Reading Comprehension
The bear is a classic and enduring American symbol for the benevolent wild.
We tend to think well of bears, viewing them as large, powerful, stubborn creatures
capable of mischief but somehow vaguely humorous and, like defensive tackles,
essentially good-hearted. However, when it comes to direct dealings with bears, our
behavior has not been especially benign. For better than three centuries we have been
hunting them, trapping them, setting dogs on them, clearing and leveling their natural
habitat. With the notable exception of grizzlies, bears have held up under this
harassment better than many less conspicuous, more mobile creatures. Although there
are fewer bears in the US than there were when Europeans first came to the continent,
they still remain reasonably numerous. Bears now exist in population pockets
scattered throughout most of their former range, which was just about all of the
wooded parts of the country. Bears have suffered from what is called civilization,
but they are outstanding exceptions to the generally held (but only sometimes true)
notion that people and wild beasts are incompatible. Take the most abundant US
species, the black bear for example. There is little evidence that black bears shy away
from civilized areas or that, like good Sierra Clubbers, they find them psychologically,
morally and esthetically repugnant. To the contrary, given any encouragement or even
tolerance, black bears tend to make a beeline for settlements and prosper there until
they are scragged or shooed away by frightened residents. Where this scragging and
shooing process has been suspended, as in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park,
black bears have lumbered in from all over the woods to live cheek by jowl, snout by
Winnebago, with people. (279 words)

During the second half of the nineteenth century, in the United States, both
the stimulus to produce landscape art and the subject of landscape altered appreciably
as the pressure of events surrounding the Civil War witnessed the emergence of a new
national consciousness. It was a time when certain fundamental religious beliefs were
assaulted by new scientific theory and when new critical writing, particularly those of
John Ruskin, exercised an important influence on art. The landscape painting from the
Ganz collection provide an opportunity to examine the shifts in taste and the
pluralities of style that characterized American landscape painting, especially in the
latter part of the century. In the early years of the nineteenth century American
landscape was closely associated with the republican ideals of the new nation and
took on significance in the popular imagination as a form of national propaganda.
Landscape painting was conceived of as a vehicle for the presentation of the new
republic’s unique historical and moral position in world history. This position was
supported by Thomas Cole, the dean of the Hudson River School, and was based on a
religious interpretation of wilderness themes. While the American concern for the
founding of a school of historical landscape was most assertive in the first half of the
century and was confirmed in such grandly ambitious paintings as Cafe’s famous
instructive moral one portraying the COURSE OF EMPIRE, the interest in creating a
national art based on American nature continued to influence the formal evolution of

dictionaries)。

Put an ice cube from your fridge into a glass of water. You have a piece of string(线) 10 centimeters long.
The problem is to take out that piece of ice with the help of the string. But you must not touch the ice with your
fingers.
You may ask your friends to try to do that when you are having dinner together. There is a saltcellar on the
table. You must use salt when you carry out this experiment.
First you put the string across the piece of ice. Then put some salt on the ice. Salt makes ice melt(融化). The
ice round the string will begin to melt. But when it melts, it will lose heat. The cold ice cube will make the salt
water freeze again.
After a minute or two you may raise the piece of string and with it you will raise your piece of ice!
This experiment can be very useful to you. If, for example, there is ice near the door of your house, you must

To call someone bird-brained in English means you think that person is silly
or stupid. But will this description soon disappear from use in the light of recent
research? It seems the English may have been unfair in association bird’s brains with
stupidity. In an attempt to find out how different creatures see the world,
psychologists at Brown University in the USA have been comparing the behaviour of
birds and humans. One experiment has involved teaching pigeons to recognize letters
of the English alphabet. The birds study in “classrooms”, which are boxes equipped
with a computer. After about four days of studying a particular letter, the pigeon has to
