14．If you want to see a Matschie's tree kangaroo in its natural habitat，you will have to travel to Papua New Guinea，a small country located just to the north of Australia．The rainforest in the northeastern part of the country is the only place where this rare creature can be found．
Once there，it used to be easy to spot the kangaroo munching （咀嚼） on leaves high up in the trees．But now，villagers say it sometimes takes two days to find one．Over-hunting and loss of habitat are to blame for the animal's decline．
But rather than let the Matschie's tree kangaroo continue on the path to extinction，locals are taking steps to protect this endangered species．More than 35tribes （部落）have decided to set aside some of their land for conservation purposes．No hunting or destruction of habitat is allowed there．For tree kangaroos and other wildlife，it is a safe zone．
Dr．Dabek，a biologist at Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo，helped coordinate the effort to establish the conservation area，which is Papua New Guinea's first．She realized that the people had their own challenges to address before they could think about helping tree kangaroos．
Many schools in the rural region had been shut down because there were not enough teachers．With help from the Woodland Park Zoo and Conservation International，she set up a scholarship program for young people from the community to attend teaching school．Each teacher that receives the scholarship must go back to work in his or her village for at least six years．
She and her team also worked to educate community members about conservation．When they learnt that this region is the only place where the tree kangaroos live，one by one，each tribe agreed to set aside some land in order to protect the species．

43．Dr．Dabek set up the scholarship program in order toC．
A．offer financial help to schools in rural regions

9．In recent years in America，the mandatory sentencing（强制判刑） movement has really changed the US prison size．The mandatory sentencing movement typically stated the minimum number of prison years for certain crimes people committed．It swept the United States in the 1970s，driving the state prison population up from less than 200，000to about 1.4million today and made prisoning budgets the second-fastest-growing state expense，only second to Medic-aid．But the current sentencing reforms in a growing number of states are starting to reverse that trend-causing the prison population to decline by about 3.8percent since 2009．
Central to the state reforms is a relatively new and more complicated way of information analysis about the law-breaker-including criminal history，drug abuse（滥用） and instances of anti-social behavior-to assess the likelihood of that individual's committing a new crime．And by examining data，the states can revise policies to discourage them from going back to prison．
Many states have found that many people go back to prison not for committing new crimes but for technical mild violations（违反），like failing drug tests or abnormal behaviors due to mental problems．With that knowledge，these states have moved to less costly and more effective actions to replace jail stay．Today，they tend more to send these people for community service．
Some states are also jumping at what is known as the"justice reinvestment"approach，under which they channel significant sums of money into the existing programs on drug treatment and mental health，two main issues behind crimes for many law-breakers．
Despite the advantages of a risk-assessment approach，some states are still flying blind mainly because they don't have the resources to gather data．Moreover，a study has noted，handling high-risk and low-risk criminals in the same way is a big mistake，as"low risk individuals have an increased likelihood of committing crimes again when they receive treatment or services in the same programs as medium-and high-risk individuals．"

8．It was a cold night in Washington，D．C．，and I was heading back to the hotel when a man approached me．He asked if I would give him some money so he could get something to eat．I'd read the signs："Don't give money to beggars as most of them are swindlers．"So I shook my head and kept walking．
I wasn't prepared for a reply，but with no hesitation，he followed me and said，"I really am homeless and I really am hungry!You can come with me and watch me eat!"But I kept on walking．
The incident kept bothering me for the rest of the week．I had money in my pocket and it wouldn't have killed me to hand over a dollar or two even if he hadn't been a real beggar．On a freezing cold night，no less，I assumed the worst of a fellow human being．
Flying back to Anchorage，I couldn't help thinking of him．I tried to reason my failure to help by supposing government agencies，churches and charities were there to feed him．Besides，you're not supposed to give money to beggars．
Somewhere over Seattle，I started to write my weekly garden column for The Anchorage Daily News．Out of the blue，I came up with an idea．Bean's Cafe，a local charity service kitchen，feeds hundreds of hungry local people every day．Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row of vegetables or flowers in their gardens for Bean's？Plant a row for Bean's．It's clean and simple．
We didn't keep records back then，but the idea began to take off．Folks would fax me or call when they took something in．It's food for the spirit and comfort for my conscience．
In April 1995，the Garden Writers Association of America（GWAA） held their annual meeting in Anchorage and after learning our program，Plant a Row for Bean's became Plant a Row For The Hungry．The idea then was to have every member write or talk about planting a row for the hungry，which brought the program to national attention．
As more and more people participated，new variations cropped up．Many companies gave free seeds to customers and displayed the logo for the program．Donations poured in．It was then that I could really stop feeling guilty．

7．Dear Sir，
I have to travel every day from South Road to the airport．Two buses travel along their route：the number 49and number 16．But by the time the number 16bus reaches Souk Road it is always full，so I can't get on it．I have to wait for the number 49，because sometimes there are empty seats on it．
The timetable sys that there are buses from Souk Road to the airport every ten minutes．If this is so，why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day？
The regulations （规章） say that if there are empty seats on a bus，the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting．Why do the half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop？
The regulations say that no bus may carry more than 40seated passengers and 20standing passengers．Yesterday I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport．I counted the other passengers as they got off．There were 129of them．
It is clear that our bus companies break the regulations and think little of their passngers．Can nothing be done to make your service better？Yours，
Tired passenger
