The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my community. As a result, all students must sixty hours of service learning, they will not receive a diploma. Service learning is academic learning that also helps the community. of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student. a service experience, students must keep a journal(日志)and then write a about what they have learned.

Supporters claim that there are many of service learning. Perhaps most importantly, students are forced to think their own interests and become of the needs of others. Students are also able to learn real-life skills that responsibility, problem-solving, and working as part of a team. , students can explore possible careers service learning. For example, if a student wonders what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in an elementary school classroom a few afternoons each month.

there are many benefits, opponents (反对者) problems with the new requirement. First, they that the main reason students go to school is to learn core subjects and skills. Because service learning is time-consuming, students spend time studying the core subjects. Second, they believe that forcing students to work without goes against the law. By requiring service, the school takes away an individual's freedom to choose.

In my view, service learning is a great way to to the community, learn new skills, and explore different careers. , I don' t believe you should force people to help others – the to help must come from the heart. I think the best is one that gives students choices: a student should be able to choose sixty hours of independent study or sixty hours of service. Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility, and as young adults, we must learn to handle both wisely.

What will man be like in the future—in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.

Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller, so we may assume (假定) that man will continue to grow taller. Again, as time goes on, we shall have to use our brains more and more. This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular, the forehead will grow larger.

Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.

On the other hand, we are likely to make less use of our arms and legs, which, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.

But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer.

Perhaps all these give the impression that in the future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us.

1. What does the passage mainly tell us?

A. Man’s life will be different in the future.

B. Future man will look quite different from us.

C. Man is growing taller and uglier as time passes.

D. Man’s organs’ functions will be weaker.

2. What serves as the evidence that man is changing?

A. Man’s hair is getting thinner and thinner.

B. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.

C. Man’s arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.

D. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.

3. According to the passage, we can learn that ________.

A. human beings will become less attractive in the future

B. less use of a part of the body will become weaker

C. human beings hope for a change in the future life

D. future life is always predictable

It's true that many dads in the wild aren't interested in parenting, but there are some that work pretty hard to give their little ones a good start. Maybe one of these dads will make you remember your own dad!

The male giant water bug doesn’t seem to mind a heavy load on his back for his kids. The female puts about 100 to 150 eggs on the back of the male, and then she leaves. Once the female is gone, the male has to look after the eggs. It usually takes one to two weeks for the eggs to hatch. The father giant water bug jumps around to make sure the growing eggs get enough air and water. All this time he can't fly because of the weight of the eggs growing rapidly on his back.

Now let's turn to the male stickleback fish. When the mother leaves after laying her eggs, the father tends his young. If the young fish go too far away, their father helps with their safe return by carrying them back in his mouth. The male stickleback looks after all his young — as many as 100 — until they can live on their own.

A similar example can be found in emperor penguins living in cold areas. The male emperor penguin goes without food while looking after his egg until it hatches. For about 62 to 67 days, the egg stays on top of the father's feet, in very cold temperatures that drop down to -39° C. As a result, the father may lose nearly 50 percent of his body weight while waiting for his baby penguin to be born!

1. What do we know about the giant water bug?

A. It is unable to fly.

B. The eggs grow on the father's back.

C. The male must keep still to hatch the eggs.

D. The female looks after her eggs together with the male.

2. During the hatching period, the male emperor penguin _______________.

A. is unable to eat

B. is fed by the female

C. tries to lose some weight

D. can't stand the cold weather

3.What is the best title for the text?

A. Mr. Moms in the Wild

B. Animals Do Have Feelings

C. Nature Loves Us like Our Dad

D. Childbirth in the Animal Kingdom
