Wind farms(风电场)and flyovers (立交桥) which block (遮挡) some of the country’s most glorious views are the biggest threats to Britain's cultural heritage, the president of English Heritage has said. Simon Thurley said his“biggest challenge” was to find ways to stop the buildings of wind farms and other structures from blocking historic buildings and monuments.
He said, “My focus, and the focus of English Heritage, is to design ways that we can judge the effects of wind farms and other structures. Dr Thurley said the laws to protect monuments and historic buildings were “too old”. Changes were needed to laws so that the views of the listed buildings were protected, he told the audience at the Cheltenham Literature Festival.
Thurley gave the example of Ely, in Cambridgeshire, where he said English Heritage was fighting plans to build a flyover that would block views of this historic cathedral. “The heritage law we have today was not designed to protect the views of Ely Cathedral.” he said, “It was designed to stop (people) pushing it down.”
Dr Thurley said his another challenge was getting the 1970's concrete (混凝土) buildings listed. “We have to work out which ones are worth saving because there's a lot of junk,” he said. He added that for years the government ministers had refused to allow them to be listed, and viewed them as monsters' particularly Margaret Hodge, who refused to list any concrete buildings at all when she was Culture Minister.
But the current minister Ed Vaizey had recently agreed to the listing of the “concrete huge building” of Preston bus station.
Dr Thurley also said that more than 400 buildings, which currently were owned and run by English Heritage, were going to be transferred to a charity.
1．According to Simon Thurley, the biggest problem is that________.
A．there are too many wind farms and flyovers
B．there is no way to protect historic buildings
C．wind farms and flyovers block beautiful views
D．many of the cultural heritages have been damaged
2．Thurley thinks the laws need to be changed to________.
A．protect monuments and historical buildings
B．protect the views of the listed buildings
C．let people know more about the heritage
D．get used to the new time and situation
3．The underlined word “transferred” in the last paragraph means________.
A．given B．transported C．recommended D．changed
4．Where is Dr.Thurley's second challenge mainly from
A．The wind farm owners. B．The government minister.
C．Margaret Hodge. D．Ed Vaizey.

Winslow Homer was a famous American painter. Since Art History class in college，I had always admired his works and I was lucky to see a large exhibition of his works when I was in my early 30s. It was at this event that I bought a print of his painting “Snap the Whip”. It always hung in my classroom until I retired from teaching.
I thought it truly captured the freedom and fun of childhood. In the painting，a group of young boys are playing a game arm in arm on the grass ground in front of a farm house. They are jumping and laughing wildly with great joy. One of the boys is falling down to the ground. They are not even wearing shoes!
During my last year of teaching，there was a young woman in her first year of teaching right next door to me and we got to be good friends. She had been an art student before taking up education. Her eyes were drawn immediately to this print when she entered my room. So on my last day of teaching，after the students had left，I took the painting off the wall and walked next door and gave it to her.
She was really surprised，but very glad to have it. I was delighted that she liked it and all the students she would have would treasure it as much as I had. We found the perfect place for it on one of her walls and hung it together. I was happy that she brought back this wonderful memory for me.

6. What is the painting about？
A. Homeless children. B. The nature of children.
C. Hard-working farmers. D. The pleasure of working.
