18．Millions of people visit Yosemite National Park every year to see the tall waterfalls and mountains．These mountains are a splendid sight when viewed from the valley floor．Lots of stores，hotels，and restaurants are needed to handle the crowds．Also，water，roads，and other service systems are part of the infrastructure （基础设施） that must be maintained．
Unfortunately，these systems are starting to break down．It's not just in Yosemite but in national parks around the nation．
Yosemite is thirty years old according to Dennis Galvin，a National Park Service worker．The Park is not only old but worn out．Two or three times as many visitors come every year．That is too many visitors for the park to deal with．
Four years ago a storm washed out a water pipeline in the Grand Canyon．The National Park Service had to send water trucks to provide water for the visitors．Last month pipes almost broke again and roads had to be closed for a while．
Why hasn't the National Park Service kept up the park repairs？There is a lack of money．The United States has 378monuments，parks，and wilderness areas．Between three and four billion dollars are needed for repairs．
Yosemite is one national park that does have money for repairs．It has two hundred million dollars but cannot spend it any way it chooses．When the park workers started widening the road，they were forced to stop by the Sierra Club．The club claimed that the road work was damaging the Merced River that runs through the park．
A sierra Club lawyer，Julia Olson，feels that the infrastructure needs to be moved out of Yosemite．That way less pressure will be put on the already crowded park．

2．A meteor（陨星） that exploded over Russia's Ural mountains and sent burning to earth has set off a rush to find fragments of the space rock which hunters hope could fetch thousands of dollars a piece．
Friday's explosion and following shockwave shattered windows，injured almost 1200people and caused about 33million worth of damage，said local authorities．
It also started a"meteorite rush"around the industrial city of Chelyabinsk，where groups of people have started combing through the snow and ice．
"The price is hard to say yet…The fewer meteorites that are discovered，the higher their price is．"Said Dmitry Kachkalin，a member of the Russian Society of Amateur Meteorite Lovers．
Meteorites are parts of a meteor that have fallen to earth．
Scientists at the Urals Federal University were the first to announce a significant find-53small，stony，black objects around Lake Chebarkul，near Chelyabinsk，which tests confirmed were small meteorites．
The fragments were only 0.5to 1cm across but the scientists said larger pieces may have crashed into the lake，where a crater in the ice about eight metres wide opened up after Friday's explosion．
"We just completed tests and confirm that the pieces of matter found by our experts around Lake Chebarkul are really meteorites．"said Viktor Grokhovsky，a scientist with the Urals Federal University and the Russian Academy of Sciences．
Many other people were in the area just hoping to find a meteorite after what was described by scientists as a once-in-a-century event．
Residents of a village near Chelyabinsk searched the snowy streets，collecting stones they hoped prove to be the real thing．But not all were ready to sell．
"I will keep it．Why sell it？I didn't have a rich lifestyle before，so why start now？"a woman in a woollen hat and winter jacket，clutching a small black pebble（小圆石），told state television．
The Internet was filled quickly with advertisements from eager hunters hoping to sell what they said were meteorites-some for as little as 1，000roubles （33.18）．
One seller of a large，silver-hued rock wrote in an advertisement："Selling an unusual rock．It may be a piece of meteorite．It may be a bit of a UFO．It may be a piece of a rocket!"

19．There are three separate sources of danger in supplying energy by nuclear power （原子能）．
First，the radioactive material must travel from its place of production to the power station．Although the power stations themselves are strongly built，the containers used for the transport of the materials are not．Normally，only two methods of transport are its use，namely road or rail．Unfortunately，both of these may have an effect on the general public，since they are sure to pass near，or even through，heavily populated areas．
Second，there is the problem of waste．All nuclear power stations produce wastes that in most eases will remain radioactive for thousands of years．It is impossible to make these wastes nonradioactive，and so they must be stored iii one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented．For example，they may be hurled under the ground，or dropped into deserted mines，or sunk in the sea．However，these methods do not solve the problem，since an earthquake could easily break the containers．
Third．there may occur the danger of a leak （泄漏） or an explosion at the power station．As with the other two dangers，this is nm very likely，so it does not provide a serious objection to the nuclear program．However，it can happen．
Separately，these three types of dangers are not a great cause for worry，if taken together，though，the probability of disaster （灾难） is extremely high．
64．What do we learn from the last paragraph？D
A．The power station is a safe place．
B．The dangers of nuclear energy can be prevented．
C．The general public are strongly against the nuclear program．
D．By itself，none of the three dangers is very likely to cause much worry．
65．What is this passage about？B
A．Uses of nuclear power．B．Dangers from nuclear power．
C．Public anger at nuclear power．D．Accidents caused by nuclear power．

16．Seattle，Washington，is nicknamed"Rain city"，but it's snow that is making it famous．On January  12，2013，Seattle residents（居民）set the Guinness World Record for the biggest snowball fight More than5，800people showed up to throw snowballs at one another at the Seattle Centre．
It didn't snow in Seattle on that day，but there was snow in a small comer of the city-enough to  make a lot of kids'dreams come true．Trucks carried 34loads of snow from Snoqualmie Pass，an hour  away in Washington's Cascade mountain range to the Seattle Center It took 162，000pounds of the white  stuff to build the winter wonderland．
The goal!To break the Guinness World Record for the biggest snowball fight The event was also a fundraiser（资金筹集活动）for the Boys and Girls Clubs．Seattle businessman Neil Bergquist took three  months to organize the playful battle．He wanted to raise money for kids by remembering what it was like  to feel like a kid'
Although Seattle residents aren't used to snow，they succeeded in getting enough people to come out  and play About 6，000tickets were sold online．Participants were given bar-coded（条形码）wristbands  when they arrived The wristbands were scanned as participants entered and left the location，so Guinness  counted the number at all times．There were 130judges for the official minute-and-a-half snowball fight  Anyone not throwing snowball wasn't counted in the total
To raise money for the Clubs，companies paid for space to build snow fontsA．A Guinness official confirmed the count of 5，834people．Seattle beat the previous world record of about 5，400at a 2010snowball fight in South Korea
"We had much fun  set a Guinness record，raised some money for kids，and everyone had a chance to act like a'kid for a day，"said Bergquist

17．A campaign（活动） is being launched to encourage children to surrender 30minutes of screen time a day to head for the great outdoors．
The newly formed Wild Network-a collaboration of nearly 400organizations-is attempting to attract youngsters away from television and computer screen and to fields，woods and parks．Members of the network include the National Trust，RSPB，Play England and the NHS．Organizers say it is the UK's biggest ever campaign to reconnect children with nature and outdoor play，and claim it could help improve fitness，mental alertness（机敏） and general wellbeing．
A documentary film，Project Wild Thing，will forecast the launch at more than 50cinemas across the UK from Friday．It looks at the increasing link between children and nature．
Andy Simpson，chairman of the Wild Network，said，"The tragic truth is that kids have lost touch with nature and the outdoors in just one generation．Time spent outdoors is down，roaming（漫步） ranges have fallen largely，activity levels are declining and the ability to identify common species has been lost．"
Suggestions of how to get more time in nature include collecting conkers（七叶树果），camping or snail racing，and observing autumn colour on trees．
From January，the network will aim to make suggestions to politicians on how government can do more to get children muddy and bright-eyed．
This is not the first time the message of less screen，more play has been brought up．Children in the 1980s were requested to do the same by the BBC TV series Why Don't You，which somewhat confusingly called on its viewers to"switch off your TV set and go to do something less boring instead"．
