Hidden valley looks a lot like the
dozens of other camps that dot the woods of central Maine. There’s a lake, some
soccer fields and horses. But the campers make the difference. They’re all
American parents who have adopted kids from China. They’re at Hidden Valley to
find bridges from their children’s old worlds to the new. Diana Becker of
Montville, Maine, watches her 3-year-old daughter Mika dance to a Chinese
version of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." "Her soul is Chinese," she says, "but
really she’s growing up American."
Hidden Valley and a handful
of other "culture camps" serving families with children from overseas reflect
the huge rise in the number of foreign adoptions, from 7,093 in 1990 to 15,774
last year. After cutting through what can be miles of red tape, parents often
come home to find a new dilemma.
A. Adopted children hold gathering here.
B. It helps children adapt to the new culture well.
C. It helps parents to exchange their ideas.
D. The families come for relaxation.

There are hidden factors which
scientists call "feedback mechanisms". No one knows quite how they will interact
with the changing climate. Here’s one example: plants and animals adapt to
climate change over centuries. At the current estimate of half a degree
centigrade of warming per decade, vegetation may not keep up. Climatologist
James Hansen predicts climate zones will shift toward the poles by 50 to 75
kilometers a year--faster than trees can naturally migrate. Species that find
themselves in an unfamiliar environment will die. The 1000-kilometer-wide strip
of forest running through Canada, Russia, and Scandinavia could be cut by half.
Millions of dying trees would soon lead to massive forest fires, releasing tons
of CO2 and further boosting global warming.
There are
dozens of other possible "feedback mechanism
A. how plants and animals adapt to hidden factors
B. how plants and animals interact with the changing climate
C. how climate changes
D. how climate zones shift

Death Valley is one of the most famous
deserts in the United States, covering a wide area with its alkali sand. Almost
20 percent of this area is well below sea level, and Badwater, a salt water
pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United
States.
Long ago the Panamint Indians called this place
"Tomesha"—the land of fire. Death Valley’s present name dates back to
1849, when a group of miners coming across from Nevada became lost in its
unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story.
Today Death Valley has been declared a National Monument (纪念碑) and is crossed by
several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the
change created by human settlement has hardly mined the special beauty of this
place.
Here nature created a lot of surprising,
A. Tomesha
B. Death Valley
C. Nevada
D. Badwater
[单项选择]The Goulburn Valley was one of Australia’s prosperous dairying regions. But over the last five years, it’s estimated that half the dairy farms have gone. Typically, the water has been sold off and the property converted to a hobby farm, or allowed to turn to weed-infested scrub(野草遍布的灌木). This scene of rural ruin is now spreading across Australia’s food bowl. Whole irrigation regions are on the edge of collapse. This disaster is threatening the nation’s food security.
Politicians blame the drought. But it’s much more than that. Mismanagement and gross policy neglect of irrigation have helped create the water shortages. Further, the federal and state governments, instead of investing in new water storages to increase the supply of water, and instead of turning over environmental flows to needy irrigation farms, are buying up irrigation water, not from willing sellers, but from desperate farmers trying to survive.
Consequently, investment in rural industries is being cut sho
A. They are investing in new water storage.
B. They are transferring flows to irrigate farms.
C. They are buying water from farmers.
D. They are cutting down the investment in rural industries.
