21、Wild animals play an important role in the nature. Do you know how to protect them properly? A wild baby bison (野牛) at Yellowstone National Park had to be killed because of tourists.
The tourists thought that the baby bison looked cold. They put it in their car and drove to a park ranger (管理员) station.
A ranger described the action of the tourists as a “dangerous move” because adult bison can look after their babies very well and they will attack to protect their young.
Park rangers took the animal from the car and set it free. But, sadly, the baby was refused by its family because it had the smell from humans.
Yellowstone National Park explained on Facebook that the smell from people can cause parent animals to refuse to accept their young. The park tried again and again to make the baby bison lives with its parents. After several times they had to give up.
Many people expressed anger at both the tourists and the park.
The park said that they did not have the ability to care for a young bison. They also said that it is “not the task of the park to save animals”.
The tourists were penalized $ 110 for touching park -wildlife. Park rules say that visitors to Yellowstone should stay at least 22 meters away from all wildlife, and at least 90 meters away from bears and wolves.
One ranger said that Yellowstone recently added many safety signs that say staying near the wildlife there is dangerous to humans and animals as well. Those signs are written in English and other languages.

22、When almost everyone has a mobile phone, why are more than half of Australian homes still paying for a landline (座机)?
These days you’d be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age of 15 who doesn’t own a mobile phone. In fact, plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket. Practically everyone can make and receive calls anywhere, anytime.
Still, 55 percent of Australians have a landline phone at home and only just over a quarter (29%) rely only on their smart phones, according to a survey. Of those Australians who still have a landline, a third admit that it’s not really necessary and they’re keeping it as a security blanket — 19 percent say they never use it while a further 13 percent keep it in case of emergencies. I think my home falls into that category.
More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their home phone. Age is naturally a factor — only 58 percent of Generation Ys(people born in or after 1980) still use landlines now and then, compared to 84 percent of Baby Boomers (people born between 1946 and 1964) who’ve perhaps had the same home number for 50 years. Age isn’t the only factor; I’d say it’s also to do with the makeup of your household.
Generation Xers (people born between 1965 and 1980) with young families, like my wife and I, can still find it convenient to have a home phone rather than providing a mobile phone for every family member. That said, to be honest the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers parents, to the point where we play a game and guess who is calling before we pick up the phone (using Caller ID would take the fun out of it).
How attached are you to your landline? How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries?
【1】What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about mobile phones?
A.Their target users.
B.Their wide popularity.
C.Their major functions.
D.Their complex design.
【2】What can we say about Baby Boomers?
A.They like smart phone games.
B.They enjoy guessing callers’ identity.
C.They keep using landline phones.
D.They are attached to their family.
【3】According to paragraph 4, what is the main reason for Australian families to keep their landline?
A.Users' age.
B.Convenience.
C.Household decoration.
D.Mobility.
【4】What can be inferred about the landline from the last paragraph?
A.It remains a family necessity.
B.It is as important as the gas light.
C.It may increase daily expenses.
D.It will fall out of use some day.
23、Life is hard-even harder than anyone thought it would be. When you were younger, you dreamed of the world being your playground, and you were told that you could do anything and be anyone you wanted. Somehow, though, things haven’t been the smooth sailing that you wanted them to be. The world seems to go against you, and the last thing you want to hear is “Cheer up!”
Still, there’s a couple of things you might not notice about your situation. Next time you’re down, maybe the following will provide motivation.
Firstly, not everything is bad. It’s a well-accepted fact that bad news makes for sensational (极好的) television ratings. The fact is that something negative catches a lot more attention than something positive, and that’s because it’s easy to see things in a negative light. However, that shouldn’t distract you from the bigger picture.
Resist the tunnel vision that results from constant negativity. Remember that even though there’s lots of really nasty stuff going on, you’re surrounded by some pretty awesome stuff as well.
You should also remember other people aren’t you. No one likes being compared to another person. What makes it even worse, if that’s even possible, is when you do it to yourself.
Stop comparing yourself to another person and you’ll realize that you’re much more awesome than you give yourself credit for.
Lastly, failure isn’t where the game stops. So you tried something new, but you didn’t follow through. Frustrated at yourself, you stop trying. As a result, your quality of life goes down terribly. You’ve given up on it, though, because you don’t see the point (since you failed the first time).
Now, you’re an adult. The things you are trying are much more complicated than five-year-old you. However, your behaviour shouldn’t change in the slightest-when you fail in something, that’s just more information in your data bank. You know that method doesn’t work, so try another one! And another one after that! Do this until you figure it out. Giving up is for losers, and you sure aren’t one of those.
【1】The author mentioned bad news in order to show that .
A.bad news makes people see things in a negative light
B.bad news is more likely to catch people’s eyes
C.bad news attracts people to see positive things
D.bad news has a negative effect on television ratings
【2】What does the underlined part “nasty stuff” in Para. 4 probably mean?
A.Unstable emotions.
B.Important events.
C.Amazing incidents .
D.Something unpleasant.
【3】How should we view failure according to the passage?
A.We will change our behaviour.
B.We will keep trying the old method.
C.We should learn from failure.
D.We should think in a more complicated way.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A.It inspires us to learn from negative experiences.
B.It compares negative and positive experiences.
C.It criticizes those who are affected by bad experiences.
D.It discusses how negative experiences affect others.
