　　Scientists have learned that spotted owls start to vanish when barred owls come.Some barred and spotted owls have mated and produced hybrid babies.One spotted owl was killed by a barred owl.

　　Professor Ned K.Brown of the University of California-Berkeley says, "In some areas of Washington, the barred owls moved into very dense, deep woods.The same kind of woods that arc opened up, or destroyed by logging, that adversely influences the spotted owls."

　　Ten years have passed since the federal government began protecting the spotted owl.Loggers were forced to limit logging on seven million acres of government land.No one is sure how the arrival of the barred owls will impact laws that protect spotted laws.The barred owls like to live in the deep forests where loggers like to cut down trees.The barred owls will likely keep migrating to the Northwest.

　　[单选题]Of all Barry H.Landau's anecdotes about his friendships with presidential dogs, perhaps the best is the one about the time the Clinton White House called to postpone his play-date with Buddy.

　　Yes, Landau is both human and an adult, a 60-year-old author, presidential historian, former White House protocol officer and memorabilia collector.But so enamored is he of dogs, and so well connected to a succession of presidents, that he had an appointment for a South Lawn romp one day with Buddy, Bill Clinton's Labrador retriever (拉布拉多犬) .

　　Logistics got in the way, though, and hence Clinton secretary Betty Currie's apologetic voice mail left at the Smithsonian Institution, where Landau was doing research: "I'm sorry, but we'll have to reschedule Mr.Landau's play-date with Buddy."

　　Not surprisingly, this is a happy week for Landau, with the new Obama family dog, Bo, joining a White House tradition that dates to George Washington.It's one that Landau feels is invaluable to a presidency.

　　"Having a dog just humanizes a president," he says."It completes the picture.It's something people can relate to."

　　And Landau has related to the best of them.He's known about 25 White House dogs since the Eisenhower administration.Among the presidential-pooch memorabilia in his Manhattan apartment are matching orange inaugural dog coats worn by LBJ's twin beagles (小猎犬) , Him and Her, and a photo of Landau kissing Clipper, JFK's German shepherd.

　　According to Landau, why is it important for a president to have a dog?

　　AIt increases his chances of being reelecte

　　BIt humanizes the president, making him easier to relate t

　　CIt shows that the president can care for an anima

　　DIt is the tradition of White House as a presiden

　　This was no ordinary class. The students who came together were all science or engineering professors at Cornell University. They had interrupted their research to accept an invitation to take part in an unusual experiment :"an interesting week of poetry. "This class was part of a study to answer the questions:Why is science difficult for many non science students?What can teachers learn about teaching if they take a class that is not in their field?

　　The students in the poetry class listened to lectures and took notes. They had reading tasks and had to write three short papers. All students noticed one thing--the importance of spoken words. In science and engineering classes, the instructors put tables and drawings on the blackboard.But in this poetry class, the instructors just talked. They didn´t write anything on the board.

　　The scientists and engineers noticed one similarity between science and poetry. In both subjects,students need to find layers(层次 of meaning. Some layers are simple, clear, and on the surface;other layers are deeper and more difficult. This search for different levels of meaning doesn´t happen much in undergraduate(本科)science classes, but it is important later, in graduate school.And it is always important in humanities(人文科学).

　　Both the poetry instructors and their students learned something about teaching from this experience. One poetry instructor, for example, now sees the importance of using careful, clear definitions (定义) when he explains a poem. He also plans to be more informative as he teaches. Most of the scientists agreed on several points. First ,humanities classes might help science students to see patterns and decide which information is important. Second, the poetry class was fun. One engineer decided, "We need to change the way we teach engineering to make it an enjoyable experience for students. "

　　But perhaps the most important result of the experience was this:All of the professors began to think about how they teach and how they can teach better.

　　The experiment was designed to find out __

　　Ahow to teach the students in the science class

　　Bwhether poetry is difficult for science students

　　Cwhat to be taught in the humanities class

　　Dwhy many humanities students find science hard

　　[单选题]Like every language, American English is full of special expressions, phrases that come from the day-to-day life of the people and develop in their own way.Our expression today is“to face the music”.

　　When someone says, “well, I guess I'll have to face the music,” it does not mean he's planning to go to the concert.It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you didn't do this or that.Sour music indeed, but it has to be faced At sometime or another, every one of us has had to face the music, especially as children.We can all remember father's angry voice,“I want to talk to you.”and only because we did not obey him.What an unpleasant business it was!

　　The phrase “to face the music” is familiar to every American, young and old,It is at least 100 years old

　　And where did this expression come from? The first explanation comes from the American novelist, James Fenimore Looper.He said, in 1851, that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go on the stage.When they got their cue to go on, they often said, “Well, it's time to face the music.” And that was exactly what they did — facing the orchestra which was just below them.And an actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of an audience that might be friendly or perhaps hostile, especially if he forgot his lines.But he had to go out.If he did not, there would be no play.So the expression“to face the music”come to mean“having to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice.”

　　Other explanations about the expression go back to the army.When the men faced an inspection by their leader, the soldiers would be worried about how well they looked

　　Was their equipment clean, shinny enough to pass the inspection? Still the men had to go out and face the music of the band as well as the inspection.What else could they do?

　　Another army explanation is more closely related to the idea of facing the results and accepting the responsibility for something that should not have been done.As, for example when a man is forced out of the army because he did something terrible, he is dishonored

　　The band does not play.Only the drums tap a sad, slow beat.The soldier is forced to leave, facing such music as it is and facing the back of his horse.

　　What's the meaning of “to face the music?”

　　ATo face something far less pleasant

　　BTo face the stage

　　CTo face the back of one's hor

　　DTo face one's leader

　　参考答案：A

　　Last week Mr.Hill had quite a surprise.He drove home from the bank at the usual time, driving neither too slowly nor too fast; he parked his car where he always parked it, out of the way of other cars, and he went inside to make his evening meal.Just then, there was a knock at the door.He opened the door, to find a policeman standing on the door-step.

　　"What have I done wrong?" Mr.Hill asked himself."Have I driven on the wrong side of the road? Has there been some trouble at the bank? Have I forgotten to pay an important bill?"

　　"Hello, Uncle," said the policeman, "My name is Jack."

　　Last week Mr.Hil_____.l

　　Awas pleasant
