• 1．Among the many things that Brisbane（布里斯班），Australia，does really well，is the care for kids.Here's a list of places that we think will be suitable for your kids.
     Swimming pools
     Simple way for happiness：mix kids with water.Of course，this is a choice for the hot summer months.
     Parks
     Free outdoor fun—that's what Brisbane's parks offer kids of all ages.Parks encourage imagination and activity for little people and a place for parents to let them run wild.

     The Children's Art Centre has proven very popular with their programs and exhibitions.We love the artist-run workshops and performances （unusually you must pay some money） specially designed for children too.
     South Bank Parklands
     South Bank Parklands has everything you need to keep little ones amused.Take them for a swim at the man-made beach，play on one of the playgrounds by the river.On weekends，go through the arts market or go to a cheap movie at the South Bank cinema.South Bank Parklands often hosts free events and performances too.
     Roma Street Parkland
     Close to bus transport，this inner city parkland is easily accessible（可進(jìn)入的） and ideal for kids of all ages.Younger kids can take a trip on the Jelly Bean Express，a 1.3 km trackless train ride around the parkland or there's a playground to explore.Free entry and open daily.

• 2．Two British teachers have broken the world record for the longest journey in a tuk-tuk after pulling their failing vehicle for 43 miles.Richard Sears and Nick Gough traveled 37，500 kilometers around the world and passed through 37 countries.They did this to support grassroots education project in Africa，Asia and South America.
     The pair，who set off from London，thought their expedition was over when the vehicle started to fail.When the tuk-tuk broke，they were only 43 miles from their destination.They decided to pull it the rest of the way.The tuk-tuk，which weighs 800 kilograms，was pulled in turns by Richard and Nick over three days.On arrival in Chepen，Peru，they discovered a mechanic who specialized in tuk-tuks and managed to fix it.
     The pair were back on the road and aiming for their next goal.Along their journey they had to tackle deserts and jungles.They also survived close encounters with elephants in Uganda and Botswana and an accident in Malaysia.The greatest hardship on the tuk-tuk was the mountain ranges lying in their path，including the Alps，the Himalayas and the Andes.
     Nick and Richard uncovered some inspirational projects across Africa，Asia and South America.They witnessed firsthand the educational challenges facing these areas today.They joined street children in the slums of Cairo，Khartoum，Kampala，Mumbai and Phnom Penh.They visited Congolese refugees（難民）in camps in Eastern Burundi.They witnessed how education could free sex-workers in Delhi and victims of human trafficking in Nepal.
     The pair established The Tuk Tuk Educational Trust，a UK registered charity.Talking about their motivation，Richard said，"The world's leaders have made a commitment to achieving universal primary education but，in spite of this pledge（誓言），over 57 million primary-aged children worldwide are still out of school；many more are in school，but still cannot access quality learning opportunities."

• 3．If you were asked to imagine a scientist，what image would come to your mind？The common idea that most kids from kindergarten through college have of a scientist is a man wearing a white lab coat with messy hair，big glasses，and several glass cups of mysterious colourful liquids giving off clouds of smoke.As for adults，the majority view scientists as strange people who spend 100 hours a week slaving away in a lonely laboratory.However，the reality is quite different.
     Recently I've had a chance to take part in a scientific experience far from my laboratory and into Costa Rica.It supports a huge amount of wildlife due to its geographical placement between North and South America.It is home to more than 500，000 species，which are at present nearly 4% of the total species worldwide!
     First we worked alongside conservationists to preserve wildlife at a leatherback turtle（棱皮龜）rescue centre.We helped the volunteers preserve the turtle population by removing rubbish from the shoreline to create a safe environment for turtle eggs to come out.After that we stayed at Mount Arenal where we studied seismic activity relating to earthquakes.During our stay at Arenal，we rode over the mountainous areas and took a long walk through the rainforest.After reaching the top，we went down and through waterfalls to the beautiful valley below!On the last day we got a hands-on introduction to rocket science where we learned about new rocket technology that will be used on the international space station.
     During my Costa Rica experience，I know that being a scientist doesn't mean working in a lab all day and night.A scientist is one who loves learning and getting a better understanding of the world from helping preserve wildlife，learning about earthquakes or inventing rockets.I think that schools should really stress that science is so much more than wearing a lab coat and mixing chemicals.Kids need to be aware of the excitement and adventures science can bring!
  
  （1）According to the first paragraph，scientists are often believed

  .
  A．to work as slaves
  B．to spend too much time in labs
  C．to behave in a strange way
  D．to do experiments in messy labs
  （2）How did the author help to preserve the turtle population？

  
  A．By creating a safe nest for turtles.
  B．By collecting the turtle eggs on the beach.
  C．By picking up rubbish from the shoreline.
  D．By finding a comfortable environment for turtles.
  （3）What does the author learn about science from his experience？

  
  A．Science is full of boring experiments.
  B．Science is more than working in a lab.
  C．Science is related to mysterious liquids.
  D．Science is about wildlife and earthquakes.
  （4）What might be the best title of this passage？

  
  A．What a Scientist Is Like
  B．My wonderful experience in Costa Rica
  C．the Adventures and Excitement Science Can Bring
  D．the Secrets behind Science Phenomena（現(xiàn)象）.
