Wildlife Protection李仕才一、阅读理解Opera is an art form that celebrates the human voice. No other art form creates excitement and moves the heart in the way that opera does, especially when performed by a great singer. Opera is an important part of the Western classical music tradition. It uses music, words, and actions to bring a dramatic story to life. Opera started in Italy at the end of the 16th century and later became popular throughout Europe. Over the years, it has responded to various musicals. In recent decades, much wider audiences have been introduced to opera through modern recording technology. Some singers have become celebrities thanks to performing on radio, on TV, and in the cinema.However, in recent years, opera has been facing serious challenges. One current challenge to opera is economics. The shortage of money raises the broader question of how much should be paid to support opera singers and other artists. Society seems to accept the large salaries paid to business managers and the multimilliondollar contracts given to sports athletes. But what about opera singers? Somehow, people have the idea that artists can be creative only if they suffer in poverty, but this is unrealistic. If artists, including opera singers, lack the support they need, valuable talent is wasted.Not only the shortage of money, but also the way money is managed in the opera world has led to hardships. Principal singers are generally paid performance fees once they complete a show. They typically receive nothing during the many weeks of rehearsal(排练) before a show starts.Another problem faced by opera is how to meet the demands of audiences who are influenced by popular entertainment. Pop singers are often judged as much on the basis of how they look as how they sound. These demands may be unrealistic and possibly harmful. Opera singers simply cannot make a sound big enough to fill a large theater or concert hall without a microphone if their body weight is too low. Emphasizing physical appearance over singing ability may cause audiences to miss out on the human voice at its best.There are no easy solutions to opera’s problems and there are many different opinions about the value of opera. However, every year many young people register for music courses with hopes and dreams of developing their talent in this special art form. The fact that opera has survived many obstacles and continues to attract the rising generation shows that it remains a respectable art form full of value.【解题导语】本文主要讨论了歌剧所面临的挑战和困难。

Wildlife Protection李仕才【阅读理解插花】Our “Mommyand Me” time began two years ago. Mynext -door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. “I wish I could tak e one of my children out alone, ”said Christie.Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I 'll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I 'll take someone out.The children were extremely quick to accept the i dea of “Mommy and M”e time. Christie 's daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “She's like a different child when there 's no one elsearound, ”Christie shared with me quietly. With her mother all to herself, McKenziedidn 't have to make an effort to gain attention.Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone time. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently.My stuttering（口吃）son, Tom, doesn ' t stutter once during our activities since he doesn't have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who's always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.The “Mommy and M”e time allows us to be simply alone and away with eachchild —talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves（应得到）to be an only child at least once in a while.【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。

Unit 4 Wildlife Protection**阅读理解Captain John Bunch loves to go fishing. In fact, Bunch loves fishing so much that he became a professional fishing guide decades ago and has remained one ever since. There is something, however, that Bunch loves even more. That is his country and the men and women who join the army to protect it. Ever since Bunch met a young soldier in 2005, who wanted to go on a fishing trip before he left the army, the Florida native has offered over 1 200 fishing trips to veterans(退伍军人), with all expenses paid.And Bunch’s efforts to give back to those who have served their nation go even much further. Inspired by that fishing trip 11 years ago, he founded Operation Open Arms, which has since helped nearly 3 400 US troops and given out more than $12 million in direct benefits with his charity. Operation Open Arms also provides free weddings, vacations, and more leisurely activities to veterans, and can rely on a network of over 300 businesses and individual partners to get former soldiers anything they might need upon returning home from army.The former marine’s heartwarming generosity is a result of his own experiences in the military and the pride he has for his country. "I do this because I love my country and I do this because America is the greatest country in the world," he told NBC’s Today Show. Bunch’s unwavering commitment goes so far that he once turned down an invitation from then-President George W. Bush, because he had already scheduled a fishing trip with one of his veterans. Even the military has recognized Bunch’s work of love, and earlier this year honored him and his organization with the Outstanding Civilian Service Award and the Army’s most prestigious civilian award.1.What caused John Bunch to offer free fishing trips to veterans?A.A young soldier’s desire to go on a fishing trip.B. Working as a professional fishing guide.C. Having served in the army.D. Growing up in Florida.2.What is Paragraph Two mainly about?A. The achievements Operation Open Arms has made.B. How Operation Open Arms was founded.C. Activities Captain John Bunch has joined.D. The missions of Operation Open Arms.3.Which can best describe John Bunch’s personality?A. Ambitious and talented.B. Responsible and patient.C. Honest and determined.D. Warm-hearted and generous.4.John Bunch didn’t accept George W. Bush’s invitation because___.A. he thought little of himB. he didn’t want to see himC. he had to take care of businessD. he wanted to stay with veterans【文章大意】钓鱼向导John Bunch不仅自己喜欢钓鱼，而且还为美国退伍军人安排很多次免费的钓鱼之旅，并为他们提供一些其他的福利。

