Every country has its typical animals. Some animals can even stand for the country. So which animal can best stand for China? Maybe you would say the panda because it is Chinese national treasure. But there is another animal that can really represent China and　 even Chinese culture the dragon. Although nobody knows if there is a dragon in the world, it has been regarded as the symbol of China for thousands of years. There are many descriptions of dragons in Chinese history.

The dragon is the symbol of emperor in ancient times, and the dragon is great, because it gets the respect of all the Chinese people. In China, the dragon is an amazing animal. Even now we call ourselves descendants of the dragon, and we are proud of it. But in the western countries, people think the dragon is a strange thing.It is a terrible animal like a huge snake , and it’s not positive and beautiful.

Both Chinese and western people should pay attention to this cultural difference, or we may make a joke or even a mistake. Having a full understanding of the differences between Chinese and Western culture is important for cultural exchange.

Americans think that travel is good for people. Some even think it can help one of the country’s worst problems—crime(犯罪).

Crime worries a lot of people. Every year, the number of crimes goes up and up. They often come from sad homes, with only one parent or no parents at all. There are problems with alcohol(酒精) and drugs.

There are many young criminals(罪犯) in prison(监狱). But prison doesn’t change them—60 to 70 percent(百分比) will go back to crime when they come out of prison.

One man, Bob Burton, thought of a new idea. In the old days, young men had to live a hard life on the road. They learned to be strong and brave, and to help their friends in time of danger. This helped them to grow into men. So Bob started “Vision Quest”.

He takes young criminals on a long, long journey with horses and wagons(货车) 3,000 miles through 7 states. They are on the road for more than one year.

The young people on Vision Quest all have bad problems. Most of them have already spent time in prison. This is their last chance.

It’s hard work on the road. The day starts before the sun comes up. The boys and girls have to feed the horses. Some of them have never loved anyone before. But they can love their horses. That love can help them to a new life.

Not all young people in Vision Quest will leave crime behind them. Thirty or forty percent till one day be in prison again. But that’s a lot better than 60 or 70 percent. Bob is right. Travel can be good for them.

Even today, Americans still say, “Go west, young men.”

1.According to the passages, travel is good for people because it can　　　　 .

A、get rid of(摆脱) crime completely

B、change the way of life

C、help to reduce criminals

2.Which of the following is NOT the character of the criminals?

A、A lot of them are young.

B、They may often drink wine too much and take drugs.

C、They like travelling far away from their homes.

3.Which of the following is TRUE?

A、Young criminals become less and less as time goes by.

B、All criminals do better after they come out of prison.

C、Many young criminals are changed better by Bob’s new idea.

4.The young people on Vision Quest have to　　　　 .

A、work all day and night

B、get up early to feed horses

C、love the homes

5.What does the underlined sentence “Go west, young men.” in the last paragraph mean?

A、People can learn to be strong and brave on a long journey.

B、People can learn to help others in time of danger on a long journey.

C、Both A and B.

We need animals. Every animal has its place in the balance(平衡) of nature. We should try to help save the animals.

Some people think zoos are good places. The zoos give the animals the comfortable and safe living places. If the animals get hurt or ill, people will take care of them. The zoo is a good place to know the rules in the wild world. We can be much closer to nature. We can know more about the animals in the zoos by watching, listening even smelling instead of just looking at the pictures in books.

Some people don’t think animals feel happy in the zoos. Animals like pandas, wolves and bears usually live in the wild. They play and find food by themselves. They are free and happy in the wild. If they are in the zoos, food is enough and rooms are comfortable. They do not need to do their best to find food to eat or places to stay in. They just walk around, sleep day and night, but they are not free at all.

I think we should build national parks as wild life nature reserves to protect animals. If we do nothing, animals will get fewer and fewer.
