In many countries today, laws protect wildlife. In India, the need for such protection was realized centuries ago.
About 300 B.C. an Indian writer described forest that were somewhat like national parks today. The killing of game beasts was carefully supervised(監視). Some animals were fully protected．Within the forest, nobody was allowed to cut timber(wood for building), burn wood for charcoal(炭), or catch animals for their furs. Animals that became dangerous to human visitors were caught or killed outside the park so that other animals would not become uneasy.
The need for wildlife protection is greater now than ever before. About a thousand species of animals are in danger of extinction, and the rate of extinction was about one species every fifty years from A.D. 1 to 1800, but now it is about one species every year. Everywhere, men are trying to solve the problem of protecting wildlife caring for the rapid growth of the world’s population.

Contribution of Coeducation
Imagining being asked to spend twelve or so years of your life in a society which consisted only of members of own sex. How would you react? Unless there was something definitely wrong with you, you wouldn’t be too happy about it, to say the least. It is all the more surprising therefore that so many parents in the world choose to impose such abnormal conditions on their children – conditions which they themselves wouldn’t put up with for one minute!
Any discussion of this topic is bound to question the aims of education. Stuffing children’s heads full of knowledge is far from being foremost among them. One of the chief aims of educations is to equip future citizens with all they require to take their place in adult society. Now adult society is made up of men and women, so how can a segregated school possibly offer the right sort of preparation for it? Anyone entering adult society after years of segregation can only be in for a shock.
A co-educational school offers children nothing less than a true version of society in miniature. Boys and girls are given the opportunity to get to know each other, to learn to live together from their earliest years. They are put in a position where they can compare themselves with each other in terms of academic ability, athletic achievement and many of the extra-curricular activities which are part of school life. What a practical advantage it is ( to give just a small example ) to be able to put on a school play in which the male parts will be taken by boys and the female parts by girls! What nonsense co-education makes of the argument that boys are cleverer than girl or vice-versa. When segregated, boys and girls are made to feel that they are a race apart. Rivalry between the sexes is fostered. In a coeducational school, everything falls into its proper place.
But perhaps the greatest contribution of co-education is the healthy attitude to life it encourages. Boys don’t grow up believing that women are mysterious creatures – airy goddesses, more like book-illustrations to a fairy-tale, than human beings. Girls don’t grow up imagining that men are romantic heroes. Years of living together at school dispel illusions of this kind. There are no goddesses with freckles, pigtails, piercing voices and inky fingers. There are no romantic heroes with knobby knees, dirty fingernails and unkempt hair. The awkward stage of adolescence brings into sharp focus some of the physical and emotional problems involved in growing up. These can better be overcome in a co-educational environment. Segregated schools sometimes provide the right conditions for sexual deviation. This is hardly possible under a co-educational system. When the time comes for the pupils to leave school, they are fully prepared to enter society as well-adjusted adults. They have already had years of experience in coping with many of the problems that face men and women.
What is the best title for this passage?
A only co-education can be in harmony with society.
B people are in great need of co-education.
C any form of education other than co-education is simply unthinkable.
D co-education has many features.
what does co-education offer to children?
A A society. B A true small model of society.
C A real life. D True version of social condition.
According to the passage, what is one of the chief aims of education?
A It is for students to acquire knowledge.
B It is to equip future citizens with scientific technology.
C It is to equip future citizens with what is required in getting a position in society.
D It is for students to get academic achievements.
Why do boys and girls in co-education have no illusion about each other?
A They live together and know each other too well.
B Years of living together at school dismiss such illusion.
C co-education encourage them to have an healthy attitude toward life.
D They are familiar with each other’s problems.

