Water is important to all living things but some areas in the world are short of water a lot.So we should try to protect and save water.
A group of students from Zhejiang University have successfully developed an"air hand﹣washing machine".The machine uses an infrared ray induction system （红外线感应系统），which can feel the presenceof our hands.If it feels there are hands，the water with the air will come from the tap.And it has been proven that it is nearly as effective as traditional hand﹣washing.It uses only ten percent of the water that regular hand﹣washing does.The students have even set up a company to introduce the product to the public.
Li Qizhang，a member of the team that developed the machine，told a reporter that a model of their machine had already been placed in a classroom building at the university and it worked very well.
In 2014，a student called Chen Puyang first thought of the idea while he was washing his hands.Washing one's hands uses a lot of water，Chen thought.Would it be possible to replace the water with air？ Others may not give the question a second thought.However，for Chen and Li，who were studying fluid mechanics （流体力学） at the time，this was considered to be an excellent idea.
Soon，Chen，Li and several classmates started on the project.After a year of research，the team cam up with a gravity﹣driven （重力驱动） hand﹣washing machine successfully.

I know some students think uniforms are ugly and uncomfortable.But maybe we can pick a uniform that everyone likes.I think this is a wonderful idea for our school. Sincerely， Justin Jones |

Many of us stayed at home in January because of COVID﹣19，but a special mom and her two babies took a trip.They were driven a few miles from a breeding center in northeastern Argentina to a 1.7 million﹣acre nature reserve called Gran Ibera Park.There the three jaguars were released into the wild.
Their release was the first reintroduction of jaguars in that part of Argentina since the species（物种）almost died out there 70 years ago.Scientists hope they can turn things around for this important apex predator，meaning one that is on top of the food chain （链）.Only 200 to 300 jaguars remain in the country.
"That is the highest level of protection that can be given in Argentina，"says Sebastian Di Martino.He's the conservation director for Rewilding Argentina，which is one of the organizations helping to restore jaguar populations.
The jaguars' journey started in 2018 when the park was built in the Ibera Wetlands.Several thousand jaguars once lived there，along with other important species.But the jaguars' fur was valuable，so people hunted them.Then farmers cleared the land they lived on.With the jaguars gone，the ecosystem was out of balance.
"In the absence of this species，ecosystems stop working well and may even collapse，" Di Martino says. "The main prey （猎物） of the jaguar is the capybara and the caiman.They are very abundant because of the absence of the jaguar，which causes imbalances in the ecosystem."
The park was the first step to give jaguars a place to live.Then they needed to breed.A female named Mariua mated with a male jaguar from Brazil.Mariua then gave birth to the two baby jaguars.
It sounds simple，but the reality is more complicated.Di Martino said that jaguars born at breeding centers have to learn how to hunt and must not become used to humans.Otherwise，they will not have success in the wild.
The people who work at the breeding center stay out of sight.They use video cameras to watch the jaguars from several miles away."We provide live prey for them，without them realizing it comes from people，" Di Martino said.
Mariua wears a radio collar so researchers can track her and her babies，Karai and Pord. "So far，so good.She's been hunting capybaras and wild pigs and is raising her babies very well，" Di Martino says.
（1）What can we learn about the jaguar？
A.It is found only in Argentina.
B.It is taught to hunt by humans.
C.It is not hunted by any other animal.
D.It is not considered as a rare species.
（2）Which of the following words can best describe Di Martino's job？
A.Exciting.
B.Meaningful.
C.Surprising.
D.Successful.
（3）What does the underlined word "abundant" mean in this passage？
A.More than enough.
B.Less than enough.
C.Getting more powerful.
D.Getting less powerful.
（4）The writer mentioned Mariua .
A.to give an example of jaguars' life
B.to show the importance of female jaguars
C.to introduce a way of training jaguars
D.to explain the method of rewilding jaguars

Dr.Dolittle lived in a small town called Puddleby.Everyone in the town knew him.The dog and children ran after him.
He lived in a small house，but he had a large garden.He kept many animals in his garden.His favorite animals were Dab﹣Dab，a duck；Jip，a dog；Gub﹣Gub，a baby pig and Polynesia，a parrot.He also kept some fish，rabbits，cats，a squirrel，a cow and a baby cow，a horse，chickens and so on.
Dr.Dolittle didn't have many patients.Most people didn't like all of his animals，so when they were ill，they went to a doctor in another town.
"But you don't have any money， "his sister told him. "You need patients."
"I have a patient， " Dr.Dolittle answered， "The cat's﹣meat﹣man.He's the man who sells me meat for the cat."
"He doesn't pay you enough to live on， " his sister told him.
"Then I'll sell everything I have，" he said.
And he did.He sold most of his furniture.He also sold most of his clothes.Then he had enough money to buy food for himself and his animals.
One day，the cat's﹣meat﹣man said to him，" Why don't you stop being a doctor for people and become a doctor for animals instead？I'm sure that you know a lot about animals — more than most vets.You wrote a wonderful book about cats.I'd send all the people with sick dogs or cats to you."
When the cat's﹣meat﹣man left，Polynesia，the parrot，flew onto the table. "He's right，Doctor，" Polynesia said. "You should become an animal doctor."
"There are a lot of vets，" Dr，Dolittle said.
"Perhaps there are a lot of vets.But you'd be the best vet of all.I'm not the only animal that can talk.All the animals can talk.Each kind of animal has its own language.I'll teach you mine if you like."
"Yes，please，" Dr.Dolittle said.He opened a drawer （抽屉） and took out a notebook and pencil. "Will you teach me the parrot's ABCs first？" he asked.
Polynesia agreed to teach Dr.Dolittle parrot language.Later that day，Jip came into the room.Polynesia said， "He's talking to you，Doctor."
"I don't think he is，" Dr.Dolittle said. "He's just cratching（挠） himself."
"Dogs talk with their ears，their noses，and their tails，" Polynesia told him.They don't always make a noise.Do you see how he is moving his nose now？"
"Yes."
"He is telling us that it has stopped raining，and he wants to ask you a question."
Every day，Dr.Dolittle learned the languages of the animals.When people found out he was now an animal doctor，they brought their sick pets to him.
One day，a horse said to him， " You're a much better animal doctor than the vet.You knew I couldn't see well，and you made glasses for me."
The horse was very pleased.He could see very well.He told all his friends how clever Dr.Dolittle was，and they told all their friends.Soon，many animals came to see him.He had a different door for each animal，and he wrote the name of each kind of animal above each door.HORSES，COWS，...
Before long，every animal that lived in or near the town became the doctor's patient.He was very happy，and he liked his life very much.
