Glastonbury Festival has been held on Worthy Farm in Somerset since 1970．This year，all sorts of singers and bands were there，from the likes of Beyoncé，Jessie J，to my favorite-Paolo Nutini，who I really wish I could have met!
We drove straight in to one of the muddiest （泥泞的） Glastonbury Festivals ever!We came to our camp site，carrying enough clothes for a weekend of extreme weather conditions，and spent an hour or so putting up the tent．On the second day it began to rain and didn't stop for the rest of the day．We sat in the tent waiting for it to stop，and after several hours we realized that it wouldn't．When the need for food became too strong we put on boots and raincoats and made our way across many muddy fields．
There is something for everyone at the festival-my favourite place is the Circus Field，which is full of interactive （互动的） performances．Also，I love the Kidz Field，where famous CBBC stars perform，and where you can get your face painted then run around on a climbing frame （框架） with dragons．

15．Elephants might be the most well-known and well-loved animal in African wildlife．But conservation （保护） of the African elephant faces special difficulties．While the elephant population is half of what it was 40years ago，some areas of Africa have more elephants than populated areas can support．That's why AWF scientists are studying elephant behavior，protecting habitats and finding ways for humans to live peacefully with elephants in Africa．
Years ago，overhunting and the ivory trade were the biggest threats to elephants'survival．Luckily，ivory bans （禁令），hunting rules and protected areas protect elephants from these dangers today．
The 21st century brings a different challenge to elephant conservation-land-use．Elephants walk across borders and outside parks and other protected areas．So they often destroy crops，causing conflicts （冲突） between local farmers and these big animals．
Successful conservation strategies （策略） must allow elephants to walk freely in their natural habitats while reducing conflicts between elephants and local people．
AWF researchers are searching for a way to give both elephants and people the space they need．The AWF is collecting information on elephant habitats and behavior．The information they gather will help to develop the widest possible space for elephants．
The AWF is helping elephants by protecting their habitats．And they also work with local famers to improve their life in order to encourage them to protect rather than destroy elephants．

14．Computer technology is still developing rapidly．The computer of the future will continue to increase in value and performance while decreasing in cost．It will become smaller，but faster and more powerful．
It is possible to make some guesses about what the future of the computer will look like，based upon the types of technologies that are being developed now．A lot of progress has already been made in some of these new technologies，but some are still in their earliest stages and may not be ready for use for years．Two of the most interesting areas of computing that are currently being developed are quantum computing （量子计算） and nanotechnology （纳米技术）．
Quantum computing is one possibility for the future of the computer that could make computers run far faster than even the quickest computers do today．Quantum computers could be able to do what modern supercomputers are unable to do by using transistors that are able to take on many states at the same time．
Nanotechnology could also change the face of computing，by creating computers that could be very powerful，though they are tiny in size．These computers could be incorporated （并入） into everyday objects，including electrical appliances （电器），clothes and even the human body．We will be able to use computers in new and unimaginable ways．They will become a part of our lives rather than simply being a box that is used only for specific purposes，such as work．
Quantum computing and nanotechnology will be able to play new roles，which will make us live greener lives，as well as enjoy better health and happier lives．
21．Which of the following can NOT describe the computer of the future properly？D

11．We always can see firefighters holding a hose（水管）outside of a burning building，but the Golden Eagles Hotshots don't fight fires quite that way．When they go into action，you may not even see a fire truck．
The Hotshots are firefighters who battle fires in wilderness areas．But don't think you'll only find them in their home state California．Wherever there is a national wildfire emergency，the Golden Eagles Hotshots could be there．
But these firefighters don't work the same way as firefighters in a big city．They work in areas where there are large numbers of trees，bushes，and grass．They climb up and down steep hills to clear brush and burnable debris（残骸）．They sometimes use water，but they often fight fire with fire!
They do that by lighting what are called"backfires，"which are small，controlled fires that burn up fuel in the path of larger wildfires．That way，when the wildfire gets there，it has nothing to burn and nowhere to go，because all the burnable fuel has already gone up in smoke．
The Hotshots also clear away fuel using old fashioned hard work．For example，they use a saw to cut away trees and heavy brush that could catch fire．
Of course there are times when the Golden Eagles Hotshots do have trucks to supply water to the fires．But the water is limited，and these guys have to rely on hard work more than anything．Physical fitness is very important．They have to be in great physical shapes to handle steep hills and difficult terrain（地形）while carrying a 60-pound pack．
The Golden Eagles Hotshots definitely work hard for their pay．But thanks to their efforts，many lives have been saved，many houses have not been burned，and countless trees are still standing．

8．Why is setting goals important？（36）F Instead of just letting life happen to you，goals allow you to make your life happen．
Successful people imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals．（37）E It's like having a map to show you where you want to go．Think of it this way．There are two drivers．One has a destination in mind which can be found on a map．She can drive straight there surely without any wasted time of wrong turns．The other driver has no goal，or destination or map．She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver，but she drives aimlessly around，never getting anywhere，just using up gas．Which driver do you want to be？

B．Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it．
C．It's up to you to find out what your goals really are．
D．It's difficult for a driver to reach his destination without a map．
E．By setting goals you are taking control of your life．
F．Because goals can help you do，be，and experience everything you want in life．
G．Because everybody should have a goal in his mind．
