During their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece, but it is interesting to look at how the world that each of these great philosophers

2、came from shaped their ideas, and how these ideas in turn, shaped their societies. Neither philosopher lived in times of peaces though there were more wars in Greece than in China. The Chinese states were very large and feudal, while the Greek city-states were small and urban. The urban environment

3、in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical(激进的) than Confucius. Unlike Confucius, Socrates was not asked by rulers how to govern effectively. Thus, Socrates was able to be more idealistic, focusing on issues like freedom, and knowledge for its own sake. Confucius, on the other hand, advi

4、sed those in government service, and many of his students went on to government service. Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life. Do not do to others what you would not want others to do to you.” He assumed that all men were equal at birth,though some had more pote

5、ntial(潜能) than others, and that it was knowledge that set men apart.Socrates focused on the individual, and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom.He believed that some individuals had more potential to develop their reason than others did. Like Confucius, he believed that the s

6、uperior class should rule the inferior(下层的) classes. For Socrates, the family was of no importance, and the community of little concern. For Confucius, however,the family was the centre of society, with family relations considered much more important than political relations. Both men are respected

10、ob Thieler to study shorelines around the world. Thirty years later and now a U.S. Geological Survey research geologist, Thieler, is combining science and smartphone technology to help study an endangered bird, the Atlantic. Coast piping plover. The piping plover is a shorebird that breeds(繁殖)along

11、the Atlantic Coast, the Great Lakesand the Great Plains. Rising sea levels associated with climate change, as well as increased development in their beach habitats(栖息地), threaten the species(物种). To help track changes in piping plover habitats, Thieler developed a free app called iPlover in 2012. Th

12、is is a marked change from the typical way scientists collect data, which involves gathering information using specialized equipment or writing in notebooks and then putting into spreadsheets. Since releasing iPlover, scientists have gathered data across 1500 km of breeding range. Thatequals about a

13、 third of the distance across the U.S., which is a large area to cover for only two thousand breeding pairs of piping plovers on the east coast. Instead of having to travel and spend days at each site, a number of cooperators in the field use the app to collect and send data, allowing scientists to

14、gather data more efficiently. It also allows them to collect data at the same time during each breeding season, providing a better picture of changes that happen over longer periods of time. And fast, centralized access means scientists can look at data quickly to get a real-time idea of where and h

15、ow piping plovers are using their habitats. While iPlover is used by trained field staff, other apps like the U. S. Geological Surveys web-based “iCoastDid the Coast Change?” invite citizen scientists to identify coastal changes by comparing birds-eye-view photographs taken before and after storms.

24、t.B.Holker Garden Festival.C.National Garden Day.D.Winter Market.4、How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments -mostly for entertainment purposes - is fair and respectful? Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain “collectio

25、ns” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats.Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes. Zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species, but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the

26、animals natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species name, diet, and natural range.The animals normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos dont usually take care of the animals natural needs. The animals are kept to

27、gether in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusually and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that e

28、lephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered.Captive breeding(圈养繁殖) of endangered big cats, Asian elepha

29、nts, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild.Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Havent we seen enough competitions to n

30、ame baby animals?Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals natural habitats.1.How would the author describe the animals life in zoos?A.Dang
