charles darwin (18091882) arrived here in 1835. he stayed on the islands for five weeks, observing various animals. this finally inspired his famous work, on the origin of species. you can certainly follow darwins footsteps and enjoy a trip from four to seven days to the islandsthe islands are certainly a paradise for wildlife, as there are no natural killers on the islands and the number of boats and visitors is under government control. though you cannot walk freely as darwin did about 200 years ago, each day is as impressive as it could be.the most well-known animal of the galapagos is the giant tortoise（巨型海龟）, which can be seen moving slowly around the highlands of santa cruz, the second largest island in the archipelago（群岛）. some of these creatures are so old that they might have been seen in their youth by darwin himself.despite strict control over activities and timing, your stay on the galapagos will be remembered as a chain of incomparable pictures; diving with sea lions that swim and play within inches of you; feeling small sharks touch your feet as you swim; and, most magically, seeing a whale and her baby surface with a great breath of air.traveling between the islands and observing the wildlife that so inspired darwin, you will feel as though you are getting a special view of an untouched world. at night you will sleep on board the ship, leaving the wildlife in complete occupation of the islands, which are as undisturbed now as they have been since the beginning of time.1. which of the following plays a role in making the islands “a paradise for wildlife”? a. animals on the islands feed on grass. b. local government forbids killing wildlife. c. people cannot visit the islands as they wish. d. tourists are not allowed to touch the animals.2.

example of wildlife protection参考答案13、cca社会生活类。blind imitation(模仿) is self-destruction. to those who do not recognize their unique worth,imitation appears attractive;to those who know their strength,imitation is unacceptable.in the early stages of skill or character development,imitation is helpful. when i first learned to cook,i used recipes(菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes. but soon i grew bored. why follow someone elses way of cooking when i could create my own?imitating role models is like using training wheels on a childs bicycle;they help you get going,but once you find your own balance,you fly faster and farther without relying on them.in daily life,imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously(下意识地) hold poor role models. if,as a child,you observed people whose lives were bad,you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. if you do not make strong choices for yourself,you will get the results of the weak choices of others.in the field of entertainment,our culture glorifies celebrities. those stars look great on screen. but when they step off screen,their personal lives may be disastrous. if you are going to follow someone,focus on their talent,not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. think of the movies,books,teachers,and friends that have affected you most deeply. they touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration,not desperation. the world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them,but by those who do what has been done inside them. creative people have an endless resource of ideas. the problem a creator faces is not running out of material;it is
