grassroots level in Tibet, you"ll become more mature," he said."And when you look back at that part of
experience in the future, you"ll have no regret."

阅读理解。                                              Special Bridges Help Animals Cross the Road
                                                            --Reported by Sheila Carrick
     Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side.
     Most people know this joke. But recently, some people have been much more worried about how the
grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road.
     "Millions of animals die each year on U.S. roads," the Federal Highway Administration reports. In fact,
only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U.S. today. The main reason? Roadkill.
     "Ecopassages" may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths both over and
under roads. "These ecopassages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid road accidents," said
Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Protection Society.
     But do animals actually use the ecopassages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona
University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an ecopassage that went under a highway. This showed
that the lions used the passage.
     Builders of ecopassages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around
them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals as different as salamanders and grizzly bears are using the
bridges and underpasses.
     The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might see an
animals overpass! 1. The writer uses the example of "ocelots" to show that ______.A. wild animals have become more dangerous
B. the driving conditions have improved greatly

D. the measure for protecting wildlife fails to work 2. From the news story, we know an ecopassage is ______. A. an underground path for cars
B. a fence built for the safety of the area
C. a bridge for animals to get over a river
D. a pass for animals to cross the road 3. When the writer says that animals seem "to be catching on", he means ______. A. animals begin to realize the dangers on the road
B. animals are crossing the road in groups
C. animals are increasing in number
D. animals begin to learn to use ecopassages 4. The best title for the passage is _______. A. Special bridges help animals cross the road
B. Endangered animals increase because of roadkill
C. Animals fail to cross the road

阅读理解。     LOS ANGELES-The advice offered from any other 82-year-olds might have made young people yawn and
roll their eyes.
     But when former South African President Nelson Mandela advised two dozen Los Angeles to take education seriously, his audience was listening.
     The famed old man said to the young people that if they expected to improve the lives of others in the future, they must work at improving their own lives now."Education is one of the most important weapons you have," Mandela advised,"it will place you in a far better position to serve yourself and your community."
     "The point is, he was young once and rebellious once and he kept his dream alive, just as you each have
dreams." Explained South Africa"s ambassador to the United States, Sheita Sisulu, as she introduced Mandela to
the young crowd.
     Asked for specific advice about changing society by 21-year-old Ahmed Younis, Mandela suggested that
somehow helping arouse more American interest in foreign affairs might be a start.
     "There is an impression that Americans, in general, have not followed international developments properly," Mandela said,"I"m not making that statement myself, but there are serious political analysts who say Americans
are not well informed as to what has happened in the world."
     22-year-old Omari Trice said Mandela left him full of passion."He"s a person who set the tone for an entire
nation." said Trice.
     "You go away feeling you need to be Superman in order to get things done." Trice said. 1. From the passage, we can conclude that American youth ______. A. are willing to accept the advice from world-famous leaders

阅读理解。     SOUTHPORT, ENGLAND-A British teaching union famous for strange ideas has supported proposal to
employ dogs as classroom assistants.
     At the annual conference of the Professional Association of teachers in Southport, northwest of England,
one person suggested properly trained dogs be able to keep order in primary schools. They can round up lost
children and protect those who experience unfortunate"accidents". Wendy Dyble, a Sheetland Islands woman
who teaches children up to age seven, made it clear to her fellow friends that she was not "barking mad". They
obviously believed her, supporting her idea by 16 votes to 13, with a total of 63 abstentions.
     He said big dogs could help round up children, keep them in line, lick up the milk they spill on the floor and
provide the extra eyes that a teacher needs to keep order."A big dog would also be helpful for breaking up
fights and look for lost property, like gym shoes or dolls," Dyble said at the conference."The dog will also be
useful in sniffing out smells that children do not own up to," she added. "It would be nice for the teacher not to
have to go round sniffing each child to find the culprit."
     The idea was greeted by the Dog Defense League but less so by bigger teaching unions. A spokesman for
Education Secretary David Blunkett, who is blind, said his guide dog was always popular with pupils when he
visited schools. The Professional Association of Teachers, with around 35,000 members, is the smallest
teaching union in Britain. It has an honour for occasional strange ideas.
     Earlier this week, its annual conference here suggested stopping exams because they lead to stress and
introducing selection at the age of 12 based on physical coordination and manual skill in the use of hand. 1. According to the writer"s opinion, to employ dogs as classroom assistants _____.A. is a wonderful idea
B. can improve the relation between children and animals
C. is beyond ordinary people"s minds
D. can make some teachers lose jobs 2. What Dyble said at the conference _____. A. gained some support from the members
B. frightened everyone at the conference
C. interested everyone at the conference
D. caused some trouble to trained dogs3. A spokesman for Education Secretary _____. A. once used a dog as classroom assistant
B. sang high praise for Dyble"s idea
C. would employ dogs as teachers
D. benefited from dogs more than others 4. The last paragraph of this passage _____. A. has nothing to do with the topic of this passage
B. shows there are too many exams in British school
