26、The Matschie's tree kangaroo (袋鼠)is one of 10 species of tree kangaroos, all of which are endangered. A tree kangaroo is about the size of a raccoon (浣熊) and weighs around 19 pounds. They live in the high canopy (树) of the rainforest, about 100 to 150 feet in the air. The Matschie's tree kangaroo is orange and brown with a face that looks like a teddy bear. They car jump 60 feet to the ground from trees without getting hurt.
In 1996, Dr. Lisa Dabek helped found the Tree Kangaroo Conservation Program (TKCP). Now, 16 years later, though still endangered, the population of the Matschie's tree kangaroo is under control. Much of the success is because of the work of Dabek, Senior Conservation Scientist at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, Washington, and Director of the TKCP.
According to Dabek, the TKCP needed to cooperate (合作) with the local clans (部落), some of whom kill tree kangaroos for food or other reasons. Dabek said, "We and the clans reached an agreement. The clans would set aside a part of their land as a 'no hunting area'. But they could continue to hunt on their other land. In total they set aside 180,000 acres of land. They called this a ‘Wildlife Bank’.”
Animal behavior has always been interesting to Dr. Dabek. She said, "When I was 8 years old, a friend and I wrote down what we wanted to be when we grew up and put it inside an envelope to open when we were teenagers. When I opened it I was reminded that I wanted to be an animal trainer. And that is kind of what I am today.”

27、Dear Editor (编辑) Buddy,
On my way to work every morning I drive by a farm where I can see some horses off the woods. They are there every morning no matter how cold or rainy or windy it is. There is a shed (牲口棚) on the farm, but it doesn’t seem that the horses are ever taken into the shed. Is this right? I don’t think horses should be treated (对待) like that.
Sam
Dear Sam,
Thanks for taking an interest in those horses. The care of horses is different from that of cats and dogs. Think of wild horses that spend their whole lives outdoors finding food and shelter (遮蔽) on their own. The point is that horses don’t require as much shelter as other farm animals. However, that doesn’t mean that they don’t need shelter.
It is hard to tell from your letter whether the situation for those horses is unacceptable. Do you know the people who own the horses well enough to just talk to them? Maybe they will tell you that the horses do go in the shed at night. If direct contact (联系) is not a choice and you can see that the horses’ situation is poor, then call 911 and report it.
If you just can’t see enough to prove such a report, call the Oswego County Humane Society at 207-1070 for help from the Large Animal Assistance Project (LAAP). A volunteer from the project will help solve the problem.
Speaking of volunteers, since you appear to be a horse lover, why not talk to the LAAP about volunteer opportunities for yourself? The project always needs knowledgeable horse people to help.
Buddy
【1】Sam writes to Editor Buddy in order to________.
A.ask how to keep horses outdoors

【2】According to Editor Buddy, horses ________.
A.need less shelter than other farm animals
B.know the changes in the weather
C.like finding food by themselves
D.prefer living indoors
【3】What does Editor Buddy advise Sam to do first?
A.To call 911.
B.To turn to the LAAP for help.
C.To contact the horses’ owners directly.
D.To call the Oswego County Humane Society.
【4】In the last paragraph of the second letter, Editor Buddy_______.
A.advises Sam to change his job
B.encourages Sam to join the LAAP
C.praises Sam for his good behavior
D.explains the importance of the LAAP

29、Family communication refers to the way verbal(口头)and non-verbal information is exchanged between family members.【1】In other words, an important part of communication is not just talking, but listening to what others have to say.

It can lead to many family problems, including ineffective problem-solving and weak emotional bonding(情感纽带).
