All over the world,thousands of animals are used for wildlife tourism.People travel to watch monkey shows,hug baby tigers and swim with dolphins.It might look like fun,but there are reports that animals are hurt now and again.

    The World Animal Protection(WAP)says that up to 550,000 wild animals are exposed(暴露)to ill treatment around the world;in Cambodia,for example,it's been reported that elephants have died after carrying tourists for long in hot weather.This is getting attention﹣over 100 travel companies have promised that they will no longer open up such places.However,some people argue that animal tourism isn't always as bad as it seems.So what do you think?

    Group Yes

    ●Animals weren't put on this planet for enjoyment.They should be free to live as they choose.

    ●The way animals are treated is often cruel and causes much pain.Even if treated well,they cannot act in the same way as they would in the wild.

    ●We don't need wildlife tourism.We can see animals close up in their natural home in TV programs.There's no need to disturb(打扰)them in real life.

    Group No

    ●It is enjoyable and educational for people to communicate with the wonderful animals.

    The more people know about them,the more they want to protect them.

    ●Wildlife tourism brings money to poor areas and may be the only way for some people to make a living.

Many Chinese people will wonder what presents to get for their moms on Mother's Day, but not many know Mother's Day is actually a festival from overseas.

    Mother's Day originated(起源) in America during the early 20th century. The festival spread to China as early as the 1980s and was widely accepted.

    Why did a foreign festival become popular in China? In fact, Chinese traditional culture has always encouraged filial(孝顺的)devotion to parents. There are many stories which show filial respect in ancient China. For example, the story of "Taste Liquid(液体的) Medicine for Mother" tells us the filial virtue(美德) of Emperor Wen of the Western Han dynasty. His mother had been sick for three years. He often stayed up by her bedside and cared for her day and night. He tasted the liquid medicine first before she drank it. Also, mother love is a repeated subject in Chinese ancient poems, like "Song of the Parting Son" by Meng Jiao, a poet of the Tang dynasty. Now this poem is still a must in the school textbooks. Children in China are brought up with the education of filial devotion.

    On special days, people often use roses or forget﹣me﹣nots to express love. Carnations are considered as the perfect flowers for mothers around the world, but few know that China has its own for mothers﹣﹣﹣the tiger lily.

    Love for mothers can have different ways of expression. What matters most is love, not the festival itself. What mothers truly want is perhaps just a simple expression of love from their children.

(1)When did Mothers Day spread to China?  

A. In the 1920s.

B. In the 1980s.

C. In the Western Han dynasty.

D. In the Tang dynasty.

(2)What is the poem of "Song of the Parting Son" mainly about?  

A. The filial virtue of Emperor Wen.

B. Caring for the old.

C. Traditional Chinese medicine.

D. A mother's love for her son.

(3)Mother's Day is popular in China mainly because of  

A. its wide spread in many countries

B. our ancient stories of respecting parents

C. our traditional cultural values

D. its simple way of expressing love

(4)What is regarded as the Chinese own flower for a mother?  

(5)What a mother truly wants on Mother's Day may be  

A. a big dinner

B. a celebration party

C. greetings of the festival

D. expensive presents

Birth order﹣﹣﹣does it matter? Are you different because you are the first, second, or third child in your family﹣﹣﹣or maybe the last of nine?

    A study found that first﹣borns have an average(平均的)IQ that is three points higher than people who fall into a different place in the birth order, perhaps because first﹣borns often help younger brothers and sisters, which improves their own skills. In 2007, an international organization of CEOs found that 43% of CEOs are first﹣borns ,33% are middle children, and 23% are last﹣borns. First﹣borns are more likely (可能的)to be doctors and astronauts and get higher pay.

    If first﹣borns are more successful, last﹣borns are generally more agreeable. They are also more likely to be funny, possibly to get attention from all the bigger people at the dinner table. Mark Twain and Stephen Colbert were both the youngest in large families, and Jim Carrey was the youngest of four. According to a 2007 Time magazine article, "The power of Birth Order," last﹣borns are more likely to be artists and successful businessmen.

    Then there are the middle children; we have not ignored(忽视) them! Many middle children are short of one﹣on﹣one time with their parents. They often feel shortchanged: the oldest gets more rights, and the youngest is "spoiled(宠坏的) ".Though they may be ignored, middle children are more likely to grow into easygoing adults.

    Many factors(因素)make us who we are, but if the research is correct, birth order may be one of the most important factors.

(1)Who is most likely to be a CEO?  

A. A first﹣born.

B. A second﹣born.

C. A third﹣born.

D. A last﹣born.

(2)What can we learn about Jim Carrey?  

A. He was likely to be given low pay.

B. He was likely to be agreeable.

C. He was a first﹣born.

D. He was a middle child.

(3)What does the underlined word "short﹣changed" in Paragraph 4 probably mean in Chinese?  

A.受亏待的

B.受控制的

C.受宠爱的

D.受欢迎的

(4)We can learn from the research that birth order  

A. has no influence on IQ

B. matters a lot at the dinner table

C. may decide who we are

D. is a factor in making us powerful

(5)What would be the best title for the text?  

A. Where Is Your Place in the Family?

    Today we can do everything with apps: pay bills, order food and shop for anything.Mobile technology means we can hold the world in our hands, However,when it comes to technology and health care,opportunities and challenges come together.

    Let's start with the ways to get health care.Telemedicine can allow a patient to use technology to see the doctor online and get a diagnosis (诊断) and instructions without leaving home.

    In addition, there are many patient websites. These allow for different kinds of interactions about our health needs without involving the medical team.Setting a date with doctors and reading lab results are readily achieved by technology.

    A whole new age of medical care seems likely (可能的) to come in the future.But every coin has two sides. What might be on the other side of techno﹣health care?

    Firstly, we should think about the health care experience as a whole.A usual visit to a doctor begins with a receptionist (接待员) ,who can see and tell how a patient is doing, This may influence the treatment effect. It's unlikely that a patient website will have such intuition

    Next, sharing the details of one's life requires trust, which takes time to build. This is certainly true in health care, where some of life's best and worst moments involve doctors. The human touch should not be undervalued and is unlikely to be there over the smartphone.

    Lastly, test results can be difficult to understand. When someone without a medical degree sees a flagged result with no explanation on the website, there's room for all kinds of stories to form in their minds﹣and also great worry.

    So how does medicine adapt (适应) to the new technology age? Very talented companies are working on it. There is medical equipment(设备) that can be used at home to send necessary signs and heart sounds through telemedicine.It seems likely that some companies will find a way to explain test results.

    But what it will not achieve is the warmth of human interaction and touch. Patients often need someone to listen to ﹣and care about﹣their journey story, which will never be realized through a human﹣less technology.Technology should be a tool,but depending on it totally will most certainly have unexpected effects. Let's not allow our humanity to be one of them.
