When Roy Austin went on his first wildlife trip back in 2018,his only goal for the leisurely
vacation was to catch sight of some African wildlife in its natural habitat—but he ended up finding
something much more meaningful.He was most captivated( 迷 住 )by the people he met in rural
Kenya—particularly at the Amboseli Primary and Secondary School in Amboseli National Park.
In addition to befriending many of the students and teachers,Austin was surprised to learn
how difficult it was to get books and school supplies for the children.“In rural Kenya,the
government does not build school buildings.You either build it yourself or raise money to have it
built,” says Austin.“A teacher was asked if they had a library.She replied,‘No,but we would love
to have a library.’ That stuck in my mind.”
When Austin eventually returned to his home in Bluffton,South Carolina,he launched
Libraries for Kids International.Since starting the charity,Austin has managed to ship more than
1,000 books to 11 schools across Kenya and Tanzania.He sends the books through the post office
rather than FedEx to keep the shipping costs down.
As it continues to collect books and donations for additional shipments,Austin says that the
charity is now helping to move a shipping container of 22,000 books from Atlanta to Kenya.In the
future,the philanthropist(慈善家)hopes to start sending donations to South America as well.
“Many people told me that it can’t be done.It’s too expensive to ship books,and they will
disappear going through customs,” Austin says.“However,every worthwhile project will have
problems and barriers.If you focus on the problems,you will never start.On the contrary,if you
focus on the aim and solve the problems as they arise,most anything is possible.”
24.What problem does Austin find in rural Kenya?
A.Education depends on charity.
B.Students lack education resources.
C.Books get lost going through customs.
D.Families can’t afford the kids’ schooling.
25.What does Austin do for the people in rural Kenya?
A.He teaches at school. B.He funds a library for them.
C.He reduces the shipping costs. D.He ships books to schools.
26.What can we learn from Austin’s story?
A.It is the first step that costs.
B.Success belongs to the persevering.
C.Every bit of effort makes a big difference.
D.Nothing is difficult to a determined mind.
27.Which of the following best describes Austin?
A.A crazy adventurer.B.A devoted educator.
C.A charity enthusiast. D.A passionate volunteer.

The Global Heritage Fund,a nonprofit organization,aims to protect places of cultural
importance in developing countries for the reasons that these countries often have few resources to
protect such places and that other major cultural organizations often pay more attention to
protecting places in developed countries.For example,UNESCO has 45 World Heritage places in
Italy,42 in Spain,but Peru,famous for its ancient Incan buildings,has only 9 World Heritage
places.Guatemala has only 3.
The fund recently released a list of cultural treasures in the developing world that are in
danger of disappearing.These places are important because they are records of our human
civilization.Globalization has created an international culture that is about sameness.But the
endangered places are trying to protect the rich differences of human culture throughout history.
One of the fund’s current projects is in Guatemala’s ( 危地马拉) Mirador Basin,which
contains several important examples of ancient Mayan settlements.The buildings are surrounded
by forests.
Centuries of tree growth has covered the pyramids and religious buildings,which provides
some of the finest examples of the early part of the Mayan civilization (玛雅文明).But this area is
in danger from robbers and people cutting trees illegally.Also,over the past ten years,over 70% of
the natural environment in the area has been destroyed by fires.
The fund has 3 goals for its Mirador project.One is helping the government obtain UNESCO
recognition.Another is establishing permanent protection for the area.And the third is working to
make the area a sustainable protected area within 10 years.
To meet these goals,money from the fund will go toward restoring the buildings of El
Mirador and mapping and exploring newly discovered buildings.The fund is also paying to train
local guides on how to stop theft and illegal tree-cutting.Educational programs are helping to give
people in the area the skills they need to have jobs that do not endanger this protected area.
The Global Heritage Fund says we have a duty to the people of the past,present and future to
make sure we do not lose these examples of human history.Every country,organization and
individual can play a role in helping to protect this rich history.
28.Why does the Global Heritage Fund focus on protecting cultural places in developing
countries?
A.They are poor and often ignored. B.They are more important to mankind.
C.They are attractive to tourists. D.They are fascinating and dangerous.
29.Why is protecting the endangered places important in the time of globalization?
A.Because we should create an international culture about sameness.
B.Because the developing world needs them to make money.
C.Because they can help speed up the process of globalization.
D.Because the rich differences of human culture should be preserved.
30.What does the Mirador project mainly want to achieve?
A.Sustainable protection. B.National recognition.
C.Financial cooperation. D.Employment promotion.
31.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.World Heritage in Danger B.The Global Heritage Fund
C.Every Project Matters D.Every Individual Matters

In a weightless,microgravity environment like space,how can someone with sight or mobility
problems navigate on the space station?As scientists continue to push the boundaries of
spaceflight and the possibility of human life on other planets,how can we build space
infrastructure (基础设施) friendly to all humans?
The Mission AstroAccess project aims to answer these questions,starting with a historic
parabolic (抛物线的) flight that took off from Long Bench on Oct.17,2021.A group of 12 disabled
scientists,students,athletes and artists launched into a zero-gravity environment as a first step.To
get a better idea of what is needed for more inclusive (包容的) space travel,AstroAccess plans to
conduct a series of follow-on parabolic flights after the first launch.On these flights,a plane flies
up to an altitude of around 32,000 feet and then begins a descent at about 4 miles per second.This
