         Each weekday, come rain or shine, a group of children, aged 3 to 6, walk into a forest outside
    Frankfurt to sing songs, build fires and roll in the mud.
         The birthplace of kindergarten is returning to its roots. While schools and parents elsewhere are
    pushing young children to read, write and surf the Internet earlier in order to prepare for an increasingly
    cutthroat(竞争激烈的) global economy, some little Germans are taking a less traveled path-deep into
    the woods.
         Germany has about 700 Wald kindergartens, or forest kindergartens, in which children spend their
    days outdoors all year round. Blackboards replaced by the Black Forest. Erasers give way to pine
    cones(松果). Hall passes aren't required, but bug repellent(驱虫剂) is a good idea.
         The schools are a throwback(返回) to Friedrich Froebel, the German educator who opened the
    world's first kindergarten, or children's garden, more than 150 years ago. Mr. Froebel advised that
    young children should play in nature, free from too many numbers and letters.
         Only a small number of German children attend Wald kindergarten, but their numbers have been
    rising since local parent groups began setting up these programs in the mid1990s, following the lead of
    a Danish community. Similar schools exist in smaller numbers in Scandinavia, Switzerland and Austria.
    The concept is arousing interest far afield-even in the U. S., whose first Wald kindergarten opened in
    Portland, Ore., last fall.
         Academic studies of such schools are in their infancy(初期). Some European researchers believe
    Wald kindergarten kids exercise their imaginations more than their brickandmortar_peers do and are
    better at concentrating and communicating. Despite dangers, from insects particularly, the children
    appear to get sick less often in these freshair settings. Studies also suggest their writing skills are less
    developed, though, and that they are less skills than other children at distinguishing colors, forms and sizes.

    1. The passage mainly talks about ________.
    A. forest kindergartens          
    B. a great German educator
    C. the birthplace of kindergarten  
    D. education in Germany

    2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
    A. The kids in the Wald kindergarten spend their days outdoors once a week.
    B. There are more than 700 Wald kindergartens in Europe.
    C. Friedrich Frobel opened the world's first forest kindergarten.
    D. Nearly all the German children attend Wald kindergarten.

    3. What might NOT be found in the "forest kindergartens"?
    A. Black Forest.      
    B. Pine cones.
    C. Bug repellent.      
    D. Many numbers and letters.

    4. From the last paragraph, we can learn that "brickandmortar peers" refers to ________.
    A. kids who stay at home        
    B. kids who study in the classroom
    C. kids who like brick and mortar  
    D. kids who suffer from illness

    5. Kids in the Wald kindergarten may ________.
    ①be more imaginative
    ②be good at exchanging ideas with other kids
    ③face more dangers in the forest
    ④be skillful at writing
    A. ①③④      
    B. ②③④       
    C. ①②③      
    D. ①②④

    Each morning a rich man found a poor man sitting on a park bench (长凳). The poor man always sat there, looking at the big hotel in which the rich man lived. One day the rich man got out of his car and said to the poor man, “Excuse me, but I just want to know why you sit here and look at my hotel every morning.” “Sir,” said the poor man, “I am a failure. I have no money, no family, no home. I sleep on this bench, and every night I dream that one day I’ll sleep in that hotel.” The rich man said, “That is not so hard. Tonight your dream will come true. I’ll pay for the best room in that hotel for you for a whole month.”

         Each year a million cows in Africa die from east coast fever.The disease is spread by
    tick bites.Young cows are most at risk；they can die within days.Farmers and herders
    can lose up to half or more of their calves to east coast fever.
          The disease is widespread in eleven countries.And experts say it now threatens ten
    million more animals in new areas including southern Sudan.
          Researchers first developed an experimental vaccine against east coast fever thirty
    years ago.The vaccine works by a process called "infection and treatment"．The animals
    are infected with whole parasites and treated with antibiotics at the same time.This keeps
    the disease from developing.
         Controlling east coast fever has meant a better life in areas that have gotten the vaccine.
    For example,the vaccine has been available for a group of Maasai herders in northern
    Tanzania for about seven years.They used to lose threefourths of their newborn calves
    each year.Now,most survive.As a result,many people have extra cattle to sell,and use the
    money to pay for school for their children.
         But making the vaccine more widely available-especially in rural areas-has been difficult.
    Farmers have been using supplies produced in the nineteen nineties.Recently there was a
    shortage.The International Livestock Research Institute made one million doses at the request
    of African officials.But that supply is only temporary.Another problem is that the vaccine
    must be kept extremely cold.
          Now,the nonprofit Global Alliance for Livestock Veterinary Medicines is trying to
    expand production and lower the cost.GALVmed spokesman Hameed Nuru says mobile
    phones have helped lower some barriers to distribution.
         HAMEED NURU:"Now,with the advent of cellular technology,most of the people we
    do reach,such as the Maasai pastoralists,they all have cell phones.And they now call the
    delivery agent who can now come and meet them at a particular place and do the vaccination
    for them."
          The vaccine is not cheap.But Hameed Nuru says the herders get together to sell a bull
    and use the money to vaccinate all their animals.They understand that they are getting value
    for their money:A cow is worth nearly twice as much if it is vaccinated.
          A goal is to have local people develop businesses supplying the vaccine.
          HAMEED NURU:"People are now seeing that they can actually make a business from
    supplying this vaccine and getting out to the very rural areas where there is a market for this."
         The efforts are supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the British
    government.

         Each year there is an increasing number of cars as millions of new cars are produced in America.
    Americans will not live without cars! However, some have realized the serious problem of air pollution
    by cars. It is necessary to find ways to solve the problem of air pollution.
         One way to clean the air is to build a new kind of clean car. That’s what several of the large car
    factories are trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been
    slow.
         Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else. Engineers are now working on
    it. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model for us.
         To prevent the world being polluted by cars, Americans have to make some changes in the way of
    their life. They have to cut down on the number of their cars and are encouraged to travel and go to work by bike. But this change does not come easily. Many workers may find themselves without jobs if a car
    factory closes down. And the problem of their pollution would become less important than that of
    unemployment.       
         Americans may live a happy but sad life for a long time because of the car problem.
