Are you running a restaurant but can’t afford to hire waiters? Well, you could learn from this Japanese restaurant that hires monkeys for the job. In order to make them look more human, the restaurant owner even masks(用面具遮掩) their faces.

The restaurant is Kayabuki, which a traditional Japanese restaurant. They have hired a couple of monkeys named Yat-chan and Fuku-chan to work as waiters (or waitresses, we’re not sure). 16-year-old Yat-chan is the older of the two, but he moves quickly between tables as he takes the customers’ drink orders. Fuku-chan gives customers a hot towel and helps them clean their hands before they order their drinks, as is the custom in Japan. Believe it or not, the pair is actually certified(授予执照) by local authorities to work at the restaurant. The customers like them as well, so they give them beans as tips. One customer, Takayoshi, said, “The monkeys are actually better waiters than some really bad human ones.”

Yat-chan and Fuku-chan were once the household pets of the restaurant owner, Kaoru Otsuka. But the older one started imitating him in restaurant duties, and that was when he realized they were actually capable of working there. “Yat-chan first learned by just watching me working in the restaurant,” he said. “It all started when one day I gave him a hot towel and he brought the towel to the customer.”

Some customers even feel that the little monkeys are just like children, or even better. 62-year-old Shiochi Yano, a regular at Kayabuki, says, “Actually, they’re better. My son doesn’t listen to me, but Yat-chan will.” Customers also say that Yat-chan is able to understand exact orders and remember them. “We called out for more beer,” said one customer, “and he just brought us some beer. It’s amazing how he seems to understand human words.”

Mr. Lee was in bed and was trying to go to sleep when he heard the bell ring. He turned on the light and looked at his clock. It was twelve o'clock. "Who can it be at this time of night?" He thought. He decided to go and find out. So he got off bed, put on his dressing gown (浴袍) and went to the door. When he opened the door, there was nobody there. "That is very strange."

In Shanghai, the historic Bund(外滩)catches much attention---many former banks and trading houses along the Huangpu River, built a century ago in different architectural styles, are monuments to the grandeur(辉煌)of that era. It can also suffocating(令人窒息的)on weekends, with tourists struggling for taking photos.

For local residents, another part of the riverfront now known as the West Bund has become a far more appealing place to spend the weekend. Here, a once industrial area known for aircraft manufacturing(制造)has been transformed into a green corridor where local residents come to ride bikes or enjoy picnics on the grassy riverbank.

In the last two years, museums and galleries have also started popping up as part of the city’s plan to turn the West Bund into a world-class art and culture center.

On one end of the waterfront area, two huge industrial buildings have been transformed into the West Bund Art Center, site of a new annual art exhibition, and the Yuz Museum, focusing on contemporary works. On the other end is another institution exhibiting a mix of classical antiquities(古董)and modern Chinese art, called the Long Museum West Bund.

It’s an ambitious effort. Under a national five-year plan to promote culture by building more museums, Shanghai has set out to transform itself from a commercial center into a cultural one.

To achieve this, the city has built may museum buildings, including the Shanghai Natural History Museum, designed by the American architects, and the Power Station of Art, a Tate Modern-inspired art museum in a former power plant that hosted a show of the Chinese artist Cai Guoqiang’s drawings.

Across the river, two former exhibition halls from the 2010 World Expo have also been transformed into museums---the oversize glossy-red former China Exhibition Hall is the new home of the China Art Museum.

For many reasons, I didn’t choose to go to university like most of my family members, schoolmates and even best friends. I can’t say that I didn’t have moments of doubt about my decision. As the last term of school was coming to a close, I began to feel very anxious about the choice I made to be different and start an apprenticeship(学徒).

Although my A-level results day was the one that I felt extremely proud of, I knew that the general feeling from most of my teachers was disappointment. I completed my application, did a series of ability tests and interviews, and at last nine months later—I began an apprenticeship with Sellafield Ltd.

As soon as I started, I knew straight away that I made the right decision. From the people I met, to the on-the-job training that I was experiencing, I began to feel a real sense of purpose and could see a successful career in an industry that I found so interesting and challenging, paving the way in front of me. I never thought when I was in sixth grade that I would be working in the nuclear industry, but now I can’t imagine working anywhere else.

Since finishing my apprenticeship over two years ago, I’ve had countless opportunities to develop myself both academically and personally. I’ve bought my first home; I was chosen to be a part of the Government’s Get In Go Far apprenticeship campaign, and offered an amazing and unique secondment(人员借调) with the Environment, Health, Safety and Quality department at Sellafield.

I have no doubt that without my apprenticeship I wouldn’t be in the position I am today, but equally I know that it was only the beginning for me.

My apprenticeship inspired me to explore different career paths in the nuclear industry, and it gave me the confidence to know that I can succeed in shifting from one position to another.

Monty Hempel is a professor of environmental science at Redlands University in California. He studies ecological literacy-or ecoliteracy (生态素养) for short. Ecoliteracy is the ability to think about and understand the natural processes that make life possible.

Monty Hempel says ecoliteracy gives people knowledge about environmental problems. But he says it does not always work to get them to change their behavior.

Mr. Hempel wrote part of the World watch Institute’s latest State of the World report. He says in his article, “Some people think that ecoliteracy is just a green form of science literacy. And what I have tried to ask is whether that’s enough. In other words, what an ecologically literate person needs to know might include things like the cycles and the flows, the energy systems, all of those kind of things that we would call the science of ecology.”

“That doesn’t seem to lead to action to protect our environment — to protect our life — support system to the level that we need to. Just because that we know, a lot about the environment doesn’t mean that we actually act to save it. After all, actions speak louder than knowledge.”

He adds that people may not be very worried about environmental problems if they seem far away. “Some people call it psychological distance. A lot of climate issues (问题) are worse in the Arctic and most of us don’t spend time in the Arctic. And so, there^ a certain distance. But there’s also a distance that’s happening in the world as it urbanizes (城市化) - people spending more time in front of screens and less time out in nature. We become, if you will, disconnected from the natural systems that used to be the key to success for a human being.”

To help children discover the wonders of nature, children should learn about nature in school, he adds. But he also points out there is a high mountain for people to climb from knowledge to action.

A. ecoliteracy is more than a green form of science literacy.

B. people have learnt more knowledge about ecoliteracy.

C. ecoliteracy can greatly affect how nature works.

D. people with enough knowledge will better protect the environment.

2.In Mr. Hempel’s opinion, which is the most important for environment protection?

A. Knowledge. B. Action.

C. Green living theory. D. Psychological distance.

3.Mr. Hempel thinks people may show no concern about some environmental problems because .

A. they lack knowledge on environment protection.

B. they are closely connected with the nature.

C. the problems are not serious at all.

D. the problems seem to be far away.

4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. It is the best way to learn about nature in school.

B. Climbing a high mountain is a good way to exercise.

C. It is easier to understand environment protection than to carry it out.

D. people should first collect waste in the mountains to protect the environment.
