There is a fine line between a parent who is active and open-minded and one that doesn’t know when to let go (放手).

For the past two years, it’s gone like this:
Mother’s question: “Have you thought of taking an advanced placement class (高阶课程) so that you can earn college credit?”
Daughter’s
40 : “No, I’m not interested in that.”
………
I bit my lip a few times and Nicole shot me a few glares.
Two months ago, she was 41 to a great university. However, I was still the mother having a 42 time letting go. The night before the introductory meeting of the university, I had read the course catalog carefully and 43 courses which I thought looked good. We met on the campus the next afternoon, and Nicole’s face 44 with excitement. “I have had my entire schedule figured out,” she said. “Already?” I was astonished, 45 she should have discussed it with me. I examined the schedule. Nicole hadn’t taken a (an) 46 one of the courses I had suggested. Every course she had chosen 47 suited her interests. Just then I saw a mature, capable young woman with a 48 mind and the ability to shape her future. She no longer needed her mother 49 every decision she made. I felt proud, though still a bit 50 .

A
Zoo elephants don’t live as long as those in the wild, according to a study sure to cause debate about keeping the giant animals on display. Researchers compared the life spans of elephants in European zoos with those living in Amboseli National Park in Kenya and others working on a timber (木材) enterprise in Burma. Animals in the wild or in natural working conditions had life spans twice that or more of their relatives in zoos.
Animal
care activists have urged in recent years to discourage keeping elephants in
zoos, largely because of the lack of space and small numbers of animals that
can be kept in a group.
The
researchers found that the median life span for African elephants in
European zoos was 16.9 years, compared with 56 years for elephants who died of
natural causes in
There
is some good news, though. The life spans of zoo elephants have improved in
recent years, suggesting an improvement in their care and raising, but
“Protecting elephants in Africa and
There
are about 1,200 elephants in zoos, half in
Zoos usually lack large areas that elephants are used to in the wild, and that zoo animals often are alone or with one or two other unrelated animals, while in the wild they tend to live in related groups of 8 to 12 animals.

A. Zoo elephants don’t live as long as those in the wild.

Teaching Boys: Developing classroom practices that work
Amanda Keddie and Martin Mills
Bridges the gap between theory and practice to offer a practical and sustainable framework for teaching boys in classrooms of all levels.
Sales points
• Teaching boys remains one of the most concerned issues in education today
• Many books have been published analysing why boys perform less well than girls, and why some boys struggle at school. But they don’t show teachers what will work: this book does
• The authors offer a research-based framework for classroom strategies that work with boys―and don’t disadvantage girls
Description
Boys’ education continues to be a focus of public anxiety among teachers. Concern about boys’ general educational under-achievement and the impact this under-achievement has on the boys themselves, as well as on the broader society, continues to fuel disagreement and debate on the best approach to take in response.
Teaching Boys provides a framework for developing practical and sustainable ways to improve boys’ education.
The book indicates how what teachers do in the classroom can enable boys’ academic and social outcomes. With detailed case studies, Keddie & Mills outline a range of practical classroom strategies that will assist teachers to meet the challenge of teaching boys, without neglecting the girls in the process.

Everyone
has heard of the San Andreas fault (断层),
which constantly threatens California and the West Coast with earthquakes. But
how many people know about the equally serious New Madrid fault in
Between
December of 1811 and February of 1812, three major earthquakes occurred, all
centered around the town of
The
Mississippi River itself completely changed character, developing sudden rapids
and whirlpools (激流和漩涡). Several
times it changed its course, and once, according to some observers, it actually
appeared to run backwards. Few people were killed in the New Madrid
earthquakes, probably simply because few people lived in the area in 1811; but
the severity of the earthquakes are shown by the fact that the shock waves rang
bells in church towers in
Scientists
now know that
The New Madrid fault, on the other hand, is a vertical fault; at some point, possibly hundreds of millions of years ago, rock was pushed up toward the surface, probably by volcanoes under the surface. Suddenly, the volcanoes cooled and the rock collapsed, leaving huge cracks. Even now, the rock continues to settle downwards, and sudden sinking motions cause earthquakes in the region. The fault itself, a large crack in this layer of rock, with dozens of other cracks that split off from it, extends from northeast Arkansas through Missouri and into southern Illinois.
Scientists who have studied the New Madrid fault say there have been numerous smaller quakes in the area since 1811; these smaller quakes indicate that larger ones are probably coming, but the scientists say they have no method of predicting when a large earthquake will occur.
64. This passage is mainly about ________.
A. the New Madrid fault B. the San Andreas
C. the causes of faults D. current scientific knowledge about faults
65. Which of the following pictures best describes the type of the New Madrid fault?
