12.In a time when ivory poaching (偷猎) has gotten so bad that it threatens to wipe out several animal species,a young Dutch designer is creating"egalitarian (平等主义) jewelry^made of our very own ivory-teeth.
Lucie Majerus got the idea for her"human ivory"collection after having her wisdom teeth removed.She kept them and soon realized they would make great material for a jewelry collection."Why wouldn't we value our own material instead of the precious material from other species?And what if we mine our own ivory and turn it into pearls?"she asks.
Her own teeth became a ring,but in order to create a whole collection,she needed more material,and since having more of her teeth removed wasn't a very pleasant choice,she asked her dentist to save his patient's unwanted teeth.Most people choose not to keep their pulled teeth,so they are usually donated to dentistry schools.Majerus also received the lost teeth of two of her teachers at Design Academy Eindhoven,so she had a nice supply of human ivory to experiment with.
To turn human teeth into attractive pieces of jewelry,Lucie Majerus first bleaches (漂白) them,and then uses a stone polishing machine to shape the teeth into various shapes.
Majerus displayed her human ivory jewelry collection at this year's Dutch Design Week,and claims that people's reaction was mostly positive."Surprisingly,most people aren't frightened at the sight of the jewelry,but really like the idea,"Majerus told Fast Co Design."Some regret that they didn't keep their tooth at the dentist and some,who will have teeth taken out soon,are now looking forward to it."
 
25.When did Majerus get the idea of collecting human ivory?B
A.After she bought a ring.
B.After her wisdom teeth were pulled out.
C.Before she was lacking in pearls.
D.Before her wisdom teeth appeared.
26.Seeing Majerus's human ivory jewelry collection,most people feltD.

17.When the dog named Judy spotted the first sheep in her life,she did what comes naturally.The four-year-old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields and,being a city animal,lost both her sheep and her sense of direction.Then she ran along the edge of cliff( 悬崖) and fell 100feet,bouncing off a rock into the sea.
Her owner Mike Holden panicked and called the coastguard of Cornwall,who turned up in seconds.Six volunteers slid down the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her alive after a 90-minute search.
Three days later,a hurricane(飓风) hit the coast near Cornwall.Mr.Holden returned home from his holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead.He comforted himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.
For the next two weeks,the Holdens were heartbroken.Then,one day,the phone rang and Steve Tregear,the coastguard of Cornwall,asked Holder if he would like his dog back.
A birdwatcher,armed with a telescope,found the pet sitting hopelessly on a rock.While he sounded the alarm,a student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy.
The dog had been knocked unconscious(失去知觉的)at first but had survived by drinking water from a fresh scream at the base of the cliff.She may have fed on the body of a sheep which had also fallen over the edge."The dog was very thin and hungry,"Steve Tregear said,"It was a very lucky dog.She survived because of a plentiful supply of fresh water,"he added.
It was,as Mr.Holden admitted,"a minor miracle(奇迹)".

4.The theater goes dark.The audience quiets down.The curtain opens.Actors step onto the stage,and the audience sits and waits for the play to begin.
Many people are needed to put ona play.Some of these people have made the setting,or set,that decorates the stage,and costumes(戏服)for the actors to wear.Actors have tried out for the parts.Then they have taken time to learn their lines.Even after the play is ready to be performed,the work doesn't end.Let's take a look behind the scenes.
To get ready for the play,actors put on costumes and makeup.These items will help the audience get to know the characters that the actors will play on the stage.Someone backstage may help with costume changes and repairs.
A set is like a costume for the stage.It can look like a forest or a playground or anyplace else you can imagine.Sets may be made from wood,paper,and even fabric.They are usually light so they are easy to move on and off the stage.
The lights in a play are very important.Lighting shows the time of day.It can also set the feeling of a scene.For example,brightness may make the audience feel happy and get their attention.A lighting technician controls the lighting during the play.
This is just some of what's needed to put on a play.Next time you see a performance,imagine all of the people who work hard to help the performers put on a good show.
