A group of teenagers: they laugh and talk over each other, dance and make faces — you wouldn’t believe they had just played on the same stage as famous American singers Kid Cudi and Eminem.
These seven kids, all under the age of 20, are members of the band Kids These Days (KTD).
Fresh out of high school, the band already has done things that most teens couldn’t even imagine. They played at festivals including the recent SXSW in Austin and Lollapalooza in their hometown, Chicago, to crowds of loyal fans.
KTD uses a mix of hip-hop, jazz, blues and classic rock to make a sound of their own.
“KTD simply mixes most, if not all of my favourite music styles,” said Kamia Jones, as Chicago high school student.“I like that they aren’t afraid to be different and that their music is real and speaks to the soul.”
The band formed two years ago. Now, as well as local fans, they are becoming popular around the world. Their facebook page is filled with supportive posts from admirers from California to Tokyo.
“It’s really strange to me that people from London, Australia and Russia... They have heard
of us and they like our music because it’s really cool feeling,” says Marcie Stewart, who plays keyboard for the band.
Despite their recent fame, KTD is a group of normal teenagers and they remain very close to one another. While talking to the reporters, they dance and make fun of each other.
When asked what advice they would give to other teen musicians, Greg Landfair, KTD’s drummer, said, “Keep your heart in it. Never lose the music and what you are doing, because that’s what you’re here for. Let the music always be first.”
【小题1】KTD’s music is popular among teenagers mainly because ________.

Entire populations of American toads（蛤蟆）breed（繁殖）within the same few days at the same time each year, usually late April or early May. The toads hop to their breeding ponds after the ground has warmed and the first hard spring rain falls. To get there, many of the toads will cross roads that cut through their habitat. It will be a grand view of hopping toads as well as a disastrous killing by cars!

The toads are “slow in moving at that time of year―it’s still cool, they’ve been inactive―and they get killed” by cars when crossing roads, said Serrao, a naturalist. An April night five years ago, when Serrao went out to a country road to watch the moving of the toads, he counted 100 toads; 95 were hit by cars.

A similar story can be told for several other species of toads, frogs, crocodiles and turtles around the world.

The world’s amphibians are reducing, and road-killing is just one factor behind it. Other better-known causes of the decline include global warming, insecticides(杀虫剂), and the loss of wetlands.

Serrao says unless these animals get help crossing the road, their local populations will disappear.

Jackson, a biologist, said one way to help amphibians survive road crossings is to construct “amphibian tunnels” beneath the road. Jackson says tunnels should be a 0.6-meter-by-0.6-meter box, open at the top, and fitted with an iron grate（铁筛）to allow enough air and light into the tunnel. In addition, fences or walls should extend out from either side of a tunnel for about 30 meters, which guide amphibians toward the tunnels.

European countries have built amphibian tunnels for decades. Jackson led a team that installed the first such tunnel in America in 1987, which helped over 3/4 of the local amphibian population safely cross the road.

Jackson says that there are about a hundred amphibian tunnels in the US today, but many of them were not carefully designed and probably not working well because land developers wanted to save money.

62. When do American toads hop to breeding ponds?

A. Before the ground is warm.

B. When the first heavy rain comes in spring.

C. After it is cool in sunny summer time.

D. When it is early April.

63. Which is not the cause of the quick decline of the amphibian population?

A. The use of chemicals to kill insects. B. The reduce of wetlands.

C. The development of car industry. D. The green house effect of the earth.

64. Which of the following is true?

A. Toads are active when they begin their breeding migration.

B. A toad tunnel works effectively with a grate to let in air and light.

C. Amphibian tunnels were first built in America.

D. One hundred amphibian tunnels in the US work well

65. The passage is mainly about the protection of ________.

A. amphibians from road-killing B. animal species from reducing

C. toads from breeding D. toads, frogs, and turtles around the world
