Thats rewilding. Rewilding is ecological restoration. Rewilding offers hope for wildlife, humans and the pl
17、anet.Why is rewilding important and necessary? Our natural ecology is broken. The places where you would expect wildlife to exist have been reduced to wet deserts. The seabed has been destroyed and there have been no living creatures any more. Our wildlife is disappearing. Many wonderful species hav
18、e declined over the past century. Weve lost more of our large animals than any European country. We need keystone species. These vital species, including top predators (食肉动物), drive ecological processes. Their loss has worsened our living systems. Nature looks after us. Good natural ecology can prov

Many people are not interested, because we have got used to the lack of native

So we need your help! Make a donation.Help us bring back living systems and restore wild nature!With you

23、 warn people of the natural ecology.D. To convince people to change their mind.BFlying HighBarrington Irving made his historic flight and founded an educational non-profit-making organization. His message for kids: “The only thing that separates you from scientists is determination, hard work and a
24、strong liking for what you want to achieve.” The secret, he believes, is having a dream in the first place, and that starts with learning experiences that inspire kids to build careers.The moment of inspiration for Irving came at the age of 15 in his parents bookstore. One customer, a professional p
25、ilot, asked Irving if hed thought about becoming a pilot. “I told him I didnt think I was smart enough; but the next day he took me to the cockpit (驾驶舱) of the commercial airplane he flew, and just like that I was hooked.”To follow his dream, Irving turned down a football scholarship to the Universi
26、ty of Florida. He washed airplanes to earn money for a flight school and increased his flying skills by practising at home on a $40 flight simulator (模拟) video game. Then another dream took hold: flying alone around the world. He faced more than 50 rejections for sponsorship before convincing some c
27、ompanies to donate aircraft components. He took off with no weather radar, no de-icing system, and just $30 in his pocket. “I like to do things people say I cant do.”After 97 days, 26 stops and dozens of thunderstorms, he touched down to a cheering crowd in Miami. “It was seeing so many young people
28、 watching and listening that pushed me into giving back with my knowledge and experience.” Irving has been doing it ever since. He set up his non-profit-making organization, Experience Aviation (航空), aiming to increase the numbers of youth in aviation and science-related careers. Kids attend program
29、mes dealing with hands-on robotics projects and flight simulator challenges.“We want to create chances for students to accomplish something amazing,” he notes. Perhaps Irvings most powerful educational tool is the example his own life provides. After landing his record-breaking flight at age 23, he
30、said, “Everyone told me I was too young, that I didnt have enough experience, strength, or knowledge. They told me it would take forever and Id never come home. Well . guess what?” 34. According to Irving, what is the most important in achieving success? A. Meeting people who provide unexpected help
31、.B. Getting a chance to study technical knowledge.C. Having something specific that you want to accomplish.D. Developing communication with different organizations.35. What Irving replied to the pilot in the bookstore suggested that _. A. he felt embarrassed to refuse the offerB. he was doubtful abo
32、ut his own abilitiesC. he knew his efforts would be rewardedD. he realized immediately how lucky he was36. What can we learn about Irving in Paragraph 3? A. He chose to reduce his budget as low as possible.B. He was finally given enough money to keep going. C. He got the most useful flying tips from
33、 his video game.D. He took on a further challenge after he knew how to fly.37. Irving set up his non-profit-making organization because _.A. he hoped to become a public figureB. he expected to start a business in other fieldsC. he saw there was great interest in what he was doingD. he thought he cou
34、ld teach more than flight schools couldCTraining the BrainPeople who can accomplish unbelievable tasks, such as memorizing thousands of random numbers in under an hour, state that they just have normal brains. Some memory superstars compete in Olympic-like World Memory Championships. These mental at
35、hletes, or MAs for short, can memorize names of dozens of strangers in a few minutes or any poem handed them. Ed Cooke, a 24-year-old MA, explains they see themselves as participants rescuing the long-lost art of memory training. These techniques existed not to recall useless information, but to cut
36、 into the brain basic text and ideas.A study in the journal Nature examined eight people who finished near the top of the World Memory Championships. The scientists examined whether their brains were fundamentally different from everyone elses or whether they were simply making better use of memoriz
37、ing abilities we all possess. They put the MAs and control subjects into brain scanners and had them memorize numbers and photographs. The result surprised everyone. The brains of the MAs and those of the control subjects were indistinguishable. On every test, the MAs scored in the normal range. How
38、ever, when the scientists examined what part of the brain was used during a memory activity, they found the MAs relied more heavily on areas in the brain involved in spatial memory.MAs offer an explanation: anything can be fixed upon our memories and kept in order by constructing a building in the i
39、magination and filling it with pictures of what needs to be recalled. Dating back to the fifth century, the building is called a memory palace. Even as late as the fourteenth century, when there were copies of any text, scholars needed to remember what was read to them. Reading to remember requires
40、a different technique than speed reading. If something is made memorable, it has to be repeated. Until relatively recently, people read only a few books intensively (细致地) again and again, usually aloud. Today we read extensively, usually only once and without continuous focus.So the great difference
41、 is the ability to create impressive pictures in mind and to do it quickly. Using memory palaces, MAs create memorized pictures. For example, recombine the pictures to form unforgettable scenes such as the ways through a town. One competitor used his own body parts to help him memorize a 57,000-word
42、 dictionary.Anyone who wishes to train the mind needs first to create fantastical palaces in the imagination. Then they should cut each building into cubbyholes for memories. In a short amount of time, they will notice improvement with remembering things. To keep the skill sharp, MAs deliberately em
43、pty their palaces after competitions, so they can reuse them and they recommend that beginners do the same. 38. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that a mental athlete _. A. owns a brain that is larger in size B. shows a gift in mental ability tests C. uses the memorizing technique better D. depends les
44、s on the areas that control spatial memory39. Why does the author mention “speed reading” in Paragraph 3? A. To discuss the memorizing technique in the fifth century. B. To give the reason why people read only a few books carefully. C. To explain the text fourteenth century scholars had to remember.
45、 D. To compare the type of reading nowadays with that of earlier times.40. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4? A. There is a variety of unforgettable scenes. B. Memory palaces can be quickly forgotten. C. Impressive pictures are in actual buildings. D. One person probably has 57,000 body parts.41
46、. What does the underlined word “cubbyholes” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Small spaces. B. Blacks holes. C. Technical skills.D. Different numbers.DEarly or Later Day CareMany young parents are confused about whether their children should have early day care, and there have always been dif
47、ferent views on this subject.The British psychoanalyst John Bowlby believes that separation from parents during the sensitive “attachment” period from birth to three may scar a childs personality and lead to psychological problems in later life. Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlbys wor
48、k that children should not be subjected to day care before three because of the parental separation it causes, and many people do believe this.According to Bowlby, a great deal of psychological harm can occur when young children are separated from their parents. If they are left without touch for a while, they will have a higher stress level. Parents influence on their childrens well-being may ne
