I have wrked as a keeper at the Natinal Z fr 11 years. Spt and Stripe are the first tiger
cubs (幼兽) that have ever been brn here. Glbally, a third f Sumatran cubs in zs dn't
make it t adulthd, s I decided t give them rund-the-clck care at hme.
I've gt tw children—the yunger ne, Kynan, was extremely happy abut the tigers
arriving—but all f us really lked frward t being part f their lives and watching them
grw. I wasn't wrried abut bringing them int my hme with my wife and kids. These
were cubs. They weighed abut 2.5 kg and were s small that there was abslutely n risk.
As they grew mre mbile, we let them mve freely arund the huse during the day, but
when we were asleep we had t cntain them in a large rm, therwise they'd get up t
mischief. We'd cme dwn in the mrning t find they'd turned the rm upside dwn,
and left it lking like a z.
Things quickly gt very intense due t the huge amunt f energy required t lk after
them. There were sme tugh times and I just felt extremely tired. I was grateful that my
family was there t help. We had t have a bit f a prductin line ging, making up "tiger
milk", washing baby bttles, and cleaning the flrs.
When Spt and Stripe were fur mnths ld, they were learning hw t pen drs and
jump fences, and we knew it really was time fr them t g. It was hard fr us t finally part
with them. Fr the first few days, Kynan was always a bit disappinted that the cubs weren't
there.
I'm nt sad abut it. I'm hands-n with them every day at the z, and I d lk back very
fndly n the time that we had them.

A British wman wh wn a $1 millin prize after she was named the Wrld's Best Teacher will
use the cash t bring inspiratinal figures int UK schls.
Andria Zafiraku, a nrth Lndn secndary schl teacher, said she wanted t bring abut a
classrm revlutin (变革). "We are ging t make a change," she said. "I've started a prject t
prmte the teaching f the arts in ur schls."
The prject results frm the difficulties many schls have in getting artists f any srt—
whether an up-and-cming lcal musician r a majr mvie star—int schls t wrk with and
inspire children.
Zafiraku began the prject at Alpertn Cmmunity Schl, her place f wrk fr the past
twelve years. "I've seen thse magic mments when children are talking t smene they are
inspired by—their eyes are shining and their faces light up," she said. "We need artists, mre than
ever in ur schls."
Artist Michael Craig-Martin said: "Andria's brilliant prject t bring artists frm all fields int direct cntact with children is particularly welcme at a time when the arts are being dwngraded
in schls." It was a mistake t see the arts as unnecessary, he added.
Histrian Sir Simn Schama is als a supprter f the prject. He said that arts educatin in
schls was nt just an add-n. "It is abslutely necessary. The future depends n creativity and
creativity depends n the yung. What will remain f us when artificial intelligence takes ver will
be ur creativity, and it is ur creative spirit, ur visinary sense f freshness, that has been ur
strength fr centuries."
28. What will Zafiraku d with her prize mney? A. Run a prject. B. Build new schls.
C. Make a mvie. D. Help lcal musicians.
29. What des Craig-Martin think f the teaching f the arts in UK schls?
A. It is particularly difficult. B. It increases artists' incme.
C. It pens children's mind. D. It deserves greater attentin.
30. What shuld be stressed in schl educatin accrding t Schama?
A. Mral principles. B. Interpersnal skills. C. Creative abilities. D. Psitive wrldviews.
31.Which f the fllwing is a suitable title fr the text?
A. Arts Educatin in Britain B. The Wrld’s Best Arts Teacher C. Bring Artists t Schls D. When Histrians Meet Artists
An Australian prfessr is develping a rbt t mnitr the health f grazing cattle, a
develpment that culd bring big changes t a prfessin that's relied largely n a lw-tech
apprach fr decades but is facing a labr shrtage.
Salah Sukkarieh, a prfessr at the University f Sydney, sees rbts as necessary given hw
cattlemen are aging. He is building a fur-wheeled rbt that will run n slar and electric pwer.
It will use cameras and sensrs t mnitr the animals. A cmputer system will analyze the vide
t determine whether a cw is sick. Radi tags (标签) n the animals will measure temperature
changes. The quality f grassland will be tracked by mnitring the shape, clr and texture (质
地) f grass. That way, cattlemen will knw whether they need t mve their cattle t anther
field fr nutritin purpses.
Machines have largely taken ver planting, watering and harvesting crps such as crn and
wheat, but the mnitring f cattle has gne thrugh fewer changes.
Fr Texas cattleman Pete Bnds, it's increasingly difficult t find wrkers interested in
watching cattle. But Bnds desn't believe a rbt is right fr the jb. Years f experience in the
industry—and failed attempts t use technlgy—have cnvinced him that the best way t check
cattle is with a man n a hrse. Bnds, wh bught his first cattle almst 50 years ag, still has
each f his cwbys inspect 300 r 400 cattle daily and lk fr signs that an animal is getting
sick.
Other cattlemen see mre prmise in rbts. Michael Kelsey Paris, vice president f the
Oklahma Cattlemen's Assciatin, said a rbt culd be extremely useful given rising cncerns
abut cattle theft. Cattle tend t be kept in remte places and their value has risen, making them
appealing targets.
32. What is a prblem with the cattle-raising industry?
A. Sil B. Lack f C. Aging D. Lw
pllutin. wrkers. machines. prfitability.
33. What will Sukkarieh's rbt be able t d?
A. Cure the diseased cattle. B. Mnitr the quality f grass.
C. Predict weather changes. D. Mve cattle t anther field.
34. Why des Pete Bnds still hire cwbys t watch cattle?
A. He thinks men can d the jb B. He wants t help them earn a
better. living.
C. He is inexperienced in using D. He enjys the traditinal way f
rbts. life.
35.Hw may rbts help with cattle watching accrding t Michael Kelsey?
A. Increase the value f cattle. B. Bring dwn the cst f labr.
C. Make the jb mre appealing. D. Keep cattle frm being stlen.

A little by selling magazines fr schl walked up t a huse that peple rarely visited. The
