10、 wheel and how to change gears (换挡).The dogs ride only accelerated up to 7.5 miles an hour, and trainers could stop the auto using a remote control.GOLDEN ZEBRAKailua-Kona, HawaiiZoe the zebras markings are special. The animal has white and golden stripes. Zoes appearance resulted from a rare condit
11、ion called amelanosis (黑素缺失症).

In the wild, life may be difficult for a
12、nimals with amelanosis because predators (捕食性动物)can easily spot them.

13、led his talent when a stone he was playing with rolled out of his cage. The cockatoo couldnt reach the stone.

16、. Tips on training animals.BWhenever something looks interesting or beautiful, there is a natural desire of us to capture and preserve it which means, in this day and age, that we are likely to reach for our phones to take a picture.Though this would seem to be a perfect solution, there are two big
17、problems associated with taking pictures. Firstly, we are likely to be so busy taking pictures that we forget to look at the world whose beauty and interest encourage us to take a photograph in the first place. And secondly, because we feel the pictures are safely stored on our phones, we never get
18、around to looking at them, so sure are we that well get around to them one day.The first person to notice the problems was the English art critic, John Ruskin. He was a keen traveler who realized that most tourists make a poor job of noticing or remembering the beautiful things they see. He argued t
19、hat humans have a natural tendency to respond to beauty and desire to have it, but there are better and worse expressions of this desire. At worst, we get into buying souvenirs or taking photographs. But, in Ruskins eyes, theres just one thing we should do attempting to draw the interesting things w
20、e see, regardless of whether we happen to have any talent for doing so.Ruskin said, “Drawing can teach us to see: to notice properly rather than stare absent-mindedly. In the process of recreating with our own hands what lies before our eyes, we naturally move from a position of observing beauty in
21、a loose way to one where we acquire a deep understanding of its parts.”Ruskin deplored the blindness and hurry of modern tourists, especially those who prided themselves on traveling around the whole Europe in a week by train, “No changing of places at a hundred miles an hour will make us stronger,
22、happier, or wiser. There was always more in the world than men could see, if they ever walked slowly; they will see it no better for going fast. The really precious things are thoughts and sights, not pace.”24. According to Paragraph 2, when taking pictures, people tend to _.A. forget to appreciate
23、something attractive on the spotB. find it hard to learn skills of taking good picturesC. find a good way to keep things in their mindsD. have a chance to meet the challenge of new technology25.

25、bitious27.

Many single people say that Frances capital
26、 is one of the most difficult places to meet people. The complaints(抱怨)of this lonely group have inspired a new phenomenon known as “supermarket dating”. At Galerie Lafayette Gourmet, singles can shop for more than just the items on their grocery list. They can look for someone who has blue eyes, br
27、own hair, and is 1. 8 meters tall, or whatever may be on their romantic shopping list.At this Paris location, single people of all ages can schedule their shopping for Thursday nights between 6:30 and 9:00 p.m. When they walk through the door, they pick up a purple basket to suggest that they are lo
28、oking for love. They try to arrive early because the baskets disappear quickly, and then they have to wait in line for their turn to wander the store aisles (过道).With purple baskets in hand, shoppers can consider their romantic choices while they pick out their groceries. When they are ready to pay,
29、 they can go to the checkout line for singles who want to chat.Most of the people who look for love in the supermarket are skeptical of Internet dating. They know that it is easy to beautify ones appearance or to lie about ones age over the Internet. The supermarket, on the other hand, is considered
30、 a safe and casual environment in which to meet a potential match. In addition, what one finds in anothers grocery basket can say a thing or two about that persons character or intentions.
