21、 The U.S.has more than 4,000 wild bee species,and many are in danger of dying out due to human activity,chemical overuse and climate change.In Colorado,the Girl Scout troops(童子军团)have take on the task of saving bees.They made tiny homes for wild bees called"bee hotels" to fight the big drop in the population of bees.
Bee hotels are like birdhouses for wild bees.Since wild bees don't make honey,they don't live in the containers for bees,but they always need a suitable habitat(栖息地）.Out in the wild, these bees often live holes of dead trees and broken branches.But natural habitats can be hard to come by in the developed areas,which are where bee hotels come in.Dennis vanEngelsdrop,a professor at the University of Maryland,says that bee hotels play an important role in keeping the wild bee population.When wild bees check out of their hotel rooms,they leave their kids behind. A wild bee produces her eggs and leaves food for them to eat.If built correctly,bee hotels can even attract new bee species.
The troops repurposed carboard boxes,paper pipes,etc.to create homes for bees in their local community.A hotel design can be as simple as paper pipes stuck into a box.After building their bee hotels,the girls went out to place them in green pockets of their community,such as community gardens."The most interesting thing I learned is when you think of bees,you just think of honeybees,but there are so many different types,"says Aimee,a Girl Scout.Working with bees can be a daunting task.Many children only know them from the pain of bites.But the Girl Scouts learned to overcome their fears."It was hard for me to go to look at the bees,"says another girl."I'm glad I' did.We need bees for food and flowers.”
Bees are a big deal in the world of plant reproduction.They move pollen(花粉）from one plant to another.While honeybees live communally,most bee species are wild and live on their own.Honeybees may be better known,but wild bees are important pollinators(授花粉者）too.
The bee hotel project also plays an important role in bringing up a new generation of responsible citizens."What you're seeing is that you need bees to survive;so who is better to be concerned about that than the young generation?"vanEngelsdrop says."These efforts are really good because hopefully the girls will show lifelong devotion to the preservation."
【1】What might be the purpose of bee hotels?
A.Te store the pollen wild bees have collected.
B.To attract more bees a to the developed area.
C.To make bees to live together as a community.
D.To offer wild bees a place to live and produce young.
【2】Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word"daunting"in the third paragraph?
A.Tiring B.Confusing C.Frightening D.Moving
【3】What is the main idea of the text?
A.Wild bees can enjoy a good life thanks to bee hotels
B.The Girl Scout save wild bees by building bee hotels.
C.The bee hotel project makes young girls responsible.
D.More and more bees are provided with natural habitats.
22、William Osler, a doctor, once said, “The person who takes medicine must recover twice: once from the disease and once from the medicine.” It tells us medicine may have some side-effects. Therefore, many people in the west are turning to other treatments to replace some medicine. Acupuncture(针刺) is one of these treatments.
What is acupuncture? It is based on the idea that energy flows through the human body along 12 lines or meridians(经络). These meridians end up at organs in the body, and illness is the result of blockage of the energy flow to these organs. To remove the blockage(堵塞), an acupuncturist inserts very fine needles into the body at points along the meridians. This stimulates the flow of energy, and restores the patient’s health.
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese treatment, which has been practiced for around 3,000 years. It is used to treat a wide range of diseases, such as headaches, dental pain, back pain, high blood pressure, stress, depression, and anxiety.
Since acupuncture is known to be effective against pain, it is not surprising that many people have experimented with it. Martina Hingis, a famous tennis player, had a wrist injury cured through acupuncture. NBA legend Kobe Bryant also used it on his leg. It has been used widely in the German football league, including the national team. The Queen of England is also interested in it.
If you do decide to visit an acupuncturist, it is important that you should check they are qualified and registered to practice, for some people are allergic to it while being treated, although this is very uncommon.

23、Frances McGlannan grew up in Baltimore, Maryland, and moved to Miami in the early 1950s with her husband. The couple had two children, Michael and Genevieve, and by the time Michael entered elementary school it was clear that he had difficulty reading.
She decided to tackle it and find out what it was herself because she wasn’t getting any answers to the questions she was asking. McGlannan searched the library for information and started working at the University of Miami Reading Clinic, where she tutored children and helped conduct research. She also founded the Dade Reading Foundation, a volunteer group that shared information about dyslexia (阅读障碍) with teachers, parents and the local school board.
In the early 1960s, McGlannan traveled to Europe, where she learned new techniques to help children overcome learning disabilities. She also adapted multi-sensory techniques to help dyslexic children learn to read. In 1964, MeGlannan founded the McGlannan School for children with dyslexia and related learning difficulties.

She was also ridiculed by educators and doctors who believed children with dyslexia couldn’t be taught. But McGlannan was not discouraged. In addition to running the school, she convinced a publisher to start a scientific journal devoted to the study of learning disabilities, where she served as one of the editors. She also helped pass the 1975 Education for All Handicapped Children Act, which established the rights of children with disabilities. And in the 1980s, McGlannan reached out to teachers and publications in Latin America to share information about dyslexia and teaching techniques in Spanish.
McGlannan’s tireless efforts affected thousands of children in South Florida. Her legacy (遗产) continues through her family and through her school.