Wildlife Protection李仕才一、阅读理解About six months ago, I was working in a job where I sat at a computer in an office for 50 hours or so each week. My best friend, Dusty，also sat in an office at a computer all day. We often talked about what a waste it seemed to be, spending our time inside in front of a computer all day long. I ended up leaving my job, and so did Dusty. Neither one of us are sitting in an office all day. Last week, Dusty came to my home and declared，“I’m going to travel.”Of course, traveling is exciting. It’s getting to experience new things, getting to be a slightly different version of ourselves, but I think the point is more about the mindset(心态) that it allows for than the actual reality that comes with it. Waking up every day with a sense of excitement for the unknown. Approaching each interaction during the day with a sense of wonder. Not thinking about yesterday or tomorrow, and just about whatever’s right in front of you.However, the thing is, we don’t need to be in transit to be able to approach our days this way. It is possible for me to be living my normal life and be excited for the unknown of the day. I meet new people and do new things every day. Yes, they might be in Santa Monica, a few blocks from my apartment, but what’s the difference between a new person here and a new person in Australia?I read an Alan Watts quote recently, and it goes as follows：“If I ask you what you did, saw, heard, smelled, touched and tasted yesterday, I am likely to get nothing more than the thin, sketchy outline of the few things that you noticed, and of those only what you thought worth remembering... But suppose you could answer，‘It would take me forever to tell you, and I am much too interested in what’s happening now.’”Our generation seems to be eager to expand our horizons(视野). But I agree withAlan Watts. There is a lot of opportunity for horizonexpansion wherever we happen to be. I think I’ll wake up tomorrow, walk down the street, and put on my adventurer’s cap.【解题导语】旅行之所以吸引人是因为它可以让人们探索未知，但是并不一定非要去旅行才可以达到这个目的。

Volunteering Is FunOne afternoon I was sitting at home feeling so bored.Instead of feeling sorry for myself， I wanted to meet people and have new experiences so I decided to start volunteering.I searched on my computer and found a website where I could volunteer on a farm in France.My time working on a farm was a new experience for me.It was basically a free holiday as food and accommodation were provided.However，it was not your typical holiday as I had to look after fifteen horses and sleep at the top of a tower in a castle！I was an awful farmer but it did not matter because I made some great friends.However，you do not need to go abroad to volunteer.I have had plenty of adventures at home as volunteering can become a hobby.For example，I love singing so I had a good laugh waving my arms in an attempt to conduct my local choir.I did slowly improve and it felt great to conduct the choir in a concert.At university，I organised a concert for charity with my friends.It was really fun founding bands and raising money for a cause we believe in.It is true that you feel good volunteering but there are also other advantages.I once volunteered as a server at a charity sports event where the organizers gave me cupcakes to thank me for my services.I also volunteered in a charity shop so I found loads of nice cheap clothes to update my wardrobe（衣柜）.While this is all fun，my favourite aspect of volunteering is creating and sharing stories.My terrible attempts at farming have given me hilarious stories to tell！Talking to volunteers from different countries and backgrounds has also helped me learn more about the world.I feel thankful to have had so much fun with many nice people thanks to volunteering.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

必修2 Unit 4 Wildlife protection李仕才一、阅读理解APeople who possess high selfesteem are able to commit better and produce a greater bond in relationships with others. Dr. Douglas feels that most people do not value themselves, but with love and selfrespect an yone can be above normality and grasp success with the family, the office, or others.We have become too reliant on intelligence, beauty, and money for our own selfesteem. The loss of esteem reduces the will and ability to set and reach goals. In a series of reading Douglas teaches how to avoid negative statements, how to change them into selffacing behavior, and how to take charge of your mental attitude. Where other motivational and selfhelp work stops with the theoretical plan for success, Douglas takes everyday examples and puts them into his books. From raising children who believe in themselves to using selfesteem to help bridge the gap in the workplace, he gives readers concrete solutions to the problems that might ruin their interpersonal relations.Selfesteem building comes from filling your thoughts with positive affirmations (肯定) and learning to react to failures with motivation instead of selfdestruction. These lessons are valuable for anyone who feels that life is even slightly out of control. People who feel they have adequate esteem can learn to use it to make their success grander, faster, and more beneficial for others. Douglas approaches this process of selfdevelopment as a means of more than creating good things for the individual but also for setting up keys for influencing good things for others.For more than thirty years, Dr. Douglas has addressed more than two million people on topics from time management to speaking effectively to raising drugfree children. He is the author of fifteen books, including How to Make a Habit of Succeeding.【文章大意】本文主要讲述了自尊心强的优势，以及如何培养自尊。
