     Having visited museums and churches, visitors will be delighted to try these things which can be done
and seen in London. They are well worth visiting.
     London Eye
     Make a reservation (预订) for London Eye before you leave the United States. The Eye is a huge
wheel that takes you up into the sky. It was built to celebrate the millennium (千禧年), and has drawn
millions of tourists ever since. Fun for the entire family, the Eye is a great way to see all the spectacular
sites, including the River Thames, Parliament, Leicester Square, and Big Ben.
     Speaker"s Corner
     Speaker"s Corner never fails to draw a crowd. Near Marble Arch in Hyde Park, a group gathers every Sunday to speak their mind. You"ll hear everything from political activists to religious zealots (狂热者), and all who live between these extremes. Go shopping on Oxford Street afterward, and walk over to Trafalgar Square to see where people have toured for ages.
     Kew Gardens
     If you garden, or appreciate beautiful surroundings, then you will be in heaven wandering the paths of
the Royal Botanic Kew Gardens, simply known as Kew Gardens. Featuring the world"s largest collection of living plants, the collections in the greenhouses and beautiful displays of foliage throughout the garden

and skills with things-which are your best skills?

     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.

A. rise

A. there are many kinds of species
B. there are a lot of high trees

will be able to live to be 1,000 years old!  2

repaired.Broken hearts must be replaced.The same thing can happen with the human body, he thinks.

also try to remove diseasecausing molecules in our bodies._5_.

     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.                  
D. Touching.
