Sometimes pets are more than we can handle, like when a small puppy grows up to be a huge dog. People can usually find a new home for a big dog, but a giant pet snake is not so easy to give away. As a result, some people in Florida have released their pet pythons into the wilderness of the Florida Everglades. Problem solved? Only for the pet owners. The snakes that are the biggest problem are Burmese pythons. These snakes are not native to the Everglades. Pet dealers originally brought them to the United States from Southeast Asia. Because Burmese pythons are not native, they disrupt the natural order of the Everglades’ ecosystem. The snakes’ size and strength are also a problem. Burmese pythons can grow to be 20 feet long. There are reports of terrifying battles between pythons and alligators in the Everglades. Even more worrisome is the impact on creatures that are no match for the monster snakes. For example, biologists have discovered endangered birds, bobcats, and wood rats in pythons’ stomachs. Another effect of python dumping is the spread of these snakes beyond the Everglades. Pythons swim well and can move more than a mile a day on land. In addition, one snake can produce nearly 100 eggs. Their wide range of movement and high rate of birth means that the snakes can quickly overrun a habitat. As a result of this scary scenario, Florida park rangers, wildlife officials, and others are on “python patrol.” They capture and kill Burmese pythons to try to keep the numbers under control. There is also a greater effort to teach people about the responsibilities of keeping a python. 【1】Which of these has caused Burmese pythons to be found in the Florida Everglades? A.Pet owners who let them go. B.Pet dealers who released them into the wild. C.The large number of eggs the snakes produce. D.The snakes’ ability to swim and move well. 【2】One effect of pythons in the Everglades is . A.they can even grow to 20 feet long B.they put endangered animals at greater risk C.biologists can study them in the natural habitat D.they control the alligator population 【3】The underlined word “dumping” in Paragraph 4 means . A.selling unwanted goods very cheaply B.moving information from a computer C.putting something down carelessly D.getting rid of something unwanted 【4】According to the passage, why pythons are spreading beyond the Everglades? A.Pythons are not native to the Everglades. B.Burmese pythons can grow to 20 feet long. C.Pythons can swim and move well on land. D.Florida park rangers are on "python patrol". 【5】Which of these might happen after pythons become a problem in Florida? A.Pythons will grow too big to handle at home. B.Owners will become educated about pythons. C.People will no longer get pythons as pets. D.Pet dealers will stop bringing pythons here. |

You’ve probably heard of rain forests, but do you know what a cloud forest is? Cloud forests are evergreen forests that are often covered in clouds or mist and are located on mountains. Cool temperatures on mountain slopes create clouds that cover the trees. There are cloud forests on most continents. Central and South America have them, as do Asia and Africa. You can also find cloud forests in Hawaii and on Caribbean islands. Cloud forests have different names, depending on where they are found. Cloud forests are also known as fog forests or mossy forests. In Peru and Bolivia, cloud forests are part of a larger ecosystem called yungas, which means “warm lands.” Many scientists consider cloud forests to be a special type of rainforest. Cloud forests are not as warm tropical rain forests because they are found at higher elevations (海拔) that have colder air. But these cloud forests and tropical rain forests both have many different plants and animals living within their ecosystems. Like tropical rain forests, cloud forest trees drip (滴下) with moisture, but it does not often rain in a cloud forest. Instead, the fog collects as dew on leaves, vines, and branches. This dew provides the water that the plants need. Green moss, ferns, and exotic, colorful orchid flowers hang down from the canopy. Other plants and bushes crowd between the trees, and hundreds of insects crawl (爬行) and fly amid the vegetation. Cloud forests are as diverse and interesting as rain forests or temperate forests. Cloud forests have animals that aren't found anywhere else, such as mountain gorillas and a strange woolly mammal called the mountain tapir. The colorful Quetzalcoatl bird is also found there, and golden toads hop among the bushes. Lately, scientists discovered a new cloud forest animal, a black and brown rodent that looks like a cross between a squirrel and a rat. Cloud forests probably contain hundreds of other rare and fascinating plants and animals that people have never seen before. 【1】The passage is mostly about . A.the animals of the cloud forest B.what the cloud forest is like C.where cloud forests are found D.how scientists study the cloud forest 【2】Clouds form in the cloud forest because . A.temperatures are cool B.there are so many trees C.the forests are so low D.it is so moist there 【3】The passage includes details about . A.why scientists study cloud forests B.the kinds of trees in cloud forests C.the animals and plants of cloud forests D.why cloud forests are endangered 【4】How are cloud forests and tropical rain forests different? A.Cloud forests have more plants. B.Cloud forests are wetter. C.Cloud forests are studied by scientists. D.Cloud forests are found on mountain slopes. |

If you don’t have a travel-friendly DVD player, or you want your vacation to be spent away from the screen—bring along these games and ideas for young kids. 【1】 Give the kids a map and a highlighter, and have them follow the route you take. If you want to get a little fancier than a sketch book and colouring pencils, then a laptop coloring desk is a great way for kids to keep occupied and make postcards to send to friends and family. Try a game 20 questions: You think of a person or object, and your opponent(s) asks you 20-yes-or-no questions to try to figure out who or what you're thinking of. The memory game: “I’m going to the World’s Fair and in my suitcase I packed…”【2】 Beginning with A, the first letter of each new item must start with the next letter of the alphabet. Back seat bingo: Before you leave, draw up a grid for each passenger filling each of the squares with a different sight to cross off.【3】. Pack plenty of snacks Try to vary the snacks between healthy, filling choices and less healthy treats. 【4】. Sweet snacks provide all important bargaining tools to prevent back seat fights and constant “Are we there yet” barking. Being involved in the creation will make them even more interested in the snacks during the car journey. Choose a family friendly audio book Pack a selection of audio books to entertain the whole family through the journey. If you're on a long trip, opt for Harry Potter so you'll never run out of story. 【5】 Kids imitate the noises they hear in places such as home, street, farm, or zoo. After 20 minutes of that, you may want to try the quiet contest—whoever can be the quietest and the longest wins a prize. If you’re very lucky after this game, you could just have some sleeping children on your hands. A.Avoid loud noise B.Hold a sound contest C.But some healthy treats are enough D.Bring along plenty of writing materials E.Players take turns adding a new item to the list. F.You could even add the motivation for a prize for the winner G.Try to pack enough that you can disperse them throughout the journey |
