in over 40 countries around the world.conservation projects managed by these offices are active in more than 100 countries.the central secretariat(秘书处) for the network (called wwf international) is located in gland, switzerland.the idea of wwf was put forward on the 29th april 1961, and its first office opened on 11th september that same year in the small swiss town of morges.what do the letters wwf stand for?wwf originally stood for “world wildlife fund”.however, in 1986, wwf had come to realize that its name no longer showed the scope (范围) of its activities, and changed its name to “world wide fund for nature”.the united states and canada, however, continued to use the old name.the resulting confusion caused by the name change in 1986, together with its translation into more than 15 languages, led the organization in 2001 to agree on using the original acronym (首字母缩略词) wwf as its only global name.60.wwf has a history of _.a. more than 25 yearsb. more than 35 yearsc. more than 50 yearsd. more than 60 years61.which of the following is true about wwf?a. it has offices in more than 100 countries.b. its first office was built in morges, switzerland.c. the idea of wwf was first put forward in gland.d. conservation projects are managed by wwf international.62.wwf changed its name in 1986 because the name _.a. wasnt accepted by the united states and canadab. didnt agree with its acronymc. caused confusion when translated into other languagesd. couldnt cover its various activitiescharvard university in the united states has been ranked as the university with the best “reputation(名誉)” in the world.the times higher education magazine has listed 200 top universities all over the world based on how they are regarded by a group of international college teachers. that is to say the list measures how universities are regarded, rather than how they actually performed.a subjective, word-of-mouth (口碑的) quality such as “reputation” has genuine economic (经济的) value for universities, said simon marginson, professor of higher education at the university of melbourne in australia.“reputation is not just an impression, though it might be not as reliable as performance by objective indicators (客观指标),” said prof marginson.based on the views of 13,000 college teachers around the world, it confirms the power of the big us universities, which dominate this list. seven of the top 10 are us universities, headed by harvard and massachusetts institute of technology (mit).furthermore, 14 of the top 20 are from the us. cambridge is the highest ranking uk university in the list, in third place, with oxford ranked as sixth.for students applying to university, reputation might be hard to quantify, but was an important part of the attractiveness, said the president of cambridge universitys students union, rahul mansigani.“reputation makes a huge difference. if there is an idea that somewhere is great, it will get lots of good people applying whether its true or not. factors such as a sense of history and the presence of outstanding college teachers were part of the reputation of cambridge,” he said.63. what is special about the latest ranking of universities?a. it is very subjective.b. it involves many indicators.c. it is made by international professors.d. it includes universities across the world.64. which of the following shows the correct order of the ranking?a. cambridge mit oxford harvardb. cambridge harvard oxford mitc. harvard mit cambridge oxfordd. harvard cambridge mit oxford65. the underlined word “dominate” in paragraph 5 probably means _.a. affect b. decide c. control d. improve66. what can be inferred from the text?a. no asian universities are among the top 10.b. at least five uk universities are among top 20.c. the times higher education magazine is from the us.d. reputation affects students decisions when choosing universities.dmy name is amanda lamunyon. i have aspergers syndrome, a form of autism (自闭症). i dont see myself as a person with a disability. i share who i am when i paint, sing and write.i started writing poetry because i wanted to tell people what it was like to have aspergers syndrome. i dont know how my life would be different without aspergers, but i know i look at the world differently than most people. im also learning that you dont have to be like everybody else. you just have to be confident in who you are.i discovered i could paint when i was 7. my math teacher mrs. brock loved one of my paintings so much that she hung it on the wall in her bedroom. i was so encouraged by her and since then my life has changed greatly.soon after, people asked me to show my art for charity events. i began to donate prints of my work for charity auctions (拍卖). i was glad that i really made a difference. i learned that when you give, you receive happiness.i think it is very important for teens to express themselves. its a way to know yourself more clearly. you can turn your thoughts and feelings into a piece of artwork or a poem.for example, when you paint, colors can help you express different emotions. when you write a poem, you have to get really honest with yourself and not