Researchers found that compared with teens who spent much of their free time in front of TV sets, those who were physically active often had higher self-respect, better grades and were less likely to have risky behavior like taking drugs, smoking, or drinking．The findings, based on a national survey of nearly 12,000 middle and high school students, were published in a journal．
"Across the board, children who engaged in any kind of activity were belier off than kids who watched a lot of TV," said study co author professor Penny Gordon Larsen of the University of North Carolina．
Other studies have linked certain content of television programs, such as violence and sex, to children's behavior．But beyond this issue, Gordon-Larsen said that kids who spend hours watching TV "miss opportunities" to develop skills, learn teamwork and have other experiences that their more active peers benefit from．
That doesn't mean, however, that kids have to be on the football team． The study found that some activities like skating and skateboarding——which adults sometimes frown upon——were also related to better self respect and less risk taking．
That skaters were better behaved than TV watchers might come as a surprise to some adults who consider these teens to be bad, according to Gordon-Larsen．Skateboarding is forbidden in many public areas, and some communities oppose building skating parks．But if kids who like to skate have nowhere to do it, "it's a shame," said Gordon-Larsen．
Not only should parents encourage their kids to engage iii the physical activities they enjoy, she said, but schools and communities should also do more to create opportunities for children to be active．
【小題1】From the passage we know that .
| A．physically active kids get into less trouble |
| B．more skating parks are being built |
| C．kids who spend hours watching TV benefit a lot |
| D．kids who have nowhere to skate tend to take drugs |
| A．get into the habit of smoking or drinking |
| B．develop teamwork spirit |
| C．have risky behaviors |
| D．fail in the schoolwork |
| A．offer some information to teachers and parents |
| B．persuade kids not to watch a lot of TV |
| C．urge the public to help children be active |
| D．show the author's concern about children's growth |
| A．Some adults don't understand the sports． |
| B．Some adults are impatient with kids． |
| C．Adults consider it dangerous to go skating or skateboarding. |
| D．Some adults think them related to bad behaviors. |
| A．kids are not expected to be active by some parents |
| B．professor Penny is a famous writer and journalist |
| C．skateboarding is popular in schools and communities |
| D．kids are not encouraged to join the football team |

Empathy
【1】Last year,researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy,the ability to understand other people，among college students had dropped sharply over the past 1 0 years．That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time，the researchers said．Today,people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs．
【2】Jennifer Freed，a co—director of a teen program，has another explanation．Turn on the TV,and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting，competing，and generally treating one another with no respect. Humans learn by example-and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic．
【3】There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples．Humans are socially related by nature．Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human-and having empathy is decisive to those relationships．Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect．Besides，empathy can be a cure for loneliness，sadness，anxiety,and fear．
【4】Empathy is also an indication of a good leader．In fact,Freed says，many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things that they look for in new managers．Good social skills-including emoathy-are essential abilities that will help you succeed in many areas of life．"Academics are important．But if you don’t have emotional intelligence，you won’t be as successful in work or in your love life，”she says．
【5】____?For starters，let down your guard and really listen to others．“One doesn’t develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking，”Freed says．
【6】To really develop empathy, you’d better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital，join a club or a team that has a diverse membership，have a“sharing circle’’with your family,or spend time caring for pets at all animal shelter．
1.According to the passage, what happened to the college students?（no more than 15 words）

At one time, computers were expected largely to remove the need for copies of documents because they could be stored electronically. But for all the texts that are written, stored and sent electronically, a lot of them are still ending up on paper.
It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of use of Internet-connected computers, although just about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when e-mail is introduced, the printers start working overtime. “I feel in my bones this revolution is causing more trees to be cut down,” says Ted Smith of the Earth Village Organization.
Perhaps the best sign of how computer and Internet use pushes up demand for paper comes from the high-tech industry itself, which sees printing as one of its most promising new markets. Several Internet companies have been set up to help small businesses print quality documents from a computer. Earlier this week Hewlett-Packard Co. announced a plan to develop new technologies that will enable people to print even more so they can get a hard copy of a business document, a medical record or just a one-line e-mail, even if they are nowhere near a computer. As the company sees it, the more use of the Internet the greater demand for printers.
Does all this mean environmental concerns (環境問題) have been forgotten? Some activists suggest people have been led to believe that a lot of dangers to the environment have gone away. “I guess people believe that the problem is taken care of, because of recycling (回收利用),”said Kelly Quirke, director of the Rainforest Action Network in San Francisco. Yet Quirke is hopeful that high-tech may also prove helpful. He says printers that print on both sides are growing in popularity. The action group has also found acceptable paper made from materials other than wood, such as agricultural waste.
1．The growing demand for paper in recent years is largely due to .
A．the rapid development of small businesses
B．the opening up of new markets
C．the printing of high quality copies
D．the increased use of the Internet
2．Environmentalists believe more one possible way of dealing with the paper situation is .
A．to encourage printing more quality documents
B．to develop new printers using recycled paper
C．to find new materials for making paper
D．to plant more fast-growing paper
3．Hewlett-Packard Co. has decided to develop new technologies because .
A．people are concerned about the environment
B．printers in many offices are working overtime
C．small companies need more hard copies
D．they see a growing market for printers
4．What would be the best title for the text?
A．Computers and Printers B．E-mail and the Business World
C．Internet Revolution and Environment D．Modern Technology and New Markets
