Addtwo pieces of advanced 21st century technology globalpositioning system (GPS) devices and the Inter to get“geocaching”.The word geocaching es from “geo” (earth) and“cache” (hidden storage). Geocachers log onto a websiteto find information about the location of a cache usually a waterproof plastic box containing small itemssuch as toys and CDs along with a notebook where“finders” can enter ments and learn about the cache“owner”, the person who created and hid the cache.Finders may take any of the items in the cache but areexpected to replace them with something of similar value.They then visit the website again and write a message tothe owner.Geocaching became possible on May 1, 2000, when asatellite system developed by the U.S. Department ofDefense was made public. Using an inexpensive GPS device,anyone on earth can send a signal to the satellites andreceive information about their position. This is basicallya high-tech version of orienteering, the traditionalpastime which uses maps and passes instead of GPS todetermine ones location.Geocachers are a very considerate group. Ownerscarefully choose a caches location to give finders anenjoyable experience, such as a beautiful view or a goodcampsite. They also consider the environmental impact oftheir cache since it could result in an increased number ofvisitors to an area.

I didnt find the chimps tea parties funny, northe bird shows entertaining. Feeding time for seals wasless painful, but their performances still seemed like theybelonged more in a circus.And I hated circuses, especially the animal acts menteasing lions, girls balancing on elephants and monkeysplaying football. I knew that every trick a circus animaldid was unnatural, achieved through strict training andquite possibly cruelty.Happily, during my lifetime public attitudes and thelaw have changed. Circuses using wild animals are nowalmost extinct, and zoos have definitely evolved.When my children were young, I oasionally took them toour local zoo. The elephants were in tiny cages and thegorillas looked bored as they sat peeling bananas andstaring at teasing visitors. Each cage had a sign whichlisted the animals name and where it came from. But, backthen, there was little information included about theenvironmental challenges they faced.As a result, environmentalists and animal lovers oftenoppose zoos. “Animals belong in the wild,” is a mon and understandable plaint. But what do the animalsthemselves prefer?Generally speaking, zoo animals have a longer life. But you may protest they are not free. What? Free to behunted and killed, free to die of hunger or thirst? Maybesitting in a cage eating bananas isnt so bad.Not that such conditions are aeptable in modern zoos,due to the work of BIAZA, the British and Irish Associationof Zoos and Aquariums. These days every zoo requiresBIAZAs approval to operate, and the association sets thestandards, observes conditions in zoos and develops animal-research programmes, both in the UK and abroad. BIAZA alsoorganises the animal exchanges between zoos all over theworld.Consequently, today, most zoo animals are born andraised in zoos, live in large, fortable enclosures and arecared for by well-trained, knowledgeable and caring zooemployees. Of course its no substitute for living in thewild but unfortunately this isnt always possible.Meanwhile, why not visit your local zoo and decide foryourself?8. The passage is mainly about .A. how zoos have improvedB. whether a zoo should be closed downC. a new environmental organisationD. the difference between zoos and circuses9. From Paragraph 2, we can guess that the writerbelieves circus animals .A. had much shorter lives than those in the wildB. were not treated well by their trainersC. should have been placed in zoosD. were not as intelligent as those in zoos10. Which of the following roles are performed by BIAZA?A. Organising animal study projects and training zooworkers.B. Checking zoo conditions and arranging animalexchanges.C. Designing zoos and approving zoo operations.D. Caring for ill animals and setting zoo standards.11. Which of the following statements about zoos wouldthe writer agree with?A. Zoo animals should be freed into the wild.B. Zoos are more popular now than in the past.C. Zoo animals are more restricted than in the past.D. Zoos now provide caring living conditions foranimals.DFar out in the lake was a large wooden platform onwhich stood an improbably high diving board a kind ofwooden Eiffel Tower. It was, Im sure, the countystallest wooden structure and no one had ever been known tojump from it.So it was quite a shock when our teacher, Mr. Milton,announced that he would dive off the high board that veryafternoon.Word of his questionable plan was already spreadingthrough town as Mr. Milton swam out to the platform. He wasjust a tiny, stick figure when he got there but even fromsuch a distance the high board seemed almost to touch theclouds. Once at the top, he paced the enormously long board,then took some deep breaths and finally stood at edge. Hewas going to do it.Several hundred people had gathered at the shore towatch. Mr. Milton stood for quite a long time, then heraised his arms, took one massive bounce and launchedhimself into a perfect dive. It was beautiful. He fell withperfect style for what seemed minutes. The crowd fellsilent. The only sound to be heard was the faint whistle ofhis body tearing through the air toward the water far, farbelow.But about three quarters of the way down he seemed tohave second thoughts and began suddenly to panic, wavinghis arms and legs like someone having a bad dream. When hewas perhaps thirty feet above the water, he gave up onwaving and spread his arms and legs wide, apparently hopingthat it would somehow slow his fall.It didnt.He hit the water at over six hundred miles an hour. Theimpact was so loud that it made birds fly out of theirtrees three miles away. I dont think he entered the waterat all. He just bounced off it, about fifteen feet backinto the air. After that, he lay still on the surface,spinning like an autumn leaf.He was brought to shore by two passing fishermen in arowboat and placed on an old blanket where he spent therest of the afternoon. Oasionally he aepted small sips ofwater, but otherwise was too shocked to speak. From head totoe, he was covered with deep red bruises. It was the best day of my life.12. What did the writer think of Mr. Miltons plan tojump from the diving board?A. Crazy. B. Disappointing. C. Heroic. D. Confused.13.

He hit the water at over six hundred miles an hour.B. The impact was so loud that it made birds fly out oftrees up to three miles away.C. He just bounced off it, about fifteen feet back intothe air.D.
