Passage
Clive Walker is chairman of the Wilderness Trust of Southern Africa,founder of the Lapalala Wilderness School,an exhibiting wilderlife artist and author of seveal natural history books.As such,Walker is recognised as one of South Africa's foremost conservationists(环保人士)—and allround(多才的)good guy.
He has fought to protect the black and white rhinoceros—targets for ruthless(无情的) hunters because their horn(角) gets high prices in Asian countries—and through the wilderness school,has taught thousands of children from South Africa and overseas about nature and conservation.
His latest project is an application to the United Nations Educational,Scientific,and Cultural Organiation(UNESCO) to have the Waterberg area in South Africa's Northern Province become a biosphere reserve(生物圈保护区).Walker believes the future of conservation in South Africa lies in education and in private game reserves.
In 1981 Walker was point taking(定点导游) adults on wilderness walks.At that point,he decided he wanted to “do something for children”through the establishment of an environmental school.“Conita and I were prepared to look at children whose parents could afford it,and those children who came from backgrounds whose parents could never do it.After that Conita and I set out to find a place that would be safe,sufficiently close to the main areas of Johannesburg and Pretoria,bemalaria(疟病)free,have water and be benefit to education on the environment.They found this in Lapalala.In the first year,30 children—10 of them blacks fromSoweto—were present to visit the reserve.Nowadays,3,000 children a year spend time there.Those lucky enough to visit his wilderness school will see—among many species—white rhino,warthogs and red hartebeests.“What made it really bad was when I started mixing black children with white children.”When aneighbour reported Walker to the security police and at last he was asked at their notorious headquarters,Walker said“I told them that all I was trying to achieve was to give children of South Africa,regardless of their background,an understanding of conservation and awareness that our survival dependsso much on it.”
Walker survived the questioning after his point successfully,the school remained open—and at least 45,000 children and teachers have had the pleasure of experiencing the Lapalala Wilderness and its abundant wildlife over the past 19 years1. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?
A45,000 children and teachers a year spend time there to enjoy the pleasure of experiencing the Lapalala Wilderness.
B.In the past 19 years,it was wholly only white people who could afford such a trip.
C. A special conservationist who tried to open up the Nature's attractions to the black people of South Africa ran into trouble.
D. Those lucky enough students in Walker's Wilderness School will see somecommon species like as milu deer, African elephant and red hartebeests.
2. What would be the best title for the text?
A.Clive Walker and His Wilderness Trust
B.Allround Good Guy
C.Preserving Africa's Wildlife Kingdom
D.Lapalala Wilderness
3. How many persons are exactly mentioned in the text?
A.One.B.Two. C.Three. D.Four.
Passage
Jonathan James looks like just another kid about to graduate from high school.But this 19yearold Swede is anything but ordinary,from the computer in his parents' home he helps the US Federal Bureau of Investigation(FBI) find out the world's most wanted cyber criminals(网络犯罪分子).
Jonathan first made headlines when he and another Swede,Fredrik Bjoerck,found out the maker of the“Melissa” virus(病毒)in March 1999.He came to the aid of the FBI again on May 7,finding out the suspected(嫌疑的) sender of the dangerous I LOVE YOU” virus.The suspect was caught in Manila on May 8.
Jonathan's special skills are in hot demand as officials around the world express alarm at the“virtual”crimewave.In between studying for final exams,hanging out with friends and refereeing his younger brother's football matches,the quiet,gentle teenager also gives lessons on esecurity (电子安全)to large companies.He reads a lot and exchanges information with other computer experts to know much about the latest tricks of the hacker (黑客)trade.
Many companies have already tried to employ him,but he is not interested at the moment.Instead,he plans to begin law school in the autumn at Sweden's Uppsala University and start up his own e-security company.
Although he works with the FBI now,his family insists he's just“a regular kid.“Jonathan is a great kid,he has his friends and he does a lot more than just play with the computer,”his little sister Tessa said,adding that he helps the FBI because “he likes to help”，not because he's looking for fame and recognition.
When the world was hit by the “Love Bug”virus,Jonathan was too busy preparing a speech on e-security to look into the problem“Finally on May 7,I had some free time,so I began looking.”Within a few hours,he had found thesuspect and emailed his method and results to the FBI.He said his work on the “Melissa”virus,which took three weeks to solve,was a big help in finding the suspect so quickly“This time I knew exactly where to start,I knew what to disregard and what to look at.”
