     Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side.
     Most people know this joke. But recently, some people have been much more worried about how
the grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road.
     "Millions of animals die each year on U.S. roads," the Federal Highway Administration reports.  In
fact, o nly about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U.S. today. The main reason? Roadkill.
     "Eco-passages" may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths both over
and under roads. "These eco-passages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid road
accidents," said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Protection Society.
     But do animals actually use the eco-passages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona
University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an eco-passage that went under a highway.  This
showed that the lions used the passage.
     Builders of eco-passages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and
around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals like salamanders(火蜥蜴) and grizzly bears are
using the bridges and underpasses.
     The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might
see an animal overpass!

A. wild animals have become more dangerous

2. From the story, we know an eco-passage is ________.  
A. an underground path for cars
B. a fence built for the safety of the area
C. a bridge for animals to get over a river
D. a path for animals to cross the road
3. When the writer says that "animals seem to be catching on"(Para. 6), he means __. 
A. animals begin to realize the dangers on the road 
B. animals begin to learn to use eco-passages
C. animals are crossing the road in groups       
D. animals are increasing in number
4. The writer asks visitors and drivers to look around when traveling because _____.
A. wild animals may attack cars

C. they may see wild animals in the park

     One year ago today, seven patients shared their stories of illness and recovery on the New York Time Well
(a blog), according to a report published in April,2009.
     They were the first Patient Voices, a regular series that offers a first person (第一人稱的) description of
the challenges patients face as they deal with different kinds of health problems. Since the first Patient Voices
appeared, New York Times producer Karen Barrow has continued to give a voice to a lot of patient stories.
     We heard from Jacqueline Castine of Bloomfield Hills, Mich,who had bipolar disorder (躁郁癥), and whose
son also suffered from mental (精神的) illness."I could not save him," she said."I could not fix (懲罰 ) him.
He leaves a beautiful daughter and a very sad mother."
     And there is runner Alyssa Johnson,43,who was training for the Boston Marathon in 2003 when she began
showing the first signs of Parkinson's disease." Sometimes when I'm running I'll come to a long downhill, and
my legs work the way they used to work and my arm swings (擺動(dòng)) the way it used to. It's like running before Parkinson's, and that's the best feeling.
     And then there's the voice of Robin Grinsted, 50, of Swansea, S. C.,who has H. I. V. She is refused by her
church and feels lonely."They're not accepting," she said." But I know there will be people putting their arms
around me some day."
