Boston is an excellent place for a family vacation. There are many different fun and

educational activities that are sure to interest visitors of all ages.

Located on the waterfront on the north end of the city, the New England Aquarium draws

visitors from around the northeast. This aquarium gives visitors the unique opportunity to pet

sharks. The aquarium is home to many kinds of sea life, including dolphins, penguins and seals.

With ticket prices at $24.95 for adults and $17.95 for children over the age of three, a visit to the

aquarium is an affordable addition to any Boston family vacation.

Marigi worked deep in a forest in Nigeria

a country on the western coast of Africa. He is a

logger who cuts down trees using a knife. The forest where he worked is in the Ondo State in

Southwest Nigeria. But many trees in that forest have been lost to too much logging.

The 61-year-old father of two said that he could cut down over 15 trees anywhere in the

forest,but he would be lucky to find only two now.“During the time of my father, we had big

trees but sadly what we have now are just small trees and we don’t even allow them to grow tall

enough before we cut them,” Marigi said.

After cutting down the trees, Marigi puts markers on them to let other loggers know that he is

the owner. The cut-down trees, or logs, are then transported( 运输 )by waterways and rivers to

Nigeria’s biggest city, Lagos.

Trees in Nigeria are cut down to open land for farming or to feed the energy need of a

growing population. From 2001 to 2021, Nigeria has lost 1. 14 million hectares of tree cover.

Months after cutting down the trees, Marigi returned to the forest to tie his 40 logs together

so they could be transported. With other loggers, he paid for a boat to pull the logs through

waterways from Ondo State to Lagos.

They built simple houses on top of the logs to help protect themselves from the weather.

Food was shared and they sang traditional songs to cheer themselves up. They did not sleep at

night to make sure that the logs would not get away from the boat. The boat stopped at several

places to pickup more loggers and their logs. A single boat can transport thousands of such logs.

Marigi’s trip ended in Lagos where logs from Ondo State and other parts of the country came

together. The logs were then cut and sold to users.

4. What can we learn about his father according to Marigi?

A. He took good care of the forest. B. He could cut down trees for free.

C. He left small trees to later generations. D. He had plenty of big trees to cut.

5. How does Marigi show the ownership of the trees he cut down?

A. By moving them to his house. B. By making signs on them.

C. By putting them near waterways. D. By living on top of them.

6. Why did Marigi go back into the forest?

A. To collect his woods. B. To plant small trees.

C. To look for big trees. D. To open land for farming.

7. Why didn’t Marigi and his partners sleep at night?

A. Their houses were too small to sleep in.

B. They were busy with the woods for sale.

C. They protected the woods from being lost.

D. They needed to work together continuously.

Home to large numbers of elephants, India has some of the strictest elephant protection laws

in Asia. Elephants have been granted (给予) the highest level of legal protection for wildlife. Strict

bans exist on poaching (偷猎), and trading them, with heavy fines and prison sentences of up to

seven years.

China had been making efforts to protect its small population of elephants since the 1980s.

Local authorities in areas with elephants such as Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture in

Yunnan Province, have not only made efforts to move human populations away from elephant

habitats but have also worked with private insurance companies to insure farmers’ crops against

damage caused by the animals. According to one report, the population of elephants in China

nearly doubled between the 1980s and 2021 to about 300.

While both India and China have made efforts to protect the elephant and some success had

been achieved, danger still appears as conservation laws are often either flouted (轻视) or not

implemented. Strengthening domestic (国内的) laws is not enough. The animals now face the

much more dangerous threat of climate change which calls for united action by these two leading

economies.

There are many opportunities for cooperation between New Delhi and Beijing on elephant

protection. These could potentially include: formation of a cooperative institute for research on

elephant conservation; joint efforts on reforestation to ensure the expansion of buffer zones (缓冲

区) between animal populations and human settlements; the training of local populations that live

near elephant habitats and have traditional knowledge of harmonious living with elephants;

formation of a joint resource fund for building care facilities and to achieve set targets to increase

the population of elephants through careful breeding.

By doing so, India and China would promote economic growth through an ecological path

and responsible ecotourism in not just the two nations but in Asia at large. Such joint efforts would

also lead to better relations between the two countries.

8. What is a measure taken by China to protect elephants according to paragraph 2?

A. Applying strict elephant protection laws.
