theyre doing alright in the wild.tigersall six tiger species are endangered, with suatran tigers and south china tigers at a seriously endangered status. the main reasons for their population decline are illegal hunting and destroyed habitats, as humans clear forests to gather timber and build roadways. only about 3890 tigers presently live in the wild.ground squirrelsthats right, even squirrels are endangered, specifically the san joaquin ground squirrel. native to california, usa, these guys have been disappearing since 1979 on account of the construction and human developments going through their habitat. their total population is unknown, but it could be anywhere between 124000 and 4130000.giraffes the international union for the conservation of nature recently put giraffes at a vulnerable status, the level just before endangered. the giraffe population has declined 40 percent in the last 30 years, primarily due to loss of habitat and illegal hunting. some giraffes are killed just for their tails, which are considered status symbols in africa.asian elephants the main threat to asian elephants, one of the most intelligent animals, is their shrinking habitat. as the human population grows, people invade their land to build roads and railway tracks. elephants in myanmar are at an especially high risk for being captured and traded or used illegally in the tourist industry. fewer than 50000 are left on the entire continent.21. what is the total population of tigers living in the wild?a. 50000. b. around 3890.c. 124000.d. 413000.22. which of the following is considered one of the most intelligent animals?a. tigers.b. giraffes.c. ground squirrels.d.asian elephants.23. what is the common threat to the four wild animals?a. illegal hunting. b. disturbed habitat.c. developing tourism.d. unnecessary construction.24. which word can best describe the present situation for protecting wild animals?a. urgent. b. optimistic.c. satisfactoryd. stable.bhousework is a frequent source of conflict between lazy husbands and their hard-working wives, but women have been warned not to expect men topull their weightany time soon.a study from oxford university has found that men are unlikely to be doing an equal share of housework before 2050. mothers, the researchers warned, will continue to shoulder the burden of childcare and housework for the next four decades, largely because housework such as cleaning and cooking is still regarded as “womens work”.the gap between the amount of time men and women spend on housework has narrowed slowly over the past 40 years. but it will take another four decades before true housework equality is achieved, the study concluded.the research found that in the nordic countries, the burden of housework is shared more equally between men and women. in the uk, women spend an average of four hours and forty minutes each day on housework, compared with two hours and twenty-eight minutes for men. this is an improvement from the 1960s, when british women typically spent six hours a day on housework, while men spent just 90 minutes every day.but progress towards housework equality appears to be slowing in some countries. dr oriel sullivan, a research reader from oxfords department of sociology, said, “weve looked at what is affecting the equality in the home, and we have found that certain tasks seem to be given according to whether they are viewed as mens work or womens work.”dr. sullivan said cultural attitudes taught at school may be responsible for the views of housework. “at school it is much easier for a girl to be a tomboy, but it is much more difficult for a boy to enjoy baking and dancing,” she said.25. what does the underlined part “pull their weight” in paragraph 1 probably refer to? a. loseweight. b. earn money. c.do equal housework. d. be lazy.26. why will women continue to do more housework before 2050?a. men are too busy to help.b. they would like to do so.c. they can do better in housework.d. housework will still be considered womens work.27. from paragraph 4 we know that in the uk _. a. men now spend just 90 minutes a day on housework on averageb. women now spend less time on housework than before c. housework is shared equally between men and women d. women now are too busy with their work to do housework 28. in dr. sullivans opinion, what is to blame for the housework inequality?a. cultural attitudes towards housework.b. policies made by the government.c. the time spent on work.d. the type of housework.cchildren grow quickly, especially their feet. but many families cannot buy new shoes each time a child needs them. as a result, about 300 million children around the world go barefoot. those children risk picking up diseases and parasites from the soil.kenton lee, an american man invented the shoe that grows. he explains, it grows in three places: the front, on the side and on the back. it can last up to five years. the bottom is rubber like tire rubber. the top is just high-quality leather.lee says he got the idea for the shoe while working as a volunteer in an orphanage in kenya. i just remember a little girl who wore a pair of small shoes. the shoes were so small that she had to cut open the front of her shoes to let her toes stick out. and i just remember thinking, wouldnt it be nice if there were a pair of shoes that could grow with her feet.however, lee says it was not easy to turn his idea into a reality. finally, in 2009 lee founded a non-profit organization called because international. in the office of because international, lee keeps a pair of his own shoes to help him remember his promise. a pair of shoes, he says, gives more than protection. it gives a child self-worth and more chances to succeed. because its a small thing that really does make a big difference to keep them healthy and happy and having more chances to succeed. kenton lee adds that his goal is to help get the shoe that grows to as many children as he can around the world.29. the first paragraph may intends to tell us _. a. many children suffer lacking shoes b. shoes are badly needed in many places c. the necessity of inventing the new shoes d. we should make efforts to help the children30. whats the main idea of paragraph 3? a. the children in orphanage live a hard life. b. a girl with a pair of worn shoes. c. what inspired kenton lee to invent the shoes. d. kenton lee wanted to help the children.31. from kenton lee, we can know _. a. the new-invented shoes can grow automatically b. he had little difficulty in inventing the new type shoes c. he had a great dream to invent shoes from his childhood d. shoes are important for childrens physical and mental growthd yesterday after school i took my boys through the drive way at mcdonalds. it was a hot day and they wanted a nice cool treat. so i said yes. plus the mcspiders are amazing for only $2!so off we went. as i ordered i remembered a commitment i made to myself a year ago.the commitment that every time i drive through the drive way i pay for the car behind me. i made this commitment because i go through the drive way about 4 times a year. so its an easy one to keep. as i drove around to pay the cashier the $6 for our order i really did not want to do this. i didnt want to pay or offer to pay for the car pulling up behind me.in my head i begun to talk myself out of it. its ok nicole, you dont have to. you havent much money or work this week. and what if its a $40 order or more! thats when the other voice stepped in. it said, this is exactly the time you need to do it! when you dont want to. its easy and good when your in the mood, happy and full of cash. but love and kindness doesnt work that way. it isnt conditional and only given when it suits you!so i did it. i paid for the car behind.i asked the cashier to add the car behinds order to my card. which thankfully was only $2.95. can you believe it. $2.95!anyway. that isnt the point. the point is that i did it. and doing it i completely made someones day, and reminded them that there is love and kindness in this world. and to think . i almost didnt. i almost kept that $2.95 to myself!32. what does the word “mcspiders” in paragraph 1 probably refer to? a. a kind of small animals that can run quickly. b. a kind of service provided by restaurant. c. a kind of small
