When Jhn Tdd was a child, he lved t explre the wds arund his huse, bserving hw nature slved prblems. A dirty stream, fr example, ften became clear after flwing thrugh plants and alng rcks where tiny creatures lived. When he gt lder, Jhn started t wnder if this prcess culd be used t clean up the messes peple were making.
After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in cllege, Jhn went back t bserving nature and asking questins. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria? Which kinds f fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals? With the right cmbinatin f animals and plants, he figured, maybe he culd clean up waste the way nature did. He decided t build what he wuld later call an ec-machine.
The task Jhn set fr himself was t remve harmful substances frm sme sludge. First, he cnstructed a series f clear fiberglass tanks cnnected t each ther. Then he went arund t lcal pnds and streams and brught back sme plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited. Little by little, these different kinds f life gt used t ne anther and frmed their wn ecsystem. After a few weeks, Jhn added the sludge.
He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the ec-machine tk the sludge as fd and began t eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water.
Over the years, Jhn has taken n many big jbs. He develped a greenhuse—like facility that treated sewage frm 1, 600 hmes in Suth Burlingtn. He als designed an ec-machine t clean canal water in Fuzhu, a city in sutheast China.
"Eclgical design" is the name Jhn gives t what he des. "Life n Earth is kind f a bx f spare parts fr the inventr," he says. "Yu put rganisms in new relatinships and bserve what's happening. Then yu let these new systems develp their wn ways t self-repair."
28. What can we learn abut Jhn frm the first tw paragraphs?
A. He was fnd f traveling. B. He enjyed being alne.
C. He had an inquiring mind. D. He lnged t be a dctr.
29. Why did Jhn put the sludge int the tanks?

C. T prtect the plants. D. T test the ec-machine.
30. What is the authr's purpse in mentining Fuzhu?
A. T review Jhn's research plans. B. T shw an applicatin f Jhn's idea.
C. T cmpare Jhn's different jbs. D. T erase dubts abut Jhn's inventin.

Grizzly bears, which may grw t abut 2.5 m lng and weigh ver 400 kg, ccupy a cnflicted crner f the American psyche—we revere them even as they give us frightening dreams. Ask the turists frm arund the wrld that fld int Yellwstne Natinal Park what they mst hpe t see, and their answer is ften the same: a grizzly bear.
"Grizzly bears are re-ccupying large areas f their frmer range," says bear bilgist Chris Servheen. As grizzly bears expand their range int places where they haven't been seen in a century r mre, they're increasingly being sighted by humans.
The western half f the U.S. was full f grizzlies when Eurpeans came, with a rugh number f 50,000 r mre living alngside Native Americans. By the early 1970s, after centuries f cruel and cntinuus hunting by settlers, 600 t 800 grizzlies remained n a mere 2 percent f their frmer range in the Nrthern Rckies. In 1975, grizzlies were listed under the Endangered Species Act.
Tday, there are abut 2,000 r mre grizzly bears in the U.S. Their recvery has been s successful that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has twice attempted t delist grizzlies, which wuld lsen legal prtectins and allw them t be hunted. Bth effrts were verturned due t lawsuits frm cnservatin grups. Fr nw, grizzlies remain listed.
Obviusly, if precautins aren't taken, grizzlies can becme trublesme, smetimes killing farm animals r walking thrugh yards in search f fd. If peple remve fd and attractants frm their yards and campsites, grizzlies will typically pass by withut truble. Putting electric fencing arund chicken huses and ther farm animal quarters is als highly effective at getting grizzlies away. "Our hpe is t have a clean, attractant-free place where bears can pass thrugh withut learning bad habits," says James Jnkel, lngtime bilgist wh manages bears in and arund Missula.
32. Hw d Americans lk at grizzlies?
A. They cause mixed feelings in peple. B. They shuld be kept in natinal parks.
C. They are f high scientific value. D. They are a symbl f American culture.
33. What has helped the increase f the grizzly ppulatin?
A. The Eurpean settlers' behavir. B. The expansin f bears' range.
C. The prtectin by law since 1975. D. The supprt f Native Americans.
34. What has stpped the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service frm delisting grizzlies?
A. The lcal farmers' advcates. B. The successful cmeback f grizzlies.
C. The vice f the bilgists. D. The ppsitin f cnservatin grups.
35. What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A. Fd shuld be prvided fr grizzlies.
B. Peple can live in harmny with grizzlies.
C. A special path shuld be built fr grizzlies.
D. Technlgy can be intrduced t prtect grizzlies.

Welcme, everyne. Fr the past mnth, I've been planning yur English language curse. S, I'm very eager t start yur class this afternn. （17）All week, we'll be fllwing a language prgram develped by sme f the wrld's best teachers. I've benefited frm learning this apprach directly frm these language instructrs, （18）and I've taught students in business, plitical, and academic grups fr decades. With yur dedicated attentin and practice, yu will greatly imprve yur language skills like the thusands f students wh have learned this curse.
Nw, the initial cncepts are abut gals, interests, and debates. While we first write dwn ur bjectives, （19）we'll fcus n what we want t gain frm this class and hw we'll achieve it. Next, we'll make interest-based lessn plans. Think abut hw easily yu learn abut yur favrite tpics. Fr me, this tpic is sprts, （20）but maybe fr yu, this favrite tpic is art, music, etc. Just imagine the hurs that pass by while yu're learning smething yu' re passinate abut. Nw, we'll try that in yur target freign language. And after fllwing a vide and reading plans based n these interests, yu'll debate these ideas in class. This will be a great class, everyne. I can't wait fr all the learning and prgress we'll have tgether.
