| There are literally hundreds of national parks and wildlife areas in Africa that you can travel to. Here are the top four travel destinations in Africa: Tanzania-Serengeti NP During the annual migration, when the wildebeests and zebras pack__up and leave their living areas to find fresher ones, the Serengeti is an astonishing place to be. It's a very good travel spot in Africa at other times of the year too but the migration has been ranked by many as one of the wonders of the natural world. Kenya-Masai Mara NP If you want to see the big cats, this wildlife park is the best of the best. Lion, leopard and cheetah abound and they are relatively easy to spot because of the grassland vegetation which means you get good views for miles around. Another big plus is the fact that going offroad is allowed and it is a big advantage because the animals will rarely oblige you and stay next to the major roads. South Africa-Kruger National Park For the variety of species no other place in Africa can come close to the Kruger Park. And because it is so large it has a number of different ecosystems that you can pass through in your search for animals and birds. It is one of the best managed parks in Africa and the accommodation is wellequipped, too. Zambia-South Luangwa National Park South Luangwa is a diamond in the rough, just waiting for enough exposure to bring it to its rightful place in the crown of prime Africa trips. It has been regarded as one of the best places in Africa to see the special leopard and it is the birthplace of the walking travel. |
| 1. The underlined phrase "pack up" in Paragraph 2 means ________. |
| A. rise B. suffer C. gather D. scatter |
| 2. Kruger National Park is different from the other parks in that ________. |
| A. there are many kinds of species B. there are a lot of high trees C. it is the largest park in Africa D. the hotels own enough rooms |
| 3. People like South Luangwa National Park because ________. |
| A. there is a diamond in the park B. it is the best park in Africa C. they can see wildlife on foot D. it is the best wonder in the world |

| Living in a green area can make you live longer, according to the research published today. The research also shows that the difference in life expectancy (平均寿命) between rich and poor becomes smaller among those who live in an environment with parks and trees. Richard Mitchell, from Glasgow University, and his colleagues, found that the gap between the number of deaths of people on high incomes and the number of deaths of those on low incomes in green areas was half that compared with figures relating to builtup areas. Green spaces, classified by the researchers as "open, undeveloped land with natural vegetation", encouraged people to walk and be more active. Exercise in these settings could have greater benefits than exercise elsewhere, the researchers said. The benefits potentially go beyond exercise. Studies have shown that being around green spaces can reduce blood pressure and stress levels, and possibly help patients recover faster. A number of researchers have looked at the effects of greenery on our wellbeing. But few studies had looked at whether living in green areas reduced health inequalities, the Glasgow team said. Using information from a landuse database of 2001, the researchers divided the preretirement population of England into four groups according to income level, and five groups according to access to green space. They then looked at death rate for 2001-2005. They found that the inequality in death rate from all causes relating to lack of money was less in those populations in the greenest areas compared with the figures for people living in more builtup places. They found an even stronger relationship when it came to deaths from certain diseases such as heart conditions and stroke (中风). There was no difference, however, in deaths from lung cancer. The researchers said that changing the physical environment was an easier way to fight against poor health than using media campaigns or giving out information on health. "The result of the study is clear, environments that promote good health might be very important in the fight to reduce health inequalities." |
| 1. The underlined word "that" in Paragraph 2 refers to ________. |
| A. the gap B. the number of deaths C. the income D. the living area |

| A. They offered a scientific definition of "green spaces". B. They encouraged people to exercise in green areas. C. They studied the effects of greenery on people's diseases. D. They focused on the influence of greenery on health inequalities. |
| 3. What advice would the researchers probably give according to the last paragraph? |
| A. More health information should be given to the public. B. People should take more exercise every day. C. More trees and grasses should be planted in cities. D. People should fight against health inequality. |
| 4. What is the main idea of the passage? |
| A. People should live in green areas. B. Green spaces promote good health. C. Income influences health less than environment. D. Exercise in green areas benefits people a lot. |
