In one area of the rainforest, he watched as an orangutan moved through the trees. It was a sight to remember, in a place to remember. But weeks later, back home, Rhett Butler got the news that trees had been cut down for their wood in the area he visited.That experience led Rhett Butler to begin writing a book about rainforests and threats to their existence. But he did not publish the book. Instead, 1999, he used his research for the book to create a Web site. His purpose was to inform the public about tropical rainforests. But the subject widened. A former businessman, he became a respected writer of science and environmental stories.The popularity of M attracted advertisers. Small ads on the site pay for its operations. Mongabay has grown and led to other sites. For example, there is a site for children, . Another one, WildM, is all about the island nation that Rhett Butler calls his favorite place.To keep his website going, he travels around the world on several major trips each year. His working tools are a laptop computer, cameras and sometimes diving equipment. He often calls on experts for information. For example, he interviewed Alison Jolly, a top experts on lemurs(狐猴). He interviewed Rodney Jackson, a biologist who established the Snow Leopard Conservancy.

And yes, its good to get along with your teacher because, in general, its smart to learn how to relate to the different types of people youll meet throughout your life. But really, theres one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do, “learning bursts right open,” says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column called “Teacher Says” for the Washington Post newspaper.In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but theyre more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school issues, such as bullying(欺负人).As a kid in a primary or middle school, youre at a wonderful stage in your life. Youre like a sponge(海绵), able to soak up lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, youre able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, and in most cases, is very excited to be the person whos giving you all that material and helping you put it together. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if youre open to what theyre teaching you. Thats why they wanted to be teachers in the first place - to teach!Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive(敏感的) to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things arent going well, they wont learn as well and wont enjoy being in class.25. In the passage, the teacher mainly talks about _. A. how to get along well with teachersB. the importance of a good relation with teachers C. how much the students are expected of to get along with teachersD. how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant26. “Learning bursts right open” in the third paragraph really means _.A. learning becomes easier for you at once B. you find it hard to learniC. therell be more problems with learningD. therell be no problems with learning.27. According to the passage, which of the following offers the best reasoning?A. You are getting on well with your teachers, so you have more questions than others.B. You find it comfortable to ask questions, so you can build a good relationship with teachers.C. You have a good relationship with teacher, so you can turn to him/ her when in trouble.D. You are in trouble, so you can build a good relationship with teachers.CI used to be a doctor in the childrens department of a hospital. Sometimes I treated children who had been poisoned by medicine for older family members. The children didnt know the medicine was dangerous; they just knew it tasted sweet. Children easily open the bottle that we now use in China.Some days ago I talked about medicines with an American. He showed me a sort of plastic bottle. The design was quite simple and Im sure our Chinese factories could produce these bottles. The top of the bottle licks but can be opened by pressing down on it while turning. This is difficult for most young children to do, though grown-ups can open these bottles very easily.Im certain that the expense of making such tops would be very small.
