24、An Adventure in Africa

It was late last night, but Kevin could not sleep. His bed was inside a camping tent, and just outside the tent were the fields of Africa, filled with wild animals. His parents slept soundly in another bed across from him. He wondered how they could be so clam. What if a lion came into their tent? He was very frightened. It took a long time before Kevin finally fell asleep.

When the son came up, he felt his mother’s hand on his head. “Morning, Kevin!” she said, “time to wake up and go on the safari.” Before they left America, his parents had explained to him that a safari was a long drive through nature, usually in Africa. During a safari you can see lions and zebras living free, instead of cooped up(限制) in a zoo.

“What if we get close to a lion?” Kevin asked.

“Oh, daring,” she said “nothing will happen to us if we listen to our guide.”

Kevin got dressed slowly, listened to the bird singing outside and began to feel less afraid. After a brief breakfast, he got into a jeep with his parents. The driver, Jim, a kind –looking man, was also their guide.

The jeep took off a dirt road. After a little while Kevin and his parents waited in the tall grass while Jim walked ahead of them and looked around. After a minute Jim raised his hands in the air. “Shhh,” he said in a low voice. “It’s nothing dangerous but don’t speak loudly.” Kevin and his parents walked up to where Jim stood, and soon Kevin saw a beautiful golden creature with dark brown spots(斑点) and a very ,very long neck–a giraffe.

“Wow,” said Kevin, He could not believe how close he was to the giraffe. All his fears disappeared and he began to get excited about the day to come.

25、Fire can help people in many ways. But can also be very harmful. Fire can heat water warm your houses, give light, and cook food. But fire can burn things ，too. It can burn trees, houses, animals, or people. Sometimes big fires can burn forests.

Nobody knows for sure how people began to use fire. But there are many interesting, old stories about the first time a man or woman started a fire. One story from Australia tells about a man very, very long time ago. He went up to the sun by a rope and brought fire down.

Today people know how to make a fire with matches. Children sometimes like to play with them. But matches can be very dangerous. One match can burn a piece of paper, and then it might burn a house. A small fire can become a big fire very fast.

26、

The girl, 9 years old, is named Wu Gangyun. She lives in a poor village in Yunnan Province. When she was 6 years old, her mom found she liked to watch dancing videos and imitated the actions. The parents sent her to dancing classes. Teachers in the county were amazed by what she can do. They suggested her parents to find a better teacher for her. But it cost more than what the family could afford.

In 2018, her mom learned Zhang Ping could help them. Zhang Ping was born in the poor village, too. She has been teaching dancing for 20 years. In 2016, she was touched by a photo of girls standing beside a broken wall in her village. She found some of them were left-behind children, while others were orphans (孤儿). Later, she and her husband Guan Yu, also a dancing teacher, started a program called “Colorful Cloud Plan” to help them. Every summer and winter vacation, they come back to the village to teach girls for free.

In 2019, Zhang left her job in Beijing, set up a training center in the village. After watching videos of Wu dancing, Zhang and Guan realized she was a talent. Since then, Wu went to learn dancing with Zhang every weekend. In October 2019, Wu and other girls in the “Colorful Cloud Program” performed on the stage of CCTV.

“I want to be a dancer in the future and I want to be a person like teacher Zhang,” said Wu. Over the years, Zhang’s “Colorful Cloud Program” has helped 62 children from 17 villages. She believes the children can help more people like them when they grow up.

27、   Why are some people better able to beat the flu than others? Part of the answer, according to a new study, is related to the first flu strain we met in childhood.

Scientists from UCLA and the University of Arizona have found that people’s ability to beat the flu virus is decided not only by the sub types of flu they have had throughout their lives, but also by the sequence (顺序) in which they have been infected by those viruses. Their study was published in PLoS Pathogens. The research offers an explanation for why some people become much worse than others when infected with the same strain of the flu virus.

In addition, UCLA scientists, including Professor James Lloyd-Smith, who was also a senior author of the PLoS Pathogens research, recently completed a study that analyzed (分析)travel-related screening(筛查) for the 2019-nCoV. The researchers reported that screening travelers is not very effective for the 2019 coronavirus ― that it will catch less than half of infected travelers, on average ― and that most infected travelers cannot be found out, meaning that they have no symptoms(症状)yet, and are unaware that they have been at high risk. So stopping the spread of the virus is not simply a matter of improving screening methods at airports and other travel centers.

“This puts the responsibility on government officials and public health officials to follow up with travelers after they arrive, to separate them and trace(追踪) their contacts if they get sick later,” said Lloyd-Smith, a UCLA professor of ecology and evolutionary biology(生态学和进化生物学). “Many governments have started to impose quarantines (隔离), or even travel bans, as they realize that screening is not enough to stop the spread of the coronavirus.”

One major concern, Lloyd-Smith said is that other countries, especially developing nations, lack the infrastructure(基础设施)and resources for those measures, and are therefore vulnerable to importing(输入) the disease. “Much of the public health world is very concerned about the virus being introduced into Africa or India, where large populations exist that are not able to receive advanced medical care,” he said.

【1】Why is the scientists’ research very important?

A.It explains the cause of the flu virus. B.It reduces the risk of people being infected.

C.It analyzes(分析) people’s ability to fight off the virus. D.It stops the spread of the flu virus all around the world.

【2】What do we know about the novel coronavirus from Paragraph 3?

A.Travelers are at high risk of being exposed to it.

B.It is more difficult to stop its spread than expected.

C.Most travelers infected with it are detected by screening.

D.It spreads especially quickly at airports and railway stations.

【3】Why does the writer mention Lloyd-Smith’s words in Paragraph 4?

A.To persuade people not to travel. B.To provide a method to kill the virus.

C.To show the harmful effects of the virus. D.To stress(强调) the responsibilities of officials.

【4】Which of the following best explains the underlined word “vulnerable” in the last paragraph?

A.Easy. B.Impossible. C.Responsible. D.Indifferent.

Facts you don’t know about animals

People have already known a lot about animals. However, there are still some things about animals that may surprise you. Here are some facts about animals you probably didn’t know.

Cows

Cows do have best friends and feel stressed (焦虑的) when they are separated (分开). Sometimes they even a【1】 humans when they are too nervous and angry. However, scientists also found that cows are very social animals and a cow always makes friends with other cows in the herd (兽群). When a cow is with its friend, its heart rate is reduced compared with when it is a【2】 or with a cow from another herd. 

Penguins

During breeding (繁殖) season, a male penguin will offer a pebble (卵石) to a female penguin as a g【3】. If she takes it, they will become partners. When the female penguin lays an egg, she and her husband may c【4】 it on their feet, because some penguins don’t build nests.

Crocodiles

When crocodiles eat something, they always swallow (吞) their prey. They don’t chew it like other animals. To help with digestion (消化), they swallow stones which grind up the food in their stomachs. But these stones can h【5】 be defecated (排泄掉), so they may stay in their stomachs all their lives.

Elephants

Elephants use plants to get rid of p【6】 or other illness. Scientists once found a pregnant (怀孕的) elephant in Kenya who kept eating a kind of plant for a few days, while this kind of plant was not part of her regular d【7】. Four days later, she could give birth to a baby elephant quietly. The same plant was used by the local women to help with labor (分娩).

Do you find these facts amazing? Maybe you can introduce some of them to your friends and see how surprised they are when they know the facts!
