26、As rules, laws are people’s rights and responsibilities toward society. Laws are agreed on by society and made official by governments.
Some persons look on laws with fear, hatred, or annoyance. Laws seem to limit people’s freedom to do many things they would like to do. Though laws may prevent us from doing things we wish to do at the moment, laws make everyone’s life safer and more pleasant. Without laws we could not hold on to our property; we could not go to bed at night expecting to wake up in the morning and find that we had not been robbed; no stores in which we buy food, clothes, and other necessities could stay open and sell to us. Our banks would not be safe places to keep our money.
Social life would be impossible without laws to control the way people treat one another. It is not the laws that should be feared but the trouble that comes to everyone when laws are broken. Once this is understood, a citizen will not fear or hate the law. Understanding the need for good laws and the evil results of breaking laws is the first requirement of good citizenship and government.
Philosophers once believed that in prehistoric time people lived without laws in a “state of nature”. People were free to do as they pleased unless someone stronger stopped them by force. As a result, life became so dangerous and unsafe that leaders had to create laws to protect life and property.
This is no longer believed to be true. Scholars now think that as soon as people began living in small groups, they worked out rules for getting along with one another. In time everyone accepted and supported the rules. Manners, customs and beliefs controlled the living habits and behavior of the group. Such rules and habits of life are called folkways.
Folkways are probably the real meaning of human laws, as well as of religion, morals, and education. As life became more complex, folkways became more complete guides to living. After thousands of years, some of the important folkways were put into writing as the earlier laws. And as life grew more and more complicated with faster transportation and the rise of modern industry and big cities, more human acts and interests had to be ruled by law. This led to a great increase in the number of laws.
But we know that unless laws are enforced, they cannot protect us. Poorly enforced laws invite crime and violence. So we agree that the best protection against crime is planned social change and law reform -- to reduce the causes of crime and to encourage people to obey the laws. Such a solution would join a sound system of law enforcement with forces working to prevent crime. To attain this goal, all citizens must understand the need for good laws and for their enforcement.
【1】Some persons look on laws with fear, hatred, or annoyance, because_____.
A. they can’t do whatever they want to
B. they feel it unnecessary to have laws
C. laws only protect those who worked out them
D. laws and rules are too complicated to understand
【2】Which of the following statement is NOT TRUE?
A.Without laws we may fail to hold on to our property
B. In prehistoric time people lived happily without laws in a “state of nature”.
C. Human laws, as well as of religion, morals, and education, are believed to originate from Folkways.
D. Good citizens and government should be aware of the need for good laws and the evil results of breaking laws
【3】A sound system of law enforcement is necessary because_____.
A. some citizens fear or hate the law.
B. poorly enforced laws cause crime and violence.
C. we need someone stronger to stop crime by force.
D. the evil results of breaking laws are getting fewer and fewer .
【4】 What’s the best title of this passage?
A. The Origin of Laws B. Enforcement of Laws
C. Leaders and Laws D. Laws and rules.

28、Frequently Asked Questions for Yellowstone National Park
How much is the entrance fee?
$85-Private, non-commercial vehicle; $30-Motorcycle or snowmobile (winter); $20-Visitors 16 and older entering by foot, bike, ski, etc. *This fee provides the visitor with a 7-day entrance permit for both Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. |
Where should we stay?
Your decision may depend on how much time you have and what you want to see the most. If you plan on visiting Yellowstone National Park for only a few days and want to experience some of the main attractions then West Yellowstone would be a good base. If you want to have the full park experience then perhaps lodging (住宿) at Old Faithful would be a good choice. If you want to view the most wildlife, then we suggest the Northeast Entrance. |
When is the best time to visit the park?
This depends on what your interests are. Spring has abundant wildlife, roaring waterfalls and wild weather. Summer has it all including the most crowds, so you’d better get out early and eat your breakfast on the road! Fall is a special time of year. Everything seems to be declining including the crowds. Winter is a time of being a bit of social isolation. In years past it was more “economical” to visit most of the park. Now it is more restricted unless you can afford a snow-coach or guided snowmobile tour. |
Can I get Cell and Wi-Fi?
Free public Wi-Fi is available at Al-bright Visitor Center and at some park lodges for registered guests. Cell service is extremely limited, with reception only available in or near major developed areas. In summer, service often reaches its limit in these areas. Yet, it is sad to see the latest generation fade away from normal everyday activities and conversation. Get out, look around, admire the wonders. There’re plenty of natural and human distractions around every corner. The last thing we want to do is distract visitors from Yellowstone’s wonders especially while driving. |

29、This is the incredible moment: a crafty penguin escaped a group of hungry killer whales by LEAPING into a Zodiac boat (橡皮艇) full of tourists—to joyful applause.
The witty creature was caught on camera repeatedly jumping out of the water in a dramatic chase that circled the tour boat before it managed to flung itself aboard and stood proudly surrounded by the beaming holidaymakers.
Travel blogger Matt Karsten and his wife Anna were taking a tour through icebergs in the Gerlache Strait, Antarctica, when a large group of orcas (虎鲸) swam up to their Zodiac boat.
The apex predators (顶级掠食者) spotted a Gentoo penguin swimming nearby and, sensing a quick snack, gave chase after the lonely bird, darting between the tourist boats as their would-be-victim tried to give them the slip.
Heart-stopping footage shows the penguin repeatedly jumping out of the icy water with the killer whales in close pursuit as the hunt does loops around the boats.
Suddenly the penguin makes a bid to get into one of the boats but lands just short and instead bounces off the side of the vessel and back into the sea.
Mere seconds later, the penguin successfully makes it over the rim of the boat and is helped aboard by the tourists—to cheers from the crowd.
Matt, 40, said: “It was crazy to see in person. It was like watching a National Geographic episode on location. I imagine the penguin was very relieved to get away.”
“The orcas did follow the Zodiac boat for a while. They did give up in the end leaving the penguin safe with his new friends.”
“After cruising for a little bit, the penguin said goodbye to the boat and hopped back into the icy water.”
