The plans include transportation support for one hundred thousand students each year to visit national parks to learn about nature and history. Yellowstone is believed to have been the world’s first national park when it was established in 1872. Other students will get a chance to see parks in faraway places through Skype and other online programs.

The National Park Service also works with partners to provide education. One of its partners is a nonprofit organization called NatureBridge. NatureBridge is celebrating its fortieth anniversary and says one million young people have taken part in its programs. The organization works with students from kindergarten through twelfth grade and uses national parks as its classrooms. It provides field science programs at Yosemite National Park and four other locations in California and the northwestern state of Washington.

Now, NatureBridge is launching an East Coast center with a fourmilliondollar grant from Google. The program will begin in April at the Prince William Forest Park in Virginia. Students stay for three to five days in NatureBridge programs. The activities are aimed at developing their science skills. For example, they learn about different soils and study water quality under a microscope.

Jason Morris is executive vice president of NatureBridge. He says when they are not sleeping, eating or in a laboratory, the students spend their time outdoors. Julia Washburn is associate director of education and interpretation for the National Park Service. She says in a time of budget cuts, the agency has to find ways to still meet its goals. Ms. Washburn says one of the most important services that the Park Service provides every day is nature interpretation. Park rangers (公园管理员) try to make visiting the outdoors more meaningful. Interpretation is a form of informal education. Essentially, it is a word that we use for the people in parks that explain the park or help orient (确定方向) you. So park rangers are interpreters. They orient you to the place you are in and help you make connections, emotional and intellectual connections, with the place.

【1】What’s the general idea of the passage?

A. National parks are used as outdoor classrooms for students.

B. Students are called on to be members of NatureBridge.

C. Some famous national parks in US are attractive to students.

D. Park rangers make visiting parks much more interesting.

【2】Which of the following is the correct structure of the whole passage? (Para.＝Paragraph)

A. B.

C. D.

【题目】

Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car? He died the next morning too．His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio．She didn’t realize her brother was in the midst of it all．She never saw him again．And it’s all your fault.

I wish you’d walk out of my life forever．I don’t want anything to do with you．Look at all the pain you’ve caused．Sure, you’ve made people happy too from time to time．But the damage you’ve caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable．Stop luring (引诱) in the people I love．Stop hurting me, please.

Sincerely,

Anonymous

There are over 20 fine beaches close to Sydney. Its warm summer and cool winter have made it a favorite city for immigrants (移民) from overseas. There are three things that make Sydney famous－its beautiful harbor, the Sydney Harbor Bridge, and the Sydney Opera House.

But there are many more interesting things in Sydney: beautiful shops and restaurants, for example, rows of interesting old houses built everywhere in the 19th century. Summer or winter, day or night, Sydney is an outdoor city.

Some Americans think it is very British. Some British visitors think it is like America. There is some truth in both these opinions, because Sydney takes from both the Old World－Europe, and the New World－America, and makes itself into something that is neither British nor American but truly Australian.

When I went home yesterday evening, I saw a little cat laying in the middle of the road. It seemed very hunger and it was also in greatly danger, because there were many cars, buses, and trucks on the road. I showed my sad to it and asked my mother whether I could bring it home as soon as I arrive home. While she was afraid that the cat was dirty, but she agreed. However, when I got out, the poor little thing was not here. I was told that it had taken by a warm-hearted person. I breathed a sigh of relief. It is known to us all, animals are our good friends and we should care more about it.
