There are literally hundreds of national parks and wildlife areas in Africa that you can travel to.
Here are the top four travel destinations in Africa:
Tanzania-Serengeti NP
During the annual migration, when the wildebeests and zebras pack_up and leave their living
areas to find fresher ones, the Serengeti is an astonishing place to be. It"s a very good travel spot
in Africa at other times of the year too but the migration has been ranked by many as one of the
wonders of the natural world.
Kenya-Masai Mara NP
If you want to see the big cats, this wildlife park is the best of the best. Lion, leopard and cheetah
abound and they are relatively easy to spot because of the grassland vegetation which means you get
good views for miles around. Another big plus is the fact that going offroad is allowed and it is a big
advantage because the animals will rarely oblige you and stay next to the major roads.
South Africa-Kruger National Park
For the variety of species no other place in Africa can come close to the Kruger Park. And because
it is so large it has a number of different ecosystems that you can pass through in your search for animals
and birds. It is one of the best managed parks in Africa and the accommodation is wellequipped, too.
Zambia-South Luangwa National Park
South Luangwa is a diamond in the rough, just waiting for enough exposure to bring it to its rightful
place in the crown of prime Africa trips. It has been regarded as one of the best places in Africa to see
the special leopard and it is the birthplace of the walking travel. |

Nobody has ever succeeded in their attempt to stay young and live a very long life. 1 But is this
really true?
Dr Aubrey de Grey thinks that we can stop people getting old and that in about 20 years, people
will be able to live to be 1,000 years old! 2
In Dr Grey"s opinion, getting old is a problem that can be solved. 3 If we can cure this disease,
we can stop the aging process.We can also make people have young bodies again.
Dr Grey believes that science will soon be able to stop the causes of aging so that a person"s body
won"t get weak and won"t suffer from the typical diseases of old age.
Dr Grey compares the human body to a house.As the house gets older, some things must be
repaired.Broken hearts must be replaced.The same thing can happen with the human body, he thinks.
We can use stem cell technology to grow new, healthy tissue to replace the old, damaged one.We can
also try to remove diseasecausing molecules in our bodies._5_.
6 However, they admit that Dr Grey"s ideas have not yet been proved wrong.Dr Grey is
convinced that his opinions are realistic and that his research is very important.If aging is a disease, he
says, we must try to cure it.
A. At the same time, people"s bodies will stay young and healthy.
B. Scientists succeeded in solving the problem of aging long ago.
C. A lot of scientists think his ideas not realistic.
D. When our bodies change as we get older, this is like a disease.
E. New deadly diseases may also be cured, if we can stop the aging process.
F. It seems that everybody must get old and die.
G. In this way, a person could easily live to be 1,000 years old.

In their book Time to Eat the Dog: The Real Guide to Sustainable Living, Robert and Brenda
Vale say keeping a mediumsized dog has the same ecological impact as driving 10,000 km a year
in a 4.6 liter Land Cruiser.
"We"re not actually saying it is time to eat the dog. We"re just saying that we need to think about
and know the ecological impact of some of the things we do and that we take for granted."
Constructing and driving the jeep for a year requires 0.41 hectares of land, while growing and
manufacturing a dog"s food takes about 0.84 hectares-or 1.1 hectares in the case of a large dog
such as a German shepherd.
Convincing flesheating cats and dogs to go vegetarian for the sake of the planet is a nonstarter,
the Vales say. Instead they recommend keeping "greener", smaller, and more sustainable pets, such
as goldfish, chickens or rabbits.
The book"s playful title, and serious suggestion that pet animals may be usefully "recycled", by
being eaten by their owners or turned into pet food when they die, may not appeal to animal fans.
Annoying as the idea may be, the question is valid given the planet"s growing population and limited
resources, Robert Vale said.
"Issues about sustainability are increasingly becoming things that are going to require us to make
choices which are as difficult as eating your dog. It"s not just about changing your light bulbs or taking
a cloth bag to the supermarket," he said.
"It"s about much more challenging and difficult issues," he added. "Once you see where cats and
dogs fit in your overall balance of things, you might decide to have the cat but not also to have the
two cars and the three bathrooms and be a meat eater yourself." |
| 1. The authors gave their book the playful title to ________. |
A. make it amusing
B. create a vivid image
C. show writing skills
D. arouse people"s concern |
| 2. In Paragraph 3 the writer mainly wants to tell us ________. |
A. the amount of consumed land
B. the neglected ecological impact
C. some familiar examples
D. some actual figures |
| 3. Who may not like the idea of "recycling" pet animals? |
A. Manufacturers.
B. Drivers.
C. Animal fans.
D. The authorities. |
| 4. What do the authors think of living a sustainable life? |
A. Challenging.
B. Inspiring.
C. Inviting.

Similar things continuously happened in Haiti and Chile. Thousands of people were buried in the
earthquake and lost their lives. What if we could have warned them? People are always trying hard
to find a way of preventing building collapsing (倒塌). Better materials and technology help, but are
not a solution. Just like humans, a building has its own life circle from "birth" to "death". If we know
when a building is going to collapse, we can repair it in advance or get out before it falls.
Now, scientists at the University of Illinois have developed a material that turns red before it breaks.
The invention could be used in things like climbing ropes, or bridge supports. The secret behind the
colorchanging material is a type of molecule (分子). A molecule is a group of atoms held together by
chemical bonds (化学键). Imagine you and your friends standing in a circle, holding hands. Each
person stands for one atom, your hands represent the bonds, and the entire circle represents a molecule.
If one person lets go of his or her hands, the molecule changes color. The research team put the
molecule into a soft material. When the researchers stretched (拉紧) the material, it turned bright red
a few seconds before it broke into two pieces. When they repeatedly stretched and relaxed the
material, without breaking it, it only turned a little red.
The major problem is, light can get rid of the red color. When the team shone a bright light on the
molecule, the broken bond was fixed, and the color disappeared. If bright light keeps the red color
from appearing, the material"s warning system will be useless. Scientists still have a lot of work to do
before the colorchanging molecule can be used outside the lab. |
| 1. The passage mainly about ________. |
A. a way of preventing buildings from breaking down
B. a way of warning before buildings collapse
C. a series of earthquakes in Haiti and Chile
D. a newlydiscovered structure of a molecule |
| 2. According to the passage, we can conclude that ________. |
A. scientists have found the life circle of buildings from "birth" to "death"
B. there are problems to solve before putting the new material to use
C. bright light makes the red color visible to human eyes
D. the new material is unlikely to be used in building bridges |
| 3. The colorchanging molecule can ________. |
A. remind people to leave buildings before they fall
B. help building materials get stretched if necessary
C. prevent the earthquake from killing people
D. make building materials much stronger |
| 4. The warning system is based on the fact that ________. |
A. red color won"t show up when it meets bright light
B. a building has its own life circle of "birth" to "death"
C. a material with a certain type of molecule can turn red when stretched
D. the broken bond will fix itself when a molecule meets bright light |
