    They’re WILD animals

    By Ernst-Ulrich Franzen

    March 11, 2010 (3) Comments

    The story about the woman who lost some fingers while feeding a bear at a zoo in Manitowoc, after she ignored warnings and barriers(栅栏), reminded me of the story I heard about a couple who put their baby on the back of a wild horse in South Dakota to get a really cute picture. We all do silly things at times — no one is immune — but treating wild animals as lovely pets has to fall into a special category. Teddy bears and Disney movies aren’t actually representative of real bears.

    Don’t you think that maybe, just maybe some alcohol was involved?

    2. tk421 - Mar 11, 2010 11:09 AM

    It was already approved that alcohol was involved. Stories that begin with a drunk person saying “Hey, I got an idea, watch this!” rarely end well.

    3. Tristan Kloss - Mar 11, 2010 11:41 AM

    Alcohol certainly isn’t involved when people decide to keep “pets” like chimpanzees, baby tigers, etc. Stupidity, definitely. Dogs are pets because of thousands of years of domestication. Even farm animals, which have been kept by humans for thousands of years as well, aren’t let in the house. So why keep animals that treat human contact with, at best, indifference(冷淡、不在乎) and, at worst, violence?

    60．In Ernst-Ulrich Franzen’s opinion, the woman lost her fingers because ________.

    A. the zoo keepers didn’t warn her of the danger       

    B. she didn’t know the bear was a wild animal

    C. she was somehow influenced by cartoon characters

    D. she climbed over the barriers and angered the bear

    61．TosaLeft thinks the wounded woman ________.

    A. may have been drunk                                          B. may be a little stupid

    C. was addicted to wine                                           D. fed wine to the bear

    62．tk421 means a drunk person ________.

    A. should be forbidden to enter the zoo                     B. usually gets himself into trouble

    C. is often fond of making up stories                         D. usually likes to show himself off

    63．What does Tristan Kloss think of people treating wild animals as pets?

    A. Kind.                       B. Illegal.                                   C. Loving.                           D. Stupid.

    How do you know if your home is an easy aim for thefts(偷窃)? Around the holidays, many families don’t consider taking proper measures to prevent their homes from suffering holiday thefts. With just a few simple steps, you can better make sure of the safety of your home during all of the holiday celebrations. Here are a few tips for making it difficult to tell you are away from home.
    ● Either have a trusted neighbor pick up your mail and newspapers, or tell your mailperson to hold your mail until you return. Nothing says “Hey, we are not home!” like when your postbox is filled with all kinds of mails and you have many different newspapers in your driveway.
    ● Set several different lights in your house on random timers (随机定时器)。Don’t leave your outdoor lights on all the time. Instead, put your outside lights on timers to be on during the nights.  If an outdoor light remains on for days at a time, it means that nobody is home to turn it off.
    ● If you have pets that you are not taking with you on vacation, leave them with a friend, rather than having someone come into your house every day to take care of them. When thefts see a neighbor or friend entering your house every day, they will know you are not home.
    ● Close all your curtains when you leave town. This is effective to deter possible thefts, as no one can see what is in your house. If they don’t know what there is to take, then the risk is even greater for them to break in.
    ● This article just has suggested a few tips to help you keep your house safe while you are on holiday. Nothing can truly protect your home unless you have it monitored by a professional home security system.
    【小题1】. What is the main idea of the passage?

    A．to tell us how to prevent the thefts around the holidays
    B．to let the outdoor lights on all the time
    C．to tell us many families suffering from the thefts while they are on holiday
    D．to tell you to have your neighbor go to your house to take care of your pet.
    【小题2】.If you are on holiday in other places, the lights in your house should________.
    A. be lit in an irregular way              B. be kept on all the night
    C. be replaced by random timers         D be turned on only once one day
    【小题3】.To make your home is well protected, what does the writer advise you to do?
    A．Have all the curtains closedB．Stop your mail service at once

    A．be very popular with familiesB．have no effect on preventing thefts

         My bookshelves are full of dust-and with good reason. When it comes to cleaning that part of my
    home, I suffer from the most serious case of avoidance (回避反应症).
         The thing is this: when I do set out to clean and re-organize my books, which seldom happens, I
    place myself into a really bad situation. No sooner do I take a title from the shelf, blow off the dust, and
    wipe down the cover than I find myself sitting on the floor with legs crossed and my back against the
    wall. Pretty soon books get piled up on my legs as I am reunited with old friends.
         It is as if these books have voices, and each wants to say its piece. "Remember me? I was given to
    you when you went into the Navy, so that you would never lack for companionship," one whispers.
    Another says, "I was your first book of poems, given to you before you learned to love poetry." And
    a third, "I was the book that made history so attractive to you."
         Perhaps the greatest pleasure of re-organizing my books are the surprises - or better said,
    reunions-that occur. During my latest book-cleaning adventure, I found one that had fallen behind the
    shelf: "Tales of Edgar Allan Poe." Not an unusual title, but the words written on the first page made it
    very special: "With Love from Mom and Dad, Christmas 1965." What's this? A book on the physics
    of lasers().It is filled with mathematical statements, and I had bought it at a library sale when I was 12,
    not long after the laser had been invented. I couldn't understand a bit of it, but I did learn what "laser"
    meant.
         What I end up with when I empty my bookshelves is a cross-section (横剖面) of my personal
    history. It's like a road cut where one sees all the layers of rock going back through time to the beginning
    of the simplest life forms. The books I've read-and kept-are not just old friends. They are my résumé ?
    1.What could be said about the author?
    A. He is too busy to tidy up his bookshelves.  
    B. He considers his books treasured possessions.
    C. He has made a lot of notes in his books.    
    D. He is a lover of science books.
    2. By saying that his books have voices, the author means            .
    A. hey bring back happy memories  
    B. they are recorded in human voice
    C. they say a lot about human history  
    D. they offer good topics for discussion
    3.What does the author enjoy most from re-organizing his books?
    A. Finding some missing books.          
    B. Putting books in good order.
    C. Learning something new from the books.
    D. Rediscovering interesting stories behind some books.
    4. The underlined word "résumé" in the last paragraph probably means __________.
    A. personal history  
    B. precious notes
    C. good companion
    D. imply life forms

         Inside the pleasingly fragrant cafe, So All May Eat(SAME) in downtown Denver ,the spirit of
    generosity(慷慨)is instantly noticeable :A donation box stands in place of a cash register. Customers
    here pay only what they can afford, no questions asked. A risky business plan, perhaps, but SAME Caf?
    has done one unchangeable thing in the Mile High City for six years: Open only at midday, the restaurant

    2006. With his wife Libby. Previously volunteering at soup kitchens, the Birkys were dissatisfied with the
    often unhealthy meals they served there. "We wanted to offer quality food in a restaurant where everyone
    felt comfortable ,regardless of their circumstances," Birky says. SAME's special lunch menu changes daily and most food materials are natural and grown by local farmers. The cafe now averages 65 to 70
    customers (and eight volunteers) a day. And the spirit of generosity behind the project appears to be
    spreading. In early 2007,one volunteer who had cleared snow for his meals during the long winter said
    goodbye to the Birkys," He said he was going to New Orleans to help with the hurricane clear up," says
    Birky. 68.What can we learn about the soup kitchens the Birkys previously worked for?
