A
Fikiri Kiponda’s path from accountant to marine (海洋的) conservationist was sparked by a chance encounter. After securing his dream job, Kiponda decided he wanted more. He wasn’t quite sure what he was looking for until he ran across some turtle hatchlings.
He didn’t know it was turtle. Fortunately enough he got the right person to ask and he got motivated. That person was Nkindi, a staff member at the Watamu Conservation project who later invited him to volunteer on the project. He later left his accounting job and fully devoted himself into the world of sea turtles. Now，he runs and spends his time nursing critically endangered sea turtles back to health.
Sea turtles have been around for nearly 110 million years and are now considered highly endangered. Their preservation rests on activities of conservationists such as Kiponda as these turtles face numerous threats and signs of their extinction in the next 50 years.
Local fishermen traditionally catch them to supplement their own low catch rates and sell them for their oil. As changes are made to accommodate more hotels for tourists, there is less available beach land for turtle nesting.
Kiponda’s passion has now spread to his community, changing their attitude towards sea life preservation with his “by-catch release programme.”
Through this program, fishermen are now paid for returning turtles accidentally caught in their fishing nets. The healthy ones are tagged and released into the marine park while he takes care of sick and injured turtles back to health.
Before the launch of pioneering spirit like this, turtles caught by fishermen were used for their meat and their oil extracted (提炼) for its medicinal properties.
“Releasing the turtle back into the ocean is a very good feeling, like, you feel like you’ve done something concrete and I guess everybody would love to do that...so I guess it’s unique work.”
1、What was Fikiri Kiponda’s dream job according to the text?
A．An accountant.
B．A marine conservationist.
C．A guide to the Watamu Conservation Project.
D．An advocate for turtles.
2、What may be the main threat to the turtles?
A．The rising sea level. B．Being caught by tourists.
C．Overdevelopment in the tourism. D．The reduction in their nesting place.
3、Which of the following words can best describe Fikiri Kiponda?
A．Energetic but conservative. B．Enthusiastic and caring.
C．Arbitrary but considerate. D．Ambitious and knowledgeable.
4、Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．The man saving endangered sea turtles.
B．An unique job of protecting sea turtles.
C．A pioneer project protecting sea animals.
D．The current situation faced by sea turtles.

B
When old people live with children and other relatives the relationship is not always a happy one. Even old parents and adult children who live separately can have difficulties. Here the generation gap becomes most visible as the needs and interests of the middle-aged and old diverge. Some middle-aged children are so annoyed by the demands of their parents that they make such comments as “Why don’t the old fools die?”
Although such ugly comments exist, a survey conducted by the American Association of Retired Persons reflects a positive attitude by American population towards the old. That survey showed that 69% adult children have weekly contact with their mothers and 20% have daily contact with their mothers. Other surveys have shown that 40% of adults have face-to face contact with their parents once a week.
The 2014 National Survey of Family and Household (NSFH) showed that 78% of adults view their relationship with their mother and father as excellent. Only 0.03% of those surveyed viewed that relationship as “bad”. The remainders were ambivalent in their perception of their parents. This finding is confirmed by much older studies of the same phenomenon also conducted by the National Survey of Families and Households.
Of those surveyed, 66% contacted their parents once a week or more and only 10% did not contact their parents at all. In part, this is a product of the distance at which adult children live from their parents. The 2014 survey showed that 67% of adult children live within 100 miles of their parents and that 38% live within ten miles of their parents. However, a full 20% of those surveyed live 1,000 miles or more away from their parents.
1、According to the passage, the relationship between most American old people and their adult children is
______.
A．terrible and distant B．annoying and difficult
C．great and close D．neither good nor bad
2、Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “diverge” in paragraph 1?
A．differ B．meet C．exist D．transfer
3、From the passage, we learn that ______.
A．generation gap becomes invisible if old parents and adult children live separately
B．relationship between parents and children has become much better than before
C．some old parents would rather die because their children are annoyed at them
D．living far away may lead to people’s less or no contact with their parents

After telling friends and family her  16 , Nubia set up a(n)  17 page “Keep Hermela Smiling” on CrowdRise. Her  18 will raise funds for the Fregenet Foundation, which funds education and community services in Ethiopia.
So far, Nubia has  19 ＄2,781 of her ＄10,000 goal. Nubia says that her parents have been extremely  20 ; they’re selling most of their Ethiopian artifacts to help raise funds.
