Annie slept in the front of the seat with her father drove through the darkness. ‖We’re almost there!‖ Dad announced cheerfully. ―Soon well be observing and counting owls （猫头鹰）at the state park.‖ Yawning, Annie nodded and smiled. The time was 4:30 a.m. Looking out into the darkness, Annie remembered learning in school that most owls are active at night, when they hunt for food. During the day they sleep in hard-to-find spots.

―Dad, why do you need to count owls?‖ she asked. ―It’s important for the scientists to have current information about bird populations,‖ he explained. ―We want to know which birds have decreased in number and whether any new kinds of birds are coming into a certain area. You and I will write down the kinds of birds that we see today and keep a record of how many times we see each kind. The we’ll send out a report to a scientific organization that is collecting about birds from people all over the county.‖

Dad pulled into the parking lot of the state park. Then, with flashing in hand, they began their hike into the woods. Annie zipped up her coat and tried to keep from trembling. She had not expected the morning to be so frigid. Luckily her gloves were in her pocket.

Suddenly Annie’s father stooped and gestured for her to be still. Obeying, Annie did not take another step. She thought she heard a low crying up head. ―That’s certainly a screech owl,‖ her father whispered. ―Let’s get a look at it.‖ After looking more closely, Annie could see that it was a small owl. Sensing danger, the owl narrowed its eyes and pulled its feathers tightly against its body. Annie carefully wrote down in her notebook that they had seen a screech owl.

Walking a little farther, they came to a tall oak tree. ―This looks like a perfect spot to attract owls,‖ Dad said. ―I’m going to play a recording of common call of the barred owl. Maybe we can get one to answer.’ Annie could hardly believe her ear. The recorded all sounded as if the bird were asking, ―who cooks for you?‖ Moments later Annie thought she heard a return call in distance. She held her breath and waited. Suddenly a huge bird landed very quietly on a branch above them.

Annie had long forgotten how cold it was. She stood in wonder, shining her flashlight on the bird and studying it carefully. The barred owl was nearly tow feet tall. Gray feathers surrounded its dark eyes. The bird did not matter. Annie would never forge the image of the powerful barred owl. 24. Annie and her father went to the state park to _________.

There is a growing number of kidults---or adults who wear the mask of maturity but prefer to pander(迎合) to their inner child.

They feel ill equipped for parenthood, because they don’t see what values or lessons they could honestly pass on to their young, besides self-centeredness and a passion for the good things in life. They are trying to live by not acting their age.

As Ms Jane put it in her letter: I am married, in my late 20s and enjoy a lifestyle other married graduate couples enjoy: winning and 2016 dining, tasteful clothes, travel and a career. Why give up all these for a baby?

It is reported that when asked whether they were adults, most people in their 20s answered they were not sure. This reflected a global economy in which people chased more papers to get better jobs that would comfortably support middle class living.

Being a kidult is not all about being selfish, though. With the untold uncertainties of war, fluctuating(波动)markets, disease and terrorism, many see this world as a poor place to live in—let alone bring kids up in. This seems especially so in urban living. All anyone wants after a long, hard day at work is some peace and quiet.

My classmate, Jenny, mused(沉思)recently how our friends living in small Malaysian towns were onto their second or third kids. Maybe they just loved having children around. Or maybe, in their own way, they wanted to leave the world a better place than they found it.

That’s how you, I and everyone know we have the chance to breathe air, touch grass and see sky. I think out parents understand that just being alive is an experience worth passing on. 28. What is a kidult in the writer’s opinion?

A. A person who doesn’t have a child B. An adult who actually has a psychology of a child C. A child who doesn’t want to grow up D. A person who doesn’t know that what values he has 29. What does the underlined word ―paper‖ in Para. 4 mean?

A. money B. reputation C.qualification D. power 30. The author explains the kidult phenomenon by ________.

A. presenting research findings B. making comparison C. showing her own experience D. using examples

31. We can learn from the text that kidults________.

A. know little what they can pass on to their children B. are sure of their abilities for good life

C. living in urban can enjoy more peace D. living in small towns know well what they’re living for

At Dulles High school in Sugar Land, Texas, the roster(候选名单)for Advanced Chinese begins with Jason Chao and ends with Kathy Zhang. In between comes an unexpected name: Elizabeth Hoffman. Hoffman, now a 12th grader, began learning Chinese in the eighth grade, has spent a summer studying in Nanjing and plans to perfect her Mandarin next fall. When asked by her peers---why she is learning Chinese, she responds with a question: ―why aren’t you?‖

As China rushes toward superpower status, America’s schools and government officials are responding to Hoffman’s opinion. Earlier this year Rush Holt of New Jersey introduced legislation(立

M: We’ve raised 18 million dollars from about 50 people. We’re finally making money. I own 6% of the company and all employees get their shares. W: By the way, what aspects of your life are green?

M: I’m only mildly green. I do simple things and I’m a big biker. I biked across Canada. W: Do you think you have ever done anything wasteful?

M: We're always doing something wrong, but then, that will allow us to learn and grow. When I first started out, we made all the products ourselves, but that was a mistake. Now we

work with other companies. We provide the materials, the product development and the design. They make the products then. W: Thank you for your co-operation. Text 10

M: White Sands, about 24 kilometers southeast of the city of Alamogordo, New Mexico, is one of the world's greatest natural wonders. Nature has created huge moving hills of pure white sand. These sand dunes cover more than 70, 000 hectares of desert. It is one of the largest sand dune fields in the United States. The bright white sand dunes are always changing, always moving, like waves on the ocean. Plants and animals struggle to survive in this extreme environment of White Sands. There is not much rain. The heat in summer is intense. Several kinds of small animals have become white in color in order to hide in the sand. More than five hundred thousand people visit White Sands each year. They climb on the sand dunes and observe the moving sea of sand. In the visitor center at the entrance of the park, you can find out special activities and guided walks. You can drive about 13 kilometers into the center of the dunes. Along the way there is information that tells about the natural history of the White Sands. You can also explore the White Sands on foot, seeing some unusual and beautiful plants and flowers. You can even camp there overnight. But you must be careful. It is easy to get lost in the waves of moving sand.
