They are in Yancheng,Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of birds and animals. The world’s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve is in them. More than 700 milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world,but every winter you can see some in the Red-crowned Cranes Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine,too. They are really good places for wildlife. Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals and birds is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also prevent flood. But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife.Luckily,more and more people are beginning to realize the important of wetlands and wildlife. Every year,on February 2nd,many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands.1. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are in the of China.A. eastB. southC. westD. north2. The World Wetlands Day is on .A. April 22B. June 25C. February 2D. March 223. We must protect wetlands because .A. they are home for wildlifeB. they can prevent floodC. they can offer food to the animals and birdsD. all of the above4. The best title for the passage is .A. China‘s Wetlands Have All Entered the World’s ListB. Wetlands—Home for Wildlife and Human BeingsC. Special Animals in the Chinese Yellow Sea WetlandsD. Wetlands—Valuable Recourses(珍贵资源)of Land on the EarthBDear Amy,I couldn’t read your two e-mails until today because my computer was broken. I’m sorry to hear about your problem, but I’m glad you’re feeling better and are recovering(康复). I’m surprised that in China someone’s liver(肝脏) matched yours! This is really a moving story– a stranger donated part of his liver to a girl he doesn’t even know!You’re right. We shouldn’t care too much about our weight. I’m happy you stopped taking those weight-loss pills. From your photo I can see you are now looking very well in the hospital. To keep slim is important, especially for an actress, but nothing is more important than health. Your doctor’s advice is indeed very good– exercise for at least half an hour every day and eat lots of fruit and vegetables.It’s not only in your country. It’s the same here with us Chinese–many people are always going on diets or taking weight-loss pills, which are often dangerous. But in fact, some of them are not overweight(超重) at all. I hope these people can learn something from your story. Hope you will leave hospital as soon as possible.LoveXXX5. Who does “a girl” in the letter refer to?.A. The writer of the letter.B. Amy.C.

Choose the best answer. 5%Millions of people from all over the world visit the state of Utah every year. One reason is that there are many national parks. These are areas of great natural beauty that are protected by the United States government. More than three hundred fifty national parks can be found in the United States. Today we will visit four of them -- all in the state Of Utah. These parks include huge colored rock formations(岩屋), rivers, waterfalls, beautiful trees, other plants and many different kinds of wild animals.Arches National Park is near the town of Moab in eastern Utah. Experts say this park has the greatest number of arches of any similar geographic area in the world. Arches are formations that look like half a circle above an opening or hole in a rock. Arches can also appear as curved bridges between two large rocks.Canyonlands National Park is a wild, lonely area of rocks, rivers and desert plants. Only Native Americans, cowboys, and explorers entered this area before the park was established in nineteen sixty-four. Even today, it is difficult to walk or ride through the park. The roads are still made of dirt. Driving requires a special vehicle. The National Park Service says Canyonlands National Park is wild America..Bryce Canyon National Park is in southern Utah. The rock formations there are the result of deposits (沉淀物) made by ancient lakes and rivers over a period of about twenty million years. The walls and cliffs of Bryce Canyon once were completely covered with water.The fourth and final park we will visit today is Zion National Park. It is not far from Bryce. But it is very different. About three million people visit the park each year. Zion National Park is an area of huge rocks that were cut through by a river. The area is really a desert, receiving only about thirty-five centimeters of rain a year.1.

I am a sophomore studying in Rome, Italy with the American Institute for Foreign Study (AIFS). Now we are in Florence for our three-week visit and I am having an amazing time!I left John F. Kennedy International Airport on Tuesday, January 15, 2009. First, I traveled to London which was quite an experience. To be exact, I am used to big cities. I am used to watching my purse and taking care of myself. London also had a lot of the same products that we can find in America. I stayed in a Holiday Inn so things really were not all that different for me, except for the accent and currency.When I arrived in Italy that Friday, the 18th, I slowly began to understand the meaning of culture shock. Suddenly, I was in an area where everyone knew what to do and what to say and I had absolutely no idea. Now I do understand and speak Italian, but not like a true Italian from Italy.Europeans have their own way of doing things and all of a sudden, I was a foreigner among people who looked exactly like me. The worst part of the whole first day was that I knew exactly what I wanted to say but was too nervous to speak to them; I was afraid of messing up what I wanted to say.Having been here a week already, I have felt as though this is my home. Studying abroad is very different from living away from home at college. At least in America I can get shaving cream and my favorite breakfast cereal. Here in Italy I have to settle for their products and their way of doing things. I'm used to everything being open from at least 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., maybe 10 p.m. if you are lucky, but here the shops close every single day at around 1 p.m. and re-open at 2:30 p.m.And the time difference! Italy is six hours ahead of the New York, so talking to friends and family is a challenge. However, it was a little difficult at first but it gets easier every day. Once you feel comfortable about it, you have got the first step for settling down.1. How do I feel the life here in Italy?A. difficult and boringB. interesting but dangerousC. hard but rewardingD. similar but happy2. I thought "I was a foreigner among people" mainly because of__________.A. my different ways of doing thingsB. my different looksC. my different living habitsD. my different accent3. Which place do I come from?A. LondonB. FlorenceC. RomeD. New Yorkthe 4slowlymake reservations for hotel rooms at that time.1. A. but B. or C. if D. not2. A. before B. to C. up D. with3. A. leaves B. tree C. wood D. branches4. A. corrected B. seen C. happened D. looked5. A. coasts B. while C. river D. way6. A. others B. other C. the other D. anotherE.

And in life, did you know that yourin life,拒绝)At first everything was great. Since I edit articles for a university, I spent most of my time sitting in front of a monitor and typing busily at the keyboard. Through the Internet I had access to all the information I could possibly want.It was really good being at home, too. I didn't have to Waste any time travelling, and I could stop and make myself a cup of coffee or a sandwich if I wanted to ---I was quite free and happy. But then things started to change. I put onweight because I wasn't going out as much as I had before. I wear jogging suits and trainers instead of smart dresses because they are more comfortable. My friends stopped telephoning because I didn't meet them on the bus or in the cafeteria.I knew something had to change. I needed to get back to my office. So, I telephoned my boss, "Please let me go back to the office. I am going mad on my own."And then goodness, he did. Teleworking may become popular in the future but not for me.1.
