The Mogo Wildlife Park, an Australian zoo, saved all of its animals facing danger from bush fires (林区大火), thanks to a zookeeper, who brought monkeys, pandas, and even a tiger to his home. The Mogo Wildlife Park is located in the South coast. It is just 10 kilometers from Bateman’s Bay, a popular tourist place that has been seriously influenced by the fires, The fires have made thousands of people leave their homes and at least eight people die.
The zoo houses nearly 200 animals, including Sumatran tigers and southern white rhinos. Chad Staples, the director of the zoo, told the Broadcasting Company that zookeepers were well-prepared to protect the animals as bush fires broke out over the New Year’s Eve. “Thanks to the amazing staff here and a plan, no one is hurt, not a single animal,” Sara Ang from the wildlife park told BBC Radio 5 that some of the smaller monkeys and red pandas were moved into Staples’ home. Staples told the ABC that zookeepers felt it was safer to keep larger and more dangerous animals including lions and gorillas in their night enclosures (圈地) where they would feel more comfortable as bush fires burned around them.
Staples told The Times that the team on-site fought against fires at the 65-acre park for several hours. He thanked his staff for working tirelessly to protect the animals because they “love them like their own family”. The zoo confirmed on Tuesday that every animal was “safe and in wonderful care.”

Many people take running as a way to keep fit. They like to run in hot weather and enjoy the feeling of being wet through with sweat while running. Cold weather during winter months, with low temperatures and freezing cold winds, may keep many people from running in the open air.
However, a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason t run. In fact, running in cold weather helps improve one’s performance. Many runners might find it easier to run in winter than in hot weather.
Lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate is lower. And the body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather because the levels are lower in winter than in warmer conditions.
John Brewer is a professor of applied sport science at St. Mary’s University in London. For this study, he and other researchers put a group of people into a room where summer and winter weather conditions are recreated. The test subjects were asked to run 10, 000 meters under both conditions and their biological measurements were recorded and studied.
From the study, every movement runners make produces heat. The heat can be really damaging unless the body can lose it. One way in which people lose heat is by sweating. The body loses heat through droplets of sweat. The body also loses it by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin and it puts more stress on the heart, particularly in hot conditions because it’s much harder to lose heat when the outside environment is warm. As the result shows, running in hot temperatures results in 6 percent higher heart rates.
When running in cold conditions, the body does not have to work hard to pump blood to the skin’s surface. Therefore, it requires less energy. The most important thing for people who run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing. Keep as dry as possible when exercising in low temperatures. Wearmittens (连指手套) on your hands instead of gloves (分指手套). Wear more than one layer of clothing to keep sweat away from your skin. So, don’t let winter weather keep you indoors. Simply get ready for the low temperatures and start running.
Why do most people dislike running outdoors in winter
A. It’s too cold. B. It’s hard to run. C. It’s too easy to sweat. D. It’s bad for the heart rate.
Why did John Brewer make a group of people run in a room
A. It was easier to reduce stress.
B. It was easier to produce heat.
C. It was easier to recreate different weather conditions.
D. It was easier to record their biological measurements.
What should people wear while running in cold winter
A. A hat. B. Gloves.
C. More clothing. D. More than one layer of clothing.
What’s the purpose of the passage
A. To tell people not to run in summer.
B. To describe how runners run in winter.
C. To encourage people to run outdoors in winter.
D. To compare the advantages of running in winter and in summer.

Working from home is more and more popular as a means of escaping the nine-to-five office life. Why do you work under the eye of your boss when you can work in front of the TV in your slippers Armed with all the necessary things---telephone, computer, e-mail and fax, many workers believe they can work as effectively as their colleagues in the office. Being able to work wherever you like: from a busy city to a village, and not having to stand the daily things, make working from home an attractive choice. If you wish, you can even work on a river boat.
So what will become of the office tomorrow It is possible that many could go into computer space creating a new wave of virtual (虚拟的) offices. To minimize office in inner-city areas, companies will have a work force made up of a network of home, workers linked by an advanced communication and information system. A central processing computer would be controlled by the manager who sends out work schedules and oversees (监视) the activity of each employee.
A video screen would be created, as the need for e-mail or telephone becomes greater. Seeing the mood and expression of work colleagues, mangers would have the ability to view several employees at once on their screen. Employers would be encouraged to feed any information that may be useful to fellow workers into the computer to make the company work more effectively. As the company’s lifeblood, the computer would contain a record of all conversations and communication for future reference and hold secret information such as accounts in password (口令) protected areas.
Why does the author say “If you wish, you can even work on a river boat.” in the first paragraph
A. Because many people have to work on a boat.

Everyone knows that fish is good for health. The fats in fish are thought to help us keep away from heart disease. However, it seems that many people don’t cook fish at home. Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of each person a year, but we eat twice as many fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, keeping, or cooking fish isn’t difficult. It just requires a little knowledge. 41
When buying fish, you should first smell it. Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you’re standing by the ocean. 42 Do not buy it. When you have bought a fish and arrived home, you’d better keep the fish in the fridge if you don’t cook it immediately. Frozen fish isn’t as tasty as the fresh one. 43
There are many common methods used to cook fish. Is there anything better than a piece of properly cooked fish 44 Here are some steps to teach you how to steam fish in a rice cooker. First, clean it and mix it with your choice of spices (调料). Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one pound. (A larger one will take more time.) 45 Be careful when opening the steam pot. Hot steam will come out once you open the pot and it can easily burn you.
