for a living.

    B．The local people are short of culture knowledge.

    C．The local people think that the Great Wall is not important.

    D．The local people need bricks and stones to build houses.

    4. Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?

    A．How to Protect the Great Wall.

    B．How the Great Wall came into being.

    C．The Great Wall Being Rebuilt.

    D．The Great Wall Being in Danger.
