They watched the monkeys play on the rocks and enjoy the sun.“I wish I could come every day,” said David.“It sounds like you might like to be a zookeeper,” Mr. Spencer said thoughtfully. “Do you see that woman wearing the dark brown pants and top? Im pretty sure she is a zookeeper. Why dont you ask her to tell us something about her job?”一个晴朗的星期六的下午，大卫同爸爸妈妈以及哥哥鲍勃来到动物园，他们在猴山旁，看猴子们在岩石上嬉戏打闹和享受阳光。“每天都能来动物园该有多好啊！”大卫说。“你是不是想当一名动物园饲养员呢？”爸爸若有所思地说道。“看到那位身穿深棕色衣服的阿姨了吗？我想她应该是这里的动物饲养员。为什么你不请她告诉我们有关饲养员的工作情况呢？”After Davids self introduction, the woman, whose name was Carol, joined them minutes later.“How long have you been a zookeeper?” asked Bob.Carol smiled. “Ive been here for almost 15 years,” she said. “I have a degree in zoology, like most of the other zookeepers here.”“What are the best and worst parts about being a zookeeper?” asked David.“Well, seeing the animals every day is the best part,” said Carol. “Zookeepers often form a strong bond with the animals under their care. Sometimes, we have to remind ourselves that the zoo animals are wild creatures, not pets,” she added.“I think the worst part is that the work can be difficult and unpleasant,” continued Carol. “The cages are often smelly, and we have to work in all kinds of weather. We have to make sure the animals are clean and well fed and that they are kept in good condition.”“Do you ever teach the animals to do tricks?” wondered Bob.“Thats a good question, Bob,” said Carol. “Some visitors expect that the animals here will know how to perform. We are careful not to teach the animals to do things just to entertain people. Some animals, like the monkeys, enjoy playing, so we play games with them.” 大卫向那位名叫卡罗尔的饲养员阿姨做了自我介绍，几分钟后，她加入了他们（的谈话中）。“您做饲养员多长时间了？”鲍勃问道。卡罗尔笑了笑说：“我在这里工作快15年了”。她说。“和其他饲养员一样，我取得了动物学专业的学位。”“作为一名饲养员，您认为您的工作中最大的乐趣和不足是什么呢？”大卫问道。“每天能看到这些动物是我工作中最大的乐趣，”卡罗尔说道。“因为长期精心地照料这些动物，每位饲养员都和这些动物结下了深厚的感情。有时，我们不得不提醒自己，它们毕竟是野生动物，而不是宠物。”卡罗尔继续说道：“饲养员这个工作其实并不容易，也不轻松。饲养笼的气味很不好闻而且无论什么样的天气。我们都得坚持工作。还有，我们必须确保所有的动物状态良好：干净，吃得饱。”“是不是还要训练它们一些表演技能？”鲍勃问道。“你问的问题很好，鲍勃。”卡罗尔回答道。“有些游客希望看到这里的动物表演，但是，我们不会为了让它们给游客表演、取悦游客而去训练它们。有些动物，比如猴子，它们天生好动，喜欢玩，那我们就陪它们玩。”“So, what do you think, David? Does it sound like zookeeping is something that might interest you?” asked Carol.“Im even more excited by the idea than I was before!” said David.“I think that cleaning the litter box at home should be your chore now,” joked Bob. “It would be good practice for you!”“怎么样，大卫？这听起来还像你喜欢的饲养动物的工作吗？”卡罗尔问道。“我更喜欢啦！”大卫答道。“以后家里洗盘子的事情就归你了”，鲍勃开玩笑说，“这对你将来的工作来说，是个很好的练习。”【典型例题】Last week, 169 Junior 1 students at No. 35 Middle School of Shenyang took their first no-teacher exam. After the teacher handed out the exam paper, he left the room and never came back. A student collected in the papers when the exam ended. “That test was not only a test of knowledge, but also a test of moral （道德）. We wanted to show students how important honesty （诚实）is, ”said Cai Wenguo, the schools headmaster. The school says no cheating （作弊）happened in the test. Next year, it wants 80 of its exams to be without teachers. But students have different ideas. “I was happy and excited during the exam because my teachers trusted （信任）me, ”said Lang Yudan, a 13-year-old girl in Class 11. “Schools must trust students a lot not to use invigilators （监考人）. But I think it is too early. Some students will cheat if there are no invigilators. And the students will not be able to ask for help when needed. ”said Hua Sha. “I dont like having invigilators in exams. When they walk around the classroom, they make me nervous. I would get higher marks without them in the room because I would feel more relaxed. ”Liu Qingxi said. “I think its very important to have invigilators in exams. Many students want to check their answers with each other after they have finished papers. And they can also keep the classroom in order when something unusual happens. They may make me nervous, but I still think we need them. ”ShangGuanyuan said. Not using invigilators may be a good idea.

