16.Three years ago,five parrots were set free in a wild place of Arizona,thousands of miles from the Channel Islands in Jersey sher they had been looked after by zookeepers.No evolutionary strategies informed them how to behave in this new Landscape of mountainous pine forest unoccupied by their king for 50years.To the researchers'surprise,they failed to make contact with a group of wild parrots imported from Mexico and set free at the same time.Within 24hours the reintroducing ended in failure,and the poor birds were back in cages,on their way to the safety of the Arizona reintroduction programme.
Ever since then,the programme has enjoyed great success,mainly because the birds now being set free are Mexican birds illegally caught in the wild,confiscated (没收) on arrival north of the border,and raised by their parents in the safety of the programme.The experience shows how little we know about the behaviour and psychology(心理) of parrots,as Peter Bennett,a bird researcher,points out:"Reintroducing species of high intelligence like parrots is a lot more difficult.People like parrots,always treating them as nothing more than pers or valuable‘collectables'."
Now that many species of parrot are in immediate danger of dying out,biologists are working together to study the natural history and the behaviour of this family of birds.Last year was an important turning point:conservationists founded the World Parrot Trust,based at Hayle in Cornwall,to support research into both wild and caged birds.
Research on parrots is vital for two reasons.Forest,as the Arizona programme showed,when reintroducing parrots to the wild,we need to be aware of what the birds must know if they are to survive in their natural home.We also need to learn more about the needs oft parrots keot as pets,particularly as the Trust's campaign does not attempt to discourage the practice,but rather urges people who buy parrots as pets to choose birds raised by humans.

A.Its landscape is new to parrots of their king.
B.It used to be home to parrots of their kind.
C.It is close to where they had been kept.

55.The reintroducing experience three years ago shows that man-raised parrotsC.
A.can find their way back home in Jersey
B.are unable to recognize their parents
C.are unable to adapt to the wild
D.can produce a new species
56.Why are researches on parrots important according to the passage?B
A.The Trust shows great concern for the programme.
B.We need to knows more about how to preserve parrots
C.Many people are interested in collecting parrots.
D.Parrots'intelligence may some day benefit people.

1.Dear Friend,
The recent success of children's books has made the general public aware that there's a huge market out there.
And there's a growing need for new writers trained to create the 3 billion worth of children's books bought each year…plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers.
Who are these needed writers?They're ordinary folks like you and me.
But am I good enough?
I was once where you might be now.My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt,and I didn't know where to turn for help.
Then,I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude(潜能),and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed.
The promise that paid off
The Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you,if you show basic writing ability:
You will complete at least one manuscript(手稿) suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.
I really didn't expect any publication before I finished the course,but that happened.I sold three stories.And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute.
Since graduation,I have authored 34 nationally published children's books and over 300 stories and articles.
Free test and brochure
We offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training.
Realize your writing dream today.There's nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades forever.
 
Sincerely,
KimiKristi Holl,Instructor
Institute of Children's Literature

8.Cities alarmed by deaths and injuries of pedestrians are taking efforts to make crosswalks safer for people on foot,especially seniors and children who need more time to cross streets.

1.Different Cultures
The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot.(36)E
The origin of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries:China and India.Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers-the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India.(37)F
When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture,another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain-the Mesopotamian Civilization.This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.(38)C  Like the Chinese culture,the European culture also crossed waters.When the British settled down in America,their culture went with them over,the Atlantic Ocean.So the American culture doesn't distinguish from the European culture a lot.
(39)D Take the language system for example.In the East,most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system  Other causes like human race difference counts as well.But what's more.due to the far distance and the steep.areas between the East and West,the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries.So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no-interference(干扰) from the other.
The differences are everywhere.(40)G  But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful.The cultural gap should not be the obstacle (障碍)  to the civilization of human being.It ought to be the motivation of our going farther.

A.Let us work together to keep a variety of culture.
B.One important thing is to learn about other cultures.
C.And these two are well-known as the base of the European culture.
D.At the same time,some other  differences add to the cultural differences.
E   This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.
F.They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.
G.They are obvious and affect people's ways of thinking and their views of the world.
