They’re WILD animals

By Ernst-Ulrich Franzen

March 11, 2010 (3) Comments

The story about the woman who lost some fingers while feeding a bear at a zoo in Manitowoc, after she ignored warnings and barriers(柵欄), reminded me of the story I heard about a couple who put their baby on the back of a wild horse in South Dakota to get a really cute picture. We all do silly things at times — no one is immune — but treating wild animals as lovely pets has to fall into a special category. Teddy bears and Disney movies aren’t actually representative of real bears.

Don’t you think that maybe, just maybe some alcohol was involved?

2. tk421 - Mar 11, 2010 11:09 AM

It was already approved that alcohol was involved. Stories that begin with a drunk person saying “Hey, I got an idea, watch this!” rarely end well.

3. Tristan Kloss - Mar 11, 2010 11:41 AM

Alcohol certainly isn’t involved when people decide to keep “pets” like chimpanzees, baby tigers, etc. Stupidity, definitely. Dogs are pets because of thousands of years of domestication. Even farm animals, which have been kept by humans for thousands of years as well, aren’t let in the house. So why keep animals that treat human contact with, at best, indifference(冷淡、不在乎) and, at worst, violence?

1.In Ernst-Ulrich Franzen’s opinion, the woman lost her fingers because ________.

A. the zoo keepers didn’t warn her of the danger

B. she didn’t know the bear was a wild animal

C. she was somehow influenced by cartoon characters

D. she climbed over the barriers and angered the bear

2.TosaLeft thinks the wounded woman ________.

A. may have been drunk

B. may be a little stupid

C. was addicted to wine

D. fed wine to the bear

3.tk421 means a drunk person ________.

A. should be forbidden to enter the zoo

B. usually gets himself into trouble

C. is often fond of making up stories

D. usually likes to show himself off

4.What does Tristan Kloss think of people treating wild animals as pets?

Some years ago, on a hot summer day in south Florida, a little boy decided to go for a swim in the cold swimming hole behind his house.

In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he did not realize an alligator（短吻鱷）was swimming towards the shore. His mother in the house, looking out of the window, saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In fear, she ran towards the water, yelling to the son as loudly as she could.

It was too late. The alligator reached him.

From the dock, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator got his legs. That began an incredible tug of war（拔河）between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother would not let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard her screams, ran from his truck, and shot the alligator.

Amazingly, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His leg were extremely scarred by the animal’s attack, and on his arms were scratches (抓痕) from mothers’ fingernails where she had tried to hang on to the son she loved.

The newspaper reporter who interviewed the boy asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his pant legs . And then, he proudly said to the reporter: “But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mom would not let go.”

You and I can identify with (理解) that little boy. We have scars, too. No, not from alligator, or anything quite so dramatic . But the scars of a painful past. Some of those scares are ugly and have caused us deep regret.

But some wounds, my friend, are because someone has refused to let go. In your struggle, maybe someone has been there holding on to you.

1.Upon seeing the alligator getting close to her boy, the mother ________ .

A. dived into the cool water at once

B. was too afraid to move

C. shouted a warning to her boy

D. got ready to fight the crocodile

2.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?

A. There were scars on the boy’s arms and legs.

B. The mother won the “match” because of her strength.

C. A farmer scared the alligator away by hitting it in the eyes.

D. A crocodile attacked the boy when he and his mother were swimming.

3.By saying, “But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too,” the boy really wanted to show ___________.

A. how deep the scars were

B. what a brave boy he was

C. how recently he had survived an attack

D. how great his mother was

4.According to the author, how are we all similar to the boy in the story?

A. We can be brave and never let go of our loved ones.

B. We may be faced with danger in our lives.

In this information age, there are plenty of mindless activities to keep a child busy. Yet despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Alice wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition which she won last year.

As a writer, I know about winning contests---and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection letter from the publisher. I also know the pressure of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories. What if she doesn’t win the contest again? That’s the strange thing about being a parent. So many of our own past scars and destroyed hopes can resurface in our children.

A revelation(啟示) came last week when I asked her, “Don’t you want to win again?” “No,” she replied, “I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.”

I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously(自發(fā)地)told them. Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales. The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly “guided” by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it.

Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting my daughter’s experience.

While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help if asked. All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices.

1. What do we know about the author’s own writing experience?

A. She was constantly under pressure to write more.

B. Her road to success was full of pain and frustrations.

C. Most of her stories had been rejected by publishers.

D. She did not quite live up to her reputation as a writer.

2. Why did Alice want to enter this year’s writing contest?

A. She wanted to share her stories with readers.

B. She had won a prize in the previous contest.

C. She believed she possessed real talent for writing.

D. She was sure of winning with her mother’s help.

3.The underlined sentence probably means that the author was .

A. trying not to let her daughter enjoy her own life

B. helping her daughter develop real skills for writing

C. making sure that her daughter would win the contest

D. trying to get her daughter to do the thing as the author wished

4. What does the writer mean to tell us in the last two paragraphs?

A. Children need more room to develop.

B. Parents should co-opt children’s experience.

C. Children should be provided enough help.

D. Parents need to remind their children of their own choices.

The popularity of farmers’ markets combined with concerns over food security is making the number of school leavers taking agriculture courses increase rapidly, according to a study.

Large numbers of 16- to 18-year-olds are going to study subjects such as agriculture, food and gamekeeping despite having no background in farming. Jeanette Dawson, principal of Bishop Burton College, said women were also taking up courses at an increasing rate.

She said it was related to a series of food scandals (丑聞)such as the discovery of horsemeat in frozen meals stocked by major supermarkets.

But the movement was also promoted by an increased awareness of the importance of local food and produce, she said. The number of students taking courses in “l(fā)and-based subjects” has increased by a quarter in the last 12 months alone – from 5,138 to 6,482.

Mrs. Dawson said there were a lot of young people who weren’t from farming backgrounds. But there had been a growth in the number of them accessing agriculture programes with a view to a career in the industry. She said agriculture was an “applied science, with the great outdoors as its laboratory”. And it was increasingly seen as an attractive job for school leavers.

“I never underestimate (低估) the ability of teenagers to pick up on it. The more it is in the media, the more it interests young people. Whenever I go in my local pub, it has on the blackboard where the sausages (香腸) are from. Everyone is interested in buying local food and knowing where their food is from.

The comments were made as Bishop Burton prepares to expand, with a ￡I3 million project to build a new campus in Lincolnshire. The site – due to open in September 20l5 – will be the college’s second in the county, in addition to one at nearby Riseholme.

1.What is making large numbers of students take agriculture courses?

A. Agriculture is very important to a country.

B. People are increasingly concerned about food security.

C. Many colleges are offering agriculture courses.

D. Agriculture is an applied science.

2.The example of horsemeat in the third paragraph illustrates(證明) the necessity of_________ .

A. protecting animals

B. strengthening food safety

C. protecting the environment

D. forming healthy eating habits

3.What does the writer mainly discuss in the passage?

A. Why the government should strengthen agriculture.

B. How to strengthen food safety.

C. Why agriculture courses are becoming popular among students.

D. How to do well in agriculture courses.
