Some of Man's closest relatives in the animal kingdom are under serious threat because of human activity, according to a recently published report.

Almost one in three of all apes and monkeys are now considered to be in danger of dying out and disappearing from our planet, if action is not taken soon.

The report, which was produced for the World Conservation Union (WCU), shows that 114 of the world's 394 kinds could be lost forever, and the main reason they are threatened is the continuing loss of forests where most of these animals live. In addition, illegal wildlife trade, climate change and commercial（商业的）hunting for meat are also endangering them.

What's more, the problem is getting worse. The number of species on the organization’s Red List has increased by 3 to 25 since 2005.

Russell Mittermeier, the main researcher of the WCU report, said, "You could fit(安置) all the surviving members of these 25 species in a single football stadium. So the problem is obviously urgent."

The scientists, who drew up the Red List, believe that the situation is now so bad that if action is not taken immediately, it will result in primate(灵长目动物) species dying out - something which has not happened in over a century.

The loss of habitat caused by the clearing of forests for wood, farmland and fuel continues to be the main reason for the decreasing number of primates, according to the report, and the problem was most severe in Asia.

The loss of forest trees is also responsible for 20 percent of all greenhouse gases - more than all the cars, trucks, trains and airplanes in the world combined.

1.What is the main subject of the report discussed in the text?

A．Climate change. B．Loss of animal habitat.

C．Animal protection. D．Endangered animals

2.How many animals were on the Red List in 2005?

A．22 B．19 C．25. D．28.

3.The spokesman refers to 'a football stadium' in paragraph 5 to stress that ______.

A．the animals enjoy playing sports

B．these animals should be placed there for protection

C．there are not many of these animals left

D．the report was announced there

4.What is the main cause of the greenhouse gas problem according to the text?

A．Airplanes. B．Loss of trees.

C．Factory pollution. D．Road vehicles.

A federal agency on Tuesday called for a ban on all cellphone use by drivers -- the most far-reaching recommendation up to now — saying its decision was based on a decade of investigations into distraction-related (与分散注意力有关的) accidents, as well as growing concerns that powerful mobile devices are giving drivers even more reasons to look away from the road.

As part of its recommendation, the National Transportation Safety Board is urging states to ban drivers from using hands-free devices, including wireless headsets. No state now has made laws to ban such activity, but the Board said that drivers faced serious risks from talking on wireless headsets, just as they do by taking a hand off the wheel to hold a phone to their ears.

However, the concern was heightened by increasingly powerful phones that people can use to send e-mails, watch movies and play games.

“Every year, new devices are being on sale.” she said. “People are attracted to update their Facebook page, to play music with cellphone, as if sitting at a desk. But they are driving a car.”

The agency based its recommendation on evidence from its investigation of numerous crashes in which electronic distraction was a major contributing factor.

Ms. Hersman said she understood that this recommendation would be unwelcome in some circles, given the number of drivers who talk and text. But she compared distracted driving to drunken driving and even smoking, which required wholesale cultural shifts to change behavior.

“It’s going to be very unpopular with some people.” she said. “We’re not here to win a popularity contest. We’re here to do the right thing. This is a difficult recommendation, but it’s the right recommendation and it is time.”

The agency’s recommendation is not required for states to adopt such a ban. And it won’t likely be agreed upon by state lawmakers who are unwillingly to anger those who have grown accustomed to using their device behind the wheel.

The ban also deserves attention because it is the first call by a federal agency to end the practice completely, rather than the partial ban that some lawmakers have put in place by allowing hands-free talking.

1.The ban on all cellphone use by drivers was put forward ______.

A．after a long discussion and recommendation

B．after about ten years’ investigation in it

C．because of the most powerful mobile devices

D．for the reason of heading away from the road

2.We can know from the passage that ______.

A．electronic distraction resulted in numerous crashes

B．numerous crashes were caused by drunk driving

C．electronic distraction contributed much to the ban

D．the recommendation was based on electronic distraction

3.Ms Hersman thinks that distracted driving, drunken driving and smoking ______.

A．are just common behaviors B．can be shifted to behaviors

C．are behaviors to be changed D．are just cultural behaviors

4.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

A．Cellphone Ban in Cars

B．Valuable Ban for Cellphones

C．Drivers Ban Cellphones

D．Cellphone Ban while Driving

I began working in journalism when I was eight. It was my mother’s idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.

With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was suppertime, I walked back home.

“How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked.

“None.”

“Where did you go?”

“The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”

“What did you do?”

“Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”

“You just stood there?”

“Didn’t sell a single one.”

“My God, Russell!”

Uncle Allen put in, “Well, I’ve decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickel. It was the first nickel I earned.

Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence, and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.

One day, I told my mother I’d changed my mind. I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.

“If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “you’ll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.

My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.

A．She forced him to continue. B．She punished him.

B．a bill signed in acknowledgement of debt

C．a list showing how much you have to pay

I usually doubt about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago.While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, 1 was struck by a report which concluded that today’s children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children between 9 and 17 have a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.

Why are America’s kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolation (孤独) brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.

Given that we can’t turn the clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation to cope.

At the top of the list,nurturing (培育) is a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress.

To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later.They will then have more time for face-to-face relationships, and they will get more sleep.

Limit the amount of virtual (虚拟的) violence your children are exposed to. It’s not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.

Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale.

Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you deal with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable,but it doesn’t have to ruin your life.

1.What does the author thinks of the conclusion that people in America are unhappier than 50 years ago?

A．Surprising B．Confusing C．Illogical D．Questionable

2.What does the author mean by saying “ we can’t turn the clock back(Para. 3)?

A．It’s impossible to slow down the pace of the change.

B．The social reality children are facing cannot be changed.

C．Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.

D．It’s impossible to forget the past.

3.According to an analysis, compared with normal children today, children 50 years ago __________.

A．were less isolated physically

B．were probably less self-centered

C．probably suffered less from anxiety

D．were considered less individualistic

4.What is the first and most important thing parents should do to help their children?

A．To provide them with a safer environment.

B．To lower their expectations for them.

C．To get them more involved socially.

B．Children’s anxiety has been enormously exaggerated(夸大).

C．Children’s anxiety can be removed with more parental care.

D．Anxiety, if properly controlled, may help children become mature.
