How can we know that the birds we see in the South in the winter are the same ones that come north in the spring? Once John J. Audubon, a bird
16
(love), wondered about this. Every year he
17
(watch) a pair of little phoebes nesting in the same place. He decided to put tiny silver bands(箍) on
18
legs. The next spring, the birds
19
the bands came back in the very same place. The phoebe, it was learned, spent winter
20
it was warm enough to find food. Today there are hundreds of birdbanders all over America.
The government of the U.S. has a special birdbanding department
21
makes all the birdbands. The bands do not hurt the birds, as they are made
22
aluminium and are very light. Each band has
23
special number. On each band are these words: “Inform Fish and Wildlife Service, Washington, D.C”.
Anyone who finds a dead bird with a band on its legs
24
(ask) to send the band to Washington with a note
25
(tell) where the bird was found. In this way naturalists add to their knowledge of the habits and needs of birds.

I’m someone who never went to university but always thought about it. The only way I
36
was listening to my children talk about their class and all the interesting things they were
37
. University was just a life-long
38
of mine. I just turned sixty-four years old in September. I still thought about that old dream

one day when there was an Advanced-Age

41
.
The day finally arrived－my first day of school. As I
42
there, my mind was filled with

thoughts, “What am I doing? I’m not smart enough to go to university. The
44
will laugh when they see me in class. I probably won’t live long enough to get a

. Maybe I should just turn the car around and go home.”

47
a little and read the words next to his picture. “ Live your dreams. ” Was Kermit speaking me? I didn’t turn the car around.
I drove a little
48
on up the highway and there was another
49
. This one had a picture of Albert Einstein with his tongue
50
out. A line read, “As a student, he was no Einstein. ” And there was a word in red, “ Confidence”. A new attitude was
51
inside me.
I was now
52
the gate of the university and there
53
still another billboard. This one showed a photograph of a proud
54
in a cap and gown. Under the picture was her
55
, Nola Ochs, aged 95. Oldest University Graduate. Below it was the words, “ Live Life ”. At that moment, my outlook changed completely.

Wilderness
“In wilderness (荒野) is the preservation of the world. ” This is a famous saying from a writer regarded as one of the fathers of environmentalism. The frequency with which it is borrowed mirrors a heated debate on environmental protection: whether to place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved.
As John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out, there is a strong appeal in images of the wild, the untouched; more than anything else, they speak of the nature that many people value most dearly. The urge to leave the subject of such images untouched is strong, and the danger exploitation (开发) brings to such landscapes (景观) is real. Some of these wildernesses also perform functions that humans need—the rainforests, for example, store carbon in vast quantities. To Mr. Sauven, these “ecosystem services”far outweigh the gains from exploitation.
Lee Lane, a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute, takes the opposing view. He acknowledges that wildernesses do provide useful services, such as water conservation. But that is not, he argues, a reason to avoid all human presence, or indeed commercial and industrial exploitation. There are ever more people on the Earth, and they reasonably and rightfully want to have better lives, rather than merely struggle for survival. While the ways of using resources have improved, there is still a growing need for raw materials, and some wildernesses contain them in abundance. If they can be tapped without reducing the services those wildernesses provide, the argument goes, there is no further reason not to do so. Being untouched is not, in itself, a characteristic worth valuing above all others.
I look forward to seeing these views taken further, and to their being challenged by the other participants. One challenge that suggests itself to me is that both cases need to take on the question of spiritual value a little more directly. And there is a practical question as to whether wildernesses can be exploited without harm.
This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings, but also the guidance of reason. What position wilderness should enjoy in the preservation of the world obviously deserves much more serious thinking.
1. John Sauven holds that .
A. many people value nature too much
B. exploitation of wildernesses is harmful
C. wildernesses provide humans with necessities
D. the urge to develop the ecosystem services is strong
2. What is the main idea of Para. 3?
A. The exploitation is necessary for the poor people.
B. Wildernesses cannot guarantee better use of raw materials.
C. Useful services of wildernesses are not the reason for no exploitation.
D. All the characteristics concerning the exploitation should be treated equally.
3. What is the author’s attitude towards this debate?
A. Objective.B. Disapproving.C. Sceptical.D. Optimistic.
4. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub- point(次要点)C: Conclusion
