Rowling's creative gifts,it is the craze that has swept through many countries for owning an owl.Many experts suggest that because Harry Potter fans would like to own their own owl,there is a strong chance that owls may soon start to die out.There are over 200 different species of owl.They are nocturnal birds,which means they are awake at night,usually hunting.They have large round eyes that face forwards on their flat faces.Owls also like to be on their own,unless it is the mating season.Indonesia is one of the main countries that are now selling owls to young and old Harry Potter fans.There are many bird markets throughout the country,with the largest being Pramuka in Indonesia's capital city,Jakarta.Birds are Indonesia's most popular pet,with about 20 percent of all homes keeping at least one.It is thought that about 13,000 owls are sold each year in Indonesia's bird markets.They cost between $10 and $30.This is affordable for most families where the parents work.Most of the owls have been taken from the wild and do not live for very long once they have been caught.Not everyone is happy about the situation,including the Harry Potter author,J.K.Rowling.She said,“If anybody has been influenced by my books,to think an owl would be happiest shut in a small cage(笼子) and kept in a house,I would like to take this opportunity to say as forcefully as I can,‘You are wrong!’”【语篇解读】本文是说明文。

课时分层作业(四)Section Ⅰ[高考题型练习提能力]Ⅰ.阅读理解AWhen planning a vacation,many people consider the popular tourist sites they want to visit.But that's not what my husband and I did when we planned our vacation to Japan.We thought about the kind of farm we wanted to visit.Ours was far from a typical (典型的) vacation.We were WWOOFing! WWOOF stands for World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms.The organization connects people interested in organic farming.V olunteers,known as WWOOFers,help their hosts with daily activities.These include everything from baking bread to picking vegetables.Hosts provide volunteers with food and provide a place for them to stay.My husband and I certainly felt like family when our host met us at the train station.She told us to call her Okasan—Mom.Likewise,we called her husband Otosan—Dad.Okasan and Otosan own an organic vegetable farm that tries to provide the local people with fresh,healthy food.When no WWOOFers are around to help,the farm work is done only by Otosan and Okasan.As part of the family,we were able to enjoy the fruits of our labor at every meal.Eating fresh vegetables three times a day combined with six hours of farm work,certainly did our bodies good.We planted vegetables and cleared rocks from fields.We also packed the vegetables so they could be sold at the market.Perhaps the most challenging thing we did was weeding a rice field.It was quite challenging because the leaves and roots of the weeds look very similar to the rice.It's not until both plants are mature (成熟的) that you can clearly tell them apart—only one produces rice.WWOOFing is unlike anything I've ever done before,and I can't wait to do it again!

But does this rule result from born difference between sexes or are they culturally constructed?In 1918 a trade magazine for baby clothes companies said although opinions varied on this subject, there was a generally accepted rule—pink for the boy and blue for the girl,because pink being a more decided and stronger color is more suitable for the boy;while blue which is more delicate and elegant is prettier for the girl.Unluckily,this attempt at setting the rule for sellers and producers clearly did not work. A 1927 chart in Time Magazine contacted department stores in various cities and asked what colors they used for boys and girls. The result was all over the map. It wasn't until after the Second World War that the modern standard started to become popular and even so,it didn't get rooted until the 1980s.As for why today's strict color standard set in at all, a sociologist at the University of Maryland thinks they are basically the outcome of a marketing technique.If salesmen can convince you of following the standard, you will buy a certain product,which makes sense in promoting its sales. Another historian from the same university argues that the rule we use today may reflect the influence of French fashion. Traditional French culture paired pink with girls and blue with boys and because France set the fashion in the 20th century,their tradition ruled the world.So do girls prefer pink and boys prefer blue from birth? It depends on whom you ask. The debate about how we got to the point will probably continue. After all, a century ago a magazine firmly declared the opposite rule.【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。

]BScience fiction writers create imaginary worlds.The waythings work in your imaginary worlds will be based on actualscience.So it's important for you to be familiar with thescientific principles and inventions that are related to yourcreation.For example,if you're writing about human living ona planet with zero gravity,then you need to know the effects of zero gravity on the human body.Then you have to figure out the exact rules of your imaginary worlds.And you have to follow them.If humans are able to breathe underwater in Chapter 1,your character can't drown in a swimming pool in Chapter 3.The issue here is maintaining your readers' trust.That means the reader is willing to pretend along with you.If you start out with an ordinary detective novel and then throw in someone breathing underwater in the 6th chapter,you will pull the readers out of their imagination.The same thing happens if you change the rules halfway.Part of your preparation work for the novel is to map out its worlds in great detail.You should decide the following issues:the history of the world,the geography,what possibilities it offers,how everything works in this new reality,and how all of these factors affect the way your characters think,feel,and react to things.You don't have to tell your readers all the rules in the first chapter.But you have to let readers know enough to understand what's going on.This also allows you to work out logical problems and contradictions (矛盾) before you start writing.When you are writing,remember to make it feel real.You are inviting readers to visit a new world.They will want to be able to see,hear,feel,smell,and even taste what it's like.Whether your novel is about a world without disease or an undiscovered planet,help your readers feel like they're actually there.【语篇解读】很多人对科幻小说充满兴趣,你是否想写科幻小说呢?5.What's the relationship between actual science and science fiction?A.Science fiction promotes the development of actual science.B.Science fiction often reflects the development of actual science.C.Actual science limits the imagination described in science fiction.D.Actual science provides basic principles for science fiction.D[推理判断题。
