Born into a traditional Maasai family he quickly grew to understand the beauty and danger of wildlife. Living with big wild animals

20、forces him to develop a good sense of where they have been and where they may be going.

22、Each year, thousands of tourists crowd Kenyas national parks to try to have a look at thebig five; elephants, rhinoceros, leopards, buffaloes and lions.

27、）For those concerned about wrinkly old skin, it might be a creative solution: an elastic(有彈性的) “second skin” that can be smoothed on to make aged tissue look more youthful.The wearable film, developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), has shown promise in a series of small experime

28、nts where it was applied to wrinkles, under-eye bags and areas of dry skin. When applied to the face or body, the thin, transparent layer sticks to the skin and supports the tissue, making it look and behave like younger skin, its producers claim.“What weve been able to do is create a cream that you

29、 can put on the skin, and then when its on the skin it can actually form, essentially, an elastic second skin,” said Bob Langer, who led the research. Tests in the lab found that the polymer film (高分子膜), which is only 70 thousandths of a millimeter thick, reduced the appearance of wrinkles and under

30、-eye bags, and helped keep moisture (水分) in areas of dry skin.The layer is designed to be applied in the morning, then peeled off at night, In previous studies, the second skin withstood normal daily wear, and the stresses and strains of exercise and swimming, without falling off or causing irritati

It also survived exposure to rain.“Its something you can wear for a whole day or longer, depending on the physical forces that get applied to the area where it is worn, said Daniel Anderson, who helped develop the product at MIT. “You cant tell youre wearing it.”While normal cosmetics can mask i

36、 envelopes containing cards with the same message were hand-delivered to the offices of all the major news companies.One found its way to the desk of Chris Lin, a business reporter at The Post. The card was beautifully designed a black background with the words printed out in crisp white letters. Th

37、ere was no explanation on the back, just a website address.Chris went to the website. Its style was identical to the cards and said: “Anytime: Starting Tomorrow.”The next day websites and blogs were filled with articles theorising about Anytime. Was it a shopping website like Tao Bao or Amazon? A jo

38、ke? Something illegal? Anytimes marketing had worked it was a household name before itd even made a single sale.When the opening came, that day at noon, the Anytime website suddenly had a single field that read, “What do you want?” All you had to do was type the words into that box, and then specify

39、 how quickly you wanted your item delivered: within one, ten, or twenty-four hours.Bloggers were the first to test the service. And their reviews were glowing. Within weeks, Anytime had become a part of daily life. Nobody used other delivery sites or the post anymore as Anytime was much cheaper and

40、faster.Chris still wondered what exactly Anytime was. He tried to find out who owned the company, but it was registered in a small country that did not require such information to be made public. He did find some interesting facts, though. Anyone who challenged the company, it seemed, met with serio

41、us trouble. A government official critical of Anytime for avoiding tax was forced to leave his position after news stories suddenly appeared claiming he was dishonest. The head of another company taking Anytime to court died in a car accident just days before the case was to begin.Chris began making

42、 a list of all the people who had something terrible happen to them after opposing or criticising Anytime. By lunch, he had more than one hundred examples. Something was definitely wrong. Chris worked on his list the rest of the day, emailing people who could provide more information and looking thr

43、ough newspaper records. After working through the night, an exhausted Chris finally fell asleep at his desk at 4 a.m.When he woke a few hours later, there was a message flashing on his computer screen: “Stop making trouble.” Chris smiled.

In June, 2005, an 11-year-old boy was lost in the Utah wilderness for four days. During that time, he sta

48、yed on the path. He saw people searching for him but deliberately hid from them, afraid someone might “steal” him. Eventually, the unfortunate game of hide-and-seek ended and he was found. According to the Canada Safety Council, this alarming incident shows how unwise it is to instill (灌輸) a fear of

49、 strangers in children. The “stranger danger” message can prevent children from developing the social skills and judgment needed to deal effectively with real-life situations. In a difficult situation, a stranger could be their lifeline to safety.To have a child go missing is a parents worst nightma

50、re. The threat of abduction by a stranger is minimal when compared with other possible reasons for a disappearance. In 2004, there were 67,266 missing-children cases in Canada. Only 31 involved abduction; in most of those cases the abductor was a relative, friend, or person known to the family. Ther

51、e were 671 cases of children wandering off, and 332 cases of abductions by a parent. Almost 80 percent of all cases were runaways. These statistics cast doubt on the idea that children should never talk to strangers. Wandering off is more commonbut a lost child may have to call upon a stranger for h

52、elp, and must develop the ability to judge what kind of people to approach. The “never talk to strangers” rule does not protect children in the situations they are most likely to face. On top of this, it can be confusing. Adults do not model the behavior; they often talk to strangers. A child may no

53、t know how to tell who is a stranger, and who is not.For young children, nothing replaces close supervision (監(jiān)管). Pre-schoolers do not understand risk and tend to act without thinking. Children need to develop habits and attitudes that will protect them from the real threats and dangers they may fac

The Canada Safety Council encourages parents to give their children age-appropriate positive messages about safety, bearing in mind how youngsters may understand their world.1、Which of the following statements is NOT true about the 11-year-old boy?AHe practiced the “never talk to strangers” rule.

55、BHe hid from the rescuers to avoid possible abduction.CHe eventually showed up when his hide-and seek game ended.DHe stayed where he was, expecting the coming of familiar people.2、Among the possible reasons for the missing-children cases in Canada, which one is the most frequent?ABeing abducted by a
