A
To get to the tennis court, Conner Stroud has to push his wheelchair there.
The 15 year old from North Carolina, US was born without legs. But when he picks up his racquet (球拍) and begins to hit a ball, you quickly see that the young man just want to win.
Stroud began playing tennis at age 5 at the small tennis club his parents own. For years, he played against able bodied players by putting rubber on the stumps (残余部分) of his legs. Though he was a foot (30.48 cm) or two shorter than many of the players he played against, he won a number of matches. He became well known enough that he got to meet Rafael Nadal, his favorite player at the US Open in 2013.
“The most important thing is that he's happy，”Nadal told reports about Stroud after that 15 minute meeting. “He's playing tennis ... That's a great example of being happy even if life doesn't give you everything.”
Stroud started playing wheelchair tennis at 13 and now he is No 1 in the US.
Earlier this summer, he played for the US in the world's biggest junior wheelchair team tennis event — the World Team Cup. He played six matches and won five of them as the US won the cup for the first time since 2000.
“He is a polite boy, but he will rip (撕扯) your heart out trying to beat you，”Jason Harnett, a United States Tennis Association coach, said of Stroud. “You see that attitude in a lot of the best players, whether they are able bodied or disabled.”
Teenage players can often get disappointed and angry. Racquets sometimes get thrown. Players shout at themselves after missed shots. Stroud never does that.
“I just try to stay positive，” Stroud said. “After every point, I try to say I'm going to win the next point, or the next game, or the next game, or the whole match.
“There's always room to be positive. You can always win another time.”

Researchers have uncovered a village that may have been home to the builders of Stonehenge (巨石阵), the mysterious circular stone monument in England. The village of small
houses dates back to about 2600 BC. That's about the same time Stonehenge was built.
“Clearly, this is a place that was of enormous importance，” said researcher Mike Parker Pearson.
The ancient houses are at a site known as Durrington Walls, about two miles from Stonehenge. Researchers believe Stonehenge was a memorial site or cemetery for the villagers. The village also had a wooden version of the stone circle. It may have been used by people attending festivals at Stonehenge.
Eight of the houses have been excavated or dug up. Researchers say there may be as many as 25 of them. The wooden houses were square and about 14 feet long each side. There are signs of bed frames along the walls and of a dresser or storage unit. The houses also had fireplaces.
Two of the houses were separate from the others and may have been the homes of community leaders. Researchers say those sites didn't have the debris (残骸) and household trash that was found in the other homes. Stone tools，animal bones, arrowheads and other artifacts were found throughout the village site.

Visiting animals in their natural homes may sound like a great idea that helps to save them, but is it
Researchers writing in Trends in Ecology & Evolution on Oct 9 said that the interactions between wild animals and friendly eco tourists who want to take their pictures may put animals at greater risk of being eaten.
It is clear that many people visit protected areas every year. “Recent data showed that protected areas around the globe have 8 billion visitors per year; that's like each human on Earth visited a protected area once a year, and then some！”said Dainel Blumstein of the University of California, Los Anglels. “This amount of nature tourism and eco tourism can be added to the long list of ways in which humans cause fast environmental change.
The basic idea of the report is that humans change the ways animals act and those changes might affect other parts of their lives, according to Science Daily. Those changes in behavior and activity may put animals at risk.
“When animals spend time in ‘harmless’ ways with humans, they may let down their guard，”Blumstein said. As animals get used to feeling comfortable with humans, they may become braver in other situations, he says. “If this bravery continues when they meet real predators (捕食者), then they will die more often when they meet them.”
Eco tourism is in some ways similar to making animals live in human homes or in cities. In all three cases, regular interactions between people and animals tame. Evidence has shown that silver foxes that live with people become more laid back and less fearful; this results from evolutionary changes but also from spending time with humans. Simply put, as Blumstein asked in the Scientific American magazine：“Does eco tourism make animals dumb？”
And that's not all — humans can also scare away natural predators, creating the so called “human shield effect” and a safe environment for smaller animals that might make them braver, too. When humans are around, for example, vervet monkeys don't see as many leopards (猎豹) trying to eat them.
Blumstein says they hope to do more research into humans' interactions with wildlife. Scientists will now have to understand better how different species and species in different situations react to humans and when humans might put them at risk.
12. The main focus of report in Trends in Ecology & Evolution was the idea that .
A. eco tourism cause damage to the natural homes of wildlife
B. it is easy for eco tourists to build up trust with wide animals
C. the changes brought by eco tourism may be harmful
D. protected areas around the world are overloaded with tourists
13. The underlined word “dumb” in paragraph 6 probably means “ ”.
A. anxious B. active
C. curious D. stupid
14. The author uses vervet monkeys as an example to show that .
A. different species react to humans in different ways
B. the presence of humans reduces the threat from predators
C. smaller animals tend to be braver in front of predators
D. interactions with humans make animals more relaxed and less fearful

A. explain what eco tourism is
B. tell us something interesting about nature
C. suggest that we stop eating meat to save animals
D. wildlife tourism may seem helpful, but it can be deadly for some animals
