William Lindesay, well-knwn Great Wall expert and cnservatinist, and his wife Wu Qi have traveled acrss the glbe by the back paths, prviding their sns Jimmy and Tmmy a unique envirnment fr persnal grwth.
Sunhats, backpacks, sneakers and trekking ples—these are the day-t-day must-haves f the family. This East-meets-West cuple started traveling while their yunger sn was still a baby in 2003. Mst f their trips are far frm the ht spts recmmended by travel guidebks—heritage study in the Mnglian deserts, a 53-kilmeter hiking tur f New Zealand, a ne-day climb f three English summits and a six-day train ride frm Beijing t Mscw.
“Real travel may be hard, uncertain, uncmfrtable, but there’s a feel-gd factr when yu pass a test f sme kind,” Lindesay wrte in the family’s newly published travel memir Pages f Discvery.
Lindesay attaches great imprtance t learning ut f the classrm, saying that children might scre well n schl tests, but that experience f the wrld utside, in distant lands, with different languages, scripts, plitical structures, and religius beliefs, is the real testing grund.
Children in this internatinal family did nt have the same pressure t perfrm n schl tests, but they had “hmewrk” n the rad. Wu asked her sns t write travel diaries, cllect tickets, draw maps and summarize travel tips. She says such habits, thugh they might nt directly imprve test scres, will pay dividends in later life.
These experiences certainly shaped their sns’ characters and influenced their chsen study at university. One read wrld histry the ther internatinal relatins. The tw brthers als share an interest in histrical mnuments, and the Great Wall in particular. They are nw planning t fllw in their father’s ftsteps with a new 4,500-km hike n the Great Wall.
“My parents view the wrld as a big classrm, and my brther and I are the biggest beneficiaries,” Jimmy says.
4. Which f the fllwing best describes their trips acrss the wrld?
A. Cmplicated and dangerus.B. Unique yet stressful.
C. Challenging yet educatinal.D. Entertaining and rewarding.
5. What can we infer abut the cuple frm the text?
A. They think little f schl educatin.
B. They believe travel prvides real educatin.
C. They require their sns t fllw their career path.
D. They dn’t expect their sns t perfrm well n schl tests.
6. What d the underlined wrds “pay dividends” mean in paragraph 5?
A. Bring advantages.B. Pay a price.
C. Imprve scres.D. Make mistakes.
7. What des the family’s stry tell us?
A. Rads were made fr jurneys nt destinatin.
B. N rad is lng with gd cmpany.
C. A jurney f a thusand miles begins with a single step.
D. It is better t travel 10,000 miles than t read 10,000 bks.

There shuld be n dubt in anyne’s mind that the influence f media is grwing strnger and strnger as time passes by. If yu have nticed, the speed at which news travels arund the wrld has becme faster with the develpment and advancement in technlgy. Media are actually influencing peple in different ways.
Whether yu admit it r nt, watching mvies and prgrams n the televisin r ur laptp, ipad and ther mbile devices as we relax takes us away int this different kingdm—that is, there are parts in ur being that feel we are the nes in the mvie and smetimes we even feel what they are feeling as we get caught in the emtinal excitement. The effect f media des nt stp when the mvie r prgram ends. And this effect might just be the cause f behaviral changes in peple.
With actin films, children tend t fllw the mvie her, leading them t vilent (暴力的) acts, thinking that it is acceptable because his her became successful in the end. There are cartn prgrams that shw acts f vilence and dishnest acts against thers. In return, children tend t cpy the characters and think that cheating ther peple is a way t deal with their prblems. They learn t transfer these ill behavirs t friends.
There are sme televisin shws and mvies that attempt t create an atmsphere t change the view f peple twards scial issues such as racial discriminatin (种族歧视). In the minds f ther peple, the effect can be fr the better, but sme unfrtunately fr the wrse.
There had been instances in the past that yung peple drunk drive cpying their favrite actress. There was als a case where smebdy set a subway ticket bth n fire because he saw it in his favrite film. These are just a few examples f the disturbing influence f media n peple’s behavir.