She would like to take Buster, her sheep, to the field for a short walk. Perky, her hamster (an animal like a mouse) and Slipper, her snake, would enjoy an outing too. “Ill help you clean your room,” Mrs. Hunter said. “Then youll be free to do what you want the rest of the day.” Jan started picking up her clothes. Mrs. Hunter turned to the bed to take off the sheets (床单). As she lifted the pillow( 枕头), Slipper moved quickly under the blanket（毯子）. “That does it!” Mrs. Hunter cried. “Get that snake out of here! And look at thisone of your best shoes too dirty to see the color. This is it. Jan. No more animals in the house; thats final!” Mrs. Hunter said in a loud voice as she marched out of the room.Jan felt sad. She walked slowly across the street, Buster followed behind, to tell her tale to her old friend Mr. Ward. He thought for a few minutes. Then he said that if Jan found the right cages(笼子) for the pets, perhaps Mrs. Hunter could let the animals live out on the warm sun porch（门廊）.Jan remembered an old bird cage that would do for Perky. Busters bed could simply be moved. Something for Slipper, though, was a real problem. “Lets see what there is out in my garden,” Mr. Ward suggested. They found a aquarium(鱼缸)in the corner. Mr. Ward pulled out a large piece of glass that would do for a cover. Jan and Buster rushed home to see what Mrs. Hunter would say. When Mr. Ward heard Jans loud cry of joy, he knew Jans troubles were over.33. The story took place on_.A. a cold day in MarchB. a weekend day in OctoberC. a Saturday in SeptemberD. a warm day in January34. _ is the most important character in the story.A. JanB. Mrs. HunterC. Mr. WardD. Buster35. What happened first in the story?A. Jan took Buster for a walk.B. Mrs. Hunter saw the dirty shoes.C. Mrs. Hunter saw Slipper in Jans room.D. Jan told her sad story to her friend Mr. Ward. 36. What was the problem in the story?A. Mrs. Hunter was afraid of snakes.B. Mr. Ward had an aquarium in his garden.C. Jan didnt know what to do in such good weather.D. Jans mother said the pets couldnt stay in the house.*BPlants and animals, including humans, need food and water to live on. These are from the natural resources(资源) on Earth. To protect these resources, we need to keep the air clean and the water drinkable. We need to keep the soil (土壤)healthy. How do we do that?Protect the landThe soil that covers fields and farms provides much of the food we eat. Human activities such as plowing(耕) fields, mining(采矿), and building highways can destroy (破坏)the land. Erosion happen when wind and water carry away the soil. Soil erosion can turn rich farmland into a desert wasteland. So does this mean we shouldnt build a highway or plow a field? Of course not. But it does mean we might think about Earthfriendly ways of doing those things.Today farmers plow their fields in different ways to prevent erosion. They try to use less water for their crops. They keep animals from eating the growing grass in just one area. Farmers also plant trees to prevent erosion from happening.Save the TreesAnother human activity that damages the land is deforestation(采伐森林). People take away a large number of trees from a forest. Millions of square kilometers of forest disappear each year. When this happens, many plants and animals lose their places to live. They may die out, or become very few. Scientists havent even discovered all the living things in the forest. We may be losin
