10、 of their natural surroundings, many Australians are turning caring for the environment into a way of life. Julie Astonis, an Australian housewife in Brisbane is one such example. Even though autumn is approaching Australias Brisbane in April, one can still watch colorful blooming (盛开的) flowers in J
11、ulies little garden, as she tells that in her community, “Each of us has a beautiful yard. The whole community, from children to elderly people, takes care of the environment as if they are taking care of their own garden.” “Gardening is the most popular club in our community,” she says. “A lot of r
12、etired people dont just regularly organize gardening lectures, but also personally visit families in the community to provide gardening training. So you can see that flowers continue to blossom in our gardens throughout the year.” Talking about her peoples sense of caring for the environment, Julie
13、says when people in the community take along their dog, they always carry a garbage bag to deal with the dogs waste.“In our community, you will never experience the embarrassment of stepping on the dirty waste while you are walking on the grass,” says Julie with a smile. “Taking care of the dogs was
14、te can also help to develop childrens sense of responsibility!” As to protecting water resources, the Australian government has made strict rules for families. Julie says, “We certainly would not use tap water to water the flowers!” She says almost every family in her community has a huge tank used
15、to store rainwater, which is later used as the resource of all outdoor water use, including car washing and watering the garden.

19、nBMusic died here last spring, or rather, it was killed by members of the school committee who ignored the importance of music and drama as part of the high-school curriculum (课程).The committee decided that teaching students how to take a standardized test is more important than a curriculum in whic
20、h students can explore their interests in the arts as well as academics. Because the school system is running out of funding, it needs to make sure that students pass the test or even more money will be lost. If students fail the state standardized test，it is not the fault of drama and music classes
21、they are failing because the “academic” classes are not sufficient (充足的).It is painful to think of how many students will be discouraged from singing, acting, and playing instruments because school programs are no longer offered. Many families cannot afford private music lessons, and many potential
22、musicians and artists may not find their calling if they are not exposed to it in school. The fact that the school committee thinks the arts are not worth the investment will certainly make some students believe the arts are not worth their time or support and the cycle will continue.Teaching for a
23、test does not shape students into complete, well-rounded people. It blocks the natural sense to create and express feelings through artthere is more to life than the analytical thinking that math and English provide. What happens after a test? Sure, a student might graduate, but they will have limit

37、rom China.DMosquitoes(蚊子) ruin countless American picnics every year, but around the world, this bloodsucking beast isnt just annoying it causes a health problem. More than a million people die from the spread of mosquito-borne diseases like malaria and yellow fever each year. Attempts to control po
38、pulations via insecticides like DDT have had ruinous side effects for nature and human health. Neurobiologist Leslie B. Vosshall has a different solution for stopping the insects and the spread of disease. “I believe the key to controlling mosquito behavior is to understand better how they sense us,
39、” she says. At their Rockefeller University lab, Vosshall and her colleagues are studying the chemical sensory processes by which mosquitoes choose hosts. How do they sense heat, humidity, carbon dioxide, and body odor(气味)? What makes some people more attractive to a mosquito than others? It takes b
40、lood and sweat to find out. To study how mosquitoes assess body odor, Vosshall and her teammates might wear stockings on their arms and keep from showering for 24 hours to create sample smells. Then comes the hard part. They insert their arms into the insects hidden home to study how mosquitoes land
41、, bite, and feed and then they document how this changes. This can mean getting anywhere from one bite to 400, depending on the experiment. Studying male mosquitoes is more pleasant. Since they dont feed on blood, the lab tests their sense of smell using honey.Vosshall and her team have also begun t
42、o study how genetics contribute to mosquitoes choice of a host. Shes even created a breed that is unable to sense carbon dioxide, an important trigger（诱因）for the insects.“By using genetics to make mutant(变异的) mosquitoes, we can document exactly how and why mosquitoes hunt humans,” Vosshall says.Once
43、 Vosshall figures out what makes mosquitoes flock to us, she can get to work on making them leave us alone. Many of her labs proposed solutions sound simple enough, including bracelets(手镯) that carry long-lasting repellants(驱虫剂) or traps that can reduce populations, but the breakthroughs, when they
44、come, may save millions of lives in the developing worldand a lot of itching everywhere else.32. Vosshall and her colleagues are mainly studying mosquitoes _.
