A group of 75 female volunteers from India’s Odisha state has spent every day of the last 20 years patrolling(巡逻) a 75-hectare forest to protect it from illegal woodcutters. In 1999, the eastern state of Odisha was hit by a supercyclone (超级飓风). “Our homes and standing crops were destroyed. There was no food or clothing for days,” 52-year-old Charulata Biswal, a volunteer forest protector, told Mongabay-India. “But we realized it was because of the surviving forest that many people in Gundalba, a small village, were still alive. We promised we would protect the forest in return and restore the biodiversity.” Groups of women patrol the forest at least twice a day. As they walk among the trees, they blow their whistles and bang wooden sticks against tree trunks. “We beat our sticks and patrol in groups of 10,” Biswal said. “We spread out inside the forest and blow whistles. Anyone with the intention to harm the local biodiversity will flee on hearing our whistle and the banging of our sticks on tree trunks.” In 2001, over 70 women from Gundalba came together to form the Women’s Forest Protection Committee. Apart from their daily patrols, they also approached neighboring villages that also depend on the forest for firewood about setting up a system for sustainability (可持续性). For example, every village is allowed to gather firewood from the forest on a set day of the month, usually a few days after another settlement has finished the gathering process. Over the years, they have caught several people cutting trees illegally in the forest. Asked if they have ever been afraid of patrolling the large forest they said no. “The forest is an extension of our home,” Biswal said. “Won’t it hurt to see your children suffer? This is how a mother feels and we are doing something that comes to us naturally.” Thanks to the women’s efforts, the forest gradually came back to life. Birds started nesting in trees again and the animals returned. 【1】What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2? A.To introduce the natural disaster in India. B.To show what people in Gundalba did to survive. C.To explain why the women decided to patrol the forest. D.To describe the poor situation in eastern state of Odisha. 【2】Why do the women whistle and bang the sticks? A.To attract more birds and animal. B.To relax themselves during their work. C.To make themselves brave to go among the forest. D.To warn people meaning to damage the forest to leave. 【3】What did the Committee do after its foundation? A.They gathered firewood from other forests. B.They reduced the time for patrolling the forest. C.They adopted environment-friendly woodcutting methods. D.They stopped neighboring villages from cutting their trees. 【4】How does Charulata Biswal feel about the forest? A.It is like her family. B.It will take long to recover. C.It has lost some natural functions. D.It suffers a lot from illegal cutting. |

We all know what a brain is. A doctor will tell you that the brain is the organ of the body in the head. It controls our body’s functions, movements, emotions and thoughts. But a brain can mean so much more. A brain can also simply be a smart person. If a person is called brainy, he is smart and intelligent. If a family has many children but one of them is super smart, you could say, “He’s the brains in the family.” And if you are the brains behind something, you are responsible for developing or organizing something. For example, Bill Gates is the brains behind Microsoft. Brain trust is a group of experts who give advice. Word experts say the phrase “brain trust” became popular when Franklin D. Roosevelt first ran for president in 1932. Several professors gave him advice on social and political issues（问题）facing the U.S. These professors were called his “brain trust”. These ways we use the word “brain” all make sense. But other ways we use the word are not so easy to understand. For example, to understand the next brain expression, you first need to know the word “drain”. As a verb, to drain means to remove something by letting it flew away. So a brain drain may sound like a disease where the brain flows out the ears. But, brain drain is when a country’s most educated people leave their countries to live in another. The brains are, sort of, draining out of the country. However, if people are responsible for a great idea, you could say they brainstormed it. Here, brainstorm is not an act of weather. It is a process of thinking creatively about a complex topic. For example, business leaders may use brainstorming to create new products, and government leaders may brainstorm to solve problems. If people are brainwashed, it does not mean their brains are nice and clean. To brainwash means to make some accept new beliefs by using repeated pressure in a forceful or tricky way. Keep in mind that brainwash is never used in a positive way. 【1】According to the text, if you’re the CEO of Bai Du you can be called . A. the organ of Bai Du B. the brain drain of Bai Du C. the brains behind Bai Du D. Bai Du’s brain trust 【2】Roosevelt successfully won the election probably because . A. he got his brain trust B. he got the help of word experts C. he was smart at giving advice D. he was the brains behind America 【3】From the passage, we can infer that . A. to drain a lake means to fill it with a lot of water B. brainy and brainwash are never used in a negative way C. brainstorming is not a good choice for a political leader for lack of creativity D. a country suffers a “brain drain” when educated people move to other countries 【4】The author explains the “brain” expressions by . A. making comments B. making comparisons C. using examples D. analyzing origins |

