14．Running like the wind，roaring （咆哮） like thunder，tigers have long been feared and respected as a king of the animal world．But last week a report said that there are no more than 30wild tigers left in south China．
This was the conclusion of a team of scientists from China's State Forestry Administration and the World Nature Fund．
The South China tiger，also known as the Chinese tiger，is native to southern China．In the 1950's，there were over 4000tigers found in mountain forests in the country．But due to the destruction of their natural habitat and uncontrolled hunting，it has been pushed on to the list of the world's top ten most endangered species．
Sixty-six of the big cats can be found in the cages of a dozen zoos around China．But they are nothing like their wild cousins．They have lost their natural skills such as hunting and killing．If they were set free they could not look after themselves．
"Breeding has damaged the quality of the species"，said Pei Enle，deputy director of the Shanghai Zoo．
To reintroduce the species into the wild，the country started a programme to send five to ten young tigers to South Africa．Four of them have already arrived．Progress has been made as two elder tigers have recovered some of their instincts（本能） and can hunt wild animals by themselves at the African base．
"South Africans are very experienced in reintroducing big animals to the wild．The country has very good natural conditions for the tigers to learn in"，said Lu Jun，office director of the National Wildlife Research and Development Center．"We tried in Fujian Province，but it was not successful as there was not a complete ecochain（生物链） and there was a lack of space．"
The tigers should return to China in 2016when the reservations in Fujian are ready．
63．What is the main reason for the South China tiger becoming endangered？D
A．Because it has lost its natural instincts．
B．Because there is not a complete ecochain．
C．Because there is no space for it．
D．Because uncontrolled hunting has destroyed its natural living conditions．
64．How is the programme of sending several tigers to South Africa getting on？C
A．Its effect still remains to be seen．
B．Two tigers can already compete with their wild cousins．
C．Some of the tigers are already on the road to recovering their natural skills．
D．The tigers should be able to recover their instincts completely by 2007．
65．By saying"but they are nothing like their wild cousins"，the writer means thatB．
A．they are no longer feared by other wild animals
B．they don't know how to hunt or kill
C．a complete change has resulted in the species because of breeding
D．to reintroduce them into the wild has become an urgent task
66．Which one is NOT the reasons for South Africa being chosen as the training place？A
A．The tigers can hunt wild animals by themselves at the African base．
B．South Africans are skilled at dealing with the tigers．
C．There is a complete ecochain and enough space there．
D．The country has good natural conditions for the tigers to learn in．

13．Are you stressed out，scared or worried all the time？Do you avoid going to certain places，seeing friends or doing certain things because of your worries？Do your worries keep you awake at night？If you've answered yes，you may be suffering from anxiety．Anxiety is a normal and necessary part of life．Anxiety is your brain's way of telling you about danger．It is anxiety which helps you jump out of the way if a car is speeding towards you．But if it gets out of hand，anxiety can get in the way of your getting on with life and can become a real problem．If this is the case for you，treatment may be a helpful way for you to get your anxiety under control．
Anxiety is a normal part of life．Some people may feel uneasy if moving to a new place and some may get overly anxious in certain situations．There are lots of reasons for this．One main reason is after a stressful thing which has happened in your life．So，if you are involved in a car crash，it's quite likely that you will be more worried than other people around cars and driving．
Being anxious also probably runs in families．If your parents suffer from anxiety then you are more likely to be anxious too．This is probably partly due to genetics，and partly because of how things are when you're growing up．
Even though people don't talk about it much，anxiety is one of the most common mental health problems．About 1in 4people will have an anxiety problem at some time in their life．
If you have an anxiety problem it's hard for other people to understand why something that doesn't worry them，like being in a crowd of people，can be so scary for you．This can make you feel separated and lonely，as may become worse and worse．
The good news is there are lots of excellent treatments available for anxiety．These include talking therapies （疗法） and drugs．

A couple of month ago，I went to Qingdao with my parents．I learned that it lied in the eastern part of Shandong Province．It was far away from the city in what we lived，so when we got there it was getting dark．When we got off the bus，the wind was so much heavy that we all felt very cold．Then we took a taxi to the hotel we have ordered．The next morning，they had some seafood for breakfast，which tasted deliciously．Then we went for walk in the park，see a few kites flying high in the sky．We spent a few days there．Once we were tired，we felt very happy．

5．Malaria （疟疾），the world's most widespread parasitic （寄生虫引起的） disease，kills as many as three million people every year-almost all of whom are under five，very poor，and African．In most years，more than five hundred million cases of illness result from the disease，although exact numbers are difficult to assess because many people don't （or can't） seek care．It is not unusual for a family earning less than two hundred dollars a year to spend a quarter of its income on malaria treatment，and what they often get no longer works．In countries like Tanzania，Mozambique，and the Gambia，no family，village，hospital，or workplace can remain unaffected for long．
Malaria starts suddenly，with violent chills，which are soon followed by an intense fever and，often，headaches．As the parasites multiply，they take over the entire body．Malaria parasites live by eating the red blood cells they infect （感染）．They can also attach themselves to blood vessels in the brain．If it doesn't kill you，malaria can happen again and again for years．The disease passed on to humans by female mosquitoes infected with one of four species of parasite．Together，the mosquito and the parasite are the most deadly couple in the history of the earth-and one of the most successful．Malaria has five thousand genes，and its ability to change rapidly to defend itself and resist new drugs has made it nearly impossible to control．Studies show that mosquitoes are passing on the virus more frequently，and there are more outbreaks in cities with large populations．Some of the disease's spread is due to global warming．
For decades，the first-choice treatment for malaria parasites in Africa has been chloroquine，a chemical which is very cheap and easy to make．Unfortunately，in most parts of the world，malaria parasites have become resistant to it．Successful alternatives that help prevent resistance are already available，but they have been in short supply and are very expensive．If these drugs should fail，nobody knows what would come next．
