AWith the Chin ese Ian guage grow ing in popularity, the UK gover nment pla ns to in vest（投资）10 million pounds to help more kids learn Mandarin（普通话）.

Even after the babies are born, they stay in side the bag un til they are ready to live by themselves.Darwin ' s rheas : Thought your dad was overprotective? Darwin ' s rheas, also known as South America n ostriches （ 鸵鸟）,are so protective of their childre n that they have even bee n known to attack small airplanes on the ground if they get too close to their home! Marmosets: These little mon keys do everyth ingbut give lectures on how to give birth! Devoteddads assist during their babies ' birth. They also let Mom get some rest by taking care of the kids when she' s not nursing them.Sand grouse : These pigeon-like birds live in areas where water is rare, so fathers fly asmany as 50 miles to get water for their kids. After they dip their breast feathers in the water, they fly home and let their chicks suck trhe water from their bodies.Fathers in the ani mal kin gdom are not that differe nt from our own beloved dads.

An astr on aut? What do you n eed todo to achieve your dream job? Perhaps you think that study ing well and the n going on to work hard will get you successful career you want. We are con sta ntly taughtIt ' s been just over a year since 9-year-old Zion Harvey received a double-hand transplant （ 移植）,and now, what he really wants to do is playing football.“ I feel happyabout my new han ds, and I don ' t feel differe nt. I like that now I can throw a football further tha n whe n I did n' t have han ds, ” he said.The nation ' s youngest hand-transplant patient has been working hard to learn how touse his new han ds. He lost his hands and his feet 7 years ago after sufferi ng from a serious infection. In August, the boy showed off his new abilities by throw ing out the first ball at a baseball game. Dr. Scott Levin, team l eader of Zion ' s operation, said Zion was faced with the operation much braver than many adults. “ I ' ve never seen Zion cry, ” Levin said."He' s just an amaz ing boy. He has such courage and determ in ati on and gives us all■ ■ g ■ ” in spirati on.Zion said his courage came from the two most amazing people: his mom and his grandma. His mother, Pattie Ray, said,"It ' s been a long journey but now I feel like I am livingin my dream. It ' s his dream, and it ' s mine, too. I ' m just living through him, and I just here to support him in any way and help him do whatever he wants to do. ”However , Zion told reporters his mom wouldn't let him try out for football. His momsaid it ' s too dangerous. She also pointed out that he might be playing against little kids,not professionals,and she told him they would discuss it later. Zion tried to counter herargume nt. “ My next goal: convince Mom to let me play football, ” he said.7. What is Zion ' s attitude towards his tran spla nted han ds?A. He likes them a lotB. He tries to ignore themC. He accepts them un willi nglyD. He has mixed feeli ngs about them.8. What did Dr. Scott Lev in thi nk of Zio n? A. He was unu sually quiet. B. He was well worth praisi ng. C. He was cleverer tha n expected.D. He was a tale nted football player.9. Which of the following words can best describe Pattie Ray? A. Sen sitive and strict. B. Devoted and supportiveC. Optimistic and activeD. Open-min ded and outgo ing.10. What does the un derl ined word "counter ” in the last paragraph mean? A. acceptB. proveC. be aga instD. comme ntthat our hard work will even tually pay off.But a gover nment survey has show n that hard work is not the only thing that will helpyou to move up the ladder. Two thirds of people believe that who you know matters more than what you know whe n it comes to social activity. So are the connections that you have more importa nt tha n your educati on?76% of the people in the survey believed that family background is important in in flue ncing your cha nces of success. They believe that if you are privileged from birth, you are more likely to have a successful career, especially if your family is wealthy.Even if you don ' t have a privileged background, the people you know can still makea differe nee to your career. Network ing is a skill which is en couraged by many careeradvisers. Some companies run networking workshops to try and encourage staff to meet otherpeople, to com muni cate and build relati on ships. It ' s a valuable skill.But the survey also showed someth ing quite in terest ing. Although most people believed that n etworks are more importa nt tha n educati on, many people put their own career successdow n to tale nt, rather tha n backgro und. 41%of the people said that their pare nts ' in come had in flue need their life, but at the sametime, ano ther 41%believed that they had achieved their own success.So which is more importa nt, what you know or who you know? It seems that by work inghard and making lots of connections, the answer may be that both are very important.11. Which of the follow ing is closet i n meaning to the un derl ined part?A. Practice makes perfectB. Nothi ng is impossibleC. Hope for the bestD. No pains, no gains12. According to the government survey , the most important factor to help people move upthe ladderis ________ .A. hard workB. educati onC. social relatio nshipD. social activity13. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. 76% of the people think social relationship is most important.B. 41% of the people believe pare nts ' in come is most importa nt.C. 76% of the people think family backgro und ranks first.D. 41% of the people believe they gained their own success.14.