An explanatin t these acts is that these peple culd nt distinguish fantasy frm reality. They get caught up in the kingdm f what they had been watching and the images and scenes becme deeply rted in their minds.
S the media is largely respnsible fr giving peple false ideas and unhealthy pictures, which lead t misbehavir against ther peple, and can create a dangerus cycle amng individuals as they attempt t d the same r even wrse things t thers. The sad reality is that n ne is turning ff their televisins r discnnecting frm these influences. The nly way t change is when peple n lnger buy int it, demand it, and watch it.
8. What des the authr want t tell us in paragraph 2?
A. What it is that changes ur emtin.
B. Hw media affect peple’s behavir.
C. Why we are attracted by mvies and prgrams.
D. Whether peple feel being taken away frm the reality.
9. Why d sme peple act badly, accrding t the authr?
A. They are just the vilent peple.
B. They hpe t slve scial prblems.
C. They actually can’t tell fantasy frm reality.
D. They want t change peple’s attitudes twards media.
10. What’s the authr’s attitude twards media?
A. Puzzled.B. Critical.C. Supprtive.D. Cautius.
11. The authr supprts his ideas mainly by _______.
A. making cmparisns and giving examples
B. listing facts and giving research results
C. raising prblems and prviding slutins
D. shwing facts and presenting explanatins

Within the next 30 years, urban expansin (城市扩张) is due t result in up t 1.53 millin square kilmeters f new urbanized land, directly threatening 855 species, accrding t the findings f a new Yale-led study published in the Prceedings f the Natinal Academy f Sciences.
The study identified htspt cities that are expected t have particularly large impacts n species habitats. Many f these cities are in equatrial (赤道的) regins where urban grwth is in line with bidiverse habitats. The cities that present the greatest threat t species due t expansin are mstly lcated in the develping regins f sub-Saharan Africa, Suth America, Mesamerica, and Sutheast Asia.
The study relied n data frm Yale’s Map f Life—a cllectin f species distributin (分布) data used t mnitr, research, and create plicies that prtect species wrldwide. It als used recently develped land-use plans t estimate future habitat lss frm urban land expansin fr mre than 30,000 species glbally. It fund that urban land expansin is a significant driver f habitat lss fr abut ne-third f these.
This study thrws light n the need fr glbal prtectin effrts t include plicies t preserve species in urban lands. “Cities are actually part f the slutin,” said c-authr Karen Set. “We can build cities differently than we have in the past. They can be bidiversity centers and save land fr nature.”
“We are at a vital mment when the wrld’s gvernments are recnsidering their cmmitments t the Cnventin n Bilgical Diversity. This study is imprtant since it lets us quantify (量化), fr the first time, which specific species are mst threatened by urban grwth and where urban prtected areas are needed t preserve them,” said c-authr Rbert McDnald.
Despite the risk f species lss frm land expansin, the study highlights hw cities can practively prtect bidiversity, Set said. “The majrity f these places have yet t be built. Science-driven plicies that guide hw the cities f tmrrw get built will have an enrmus effect.”
12. What des the new study d?
A. It suggests the greatest threat t species.
B. It identifies htspt cities that need t stp urban expansin.
C. It demnstrates hw future urban expansin will impact species.
D. It estimates hw much new urbanized land will be in develping regins.
13. What rle des Yale’s Map f Life play in this study?
A. A plicy maker.B. A data prvider.C. A land-use planner.D. A publishing platfrm.
14. What can we learn frm the text?
A. Karen Set is ptimistic abut dealing with urban expansin.
B. A lt f cities have already been built as bidiversity centers.
C. The Cnventin n Bilgical Diversity is key t slving the prblem.
D. The wrld’s gvernments have taken measures t prevent urban land expansin.
15. What is a suitable title fr this text?
A. Urban expansin cannt be avided
B. Species habitats shuld be brught under cntrl
C. Cities can be part f the slutins t preserving species
D. The risk f species lss frm land expansin is terrifying