Last year, on report card day, my son and a bunch of his 13-year-old friends piled into the back seat of my car, ready for the last-day-of-school party at McDonald’s. “Jack got a laptop for getting straight A’s, and Laurie got a cell phone,” one boy said. “Oh, yeah, and Sarah got an iPod Nano, and she’s only in third grade,” said another. “And how about Brian? He got $10 for each A.” I suddenly became concerned. These payoffs might get parents through grammar school, but what about high school and beyond? What would be left after the electric guitar, the cell phone, and the portable laptop? I saw the road ahead: As the homework load increased, my income would decrease. I saw my comfortable lifestyle vanish before my eyes — no more of those $5 bags of already-peeled organic carrots. No more organic anything! I started to feel surprised and nervous. Would every goal attained by my two children fetch a reward? A high grade point average? A good class ranking? Would sports achievements be included in this reward system: soccer goals, touchdowns（橄榄球触地得分）, runs-batted-in（棒球打点得分）? What about orchestra（管弦乐团）? Would first chair pay more than second? I’d be penniless by eighth-grade graduation. “We never paid anything for good grades,” said my neighbor across the street, whose son was recently accepted at MIT. “He just did it on his own. Maybe once in a while we went out for pizza, but that’s about it.” Don’t you just hate that? We’re all running around looking for the latest electronic products, and she’s spending a few dollars on pizza. She gets motivation; we get negotiation. 【1】The sentence “As the homework load increased, my income would decrease.” in the third paragraph probably means ______. A.taking care of the children would influence my work B.I would spend more money on my children’s homework C.reducing children’s homework load would cost me a lot D.more rewards would be needed as the children grew up 【2】It can be inferred from the passage that ______. A.if you pay the children for good grades, they would take it for granted B.if you buy children pizza for good grades, they would work harder C.children would not ask for rewards when they enter high school D.children would not ask for rewards when they enter university 【3】The example of the author’s neighbor shows that ______. A.pizza is the best way to motivate children B.reward is not the only way to motivate children C.the author’s neighbor was very poor D.the author’s neighbor’s son didn’t like reward 【4】What is the author’s attitude toward paying children reward for good grades? A.Favorable. B.Ambiguous. C.Disagreeable. D.Unknowable. |

Getting the Cheapest Flights After interviewing 10 travel agents in the area, we’ve compiled (汇编) the very best tips for finding the cheapest flights. Book your flight 21 days before you want to fly. Booking a flight is like playing a game of chicken. Airlines want to get the most money possible for their tickets and have difficult computer programs that adjust their prices automatically. Booking too early, you might miss out on some major deals.【1】The best advice is to book your flight 21 days before your planned departure date to get the best deals. 【2】Most airlines update their reservation systems on Tuesday at 7 p.m. GMT.

Tuesday and Wednesday are the least busy days at airports, and are also the cheapest days to fly. 【3】Friday and Sunday are the peak flying days of the week, and are the worst, and most expensive days to fly. Book early for international flights. 【4】You can also try flying into smaller airports, which sometimes have better deals. Eat your cookies（网络标记)． Delete your Internet browser cookies if you’ve visited an airline site within the last 30 days. 【5】 Compare prices.

短文改错 Tom and David are all my nephews. They are of same age. Tom loves reading while David doesn’t. Why? It has something to do with what they were brought up. When Tom was about two years old, his parents started reading about stories to him. When he was a bit old, he was asked to read picture books by themselves. By six years old, he has formed the habit of reading regular. But David’s parents didn’t read to him and ask him to read. So it’s no wonder that David doesn’t read now. I think parents play a really important role in help their children fall in love with reading. |
