8、 for Taking Care of MeLike most elementary schools, it was typical to have a parade of students in and out of the health clinic throughout the day. As principal, my office was right next door to the clinic, so I often dropped in to lend a hand and 16 out with hugs.One morning I was putting a Band-Ai

11、I told them that what I would like best would be their letters, pictures and prayers.Little Mary threw herself into my arms and looked up into my face. “Dont be afraid, Dr. Perry,” she said earnestly, “Its our 24 to take care of you.”No one 25 have ever done a better job. The kids sent me a book the

18、program. Mr. Stewart Thomas, a parent of two students at Star Middle School, firstly came up with the idea. Mr. Thomas is a fan of walking and wants to encourage others to appreciate the activity. He shared his idea with our principal, Ms. Howser, who immediately agreed that we should try it.Ms. How
19、ser contacted the other middle schools in the district, and all the teachers eagerly adopted the program. Now a team of Count-Your-Steps organizers made up of representatives from the middle schools, has established the programs goal: to increase awareness of the benefits of walking. Organizers want
20、 middle school students to accept this challenge and make walking one of their daily activities.The program has clear guidelines. Interested participants must only commit to recording the number of steps taken daily. Ms. Earley, the assistant principal, will give each of us a log for recording our s
21、teps and a pedometer, which is a small, digital tool used to count the steps of the person wearing it. All participants need to do each day is to wear the pedometer, walk as much as possible, and then record the number of steps in our logs. Clearly, the process is simple and convenient.While the ben
22、efits of walking are multiple, this challenge offers all who participate the opportunity to work together, achieve success, and make positive changes. Remember that the other schools in the district are signed up for the Count-Your-Steps too, and each one will try to take more steps than our school.
23、 I hope many will agree to this challenge and show everyone the Star Middle School Cougar Spirit.Please take into careful consideration this valuable and well-planned program, and then sign up today! In the words of Mr. Thomas, “Together we can enjoy the advantages of walking.”Sincerely, Cora Jeffri

26、, creating an oil spill. Thirteen hundred tons of fuel oil were flowing right in the middle of the African Penguins habitat. Soon the oil covered about 20,000 penguins. Without swift help, the seabirds would have no chance for survival. Volunteers were showing up by the thousands and I also took par
27、t in what was the largest animal rescue operation ever.A warehouse was turned into a rescue center near the habitat and hundreds of pools were built to hold about 100 oiled birds each. When walking into the center, I couldnt believe my ears. I had expected to walk into a chorus of honking and squawk
28、ing(叫声). Instead, the center sounded like a library. The penguins were dead silent. My heart ached for the painful birds. Cleaning them all seemed like an impossible task. But we had to carry on like doctors in an emergency room. There was no time for doubt. Cleaning oil off a penguin wasnt easy. Ev
29、en with more than 12,500 volunteers, it took a month to bathe all 20,000 birds at the center.While volunteers were busy bathing the oiled penguins, another crisis(危机) was developing. Oil from the spill had started moving north. Tens of thousands of penguins were in the oils path. But we already had
30、our hands full with 20,000 recovering birds. If any more birds were oiled, we wouldnt have enough resources to save them.One researcher came up with an idea: What if the penguins were temporarily moved out of harms way? Experts decided to have a try. Volunteers rounded up the penguins and released t
31、hem 500 miles away. The hope was that by the time the seabirds swam home, the oil would be gone. The plan worked! Another 20,000 penguins were saved.The entire penguin rescue took about three months. More than 90% of the oiled penguins were successfully returned to the wild. Looking back on the resc
32、ue, I am still amazed by the work of the volunteers. What I could hardly believe was that we accomplished an impossible task.40The African penguins were in danger because of _.Aa knock by a shipBa spill of oilCa change of habitatsDa lack of help41When walking into the rescue center, the author felt

34、e future of wildlife is in our handsDunite to make the earth pollution-freeCResearchers at Brigham found about one in five teenagers now have some degree of hearing damage. The researchers did not say why hearing loss has risen, but other experts have strong suspicions. One likely culprit, they say,
35、 is MP3 players.An MP3 player can be dangerous to hearing when its decibel level is turned up too high. High-decibel sounds can damage nerve endings, called hair cells. If a sound is loud enough, the damage can be permanent. A loud sound can shake the membrane(薄膜) on which the hair cells sit “like a
36、n earthquake”. That shake can break or even uproot hair cells. When that happens, the hair cells are finished. Human ears cannot regrow hair cells. Therefore, when listening to an MP3 player, set a volume limit and avoid exposure to loud sounds.On the other hand, the loudness of todays music may not
37、 be totally under your control. Music companies have been purposely turning up the volume. Its a trend called the fight for loudness.Play a CD from the 1990s. Then play a newly released tune. Dont touch the volume control. Youll probably notice that the new CD sounds louder than the old one. Why? So
38、und engineers who create CDs are using dynamic range compression(压缩), a technology that makes the quiet parts of a song louder and the loud parts quieter. The overall effect of compression is a louder recording.Many musicians and sound engineers arent pleased. They say that compression is driving do
39、wn the quality of todays music, making it sound flat and blaring. Gray Hobish, a sound engineer, explains that music should be a combination of loudness and softness. But music companies want to make music louder so it will stand out. Thats important in the competition among recording companies.What
40、 about listeners? Many teenagers listen to music on the go in noisy places and through headphones, all of which reduce sound quality. So young listeners may not notice the poorer quality of modern recordings. “To their ears,” says Hobish, “the music sounds fine. And they are not aware of the hidden
41、threat of the music they are enjoying.”44The phrase “like an earthquake” in Para. 2 aims to explain _.Athat volume can strongly affect parts of the earBhow our body is unable to regrow hair cellsChow much damage the ear can avoidDthat hair cells are easily damaged45What can we learn about todays mus

43、 You a Good Listener?DAntiquities are ancient objects and artworks. Museums acquire works to display from many different sources. Sometimes they purchase them. Other times they receive donations. Today there are strict rules forbidding art that has been stolen from other countries. However, antiquit
44、ies that have been at museums for decades or even centuries may have arrived there by questionable means. Now, some countries claim that museums have a responsibility to return these antiquities to their original locations.Elgin marblesThere are many examples of this debate. Perhaps the most famous
45、is the argument between Greece and the UK over the Elgin marbles. In the early 19th century, the Earl(伯爵) of Elgin had numerous sculptures taken from Greece to the UK. When Elgin did this, Greece was still a part of the Ottoman Empire. He claimed that he had received a permit to export the sculptures. Today the marbles are on display in the British Museum. However, Greece wants them to be returned to their original location.Should museums return these antiquities? Experts disagree. Malcolm Bell III says yes. Bell is a retired professor of art at the University o