AAuckland University Online Education — What to ExpectMost Auckland University（AU）online programs are 100 percent online so that students do not come to the school campus. Instead, AU has designed a media-rich, easy-to-use learning environment through a Learning Management System（LMS）.• DisciplineWith disciplined work habits, you are likely to succeed as an online student. It is up to you to log on to your course and meet your own deadlines.• Time ManagementIn order to earn competitive grades, plan on spending a minimum of 20-25 hours a week on each course. AU courses operate on a seven-week schedule, with start dates in January, March, May, July, September and November. Students are able to complete two courses per semester by taking one seven-week course at a time.• Professional ConnectionsMany of the AU faculty who teach online have connections to industry, so the online learning environment ensures access to diverse expertise and practice. It includes an extensive network of professionals in a variety of industries.“I work as an IT manager. And right from the very beginning, every class I took was relevant to what I was doing at work. The wide range of courses gave me a strong foundation for my career development.”—Jim Heilman, Computer Information Systems graduate• TechnologyIt goes without saying that technology plays a vital role in online learning. You will need a high-speed Internet connection and basic computer skills. For specifics, please click here to visit our Technology page.1．How long does it take to complete one course?A．Seven weeks.B．One semester.C．Several months.D．At least 20-25 hours.2．What is the purpose of mentioning Jim Heilman?A．To recognize an excellent graduate.B．To set a good example to other learners.C．To prove benefits of professional connections.D．To show effective methods of online learning.3．Where is the text probably taken from?A．A course brochure.B．A college website.C．An academic magazine.D．A local newspaper.BOne of the most important things that has happened to me occurred long before I was aware of it. As the story goes, I was three days old and Mom was singing “The Name Game” song to me: “Christine-Bo-Bean-Banana-Fanna-Fo-Feen.” By day four, I was given a new name — Christine-Bo-Bean, or just Bo-Bean to my mother. Now, I am Bo to her and close friends.Why is this nickname so important to me? I once read a book with a passage about True Names whichexplains that when a person’s true name is spoken, she has a distinct aura (光环) around her. Although I have been Bo to my mother all my life, I recently discovered that my true name is not on my birth certificate; it’s the name that is as unique and memorable as I am.People usually know me as Christine. They still see me as a quiet, bookish child. They don’t know who I am now. My most recent hopes, fears, goals, dreams and opinions escape their notice; it is easier to think of me as I was. In their minds, they have a box labeled “Christine” in which I fit neatly, and as Christine, I was content with the perfect packaging.Those who call me Bo or Bo-Bean really know me. They remember who I was and realize I have changed. Bo is a tight squeeze in the old “Christine” boxes. The Bo I am is ever-changing, ever-growing and ever-learning.When I was Christine, I was quiet, and easily scared. I feared groups, meeting new people and sharing my opinions. I was more comfortable with a book than my best friend. As Christine, I thought everyone was better than I was.As Bo, I still love my books, but I want to discuss them. As Bo, my dream is to live where I can experience new things and meet new people. I dream about being alone on a stage lit by a single spotlight; I have that confidence now. I am equal to those I once saw as better than me.A name shouldn’t make such a difference, but sometimes, when a person finds his or her True Name, they develop a new shine visible to friends, family and especially themselves.I can’t always be Bo. Sometimes exposing myself is still scary and I feel too nervous; I want to hide in those old boxes. Mostly, however, I am ready for the world. So, just call me Bo.4．When was the author given a nickname?A．When she was three years old.B．On the fourth day after she was born.C．On the arrival of some close friends.D．When mom first sang “ The Name Game”.5．What do the people know about the author as Christine?A．They think the author is active and crazy.B．They care about the author’s most recent feelings.C．They don’t realize the author has changed.D．They don’t know the author has a new name.6．What kind of person was the author in the past?A．She showed no interest in reading.B．