21、   Spring is in the air, as is romance. Perhaps you're even thinking of taking the plunge and making a honey trip with your significant other?

Before you do, why not take a look at a list of the top three places in the world to propose (求婚)? With suggestions for traditionalists and private types, you just might find the perfect spot to pop the question.

New York

If you pay attention to romantic comedies, New York is the place for romance. Ever since the Dutch first entered this harbor in 1624 it has become a historic landmark and a must visit dreamland.

Every stretch of this island is packed full of fun that will keep everyone busy. Take a leaf out of sleepless in Seattle and head to the top of the Empire State Building at night, or how about run to your loved one on the streets of NYC this New Years even like in when harry Met Sally?

Paris

Sweeping views? Check. Grand old stately home? Check. Luxurious spots to propose? Check. Pack your passports and say goodbye to your daily routine life-it's less than three hours to Paris from London by Eurostar. Famous for its breathtaking architecture, and many cultural attractions, France's capital is a must-see destination. While we're not suggesting you climb the Eiffel Tower for the big moment. There's a reason why this is the city of love, if you keep your proposal original. So gentleman, take your lady to the Louvre, turn your back on the Mona Lisa and declare she is more beautiful than the famous work of art.

Las Vegas

Do you want to bundle the proposal and wedding all-in-one? Plead to. Las Vegas, get down on one knee, show your love and get married in less time than it takes to order 'honeymoon suit’ and if it doesn't work out. There's still plenty of entertain.

22、One of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might someday get lost in a “sea of technology” rather than experiencing the natural world. Fear-producing TV and computer games are leading to a serious disconnect between kids and the great outdoors, which will change the wild places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on child’s play.

Each of us has a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. “If the decline in parks use continues across North America, who will defend parks against encroachment (蚕食)?” asks Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods.

Without having a nature experience, kids, can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That applies to everything from their physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive (认知的) skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parents — and they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that play in nature fosters (培养) leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest. Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three-year-old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more.

Kids are not responsible. They are over-protected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time, but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite (仪式) of passage.

Everyone, from developers, to schools and outdoor citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that cement love, respect and need for landscape. As parents, we should devote some of our energies to taking our kids into nature. This could yet be our greatest cause.

【1】The main idea of Paragraph 2 is that ________.

A．kids miss the sense of wonder outdoors

B．parks are in danger of being gradually encroached

C．Richard Louv is the author of Last Child in the Woods

D．children are expected to develop into protectors of nature

【2】According to the passage, children without experiencing nature will ________.

A．be less healthy both physically and mentally

B．be over-protected by their parents

C．keep a high sense of wonder

D．change wild places and creatures for the better

【3】According to the author, children’s breaking an arm is ________.

A．the fault on the part of their parents

B．the natural experience in their growing up

C．the result of their own carelessness in play

D．the effect of their repetitive stress from computers

【4】What does the underlined word “cement” in the last paragraph mean?

A．Weaken.

B．Strengthen.

C．Lower.

D．Decease.

【5】In writing this passage, the author mainly intends to ________.

A．blame children for getting lost in computer games

B．encourage children to protect parks from encroachment

C．show his concern about children’s lack of experience in nature

D．inspire children to keep the sense of wonder about things around

23、Being without a cell phone can make you feel as if you have been cut off from your friends and family, and from other events happening around the world. 【1】 You have more time to focus on goals and activities you enjoy and completely free from people who can contact you at a moment’s notice. Here are some ways to live without a cell phone.

Carry a book with you to have something to do. If you’re worried about being bored while you travel between work and home, wait in lines, or simply have a few minutes with nothing to do, start bringing a book with you. 【2】

Remove distracting apps from your cell phone. What apps do you find yourself checking over and over again? Do you often open up your Internet apps to look things up? 【3】 If you really need to check on something, such as your email, use a computer.

【4】 If you find that you wake up and immediately reach for your phone, try leaving it in another room. 【5】 For example, you can start your day by spending a few extra minutes making a homemade breakfast. Once you are comfortable leaving your phone in another room at night, try leaving it in another room during the day. Leave your phone in your bag during work or school hours.

A．Stop using your phone.

B．Leave your phone in another room at night.

C．This makes it harder to separate yourself from your phone.

D．Find another habit to replace your morning mindless phone use.

E．But there are many advantages of not having your cell phone at hand.

F．You’ll always have something to do that never runs out of battery power.

G．Remove those apps so that you aren’t attracted to open them up mindlessly.

24、It’s a sunny afternoon at the Bronx Zoo, in New York City. Children are excited as a female Asian elephant named Happy comes into view. Waving her ears from side to side and wrapping her trunk around the fence leisurely, Happy seems to be living a happy life.

The Bronx Zoo is one of about 60 zoos in the U. S. where you can see an elephant. With the number of Asian elephants declining every year—only about 50,000 are left in the wild—a zoo might be the only chance any of us will ever get to see one.

But the Nonhuman Rights Project(NhRP), an animal—rights group, says Happy is lonely. A fence separates her from Patty, another elephant. Contact through a fence isn’t enough, the NhRP says. Steven is the group’s president. “We understand what Happy’s life means to her,” he says, “which is almost nothing at all.”

So the NhRP is taking the Bronx Zoo to court. The group says Happy should be moved to a protected area where she can have space to hang about and interact with other elephants. The NhRP’s case against the Bronx Zoo is the first of its kind in the U. S. The group is relying on a legal order meant for humans. It says a person who has been unlawfully imprisoned must be released. The NhRP will argue in court that Happy should have that same right.

Experts say elephants are intelligent and thrive when they form social ties in the wild. Joyce Poole studies them in Africa. She thinks keeping elephants in a city is “a recipe for disaster”. “As you can imagine, if you were locked behind bars and lost freedom, would there be much you could do?” she says.

But the Bronx Zoo insists that Happy is well cared for according to animal protection laws Besides, some people claim removing animals like Happy from zoos would be a mistake because zoos reach more people than any other group involved with conservation. They believe if there’s a time when children can no longer visit zoos to grow up with a connection to the animals, it’ll come at a great cost.

【1】What do the first two paragraphs mainly tell us?

A．Asian elephants are becoming extinct.

B．Zoos allow people to bond with wild animals.

C．Zoos are the safest shelter for Asian elephants

D．The elephants in zoos are disturbed by visitors

【2】Why is the NhRP taking the Bronx Zoo to court?

A．The zoo breaks animal protection laws.

B．They find Happy is suffering from ill health.

C．They think the zoo restricts Happy’s freedom

D．The zoo fails to meet the visitors’ requirements.

【3】What is Joyce’s attitude to keeping elephants in a city?

A．Opposed.

B．Uncaring.

C．Supportive.

D．Cautious.

【4】What can we infer from the text?

A．The court will stand by the Bronx Zoo.

B．Children will have less access to nature.

C．More wild animals will be released from zoos.

D．It will be challenging for the NhRP to win the case.
