Carol began treatment afterwards. She felt almost 24  and went right back to work. Carol hates the idea of being 25  as a “sick” person. She likes her life 26  .

Morning and afternoon, we went diving and rolled into the clear water 32  down like peas in honey. In the evenings, we spent time on the pier, watching the sun set.

Nakushi didn’t tell her parents when the older boys started to harass (骚扰) her on her way from her home to school in south Delhi, seizing her hand and shouting “kiss me”，because she knew she would get the blame. She was right: when her family found out, they banned her from going back to school，worried about the effect on their“honor”. The plan now is to get her married. She is 16.

Sumen，a 35-year-old mother， is battling for her child’s future， too. Her nine-year-old son， Kapil, has learning disabilities and she has tried and failed to get him into school every year. Finally, the authorities have agreed he should get some education，but it’s only for one day a week.

In India，a free and compulsory education is guaranteed for all children aged between 6 and 14. But going to school is one thing; the quality of the education you get is another. Within government schools，pupils face many challenges: overcrowded classrooms, absent teachers and dirty conditions are common complaints，which can lead parents to decide it is not worth their child going to school. Inside one of the schools, some of the classrooms have low benches and desks. In others，the lttle girls sit on the floor， books in their laps. In several, no teacher is present; one man appears to be responsible for three of the small rooms.

It is girls, the very poor and the disabled who are often left behind. Nakushi had imagined herself working for the police, or becoming a teacher.“ My parents are looking for a boy for me," she says. “They say I can get married and then I can study. But I know that once I get married, it will become very difficult. My dream will never come true.”

1.Why didn’t Nakushi tell her parents about the harassment?

A.She was unwilling to leave school. B.She didn’t want to get married.

C.She thought it wouldn’t help. D.She worried about the honor.

2.Why couldn’t Kapil have regular school education?

A.His family gave up on him. B.He had difficulty in learning.

C.His mother couldn’t afford it. D.The authorities treated him unfairly.

3.What can be inferred from the third paragraph?

A.All children must go to government schools.

B.Few parents choose government schools for their kids.

C.Facilities in government schools are far from satisfactory.

D.Shortage of teachers is the biggest problem in government schools.

4.Which could be the best title for the text?

A.Nakushi’s Impossible Dream

B.Big Challenges in Indian Children’s Education

C.Girls Facing Difficulty in Education

D.Hope for a Better Learning Environment

When she first started learning about the climate change from one of her elders, Fawn Sharp was invited on a helicopter flight over the the Olympic Mountains to survey the Mount Anderson glacier. But the glacier was gone, melted by the warming climate. Sharp had a deep sense of loss when she discovered the glacier wasn't there anymore.

Loss is a growing issue for people working and living on the front lines of climate change. And that gave Jennifer Wren Atkinson, a full-time lecturer at the university of Washionton Bothell, US, an idea for a class.

This term, she taught students on the Bothell campus about the emotional burdens of environmental studies. She used the experiences of Native American tribes(部落), scientists and activists, and asked her 24 students to face the reality that there is no easy fix--that “this is such an intractable problem that they're going to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives.”

Student Cody Dillon used to be a climate science skeptic(怀疑论者)， Then he did his own reading and research，and changed his mind.

Dillon wasn't going into environmental work- he was a computer-science major. Yet, the potential for a worldwide environmental catastrophe seemed so real to him five years ago that he quit his job and became a full-time volunteer for an environmental group that worked on restoration projects.

Six months into the work he decided that Atkinson’s class was just what he was looking for--a place where he could discuss his concerns about a changing climate.

Atkinson said she hopes the class helped her students prepare themselves for the amount of environmental loss that will happen over their lifetimes .

“We are already changing the planet--so many species are going to be lost, displaced or massively impacted, "she said, “The future isn't going to be what they imagined.”

1.Why did the author mention the case of Fawn Sharp?

A.To lay a basis for Fawn Sharp’s further research.

B.To prove Fawn Sharp's work is similar to Atkinson's.

C.To lead into the issue of loss caused by climate change.

D.To show scientists’ concern about the Mount Anderson glacier.

2.What's the main purpose of Atkinson’s class?

A.To explore how different people deal with climate change.

B.To get students more concemed about the environmental Issue.

C.To find solutions to the environmental issue of Olympic Mountains.

D.To teach students how to conduct research about environment.

3.Which of the following best explains "intractable" underlined in Paragraph Three?

A.Simple. B.Difficult.

C.Common. D.Interesting.

4.How did Atkinsons class influence Dillon?

A.It made him work as a part-time volunteer for restoration Projects.

B.It made him realize a planet-wide climate disaster would happen.

C.It encouraged him to be more involved in environmental protection.

D.It discouraged him from protecting the environment.
