In 2000,Suy Senglim met a French journalist who inspired in him an interest in photography.To put this new-found interest to good use,in 2012 he began to take pictures of Cambodia's vast variety of birdlife.

Worried by the loss of biodiversity in his hometown of Mukh Kampul in Kandal province,Senglim created a photography project.He carefully documents each new species he photographs: the common name,scientific name,its identifying features,whether the species is endangered or not.Now the 35-year-old aims to educate Cambodians about the importance of bird species and the effect development has on nature.

Senglim thinks the biggest issues are damage to habitat and illegal hunting.Through his photography work he has also discovered what makes the problem worse is that there is not enough education and law enforcement. Hunting is at the root of Cambodian culture.Educating Cambodians about the need for conservation is of great importance to Senglim."Education is very limited.And in terms of legal enforcement,only one institution is standing out,and that is Wildlife Alliance,which has conducted a string of successful crackdowns(鎮(zhèn)壓)so far. However,there are few major campaigns on wildlife hunting as a whole."

Senglim is working on a book on 100 significant bird species from some of the 400 species he has so far photographed,which he hopes will be published in early 2018.He says he looks forward to teaching in high schools and colleges to inspire a new generation of nature-lovers."I think it's time to change the attitude,"he says.

1.How did Senglim carry out his photography project?

A. By taking more pictures in the wild.

B. By improving his photography skills.

C. By renewing his interest in loving life.

D. By recording new birdlife he photographs.

2.What is Senglim's discovery about the wildlife facing greater risks?

A. Less development of the wasteland.

B. Lack of education and law enforcement.

C. Small number of wildlife recorded in Cambodia.

D. Fewer campaigns conducted by Wildlife Alliance.

3.What does Senglim expect to do in future?

A. Strengthen legal enforcement.

B. Write more books about photography.

C. Change people's attitude to bird species.

D. Promote basic education in various schools.

Giving Mary Poppins’s magic umbrella some serious competition is the all new high-tech “Oombrella”---not only can it predict the weather, it’s also impossible to lose. The smart umbrella syncs(同步進行) with a smartphone app, sending users updates about weather conditions 30 minutes in advance, and reminders if they happen to leave the device behind. And here’s the added bonus – it won’t ever flip inside-out.

Designed by French company Wezzoo, the rainbow-colored umbrella comes in two versions – classic and modern. The classic is 3.1-ft long with a curved handle, while the modern version is 0.8-ft long with a straight handle. The company describes the device as a ‘portable weather station’, made of a reflective surface with built in sensors that record real-time data such as light, humidity, pressure, and temperature. The umbrella collects and processes this data as well as information from a social media community before sending out alerts about when it’s going to start raining.

And if the user happens to accidentally forget it at home on a potentially rainy day, or leaves it in a restaurant, similar alerts will be sent out using GPS technology to make sure you don’t lose it.

“We wanted to make this umbrella unforgettable in terms of design, too,” explains Alexandre, of Escabo design studio. “We developed an exclusive material. It makes you feel you are holding an aurora borealis(北極光) in your hands. It has effects that are amazing with the light and always changing. It really makes the umbrella special.” The ‘capsule’ that integrates all the technology, making the umbrella smart, is located in the handle.

The umbrella is all set to hit global online and physical stores this fall. According to a company spokesperson, it will retail at 79 euros ($86), but the early bird price on Kickstarter is 59 euros ($64). For those who are rather attached to their current umbrellas, the company will also release an ‘Oombrella capsule’ that can transform any umbrella into a smart device. Now, if only it could make us fly like Mary Poppins!

1.What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us about Oombrella?

A. Its special design B. Its working principle

C. Its functions D. Its structure

2.Which of the following best shows how Oombrella works?

A. collect—process—record—predict

B. process—record—collect—predict

C. record—collect—process—predict

D. record—process---collect---predict

3.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. Oombrella is already on sale

B. Early buyers of Oombrella will save money

C. It’s impossible to turn an ordinary umbrella into a smart one

D. Oombrella is a magic device that can make us fly

4.What’s the purpose of the author writing the passage?

A. To introduce readers a new type of umbrella

B. To show readers how to predict the weather

C. To remind readers to take an umbrella at any time

D. To persuade readers to buy the high-tech umbrella

Recently there has been a heated debate on whether the university should charge a fee to the public who use its sports field. People’s attitudes toward it vary from person to person.

One day, Lindsay and Erica were sitting at Lindsay’s house working very hard. Fourth grade was tough, and they were working on a science project about weather. Lindsay was a hard worker like Erica, so the two girls were happy to have each other as partners. They were writing about rain and were amazed to learn that Hawaii is the world’s wettest place. Lindsay found that Mount Waialeale, on the island of Kauai, gets about 460 inches of rain a year! In 1982, Mount Waialeale set an all-time world record when it received 666 inches of rain! The girls knew that their classmates would find all these facts interesting.

The girls were enjoying the fun facts they were finding when all of a sudden, Lindsay saw Erica choking. Erica had been chewing on a pen cap and had accidentally swallowed it! Erica started pointing to her neck. Lindsay asked her if she was choking. When Erica nodded to say yes, Lindsay quickly stood up and did the Heimlich maneuver (策略) to try to help Erica stop choking.

Lindsay was afraid of hurting her friend, so the first time she tried the Heimlich maneuver, she did not do it very hard. She tried a second time, and nothing happened. After trying it a third time, the pen cap flew out of Erica’ mouth!
