But there are1than 140,000 red squirrels left now and most of them are in Scotland. However, grey squirrels are now so common that many people2them. They can hunt and kill them legally (合法的).The two types of squirrels look similar. They both have a long3, which helps the squirrel to jump from tree to tree, and the same large eyes, small ears and powerful back legs.4, the grey squirrel has a clear advantage (优势) over the red. The red squirrel has a headandbody length of 19 to 23 cm and a tail length of 15 to 20 cm. But the grey squirrel is a5animal. The headandbody length is between 23 and 30 cm.

The population in Africa as in other parts of the world, is getting older. Currently, there are 36 million people on the continent 65 years and above. which is 3.6 percent of the population. up from 3.3 percent 10 years ago. That could rise to 4.5 percent by 2030 and 10 percent by 2050. The African development Bank is raising concerns over the shortage of health insurance and pensions (养老金).The African Development Bank says. Aging is highly linked with long-term physical and mental disability and a number of long-term chronic (慢性的) conditions.Africa is not well prepared to care for its aging population right now. And it needs to prepare for this fact. said Professor Mthuli Ncube. the African Development Banks chief economist. African nations spend far less on healthcare than developed nations do_ about $26per person per year. Not so many countries have well developed medical aid plans for the elderly, whether they are privately provided plans or indeed government plans. If you look at the pension plans, you will find the pension industries are not well developed in some of the countries.Professor Mthuli Ncube said African governments failed to take action on health insurance and pensions because they were busy with economic reforms.Another challenge for Africa is the worsening of informal systems of social protection. That is cash and support from both the extended family and community sources.The African Development Bank recommends governments help carry out health insurance and pension plans. Ncube said African governments didnt have to handle the health insurance burden alone. It is not only a must but also an opportunity for private companies to add their bit in this regard, he said. The report also recommends that African governments consider providing ways of free health services. medications and long-term health care facilities for the elderly.（1）From the first paragraph we know the facts except that _A . the speed of people aging is becoming quickerB . Africa has the largest aging populationC . African governments are not well prepared to deal with the aging populationD . the shortage of health insurance and pensions adds to African governments difficulty in dealing With the aging population（2）Which is not highly linked with the aging according to the passage?A . Long-term physical disability.B . Long-term mental disability.C . Long-term chronic illnesses.D . Long-term shortage of care and love.（3）What got in the way of developing health insurance and pensions in Africa?A . The economic reforms.B . Too many old people.C . The shortage of land.D . The development of the economy.（4）How can the aging problem be solved in Africa according to Ncube?A . African governments should spend as much money on healthcare as developed countriesB . African people should save enough money to insure their health.C . African governments should combine with private companies to finish health insurance and pension pains.D .

In the 1890s, Lawrence Hargrave invented the box kite to test ideas about flight. From 1898 until 1933, the United States Weather Bureau (气象局) used box kites to collect weather data.

Which country is better to study in?” As China opens its door, many Chinese students want to learn about the world. Its true that studying abroad(国外的) can help students develop themselves.

Students must use a lot of time to learn another language and to get used to a different culture.Students must also learn to live without parents care and deal with all kinds of things.
