| For Senior 3 students, choosing which college to attend can be the most exciting and thrilling time in their entire school lives. This is also true for an American girl named Melanie in the film, College Road Trip, which was released in the US on March 7. Melanie's dad, James Porter, is the chief of police for a Chicago suburb. Incredibly worrying about her daughter's security, he wants Melanie to attend nearby Northwestern University, where she's already been accepted. But Melanie, 17, really wants to go to George-town in Washington, D.C., where she's been wait-listed. When she gets an unexpected interview, she decides to take a road trip with a few close female friends. Melanie believes it is her first step toward adulthood. But despite the fact that this trip is "girls only", James isn't comfortable with the prospect of his little princess exploring the world without him. He wants to protect her. James joins the girls and hopes he can convince her to go to Northwestern. While Melanie's father only has the best of intentions, his presence leads to an endless series of comic encounters (遭遇). After following their faulty GPS device deep into the backwoods, James and Melanie discover her little brother and his pet pig have been hiding in the spare tire compartment. (隔间). What should be a simple tire charge (充气) results in the expensive car rolling down a mountain, forcing them to hike to a nearby hotel. There the pig ruins an outdoor wedding reception after eating an entire bag of coffee beans. All these disasters add spice to their trip while along the way a father and a daughter finally get the chance to really talk to each other. The film explores the parent-child relationship in a comic way: The gap between how close James thinks he is to Melanie and how little he actually knows of her plans makes us laugh first and then think. All parents, whether they have college students or not, can relate to the bittersweet realization that their kids are growing up. Like what Melanie and James have done in the film, we all can find the balance between staying connected and letting go. |

In the 150 years since the publication of Origin of Species, Charles Darwin has been considered between two extremes-a great biologist or heretic (持异端学说者). However, the truth is much more difficult to understand than that. In any case, Darwin's theory of evolution and natural selection had the greatest influence in history. In The Darwin Myth, author Benjamin Wiker offers a full-side analysis of Darwin's theories as well as the social, scientific, and religious effect of his work. Scientists often cause debates (争论) that will last for generations for their new theory. Still, no scientist has caused more debates than Charles Darwin. To some he is the revolutionary "father" of evolution. To others his theory of evolution unconsciously disagrees with many ideas in modern eugenics. (优生学) In The Darwin Myth: The Life and Lies of Charles Darwin, author Benjamin Wiker will make them clear. Contents So who is Charles Darwin? What did he really believe and what did his research really prove? In this book, Benjamin Wiker cuts through the myths. In The Darwin Myth, Wiker tells us: ★How Darwin set out to create a godless Theory of Evolution; ★Why many of his best friends criticized Darwin's theory, and why he never defended himself; ★Why Darwin's theory in a certain way supported slavery, an institution he hated; ★How much of what we know about Darwin comes from his autobiography (自传), which the key points are completely misleading. | |
| 1. If you buy three copies of The Darwin Myth at a time, how much should you pay? | |
|
[ ] | |
| A. $88.35 B. $55.35 C. $50 D. $27.97 | |
| 2. According to the passage, what is The Darwin Myth mainly about? | |
|
[ ] | |
| A. An analysis of Darwin's theory and the debates about him. B. A brief introduction to Darwin's life. C. How Darwin created Theory of Evolution. D. Why many people criticized Darwin's Theory of Evolution. | |
| 3. From the passage, we know that _____. | |
|
[ ] | |
| A. The Darwin Myth is Darwin's autobiography B. The debate about Darwin's theory has been going on since Origin of Species was published C. Darwin theory agrees with modern eugenics D. Darwin himself supported slavery | |
| 4. We can infer from the passage that _____. | |
|
[ ] | |

| It was 3:00 a.m. Rain beat against the windows. Tamsen Bell's cellphone began to ring so she jumped out of bed quickly for she knew that someone was in trouble, and it was up to her and the other members of the Marin Search and Rescue Team to help. The team has a motto: "Any time, any place, any weather." Bell, 18, joined the search-and-rescue team when she was 14 years old, the youngest age at which a person can join."I remember the first search I ever went on," Bell says. "I was very nervous." Thanks to the strict training program, Bell now is no longer nervous and a lot more confident. When Bell was 16 years old, she took a lead role in a tough search-and-rescue action that she says changed her life. While hiking, a 60-year-old woman fell off a cliff and landed on a mountain ledge (岩石架). Bell slid down in a seated position to get to where the injured woman lay. The situation was very dangerous and she had to make a quick decision which could have endangered the woman's life. Bell helped to lift the woman onto a litter (担架), and her teammates then pulled the litter up the mountain using ropes. The rescue took more than eight hours, the longest in the history of the team. Afterwards, Bell said she realized that she could keep cool in stressful situations. The experience inspired her to devote her life to helping others. She remains a search-and-rescue member and plans to study nursing in college. "Search-and-rescue work may be tough, but it is rewarding. The best part is the support, and the common feeling that everyone on the team wants to make people's lives better." Said Bell. |

| Could you stand the noise of a street-sweeping truck going up and down the street outside of your house three times a week at 4 a.m.? The noise-described by Blomberg as "loud as a NASCAR (全国运动汽车竞赛 协会) race car but at a speed of 5 miles per hour-annoyed him so much that he tried to persuade the city to rearrange for street sweeping to begin at 6 a. m. He also founded the non-profit Noise Pollution Clearinghouse, an organization that provides research and information to others whose request for quiet might otherwise fall on deaf ears. Hearing loss is the most obvious medical consequence of noise pollution, but it is hardly the only one, explains environmental psychologist Airline Bronzaft. In her research, Bronzaft found that constant noise exposure can reduce children's learning ability and cognitive (认知的) development."Most importantly, each day, you've got to take a break from sound regularly." says Bronzaft. "The bad news," says Blomberg, "is that the last century was the noisiest in history. The good news," he continues, "is that the greener we get, the quieter we'll also get." Electric cars and lawn equipment make less noise, just as more fuel-efficient vehicles. Improved technology can also provide measures to make the problem less serious. Police cars could replace those loud sirens (警报器) with models that better aim the sound in one direction. "I don't think you can name a noise source that I can't find a way to make it quieter," says Blomberg. But the real challenge is to change people's attitudes." In the 1960s, we made it unacceptable to throw litter out of the window of your car," he says. Today it's time to recognize that"noise is to the soundscape as rubbish is to the landscape." The goal is to "create a culture where you do not throw your 'noise' litter out of the window." |
