| United Nations warn animals important to agriculture are dying out forever. The UN Environment Program and Food and Agriculture Organization showed us a report. The findings are based on the information collected in 170 nations during the past ten years. FAO officials say the world has lost about one thousand kinds of farm animals in the past one hundred years, and that 1/3 of them are at risk of disappearing. FAO officials are concerned about farmers producing enough to feed the world' s population. FAO has got the information about over 4,000 kinds of birds and animals population. 740 of those breeds no longer exist. 1,300 others are said to be endangered or at high risk of extinction. Many of them are important than animals. For example, in Madagascar, Renitelo cattle have almost disappeared. In the Philippines, the Banaba chicken is now rare. Fewer than 1,000 of the birds remain. In Mexico, the Chiapas sheep are at the export (出口 ) of animals from industrial to developing countries. The report says animals from industrial nations are often considered more productive in developing countries. However, the animals are best for the environment of areas they are from. Now the UN is starting a five-year project to help countries better understand the issue. |

| When humans and nature go head to head, nature often ends up losing. Rivers get polluted. Trees are knocked down. Natural resources are exhausted. That's what makes the Galapagos Islands so special-it's one of the few pristine (原始状态的) places on Earth that nature can truly call its own. For people used to having wild animals run at the scent of humans, a visit to the Calapagos is a real eye-opening experience. Over 1,600 kms west of Ecuador (厄瓜多尔) ,the islands are home to a unique variety of animals that have absolutely no fear of people. Visitors can play on the beach with sea lions and giant sea turtles, swim with dolphins and whales, and get close enough to the penguins to count the eggs in their nests. The islands were declared a national park over 40 years ago, and the number of human visitors is tightly limited to avoid damaging the environment or putting stress on the animals. Tourists have to pay a $100 daily visitors fee,a nd can't step off the boat unless accompanied (陪同 ) by an official guide. Once on the islands, you have to stay on the trail, but that rarely presents a problem: the animals are so curious about people that they'll usually come up to say hello. "It's a little like being in a zoo," said one traveler." But instead of us looking at the animals, the animals are looking at us. Aside from the wildlife, one of the islands' more unusual features is its post office. You can send postcards for free, but the catch is that there's no postman to collect them. Instead, travelers pick up mail addressed to people who live near them back home, and then hand-deliver the postcards when their trip is finished. |
| 1. The Galapagos Islands are _____. |
| A. terribly polluted B. near Ecuador C. in the Atlantic Ocean D. independent of Ecuador |
| 2. Which animal is NOT mentioned in the passage? |
| A. Whales. B. Sea lions. C. Goats. D. Dolphins. |
| 3. On the Galapagos Islands the mail is delivered by____. |
| A. the government B. the post office C. the tourists D. the guides |
| 4. What would be the best title for the passage? |
| A. The Anti-Zoo B. Humans and Nature C. Go Head to Head D. Ecuador-An Island Country |

| Whatever our differences as human beings are we all think we're more like the rest of the animal world than we realize. It is said that we share 40 percent of our genetic (遗传的) structure with the simple worm. But that fact has helped Sir John Sulston win the 2002 Nobel Prize for Medicine. Sir John is the founder of the Sanger Institute in Cambridge, which was set up in 1992 to get further understanding of the human genome (染色体组). To help them do this, they turned to the worm. The nematode (线虫类的) worm is one of the earliest creatures on planet earth. It is less than one millimeter long, completely transparent and spends its entire life digging holes through sand. But it still has lots to say about human life, and what can be done to make it better. What the worm told Sir John and his colleagues was that each of the cells in the human body is programmed like a computer. They grow, develop and die according to a set of instructions that are coded in our genetic make-up. Many of the diseases that humans suffer from happen when these instructions go wrong or are not obeyed. When the cell refuses to die but carries on growing instead, this leads to cancer. Heart attacks and diseases like AIDS cause more cell deaths than normal, increasing the damage they do to the body. Sir John was the first scientist to prove the existence of programmed cell death. |
| 1. Sir John Sulston got a Nobel Prize for Medicine because he has _____ . |
| A. found that human beings are similar to the worm B. got the fact we share 40 percent of our genetic structure with the simple worm C. found the computer which controls each of the cells in the human body D. proved that cell death is programmed |
| 2. People might be seriously ill if the cells in their body _____. |
| A. grow without being instructed B. die regularly C. fail to follow people's instructions D. develop in the human body |
| 3. The underlined word " they" in Paragraph 5 refers to _____. |
| A. cell deaths B. diseases C. instructions D. cells |
| 4. What is the subject discussed in the text? |
| A. The theory of programmed cell deaths. B. A great scientist-Sir John Sulston. C. The programmed human life. D. Dangerous diseases. |

| Searching for the Truth Collecting and writing news is like researching in history: the best information comes from those who were there at the time. So if we want to study the history of China in the sixth century AD, we look at the writings of the people who lived then. They are called the primary sources because they tell us what it was like to live then. People at a much later date who write about the same events are called the secondary sources. For example, when we read the original writings of Jia Sixie on agriculture, we are reading a primary source; when we read about Jia Sixie in our textbook we are reading a secondary source because the passage was written about him and his ideas many years after he died. When we make news we use primary and secondary sources. We can see this most clearly in TV programmes. As we watch the news on TV, the person presenting the programme in the studio is the secondary source ( because he tells us about the news) and the reporter in Iraq or Washington is the primary source ( because he is telling us about what is actually happening there). Without these reporters acting as primary sources, you would never find out what really happened in a war, earthquake, sports meeting, concert or festival. These reporters explain what is happening so we have a clearer idea of what is going on there. They often take photographers with them who act as primary source by giving pictures of events. In a newspaper the position is different because these two roles are often combined. This means a reporter who investigates a story may be the same person who writes it. If this happens, the reporter is both the primary and the secondary source. But the photographer who works with him/her is still a primary source. One of the reasons that it is important to separate primary and secondary sources is that they help us to decide what is a fact and what is an opinion. A fact is something that everybody agrees has happened. An opinion is somebody's idea of what happened. So facts and opinions are often mixed in any report, whether in a newspaper or on TV. What have you learnt from the above passage?
