An outstanding member of CPCBA Pair of Silk Stocking is a short story written by Kate Chopin, published in 1897. The story follows Mrs. Sommers who, rather than spending an unexpected fortune on her children, chooses instead to fund an afternoon of indulgence (放纵) with it.Mrs. Sommers finds herself the unexpected owner of $ 15. It seems to her a very large amount of money. The way it fills up her worn wallet gives her a feeling of importance that she has not enjoyed for years. After a few days of reflection, she decides to use the money to purchase clothing for her children so that they may look fresh and elegant and new for once in their lives.So Mrs. Sommers rests at the counter where she will begin her shopping adventure. There she finds a pair of silk stockings for sale and is entranced by their smoothness. Not thinking at all, she disregarded her plan of buying clothes for her children and instead spends her money and her afternoon on herself. She purchases boots to go with her stockings, gets fitted for gloves, reads expensive magazines while lunching at a high-class restaurant, and ends her day sharing chocolate with a fellow moviegoer . After the movie ends, she boards the cable car to return home with “a strong wish, a powerful longing that the cable car would never stop anywhere, but go on and on with her forever.”The story was first published in Vogue. Chopin chose to write for Vogue because the magazine was extraordinarily “fearless and truthful” in the 1890s in its description of women and their lives. Scholar Emily Toth observes that many of Chopins stories were published in Vogue, including The Story of an Hour. Vogue published these stories so eagerly that , Toth suggests, it gives Chopin the decidedly false impression that American reviewers would be accepting of her coming The Awakening. （此题为原创题）24.

A brief introduction to Mrs. Sommers.CA critically endangered species of rhino is now extinct in Vietnam, according to a report by conservation groups. WWF and the International Rhino Foundation said the countrys last Javan rhino was probably killed by pochers (偷猎者) , as its horn had been cut off.Experts said the news was not a surprise, as only sighting had been recorded in Vietnam since 2008. Fewer than 50 individuals are now estimated to remain in the wild. “It is painful that despite significant investment in Vietnamese rhino conservation, efforts failed to save this unique animal, ” said WWFs Vietnamese director.“Vietnam has lost part of its natural heritage.” Experts said genetic analysis of dung(粪便) samples collected between 2009 and 2010 in the Cat Tien National Park showed that they all belonged to just one individual. Shortly after the survey was completed ,conservationists found out that the rhino had been killed. They said it was likely to have been the work of poachers because it had been shot in the leg and its horn had been cut off.Globally, there has been a sharp increase in the number of rhino poaching cases. Earlier this year, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) published a report that said rhino populations in Africa were facing their worst poaching crisis for decades. An assessment carried out by TRAFFIC , the global wildlife trade monitoring network ,said the increase in the illegal trade in rhino horns was being driven by demands from Asian medicinal markets.The Vietnamese rhino , as well as being the last of species on mainland Asia, was also the second subspecies to disappear, following the extinction of the Indian Javan rhino. （此题为原创题）28.

Javan rhinos are extinct inVietnamDHalloween is the one night of the year when youd expect to see trick-or-treating children on your doorstep.But, what if a child knocked on your door to ask for help rather than sweets and treats? This is what UK charity Retrak tried to find out on Oct. 31, a night when many children were out on the streets dressed in their Halloween costumes.The charity which campaigns to end child homelessness cooperates with creative agency Shape History to conduct a social experiment in which a child actor acted as a homeless child and knocked on doors in London to find out how people would respond when faced with a similar situation.Nine-year-old Jessica Bray knocked on doors in a neighbourhood in north London.Some asked Jessica what she needed, where she was going, where she came from and whether or not she was lost. Some people even asked her to come inside.However, not everyone responded in such a way. Some locked the door; others asked why Jessica was knocking on their door and told her to knock on another door.A spokesperson for Shape History toldMashablethat the motivation was to provide an opportunity to document that people care about homeless children.We didnt expect such negative reactions from some people towards such a young helpless child, but of course were uplifted by others, the spokesperson said.Jessica was informed in advance of the experiment to ensure her safety wasnt compromised. Jessicas mum and the crew were outside the properties at all times and they were in contact with her via a radio.The video producers chose a location where money and capacity to support a young girl wouldnt a problem, the spokesperson confirmed.While the experiment highlights the varying and often alarming responses people have when faced with homeless people, the experiment is not representative of the population.（此题为原创题）32.
