   Equipped only with a pair of binoculars (雙筒望遠(yuǎn)鏡) and ready to spend long hours waiting in all weathers for a precious glance of a rare bullfinch(紅腹灰雀). Britain’s birdwatchers had long been supposed to be lovers of a minority sport. But new figures show birdwatching is fast becoming a popular pastime, with almost three million of us absorbed in our fluttering feathered friends.

Devoted birdwatchers, those prepared to travel thousands of miles for a sighting of a rare Siberian bird, are fast being joined by a new breed of follower whose interest is satiated by watching a few finches (雀科鳴鳥(niǎo)) on a Sunday walk or putting up a bird-box in the back garden.

    “Almost three million UK birdwatchers is certainly possible if you include everyone with only a casual interest,” Stephen Moss said in his newly published book—A Bird in the Bush: a Social History of Birdwatching—which records the pursuit from the rich Victorian Englishman’s love of shooting rare birds to the less offensive observational tendencies of birdwatchers today.

Television wildlife programs have helped to fuel the new trend. Last summer, BBC 2’s Britain Goes Wild was a surprise success. It pulled in three million viewers and led to bird-houses selling out across the UK as 45,000 people promised to put up a box.

    Birdwatchers’ networking system first came to the attention of the nation in 1989, when a birdwatcher caught sight of the first Vermivora chrysoptera — a golden-winged songbird from North America—to be seen in Britain. He put a message out on the network service Birdline, and next day  3,000 birdwatchers proved the full pull of a truly rare bird as they visited the Tesco car park in Kent, where it had settled. Today, birdwatchers can log on to www.birdline.co.uk or have news of the latest sightings texted to their phones.

    “Multimillion-pound spending on binoculars, bird food and boxes point to the increasing numbers of birdwatchers,” said David Cromack, the editor of Bird Watching magazine, “The number of people involved is so big that they have great potential to influence government decisions affecting the environment.”

1. The word “satiated” in Paragraph 2 can be best replaced by “_______”.

    A. affected             B. shared                     C. satisfied            D. narrowed

2. What happened after the message of seeing a Vermivora chrysoptera was put on the network?

    A. Birdwatchers helped the rare bird settle in Kent.

    B. Large numbers of birdwatchers went to view the bird.

    C. Many birdwatchers logged on to the website for details.

    D. Birdwatchers showed their determination to protect the rare bird.

3. Which of the following CANNOT be true according to the passage?

    A. Television wildlife programs started the popular pastime of birdwatching.

    B. The network service has contributed to the rapid development of birdwatching.

    C. Birdwatching in Britain was long considered a sport with a small group of followers.

    D. The current situation of birdwatching may promote the protection of the environment.

4. The passage mainly tells us about ______ in UK.

    A. the history of birdwatching               B. a growing passion for birdwatching

C. the impact of media on birdwatching    D. birdwatching as a popular expensive sport

Music died here last spring, or rather, it was killed by members of the school committee who ignored the importance of music and drama as part of the high-school curriculum.

The committee decided that teaching students how to take a standardized test is more important than a curriculum in which students can explore their interests in the arts as well as academics. Because the school system is running out of funding, it needs to make sure that students pass the mastery test or even more money will be lost. If students fail the state standardized test, it is not the fault of drama and music classes – they are failing because the academic classes are not sufficient (足夠).

It is painful to think of how many students will be discouraged from singing, acting, and playing instruments because school programs are no longer offered. Many families cannot afford private music lessons, and many potential musicians and artists may not find their calling if they are not exposed to it in school. The fact that the school committee thinks the arts are not worth the investment will certainly make some students believe the arts are not worth their time or support and the cycle will continue.

Teaching for a test does not shape students into complete, well- rounded people. It blocks the natural sense to create and express feelings through art – there is more to life than the analytical thinking that math and English provide. What happens after a test? Sure, a student might graduate, but they will have limited knowledge – certainly not a good preparation for the real world.

1. Music and drama are ignored by ________.

   A. students       B. the school committee       C. teachers             D. parents

C. Students can be musicians and artists only if they can afford private music lessons

D. Quite a few students are discouraged from music and art in today’ s school system

3. We can learn that music and art can ______.

A. provide students with analytical thinking

B. make students round-shaped people in future

C. motivate students in creativity and expression

D. prevent students graduating from high school

4. The best title of the passage can be ______.

A. Who Killed Music and Drama?               B. Can Curriculum Go Without Arts?

C. Why is Music So Important?                  D. How to Prepare For the Real World?
