The orangutan(猩猩)is one of the four remaining kinds of man-like apes(类人猿)left in the world today. Orangutans are found only on the islands of Bomeo and Sumatra. They are growing fewer. There is a danger that they may die out.
Until the time between the wars, few orangutans were kept in zoos.
Little was known about them. As people came to know their gentle and interesting ways, they became more popular. Every zoo wanted to have some of them, but the number of orangutans in the world was small.
After the last war, the natives found they would make a lot of money by catching and selling young orangutans. Fully-grown and half-grown orangutans were much too strong to be taken. The only known way of catching the young was to shoot the parents first. This meant that orangutans were lost to wild life for everyone caught. It also meant that fewer orangutans were born. Once caught the young were so badly looked after that at least half of them died. They were usually sold to someone who knew little about looking after them.

He was just 12 years old when he died. But he brought courage and hope to people around the world.
Nkosi Johnson, who died last June, is remembered today as an AIDS fighter. This young boy challenged his government’s AIDS policies(政策)and united millions of South Africans in the fight against the disease.
Johnson was the longest surviving person born HIV positive(艾滋病病毒呈阳性). He survived with this deadly disease for 12 years before it claimed his life.
At first, Johnson was expected to live for nine months when his foster mother(养母),Gail Johnson, took him in at the age of two. She now runs Nkosi’s Haven across town from her house in Melville. The Haven is home to 20 children living with HIV or AIDS, and 11 of their mothers.
Johnson attracted the world’s attention and stole the hearts of thousands of people across the world at the 13th international AIDS Conference in Durban in July 2000. He stood in front of a large audience including South African President Thabo Mbeki, he told them that he wanted AZT, a drug used to treat AIDS patients, to be given to HIV-positive pregnant(怀孕的)women to prevent the disease being passed on to their unborn babies. He received a loud cheer at the end of his speech.

Wall Street is a place where the sun seldom shines. This doesn’t mean that it has a different climates(气候)from the rest of New York City. It only means that the buildings here in New York’s financial(金融的)center are so high that the street is usually in the shade.
Twenty years ago, life was a lot quieter on Wall Street. Many of the companies were old family companies. They had always been successful and did not see the needs to work very hard for their money. Sons entering their fathers’ business could come to work late, leave early, and be certain that no one would mind.
Those days are gone forever. Wall Street’s big bosses still have good offices on the top of floor. But downstairs in the trading rooms, clever young people are working hard at their computers sending money around the world.
Americans have never quite got used to trusting the banks. They remember too well the great Wall Street “crash” in 1929, when many banks closed and thousands of people lost their money.
Many Americans are not too happy about leaving the money in banks. They want to see it grow fast. That’s one reason why many people send as much money as they can in buying and improving houses. They know real estate(房地产)price often rises faster than anything else.
Grandpa might have put his money in a bag under the bed. But today, his grandson spends it on a new bedroom.

A. there are too many young people working in the banks
B. the banks are often closed and people can’t get money when they need
C. they want their money to grow
D. many banks once had to shut and people lost their money
68. According to the passage, more and more people are______.
A. saving money in a bag under beds

The city of Venice, in Italy, is one of a kind. It is built on more than 120 islands, just off the coast. The islands are small and close together. The waterways between them are used as streets. They are called canals.
In this watery world, people use boats to get from place to place. Gondolas, small boats that are moved with one oar(桨), were once the only boats used in the canals. But today motorboats make getting around faster; there are still lots of gondolas, though. Many tourists(游客)go to Venice all the year round. And they like to ride in the old-style(老式的)boats.
If you aren’t going far in this city, it’s easier to go on foot. There are hundreds of narrow footpaths. About 400 low bridges connect the footpaths and islands. But these bridges cause problems for the boaters. When the sea tide(潮)is high, the canal water rises. People in the boats must duck to fit under bridges.
