Sprts can help yu keep fit and get in tuch with nature. Hwever, whether yu are n the muntains, in the waves, r n the grassland, yu shuld be aware that yur sprt f chice might have great influence n the envirnment.
Sme sprts are resurce-hungry. Glf, as yu may knw, eats up nt nly large areas f cuntryside, but als tns f water.

Cities have been described as essential t climate change slutins, but they can als raise the kinds f eclgists that will bring us int a mre cmprehensive bilgical future.
As a black wildlife bilgist frm Philadelphia, I std ut amng my cwrkers. My presence in eclgy has challenged assumptins abut nt nly what a bilgist lks like , but als where a bilgist cmes frm. In the U.S., eclgy was and is mainly white and cnducted in rural landscapes, but I had n histry f camping, fishing, hunting r hiking. I had yet t recgnize that Philadelphia, with its fur seasns and richness f squirrels (松鼠), rw hmes and festivals, was actually my first eclgical classrm. There I witnessed wild cats eating birds and rats, peple shting bats frm their hmes and snakes being killed by lawn mwers (割草机). This is much eclgy in actin as anything we witness in fields and frests.
Urban wild animals exhibit many features and behavirs that set them apart frm their rural twins: they may be bigger, eat mre diverse fd surces are active at different times f the day, mve differently and have different persnalities. Sme bilgists argue they are even “smarter”. Besides, urban wildlife balances mre risks-such as rad chemical pisns and diseases frm dmestic animals - with rewards. Sme f thse rewards cme frm humans prviding fd and sme frm the distributin f ur parks and water bdies.
In ur prfessinal lives as bilgists, living with such wild animals can make us mre tlerant f species diversity, which can benefit the natural wrld. Nature is n lnger nly primitive wilderness but includes sunds f human laughter and garbage trucks. We expect mre bilgists frm urban settings because urban envirnments naturally train keen bservers wh are the future f eclgy.
32. Which makes the authr stand ut amng his cwrkers?
A. His natinality. B. His city backgrund.
C. His interest in utdr activities.D. His lve fr animals.
33. What des the underlined “they” in paragraph 3 refer t ?
A Urban wild animals.B. Rural animals.C. Dmestic animals.D. Wildlife bilgists.
34. What d we knw abut urban wild animals?
A. They have truble in getting fd. B. They enjy safer living cnditins.
C. They d better in fighting diseases. D. They are mre adaptable t envirnment.
35. Which f the fllwing is a suitable title fr the text?
A. Urban Wild Animals Survive.B. Benefits f City Cnservatin.
C. Cities Build Better Bilgists. D. A Black Bilgist frm Philadelphia.
