The animal kingdom has a new member. On September 12, 2012, researchers made a report to the world that they discovered a new species(物种) of monkey. It is called the lesula. And it is only the second monkey species discovered in 28 years.
Scientists first saw the lesula in June, 2007 in Congo, a country in Africa. The lesula lives in the rain forests. The monkey was first found as a pet in a local family. When researchers found it, the family told them that they caught the monkey in the wild and then kept it as a pet.
The scientists have compared the lesula to the owl-faced monkey. The owl-faced monkey gets its name for having a long nose and a face that looks like an owl(猫头鹰). The lesula and the owl-faced monkey are similar in size and both have a stripe(条纹) on their nose. This shows the lesula and the owl-faced monkeys are close relatives, but different species. Scientists say the lesula usually weighs about twelve pounds. It has long blond hair. It eats like a vegetarian(素食者).
Scientists say it is important to protect African rain forests because there may be other new species like lesula to be discovered in the future.

It’s nothing new to learn on the Internet, but since 2012, a new kind of online education has become more and more popular. Do you know what it is? It is called MOOC(大规模在线公开课程).
In 2012, two Stanford professors, Sebastian Thrun and Peter Norvig, decided to offer their lessons for free online. To their surprise, more than 160,000 students in 190 countries took their classes. This led them to build Udacity.com, the first website for MOOC. In less than a year, other MOOC websites, such as Coursera.com and EdX.com, were also set up.
MOOC is different from usual online learning. Professors have been trying to keep it similar to a real class. You should sign up(报名)to take the class. You can communicate with other students in many different ways. You have to answer some questions when you watch videos, and you will have some homework to do after class. If you take the class on time, do all the homework, and pass the final test, you can get a certificate in the end.
Some people believe MOOC will change the traditional education style. In the future, anyone at any age in any place can take classes for free. These classes are all from the best teachers of the best universities in the world!

It may be the happiest place on Earth, but the Magic Kingdom has become a little more restrictive(限制的) for the children hoping to enjoy Disney’s US parks on their own. Beginning on March 23 of this year, anyone under the age of 14 must go there with someone over 14. If a worker who works at the front gates sees a child who looks younger than 14 without a person who looks older than that, he will have a talk with the tourist. If he is sure the tourist is under 14, his parents will be contacted to pick them up.
Before this, Disney did not have any age restrictions(限制) for tourists. The new rule was set up after Disney conducted a survey of its tourists and contacted various child welfare association(福利机构). They both thought it was necessary to have the age requirement. The American Red Cross suggested that 14 is the minimum(最小的) age for babysitters(保姆).
News of the age restriction comes nearly a week. A child on vacation with his father and mother fell into a pool and died at Disneyland Pop Century Resort(度假村). Anthory Johnson was swimming in the hotel pool with a group of children including his little brother and a cousin at about 9:30 pm when the accident happened. Witnesses said the teen was playing in the water on Sunday evening without family members. A cousin found him under water around 9:10 pm and told others in the group who pulled him out of water. Orange Country Sheriff’s officials said after Anthony was taken to nearby hospital, he died several days later.
1.How does the worker know the child is under 14?
A. By contacting with his parents.
B. By seeing if the child comes on his own.
C. By seeing if the child comes with his parents.
D. By looking at the child’s appearance and talking with him.
2.What ISN’T the reason for setting up the new rule?
A. 14 is the minimum age for babysitters.
B. Children like to play in Disney’s US parks with their parents.
C. Tourists think it’s necessary to have the age requirement.
D. A child on vacation with his parents died in a pool at Disney’s Pop Century Resort.
3.What’s the main idea of this passage?