She took pleasure in finding new things.C．She loved reading and sharing books with friends.D．She lacked confidence and preferred to be alone.7．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Bo — the True NameB．A Unique NameC．Remember the PastD．The Meaning of NicknameCIf you’ve spent any amount of time boating, fishing, or bird-watching at lakes and rivers, you have most likely seen fishes jumping out of the water. I have seen it many times. Certainly, fishes will exit water in desperate attempts to escape enemies. Dolphins take advantage of the behavior, forming a circle and catching the frightened fishes in midair. But just as we may run fast from fun or from fear, different emotions might motivate fishes to jump.Mobula rays (蝠鲼) aren’t motivated by fear when they throw their impressive bodies — up to a seventeen-foot wingspan (the distance from the end of one wing to the end of the other) and a ton in weight — skyward in leap of up to ten feet. They do it in schools of hundreds. They usually land on their bellies, but sometimes they land on their backs. Some scientists think it might be a way of removing parasites (寄生虫). But I think that the rays are enjoying themselves.In the clear waters of Florida’s Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge, I watched several schools of fifty or more mullets（鲻鱼）moving in beautiful formation. Their well-built bodies were most evident when they leaped from the water. Most of the time I saw one or two leaps by a fish, but one made a series of seven. They usually land on their sides. Each jump was about a foot clear of the water and two to three feet in length.Nobody knows for sure why the fish leaps. One idea is that they do it to take in oxygen. The idea is supported by the fact that mullets leap more when the water is lower in oxygen, but is challenged by thelikelihood that jumping costs more energy than is gained by breathing air. It is hard to imagine they will feel any fresher when back in water.Might these fishes also be leaping for fun? There is some new evidence. Gordon M. Burghardt recently published accounts of a dozen types of fishes leaping repeatedly, sometimes over floating objects — sticks, plants, sunning turtle — for no clear reason other than entertainment.8．What can we say about the dolphins in Paragraph 1?A．They have great escaping skills.B．They are easily frightened.C．They are very clever.D．They love jumping.9．What do the ray and the mullet have in common when jumping?A．Both do it in groups.B．Both land on their bellies.C．Both jump many feet out of water.D．Both make leaps one after the other.10．What’s the author’s attitude towards the idea mentioned in Paragraph 4?A．Anxious.B．Indifferent.C．Approving.D．Questionable.11．Why do fishes leap according to Gordon?A．To remove parasites.B．To amuse themselves.C．To take in more oxygen.D．To escape enemies.DAn advance in electronic publishing could make the ebook you are reading seem as dated as a silent film. Publishers hope to explore the growing success of ebooks by releasing versions with added soundtracks and musical accompaniments.The noises in the first multimedia books released in Britain on Friday include rain hitting a window in a Sherlock Holmes tale. When the plot of a book reaches the most exciting part, background scores willcreate tension. In America, works by Shakespeare and Jane Austen have already been released with music and background noise so that, for example, readers can hear tea cups clinking in Mr. Darcy’s garden as they read Pride and Prejudice.Supporters argue that sound effects are the next logical development for ebooks and will add excitement for younger readers. Critics, however, will argue that the noise will ruin the simple pleasure of having the imagination stimulated by reading.Caroline Michel, chief executive of the literary agency, said the new generation of computer-literate readers was used to multiple sensory input. She said, “Young people have split computer screens where they may be watching television and replying to an email at the same time. If that’s what the market wants then we should respond to the market.”Booktrack’s sound effects work by estimating the user’s reading speed. Each time you “turn” a page, the software reassesses where you have reached in the text and times the sounds to switch on accordingly. If the soundtrack becomes out of synch (同步), a click on any word will reset it.Some authors fear that a soundtrack could destroy the peace and quiet of libraries and ruin the pleasure of reading. David Nicholls, author of One Day, the bestseller now released as a film, said, “This sounds like the opposite of reading.
