Special Bridges Help Animals Cross the Road

―Reported by Sheila Carrick

Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side.

Most people know this joke. But recently, some people have been much more worried about how the grizzly bear (灰熊) and mountain lion can cross the road.

“Millions of animals die each year on U.S. roads,” the Federal Highway Administration reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U.S. today. The main reason? Roadkill.

“Ecopassages (生态通道)” may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths both over and under roads. “These ecopassages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid road accidents,” said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Protection Society.

But do animals actually use the ecopassages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an ecopassage that went under a highway. This showed that the lions used the passage.

Builders of ecopassages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals as different as salamanders (火蜥蜴) and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses.

The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might see an animal overpass!

 

60. The writer uses the example of “ocelots” to show that _______.

A. wild animals have become more dangerous

B. the driving conditions have improved greatly

C. the measure for protecting wildlife fails to work

D. an increasing number of animals are killed in road accidents

61. From the news story, we know an ecopassage is ________.

A. an underground path for cars                       B. a fence built for the safety of the area

C. a bridge for animals to get over a river          D. a path for animals to cross the road

62. When the writer says that animals seem “to be catching on”, he means ________.

A. animals begin to realize the dangers on the road   

60. D 通过“ocelots”的例子来说明前面“Millions of animals die each year on U.S. roads,”这句话,

61. D。 “Ecopassages (生态通道)” may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars帮助动物穿过马路而不被车碰撞

62. B 从 Animals seem to be catching on. Animals as different as salamanders (火蜥蜴) and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses.这句话可知动物在使用这些桥和路

63. D 让人们过马路时注意保护动物,不要碰撞到他们。

B. animals begin to learn to use ecopassages

C. animals are crossing the road in groups               D. animals are increasing in number

63. The writer asks visitors and drivers to look around when traveling because ________.

A. wild animals may attack cars                       B. wild animals may block the road

C. they may see wild animals in the park           D. they may see wild animals on ecopassages

  Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers.But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son:suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents.“The door to his room is always shut, ”Joanna noted.

  Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter.“She used to cuddle up(蜷伏)with me on the sofa and talk, ”said Mark.“Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something.Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady.The problem is figuring out which time is which.”

  Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds.“In fact, parents are first on the list, ”said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers.“This completely changes during the teen years, ”Riera explained.“They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”

  Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them.To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them.And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young.Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.

  本文谈论的是父母与孩子关系的问题。乔安娜和亨利发现他们的儿子与他们交谈少了而与朋友交谈多了。提娜与马克夫妇在他们14岁的女儿身上也发现了同样的问题。文章最后一段建议父母做孩子的朋友而不是管理者。
