I work with Volunteers for Wildlife，a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley.Trying to help injured，displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking；survival is never certain.However，when it works，it is simply beautiful.
   I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown.She had found a young owl（貓頭鷹） on the ground.When I arrived，I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl.It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.
   I examined the chick（雛鳥）and it seemed fine.If I could locate the nest，I might have been able to put it back，but no luck.My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.
   The homeowner was very helpful.A wire basket was found.I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable.I placed the chick in the nest，and it quickly calmed down.
   Now all that was needed were the parents，but they were absent.I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks.These advertise the presence of chicks to adults；they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well.I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.
   A nervous night to be sure，but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all!The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings.I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active.And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all - LUNCH!The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.

  • 1．It was a quiet village in which there was a military camp（軍營）.It was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around.Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers.But it was difficult for the young men to go outside.Mr.White，an officer of forty，was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.
       Once Mr.White was ill in bed.He couldn't work and a young officer，Mr.Hunt，began to train the new soldiers instead of him.He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday.But night fell and none came back to the camp.He was worried about it and stood at the gate.It was five to twelve when Mr.Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening with the young men.He started the car quickly and set off.At that moment the nine soldiers came back.It seemed they were all drunk.Of course they found the officer was angry.
       "I'm sorry，sir，" said the first soldier. "I left the town on time.But something was wrong with my bus on my way here.I had to buy a horse and made it run fast.Bad luck!It died and I had to run back."
       And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons.It was the last soldier's turn.He said，"I'm sorry，sir.I got on a bus on time，but…"

  • 3．There is an old saying in Chinese： "To do a good job，one must first sharpen one's tools." When it comes to photography，however，it's not exactly the case.In this year's National Geographic Travel Photo Contest，Greenlandic Winter，a picture by Chinese photographer Chu Weimin，took first place in the cities category and won the overall grand prize as well.
       When asked why he chose Upernavik，a small fishing village in Greenland，to take his pictures，Chu described the first time he spotted the village from an airplane. "Through my entire flight，I could only see the land，covered by pure white ice and snow.But I suddenly saw a big，warm dot in the far distance — Upernavik，" he told National Geographic. "The beauty of this tranquil（寧靜的）village was beyond my imagination.It was a 'wow' moment for me." This ability to identify a "wow moment" is what makes a good travel photographer.
       According to Chu，he was moved by Upernavik's blue tint at dusk，the warm yellow light from the windows，and the family of three walking along the snowy street.Although he is a professional photographer，many of Chu's Greenland pictures were shot with his phone.
       This attitude echoes that of Austrian-American photographer Ernest Haas（1921-1986）.Haas told his students that they were too obsessed with cameras to understand the essence of photography. "The camera doesn't make a bit of difference，" Haas said. "All of them can record what you are seeing.But you have to SEE."
       Perhaps it's not just in photography that we've put too much emphasis on the role of tools.How many of you are reluctant to start a new sport or learn new software simply because you don't yet have the "right" outfit（裝備）or computer？
       It's true that "sharpened" tools make the work easier，hut as reporter Abhilash Pavuluri wrote on Firstpost： "In the end，it's really the artist that makes a good painting，not the paintbrush."

    （1）What do we know about Chu Weimin？

    A．He is better at photographing people than scenery.
    B．His award-winning picture is set in a peaceful village.
    C．His shooting style stands out from other photographers.
    D．He is the first Chinese person to win the National Geographic Photo Contest.
    （2）What's the main purpose of Paragraph 3？

    A．To explain why Chu's picture stands out.
    B．To introduce Chu's love for Upernavik.
    C．To recommend a good place for taking photos.
    D．To describe Chu's inspiration for the winning picture.
    （3）What makes a good photographer，according to Haas？

    A．The ability to find beauty.
    B．Enthusiasm for photography.
    C．Having rich parents.
    D．Owning the best camera equipment.
    （4）The underlined word "reluctant" in paragraph 5 has the closest meaning to
    .
    A．glad
    B．unwilling
    C．confident
    D．supposed
