Mr. Johnson is a hardworked teacher. Every day, he spends too much time for his work. With little sleep and hard any break, he works from morning till night. Hard work have made him very ill. “He has ruined her health. We are worried about him.” That is which other teachers say. Yesterday afternoon, I paid a visit Mr. Johnson. I was eager to seeing him, but outside his room I stopped. I had to calm myself down. Quietly I stepped into the room. I saw him lying in bed, looking at some of the picture we had taken together. I understood that he missed us just as many as we missed him.

I often imagine what my life will be like in the future.

“Who does the cooking in your home?” I’m often asked by my colleagues. “My wife and I share it 50/50,” I usually say without hesitation.

It’s a lie, of course. We’re pretty much even（相等的）when it comes to the children and the elderly. But the paying of bills isn’t 50/50-my wife pays all sorts of household expenses, so I never even have to set eyes on them. And the cooking isn’t 50/50, either.

The truth is that I am the cook. On my recent 40th birthday, I received the following gifts from my children: a new pot, two mini bottles of truffle oil, a decorative salad-dressing pourer, and a juice-making machine. For a moment I longed for something more manly, a cricket bat, perhaps, and then had to admit that all these things would be useful for me.

It’s not that my wife can’t or doesn’t like to cook (she makes delicious Welsh cakes). Nor has it always been this way. In the early years of our marriage I’d be relaxing with a glass of wine while my wife prepared for dinner after work.

But at some point that changed and I became the cook. Ten years with my wife gave me the rewards-I can throw together a roast, and I can make much foreign food. But I have truly become a monster（怪物）in the kitchen, unable to keep myself away from cooking. “You have to add Dijon to the sauce; it brings out the taste of the cheese,” I volunteer, as my wife is cooking. “Quick, stir in the butter so the dish becomes delicious.”

Is it any wonder that my wife has given up coming into the kitchen while I find the whole process of chopping, mixing, and adding things deeply satisfying?

Visiting animals in their natural homes may sound like a great idea that helps to save them, but is it ?

Researchers writing in Trends in Ecology ＆ Evolution on Oct9 said that the interactions between wild animals and friendly eco-tourists who want to take their pictures may put animals at greater risk of being eaten.

It is clear that many people visit protected areas every year. “Recent data showed that protected areas around the globe have 8 billion visitors per year; that’s like each human on Earth visited a protected area once a year, and then some!”said Dainel Blumstein of the University of California, Los Anglels. “This amount of nature tourism and eco-tourism can be added to the long list of ways in which humans cause fast environmental change.

The basic idea of the report the report is that humans change the ways animals act and those changes might affect other parts of their lives, according to Science Daily. Those changes in behavior and activity may put animals at risk.

“When animals spend time in ‘harmless’ ways with humans, they may let down their guard,” Blumstein said. As animals get used to feeling comfortable with humans, they may become braver in other situations, he says . “If this bravery continues when they meet real predators（捕食者）， then they will die more often when they meet them.”

Eco-tourism is in some ways similar to making animals live in human homes or in cities. In all three cases, regular interactions between people and animals tame. Evidence has shown that silver foxes that live with people become more laid-back and less fearful; this results from evolutionary changes but also from spending time with humans. Simply put , as Blumstein asked in the Scientific American magazine:“Does eco-tourism make animals dumb?”

And that’s not all - humans can also scare away natural predators , creating the so-called “human shield effect” and a safe environment for smaller animals that might make them braver, too. When humans are around, for example, vervet monkeys don’t see as many leopards (獵豹) trying to eat them.

Blumstein says they hope to do more research into humans’ interactions with wildlife. Scientists will “now have to understand better how different species and species in different situations react to humans and when humans might put them at risk.

1.The main focus of report in Trends in Ecology ＆ Evolution was the idea that ______.

A. eco-tourism cause damage to the natural homes of wildlife.

B. it is easy for eco-tourists to build up trust with wide animals.

C. the changes brought by eco-tourism may be harmful.

D. protected areas around the world are overloaded with tourists.

2.The underlined word “dumb” in paragraph 6 probably means ________.

A. anxious B. active C. curious D. stupid

3.The author uses vervet monkeys as an example to show that ________.

A. different species react to humans in different ways.

B. the presence of humans reduces the threat from predators

C. smaller animals tend to be braver in front of predators.

D. interactions with humans make animals more relaxed and less fearful.

4.We can infer that the writer wrote this passage mainly to .

A．explain what eco-tourism is

B．tell us something interesting about Nature

C．suggest that we stop eating meat to save animals

D．Wildlife tourism may seem helpful, but it can be deadly for some animals

Some buildings are known 1. their artistic beauty, some for their 2. (detail) design, and others for their architects’ imagination. But a London building has made headlines for none of these reasons.

In its short history, 20 Fenchurch Street has made itself 3. (know) by reflecting（反射）sunlight 4. ( strong ) that it once melted parts of a sports car in the street below.

So 5. is no wonder that the building was named the UK’s 6. ( bad ) building. According to the magazine, the judges, 7. were architects and writers, and agreed that 20 Fenchurch Street 8. (design) by a Uruguayan architect should win the prize.

And the building’s problems 9. end with reflection. Dangerous winds are also blown along the street below. A pedestrian (行人) said to the BBC that she almost got blown over when 10. ( walk ) past the heavy building.

An old gentleman who lives a few doors away from me can always be seen with a bag. He goes out by himself and picks up plastic bottles, plastic bags and pieces of paper everywhere. He does it all carefully and never complains.

The children in the nearby school are probably responsible for some of that litter（廢棄物）. “There will come a time when they know better ,” he said . “ It’s just not yet . So, I’ll do it for them.”

Well, this morning I was out walking my neighbor’s dog when I saw another neighbor, a much younger man , out doing the same thing ! He had his two little sons with him and they were having good fun trying to pick up the litter.

When I commented（評論）on what a good job he was doing, he said , “ Well , an older fellow in our street does this . And my friend and I thought it wasn’t fair that he had to do it all the time , so now we take turns .”

Not only was he taking a turn , not only did he have a friend join in as well , but he was passing on the lesson to the next generation（代）！

By the time I had returned the dog to my neighbor I looked again and his children’ s friends had joined in !

This man was teaching a whole group of young children to keep their own street sanitary. An older man had set an example for him and now he was passing it on — the next generation is doing what he did and the generation to come after that !

You may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABC? You may like eating bananas. But did you know there is such a thing as a “banana person”? How strange! Are these people from “another earth”? No. They are just Chinese people like you and me.

ABC means American-born Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a “banana person”. A banana is yellow outside and white inside. So, when a person is a banana, he or she is white inside—thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside—looking like a Chinese.

Do you know why? Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them don’t speak Chinese. Also, they are not interested in Chinese politics.

But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are Chinese. They are overseas Chinese. These people may be citizens(公民) of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore. But they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair. But they are not Chinese citizens. They are not people of the People’s Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist C. N. Yang (楊振寧). He got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957. And he is an American citizen.
