Its crystal-clear night skies, and high attitude make it a natural, educational, and astronomical heritage site in the southern half of the earth. Tourists can use Australias largest optical telescope within the park boundaries to view the auroras(极光), the Milky Way, and faint shooting stars.SarkSark is a Channel Island near the coast of Normandy under the protection of the UK. It was the Worlds First Dark Sky Island set up in January 2011. Its historical and cultural blend attracts over 400,000 tourists annually. With no motor vehicles and public lighting on the island, there is an exceptional view of the dark skies. A rich Milky Way is visible in the dark night skies from the shores of the island.Pic du Midi de BigorrePic du Midi de Bigorre in France was designated(指定) as a dark sky park in December 2013 making it the second largest dark sky park in the world.

Hed need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. Its nothing personal. Most Americans dont even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.But this doesnt mean that Americans dont care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Western philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.So the old thinkers ideas are still alive and well.Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.24.

The passage is likely to appear in _.A. a biography(传记)B. a history paperC. a newspaperD. a philosophy textbookCAt the age of seven, while his friends were spending pocket money on things like candy and toys, Jose Adolfo was busy saving money for more essential purchases. To try to get his peers to do the same, the youngster from Arequipa, Peru came up with the innovative idea of an eco-bank, which allows kids of all ages to gain economic independence while also helping the environment.Established in 2012, the Bartselana Student Bank is the worlds first bank for kids. To open an account, kids have to bring in at least 5 kilograms of solid waste (paper or plastic) and establish a savings goal. Once accepted, all bank “partners” are required to deposit(存储) at least one additional kilogram of recyclables on a monthly basis and meet other requirements, such as attending financial education and environmental management workshops.The waste collected is sold to local recycling companies, who, thanks to Jose, pay a higher-than-market rate for everything brought in by Bartselana Student Bank members. The funds received are placed in the individuals account until his/her savings goal is reached. The account holder can then withdraw his/her money, or choose to leave it and continue to grow for a bigger target.“At the beginning, my teachers thought I was crazy,” Jose recalls. “They did not understand that we are not the future of the country but its present. Luckily, I had the support of the school principal.”By 2013, the bank had over 200 members who brought in one ton of recyclable waste. Today, the eco-bank, which now has the support of several local institutions, has ten educational centers. They are designed to teach the over 3,000 members both finance and environmental management. On December 6, 2018, in response to the growing demand, Bartselana Student Bank began accepting applications from kids all across Peru.As the teenager says, “Together we can change the world. We just need an opportunity.”28. What is the purpose of the eco-bank?A. To involve kids in the management of the local recycling companies.B. To help kids get pocket money to spend on things like candy and toys.C. To show kids how important it is to learn environmental management.D. To get kids to help the environment and be economically independent.29. What duty does an eco-bank member have to perform?A. Attending financial education workshops.B. Bringing in 5 kilos of waste.C. Saving one kilo of solid waste weekly.D. Establishing a savings goal.30. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Kids are more responsible when growing up.B. The future of the country relies mainly on kids.C. Kids can contribute to the society though young.D. The present is a vital period for kid development.31. Which of the following words can best describe Jose?A. Generous.B. Crazy.C. Flexible.D. Influential.DSharpshooters refer to those who are skilled at firing a gun and accurately hitting what they are aiming at. However, some fish are also called amazing sharpshooters. People wonder how they hit their targets without using tools? By spitting! The fish shoot so accurately that they rarely miss their target.These amazing fish are archerfish(印度射水鱼). There are several different types of archerfish living in Southeast Asia. They spit at their dinner to catch it. To catch dinner, a fish first sets itself in a certain place, for example just below the surface of the water. It puts the tip of its mouth so it barely breaks through the water. Then, the fish waits for an unsuspecting insect to land on a leaf or branch hanging over the water.When an unsuspecting, or unknowing insect lands, the fish attacks. The fish squeezes its gill(腮) covers very rapidly, which forces water into the fishs mouth. In the roof of its mouth the fish has a groove(槽). The fish forms the small groove and its tongue into a narrow tube by pressing its tongue up against its groove. The water forced into the fishs mouth is forcefully pushed out of the fishs mouth through the tube. Archerfish have been known to send a stream up to 5 meters (16 feet). However, archerfish can only shoot insects up to 1-2 meters (3-6 feet) away due to their limited accuracy.When the unsuspecting insect is hit with a sudden stream of water, it is knocked into or falls into the water. Once in the water, the insect becomes dinner. Archerfish learn how to spit when they are young. They get more accurate with practice. Adult archerfish rarely miss.Within a meter, archerfish will often spring out of the water and grab an insect in their mouths.32.
