Every year from March to October, Christian Moullec, also known as “Birdman,” takes to the skies aboard his adapted light aircraft. However, the 58-year-old Frenchman’s daily 30-minute flight is not just to enjoy the impressive views, but to guide flocks (鸟群) of lesser white-fronted geese (小白额雁) through safe migration paths which the birds can teach future generations.

His deed began in 1995 when he noticed their declining population in the wilds of Lapland, Sweden. To prevent their numbers from dropping further, Moullec tried to get the threatened species to follow him along migration routes that would protect them from bird hunters.

However, getting grown geese to follow his lead proved challenging. As young geese imitate and follow whomever they view as their parent, Moullec decided to raise the geese from birth.

To help raise funds and awareness of his job to protect not just the geese but birds worldwide, Moullec often allows paying tourists to join him on the 30-minute-long flights aboard his aircraft. In addition to the trained birds flying alongside them, visitors, who come from as far as a 15-hour plane flight away, are treated to a variety of crane and geese species as well as breathtaking views of castles and cities.

He often brings his camera along for the flights, capturing photos not just for their beauty, but for what they describe. Moullec believes the use of agricultural chemicals has done harm to wild European birds, with more than a third disappearing in the last 30 years. “It's a disaster,” he said. “My beautiful images with flying birds should be used to tell this story. ”

1.Why does “Birdman” always fly to the sky on his aircraft?

A.To observe geese along their migration routes.

B.To follow geese through safe migration paths.

C.To take visitors to operate his adapted aircraft.

D.To guide geese fly safely during the migration.

2.What do we know about “Birdman”？

A.He is a nature lover. B.He is a bird watcher.

C.He is a volunteer pilot. D.He is a bird hunter.

3.What does Moullec often take photos in his flights for?

A.Recording the use of agricultural chemicals.

B.Showing serious damage caused by chemicals.

C.Describing his experiences with flying birds.

D.Capturing the beautiful views of birds and cities.

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Birdman Guides Flocks to Learn to Fly.

B.Birdman Finds Birds Disappearing.

C.Birdman Helps Flocks Safely Migrate.

D.Birdman Protects Birds From Hunters.

When Gretchen Baxter gets home from work as a New York City book editor, she checks her Blackberry at the door. “I think we are attached to these devices in a way that is not always positive,” says Baxter, who’d rather focus at home on her husband and 12-year-old daughter. “It’s there and it beckons(召唤). That’s human nature (but)…we kind of get crazy sometimes and we don’t know where it should stop.”

Americans are connected at unprecedented(前所未有的) levels—93% now use cell phones or wireless devices; one third of those are “smart phones” that allow users to browse the web and check e-mails, among other things. The benefits are obvious: checking messages on the road, staying in touch with friends and family, efficiently using time once spent waiting around. The downside: often, we’re effectively disconnecting from those in the same room.

That’s why, despite all the technology that makes communicating easier than ever, 2010 was the year we stopped talking to one another. From texting at dinner to posting on Facebook from work or checking e-mails while on a date, the connectivity revolution is creating a lot of divided attention, not to mention social anxiety. Many analysts say it’s time to step back and reassess (再评价).

“What we’re going to see in the future is new opportunities for people to be plugged in and connected like never before,” says Scott Campbell. “It can be a good thing, but I also see new ways the traditional social construction is getting somewhat torn apart.”

Our days are filled with beeps and pings—many of which pull us away from tasks at hand or face-to-face conversations. We may feel that the distractions(干扰) are too much, but we can’t seem to stop posting, texting or surfing. “We’re going through a period of adjustment and rebalancing, ” says Sherry Turkle and she wants to remind people that technology can be turned off. “Our human purposes are to really have connections with people,” she says. “We have to reclaim it. It’s not going to take place by itself.”

1.According to Paragraph 1, Gretchen Baxter thinks _____.

A. the new technology always influences people’s life in a positive way

B. the new technology always influences people’s life in a negative way

C. the family isn’t that important compared to the new technology

D. people are too dependent on the new technology to let go

2. The underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 2 probably means _____.

A. advantage             B. weakness

C. strength                D. effect

3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The wide use of mobile devices has nothing to do with the traditional social construction.

B. Mobile devices play a less important part in American life.

C. Mobile devices create a lot of divided attention and social anxiety.

D. Many analysts speak highly of the wide popularity of mobile devices.

4. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. Something must be done to get connection with people in reality again.

B. Using mobile services can help people get con- nection with each other.

C. Mobile services have a strong impact on people’s life.

D. The connection with people can happen naturally.
