So what is rewilding?
Imagine our natural homes growing instead of shrinking. Imagine species (物种)diversifying instead of declining. That's rewilding. Rewilding is ecological restoration. Rewilding offers hope for wildlife, humans and the planet.
Why is rewilding important and necessary?
●Our natural ecology is broken. The places where you would expect wildlife to exist have been reduced to wet deserts. The seabed has been destroyed and there have been no livingcreatures any more.
●Our wildlife is disappearing. Many wonderful species have declined over the past century. We've lost more of our large animals than any European country.
●We need keystone species. These vital species, including top predators (食肉动物), drive ecological processes. Their loss has worsened our living systems.
●Nature looks after us. Good natural ecology can provide us with clean air and water, prevent flooding and store carbon. Rewilding can leave the world in a better state than it is today.
What are challenges?
As a long-term project, our “rewilding britain” has its challenges. Many people are notinterested, because we have got used to the lack of native forests. Many farmers oppose the idea. They thought it a crazy idea to bring back predators because they would start killing farmanimals. It takes time to educate them. Above all, we need money! So we need your help!
Make a donation.
Help us bring back living systems and restore wild nature!
With your help we can. . .
●Open up new chances for rewilding and push for change.
●Develop tools to educate, influence and spread the word.
Thanks for your support.

28、Jose Adolfo is a banker from Peru. He encourages children to save money and offers his customers cash for recycling plastic wastes. But the remarkable thing is that he is still a child himself.
By the age of 7, he decided to create a bank for children. He was motivated by seeing his classmates skipping lunch because they had spent the little money they had on sweets or football cards. What drove him even more was the poverty he saw among children.
With the support of a local company, the 14-year-old founded the Bartselana student bank which now has more than 2,000 customers between the ages of 10 and 18. Children can withdraw (提取) money from several cashpoints of the bank. They can also monitor their balances online. What makes it different from traditional banks is that it sets savings goals for children. They have to reach those goals in order to withdraw their money.
The student bank really took off when he came up with the “Recycle Plan”, a new way for the children to earn money by collecting recyclable plastic or paper waste. Students can bring recyclable plastic bottles, used school books and old newspapers to the schools and put them into the collecting boxes. The recycling is weighed and the money goes to their bank accounts.
The bank recycles 4.4 tons of material a month and has collecting boxes in seven schools in Arequipa. More are on a waiting list. Increasingly the model is in demand in the rest of Peru and abroad.
His efforts have been noticed by Peru’s environment ministry. “He’s making an amazing change in financial (理财的) education that perhaps many adults could not come up with,” said the Peru’s environment minister, Lucia Ruiz. “He’s achieving a double goal because he’s not just designing a financial opportunity for children and teenagers but also helping to reduce waste in the country.”

【2】What is special about the student bank ?

【3】According to paragraph 4, students can earn money by _______ .
A．using less plastic bottles

C．collecting plastic wastes
D．cleaning collecting boxes
【4】What can we know about the “Recycle Plan” ?
A．It’s typical.
B．It’s successful.
C．It’s risky.
D．It’s well-organized .
【5】According to Lucia Ruiz, why is Jose’s job meaningful?

29、 I am Ewald. I' m not someone who has many secrets, because I' m a terrible liar. But there is one huge secret that I kept for years-I failed my driving test. I had never failed a test before, and had never even come close. Driving made me anxious, but my parents told me I had to. They signed me up for driving lessons. I had gotten a perfect score for my written permit exam, but getting behind the wheel was a different story.
But when October 30th rolled around, my pride set in. I wanted to be like everyone else at my school, showing off the brand new license they'd gotten. Looking back on that special day, I can't remember if I was nervous. What I do remember is starting the test, pausing at a stop sign after a few seconds, and being asked by the instructor to pull over. I had received an auto-fail since my pause was indeed a pause and not a real stop. I wasn't upset that I was leaving without a license, but I was scared everyone would know that I had failed. So when I got to class, I told everyone I didn't want to take the test on my birthday.
One Friday a month later, I went to the test spot again and passed. Later that night I drove for the first time by myself, which brought to me an amazing feeling I've never experienced-but sill, I couldn't imagine ever telling anyone the truth. So I didn't. It wasn't until midway through college that I came clean. It turned out plenty of my college friends had failed too! And I gathered enough courage to speak the fact out. Yes, I had also failed.
Now I realize failure and imperfection are two things everyone has to experience, without which one couldn't make a true man.

B.To check his parking skills.
C.To put an end to his test.
D.To show him a better way of driving.
【3】What made Ewald feel extremely worried after his first attempt?
A.Losing face before his classmates.
B.Missing his birthday celebration.
C.Making his parents disappointed.
D.Failing to get a driving license.
【4】What did Ewald learn from his own experience?
A.Honesty is the best policy.
B.Truth stands the test of time.
C.Failure is a way to grow up.
D.Imperfection is another form of perfection.
30、 Early in my career, I was always struck by the fact that “expensive” hotels charged extra for things like internet access and movies. At the same time, more ______ hotels included everything. Although these less expensive hotels did not have _______ lobbies (大堂), they did offer the things that a young and tired _______ would want: a clean room and a quiet environment.
For the high prices you pay at nice hotels, everything should be ______. They should give refunds (退款) for the things you don’t _______ instead of cheating their customers.
I once read an article about a judge who was invited to a very expensive restaurant in Washington. The restaurant’s food and service were both _______. But there was something that ruined the ________: the judge was charged $1 for the ice in his $7 mixed drink. The fact that he was charged the extra dollar separately – instead of just being charged $8 – made him so ________ that instead of talking about how wonderful everything was at the _______, he only talked about the $1. Needless to say, he ______ went back to that restaurant.
I see the ______ thing is starting to happen in the airline industry. For example, American Airlines is charging $3.50 for snacks and $7 for meals. ______ , sodas and water are still free. The airline should just charge a _______ fare and give you a refund for what you don’t want or use. This will put more power in the hands of the _______ – the airline might be surprised to find that people are _________ to pay for extra services. Just imagine what could happen if you just trust your customers to make their own _____?
So remember, don’t _______ your customers. ______ , charge what you think your service or product is worth and take it from there.
