Most people think of lions as strictly
African beasts, but only because they's been killed off almost everywhere else.
Ten thousand years ago lions spanned vast sections of the globe. Now lions hold
a small fraction of their former habitat, and Asiatic lions, a subspecies that
spit from African lions perhaps 100,000 years ago, hang on to an almost
impossibly small slice of their former territory. India is the
proud steward of these 300 or so lions, which live primarily in a
560-square-mile sanctuary (保护区). It took me a year and a half to get a permit to
explore the entire Gir Forest-and no time at all to see why these lions became
symbols of royalty and gieatness. A tiger will hide in the forest unseen, but a
lion stands its ground, curious and unafraid—lionhearted. Though they told me in
subtle ways when I got too close, Gir's lions allowed me unique glimpses into
their lives during my three months in the forest. It's odd to think that they
are threatened by extinction; Git has as many lions as it can hold—too many, in
fact. With territory in short supply, lions move about near the boundary of the
forest and even leave it altogether, often clashing with people. That's one
reason India 'is creating a second sanctuary. There are other pressing reasons:
outbreaks of disease or natural disasters. In 1994 a serious disease killed more
than a third of Africa'sSerengeti lions—a thousand animals—a fate that could
easily happen to Gir's eats. These lions are especially vulnerable to disease
because they descend from as few as a dozen individuals. "If you do a DNA test,
Asiatic lions actually look like identical twins," says Stephen O' Brien, a
geneticist(基因学家) who has studied them. Yet the dangers are bidden, and you
wouldn't suspect them by watching these lords of the forest. The lions display
vitality, and no small measure of charm. Though the gentle
intimacy of play vanishes when it' s time to eat, meals in Git are not
necessarily frantic affairs. For a mother and her baby lion sharing a deer, or a
young mate eating an antelope(羚羊), there's no need to fight for a cut of the
kill. The animals they hunt for food are generally smaller in Gir than those in
Africa, and hunting groups tend to be smaller as
well.

Children live in a world in which
science has tremendous importance. During their lifetimes it will affect them
more and more. In time, many of them will work at jobs that depend heavily on
science—for example, concerning energy sources, pollution control, highway
safety, wilderness conservation, and population growth, and population growth.
As taxpayers they will pay for scientific research and exploration. And, as
consumers, they will Be bombarded(受到轰击) by advertising, much of which is said to
be based on science. Therefore, it is important that children,
the citizens of the future, become functionally acquainted with science-with the
process and spirit of science, as well as with its facts and principles.
Fortunately, science has a natural appeal for youngsters. They can relate it to
so many things that they encounter—flashlights, tools, echoes, and rainbows.
Besides, science is an excellent medium for teaching far more than content. It
can help pupils learn to think logically, to organize and analyse ideas. It can
provide practice in communication skills and mathematics. In fact, there is no
area of the curriculum to which science cannot contribute, whether it is
geography, history, language arts, music, or art! Above all,
good science teaching leads to what might be called a "scientific attitude."
Those who possess it seek answers through ohserving, experimenting, and
reasoning, rather than blindly accepting the pronouncements of others. They
weigh evidence carefully and reach conclusions with caution. While respecting
the opinions of others, they expect honesty, accuracy, and objectivity and are
on guard against hasty judgments and sweeping generalizations. All children
should be developing this approach to solving problems, butit cannot be
expected to appear automatically with the mere acquisition of information.
Continual practice, through guided participation, is
needed.
Adult education is the practice of teaching and educating adults. This is often done in the workplace, or (31) "continuing education" courses at secondary schools, or at a college or university. Educating adults differs from educating (32) in several ways. One of the most important (33) is that adults have gained knowledge and experience which can (34) add value to a learning experience or interfere with it. Another important difference is that adults frequently must apply their knowledge in some (35) fashion in order to learn effectively there must be a (36) and a reasonable expectation that the new knowledge will help them further that goal. One example, (37) in the 1990s, was the spread of computer training courses in (38) adults, most of them office workers, could enroll These courses would teach basic use of the operating system or specific application (39) . Because the skills (40) to interact with a PC were so new, many people who had been working white-collar jobs for ten years or more eventually took such training courses, either of their own will (to gain computer skills and thus can higher pay) or at the request of their managers.
Is there something as truth? For a good many centuries "the search for truth" has been (31) the noblest activity of the human mind, but the seekers after truth have come to such (32) conclusions that it often seems that very little progress has been made. (33) ,there are many people who reel that we are actually going backward. They (34) , often contemptuously, that we have accumulated more "knowledge" than our ancestors, but they think we are farther from the truth than ever, or even that we have (35) the truth that we once possessed. If people look for anything long enough without finding it, the question naturally arises (36) the thing is really there to find. You have seen a picture of an animal with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a serpent's tail—and maybe an eagle's wings for good (37) . There is plenty of evidence that each part of this animal (38) —but there is no (39) evidence that the parts ever occur in this combination. It is at least conceivable that the seekers after "truth" have made a similar mistake and invented an (40) combination.

