Is there any hope for the r/nVio (苏门答腊犀牛)？Only about 100 of these small,hairy rhinos remain on the planet. And only a few of them exist in the wild. Scientists are lucky to spot one or two on camera traps every couple years. Like all other rhino species,Sumatran rhinos have been poached (偷猎)for their valuable horns,which are used in traditional Asian medicine and can sell at high prices. Although rhino horns have no medical effects,they are used to “treat” everything.

That it's so hard Jto find the last wild Sumatran rhinos dnesn't stnn nnar.hp.rc frnm trvino Rarlipir thic year the species was declared extinct in the wild m Borneo. A year earlier,some people rescued what now appears to have been the last wild Bornean rhino in Malaysia from a poacher's trap. That rhino,a female named Iman,was briefly thought to be a sign of hope for the species. At the time of her rescue,it appeared that she was pregnant. That didn’t turn out to be the case. Examinations showed that she — like many of the remaining females in her species — was suffering from a disease ihat prevented her from becoming pregnant.

Another sign of hope arrived this month. A Sumatran rhino named Harapan — whose name means “hope” 一 arrived in Indonesia as part of a program. The American rhino joined his older brother,Andalas,who arrived in Sumatra in 2007 and fathered a rhino in 2012. All previous breeding efforts in Indonesia failed — for 140 years ‘— until Andalas arrived. Andalas* mate,Ratu,is now expecting her second baby rhino.

However,any rhinos in captivity would not help the remiaining wild rhinos,because they probably wouldn't be able to be released into the jungle after being raised among humans. That means protecting the few wild rhinos remains important.

13. What do we know about the wild Sumatran rhino from Paragraph 1 ?

A. It lives a safer life than before.

B. Its horn is seldom used in medicine.

C. It isn't afraid of being taken pictures.

D. It is extremely hard to see in the wild.

14. Why didn* t Iman become pregnant?

A. Because she was too old.

B. Because there was no male rhino.

C. Because her health didn't allow it.

D. Because she got injured in the trap.

15. Harapan was brought to Indonesia to .

A. unite' with Ratu

B. father rhinos there

C. be released into the wild

D. help scientists do research

16. The last paragraph mainly shows that.

A. a few wild rhinos have been found recently

B. wild Sumatran rhinos should be well protected

C. many of the remaining female rhinos have got a bad disease

D. the Sumatran rhinos in captivity will be released into the jungle

School-age children who do charity work are likely to display better moral judgments than those who play sport,according to a large-scale national survey conducted by Birmingham University.

The survey of 10 ,000 pupils aged 14 and 15 in secondary schools across the UK found that more than half failed to identify what researchers described as good judgments when responding to a series of moral dilemmas,leading researchers to call for schools to have a more active role in teaching character and morality.

“A good grasp of moral virtues,such as kindness,honesty and courage,can help children to succeed as human beings,and can also l^ad to improvements in the classroom. And that level of understanding needs to be educated and encouraged/' said Prof James Arthur from Birmingham University.

Overall onlv 42% of students’ responses matched those selected by a group of experts. Students wno saia they did charity work outside of school scored 50% . Those doing music (48%) or drama (48%) were also better able to make good moral judgments. Contrary to popular opinion,students who said they participated in port did not show better moral juagmenib. me researchers also found that girls displayed greater moral ： awareness than boys in all areas,with 47% of girls making the right choices compared with just 37% of boys.

The Department for Education (DfE) has recently encouraged the teaching of moral values,but a majority of teachers surveyed as part of the research said the focus on academic attainment prevented the development of students’ character. A Dffi spokesperson said, “Character education is a central part of our plan for education. That”s why we are investing £10 million to help ensure pupils develop the virtues they need to succeed in both their academic studies and in later life.

Several years ago,my wife and I spent a few days in Berlin,staying at the Park Inn in Alexanderplatz,where we got an unusual surprise.

We arrived in the afternoon,tired from our early flight,and were checked in by a rather formal young man. We decided to have a lie down for ten minutes before exploring the city. As I lay down with my eyes half shut,I saw a shadow pass the window.,aProbably a seagull

I thought. Then the same thing happened again,but this time there was a cry coming through the balcony doors.

I got up,opened the sliding doors and went out onto the balcony to investigate — just in time to see a human body screaming past me towards the square below before safely (变慢) just a few meters from the ground. I found out it's a sport called base jumping (高处跳伞).

Once we knew what was happening,we got used to. it. It went on for a short time each day,and it was only the people that laughed loudly as they went down that disturbed me. (I tried to persuade my wife to have a go,but she said no!)

On our last day,we checked out and the same rnsenW (寡言少语的) young man served us. “I hope that you enjoyed your stay,” he said.

“Actually,” I replied, “it would have been nice to have been warned when we checked in about the base jumpers falling past our balcony."

He paused and considered for a moment,ay/zckr (闪现) of a smile appearing on one side of his mouth. “Yeah,” he said. “Perhaps we should warn people in the fliture." I knew that he wouldn,t. It was their little joke. Berliners,believe it or not,have a famous sense of humor.

There was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with

a seemingly simple question from the (收银员) ：Paper or plastic? Well,which type of bag would you choose?

While all types of bags have some influence on th^ environment,it has long been supposed that paper b?gs are kinder. TTiey are made from a renewable source,break down easily,bum without giving off thick smoke and can be (回收利用) .However,the proild: process behind paper bags uses more energy than that of plastic ones. How can this be true?

Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag production. And the (量) of water used to make them is twenty times higher. Besides the influence on forests is very serious. It takes about fourteen million trees to produce ten billion paper bags,which happens to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly. In terms of recycling,the idea that paper bags are more environment-friendly than plastic ones can be quickly discarded. Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does paper.

Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones,plastic still seems to be considered by governments as the more harmful of the two. In Ireland,for example,a tax (??) has been introduced to discourage the use of plastic bags. People have to pay 22 cents for every plastic bag,and as a result,their use has dropped quickly.

There,s no doubt it makes more sense to reuse these bags. However,we don't seem to be doing that at present. That may be because they fall apart quickly. If so,cloth bags are a better choice,but still,their production also has a bad influence on the environment. So what to do? How should we answer the question of “Paper or plastic?” It seems that we first need to ask ourselves one more general question: “What can I ?o to help the environment?”

6. The questions in Paragraph 1 are used to.

A. express ?ie author,s doubts

B. tell readers how to save money

C. introduce points for discussion

D. show the kindness of the cashier

7. Compared with plastic bags,paper bags.

A. need more water to produce

B. require less ertergy to recycle

C. take more time to break down

D. have less influence on forests

8. The underlined word “discarde”in Paragraph 3 probably means “ ”.

A. shared B. given up

C. discussed D. put forward

9. What does the Irish government think of plastic bags?.

A. They are less harmful than paper bags.

B. They can be made environment-friendly.

C. Taxes probably need to be increased further.

D. No plastic bags should be provided in shops.

10. Which question does the author probably hope the cashier will ask?

A. Paper or cloth?

B. Paper or plastic?

C. A small bag or big one?

D. A new bag or your own one?
