I saw my first tiger in a national park in India. It was a young male and he was drinking at a waterhole. He raised his head slowly and stared at us for a full minute. Then he turned his back on us and disappeared quickly into the jungle(丛林). Twenty years ago, the tiger was in trouble. In India its numbers were around 1,800. Then the Indian government launched(发起) Project Tiger, which set up many national parks all over the country. |
In Africa, the most important species(种类) in danger is the elephant, the world’s largest living land mammal. In 1979 there were 1.3 million elephants there. Ten years later, numbers were down to 600,000. Conservationists(保护工作者) warned that the species could be extinct(灭绝的)by the end of the century. But slowly the situation has changed: the demand for ivory has fallen greatly, and now the number of elephants is increasing rapidly; there are many more than there were sixteen years ago.
On the other side of the world, the grey whales of Baja California nearly disappeared during the last century. Fortunately, the US Marine Mammals Protection Act of 1972 saved them. The grey whales recovered quickly. Today there are perhaps 20,000 and these gentle giants are now worth far more alive than dead.
Today, wildlife is good for the tourist trade. And tourism, if it takes only pictures and leaves only footprints, is good for the national parks. If wildlife can always be treated in this way, animals can live and thrive(旺盛) in the world.

In spite of the instructions he had been given, Tommy did not hurry straight round to Mrs. Blakey’s house with the note. Reading the toy-shop window with its decorated Christmas tree, he could not tear himself away from it until he had spent ten minutes staring at the gift he most wanted: a gun that fired corks. Where the road began to run downhill to Mrs. Blakey’s house he met some of his friends who were throwing snowballs. He joined in the fight, and by the time it finished, another twenty minutes had gone by. Ten more minutes were lost looking for the note for Mrs. Blakey, which had somehow dropped from his pocket during the fight, When, with the help of his friends, his finally found it, it was not only very wet, but, to his horror, he found that part of it was torn way and missing. That meant a further search, but in vain. So it happened that, now looking very untidy, Tommy reached Mrs. Blakey’s house nearly an hour late and carrying a dirty piece of paper that contained only the words:
for tea this afternoon
important to talk about
u. If it is inconvenient,
tell Tommy; otherwise,
ur house at four o’clock.
Yours sincerely,
Alice Hendry
Mrs. Blakey was puzzled over the note for a while, then, imagining she knew what the missing words were, told Tommy to tell his mother it would be all right.
Tommy returning home in much the same way as he had made the outward journey to Mrs. Blakey’s, arrived not long before four o’clock to find his mother very angry and already putting her hat on.
“You naughty boy, where have you been?” she cried, and without waiting for an answer, “What did Mrs. Blakey say?”
Tommy told her.
“All right, you’d better come with me,” Mrs. Hendry said.And so once again Tommy found himself on the downhill road to Mrs. Blakey’s.
At about the same moment that Mrs. Hendry and her son Tommy reached Mrs. Blakey’s door, Mrs. Blakey herself, having taken a different road, was waiting outside the Hendry’s home, wondering why there was no answer to her knock. Who could blame her for thinking that the torn note was an invitation to tea at the Hendry’s, instead of which Mrs. Hendry had in fact been asking herself out to tea with Mrs. Blakey?
1.In “he could not tear himself away from it” ‘it’ refers to________.

2.Tommy’s mother told him_________
A.to hurry straight round to Mrs. Blakey’s house with the note
B to play snowfight with the other kids

3. Mrs. Blakey “told Tommy to tell his mother it would be all right” means_______.
A.she didn’t mind the note being torn
B.Mrs. Hendry’s request was inconvenient
C.she thought she could accept Mrs. Hendry’s invitation
D.she would find the missing words
4.Which of the statements is true according to the story?

B.Tommy looked for the missing part of the note but could not find it

Watching television more than two hours a day early in life can lead to attention problems later in adolescence, according to a study released on Tuesday.
The roughly 40 percent increase in attention problems among heavy TV viewers was observed in both boys and girls
The link was established by a long-term study of the habits and behaviors of more than1,000 children born in Dunedin, Hew Zealand, between April 1972 and March 1973.
"Those who watched more than two hours, and particularly those who watched more than three hours, of television per day during childhood had above-average symptoms of attention problems in adolescence," Carl Landhuis of the University of Otago in Dunedin wrote in his report, published in the journal Pediatrics.
"It suggests that the effects of childhood viewing on attention may be long lasting," Landhuis wrote.
Landhuis offered several possible explanations for the association.
One was that the rapid scene changes common to many TV programs may over excite the developing brain of a young child, and could make reality seem boring by comparison.
"Therefore, children who watch a lot of television may become less tolerant of slower-paced and more mundane tasks, such as school work," he wrote.
It was also possible that TV viewing may supplant(挤占) other activities that promote concentration, such as reading, games, sports and play, he said.
Previous studies have linked the habit of long TV watching among children to over weight and diabetes(糖尿病), and another study in the same journal stated the poor nutritional content of the majority of food products advertised on the top-rated US. children's television shows.
Up to 98 percent of the TV ads promoting food products that were directed at children aged 2 through 11 "were high in either fat, sugar, or salt," wrote Lisa Powell of the University of Illinois in Chicago.
1. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A. TV viewing may occupy activities promoting concentration
B. Childhood TV viewing can cause teenage problems.
C. Attention problems were observed in both boys and girls.
D. Attention to adolescence problems are highlighted.
2. According to Carl Landhuis, .
A. the study was based on the habits and behaviors of more than 1,000 children.
B. the effects of childhood viewing on attention may last for a short time.
C. the young heavy television viewers are more likely to suffer from attention problems.
D. children addicted to watching TV were more willing to do their school work.
3. What does the underlined word "mundane" refer m?
A. ordinary B. complex C. challenging D. boring
4. Which of the following explanations is NOT true?
A. Habit of TV watching among children is linked to overweight and diabetes.
B.TV viewing may supplant other activities that promote concentration.
C. The rapid scene changes may over excite the developing brain of a young child.
D. Majority of food products advertised on children's television are rich in nutrition.
5. The main purpose of this article is
A. to advise children not to watch TV too much B. to forbid children to watch TW
C. to offer some advice on watching TV D. to introduce the result of a study