Advertising is a form of selling. For thousands of years there have been individuals who have tried to (31) others to buy the food they have produced or the goods they have made or the services they can per form. But in the 19th century the mass production of goods resulting from the Industrial Revolution made per son to person selling inefficient. The mass distribution of goods that (32) the development of the rail way and highway made person-to-person selling too slow and expensive. At the same time mass corrmmunication first newspapers and magazines then radio and television made mass selling through (33) possible. The objective of any advertisement is to convince people that it is in their best interests to take the action the advertiser is recommending. The action (34) be to purchase a product use a service vote for a political candidate or even to join the Army. Advertising as a (35) developed first and most rapidly in the United States.

Canada spent about 1.2 percent of its gross national product (37) advertising. (38) advertising brings the economies of mass selling to the manufacturer it produces benefits for the consumer as well. Some of those economies are passed along to the purchaser so that the cost of a product sold primarily through advertising is usually far (39) than one sold through personal salespeople. Advertising brings people immediate news about products that have just come on the market. Finally advertising (40) for the programs on commercial television and radio and for about two thirds of the cost of publishing magazine and newspapers.
American no longer expect public figures, whether in speech or in writing, to command the English language with skill and gift. Nor do they aspire to such command themselves. In his latest book, Doing Our Own Thing, the Degradation of language and Music and why we should like, care, John Me Whorter, a linguist and controversialist of mixed liberal and conservative views, sees the triumph of 1960 scounter-eulture as responsible for the decline of formal English. But the cult of the authentic and the personal, "doing our own thing", has spelt the death of formal speech, writing, poetry and music. While even the modestly educated sought an elevated tone when they put pen to paper before the 1960s, even the most well regarded writing since then has sought to capture spoken English on the page- Equally, in poetry, the highly personal, performative gene is the only form that could claim real liveliness, in both oral and written English, talking is triumphing over speaking, spontaneity over craft. Illustrated with an entertaining array of examples from both high and low culture, the trend that Mr. McWhorter documents is unmistakable. But it is less clear, to take the question of his subtitle, why we should, like care. As a linguist, he acknowledges that all varieties of human language, including non-standard ones like Black English, can be powerfully expressive—there exists no language or dialect in the world that cannot convey complex ideas. He is not arguing, as many do, that we can no longer think straight because we do not talk proper. Russians have a deep love for their own language and carry large chunks of memorized poetry in their heads, while Italian politicians tend to elaborate speech that would seem old-fashioned to most English-speak- ers. Mr. Me Whorter acknowledges that formal language is not strictly necessary, and proposes no radical education reforms—he is really grieving over the loss of something beautiful more than useful. We now take our English "on paper plates instead of china". A shame, perhaps, but probably an inevitable one.
There is no living creature that does
not need sleep or complete rest every day. If you want to know why, just try{{U}}
(41) {{/U}}without sleep for a long period of time! You{{U}} (42)
{{/U}}discover that your mind and body would become{{U}} (43)
{{/U}}tired to work properly. You would become irritable and find it hard to
think clearly or{{U}} (44) {{/U}}on your work. So sleep is quite{{U}}
(45) {{/U}}the time when the cells of your body{{U}} (46)
{{/U}}from the work of the day and{{U}} (47) {{/U}}supplies of
energy for the next{{U}} (48) {{/U}}of activity. One of
the things we all know about sleep is that we are{{U}} (49) {{/U}}in
sleep. We do not know what is{{U}} (50) {{/U}}on around us. But that
does not mean the body stops{{U}} (51) {{/U}}activity. The vital organs
continue to work during sleep, but most of the body functions are{{U}} (52)
{{/U}}down. For example, our breathing becomes slower and
deeper. The heart beats{{U}} (53) {{/U}}slowly, and the blood pressure
is lower. Our arms and legs become limp(软弱的), and muscles that control our
posture(姿势) are{{U}} (54) {{/U}}. It would be impossible for our body to
relax to such an{{U}} (55) {{/U}}if we were awake. So sleep does for

these things without knowing it.
