A man in Indonesia is walking backwards for 435 miles（ 700 kilometers）.He' s making the trip to encourage the government and others to protect and rebuild Indonesia's rainforests.

Medi Bastoni is 43 years old.He is the father of four children and lives in Dono,Indonesia.That's about 12.5 miles（20 kilometers） from Mount Wilis,a beautiful mountain area that has had large areas of forests cut down in the past.

Indonesia is the largest country in the world formed by a group of islands.There are over 16 ，000 islands in Indonesia,and most of them are covered with rainforests.Forests cover about 70% of the country.But on Java,where Mr Bastoni lives,there are more people,and far more forests have been cleared.

Some areas of Indonesia's rainforests have been cut or burned.Mr Bastoni believes it's important to protect forests from being cut down and to restore them when they have been destroyed.Near his home,Mount Wilis is now being restored,but Mr Bastoni wants to make sure that this protection continues.

That's why he came up with the idea of the 435-mile walk.He aims to walk from his home in Dono,across most of the island of Java to the country 's capital,Jakarta.There,he hopes to meet the country 's president,Joko Widodo.

Mr Bastoni hopes to arrive in Jakarta on August 17.It is the country s independence day celebration.If he is able to meet Mr Widodo,he plans to ask him for the seed of a tree to plant at the bottom of Mount Wilis.The seed is meant as a symbol and a promise that the area will be protected.

And walking backwards is a symbol,too.Mr Bastoni wants Indonesians to look back at their past and think about how they got their independence.

But walking backwards is also a good way to get attention.Right now,Mr Bastoni s backwards walk is pretty big news in Indonesia.

Someof the world's most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying(联合) voice across cultures.

Despitethe celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.

It'sJason Moran's job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center's artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture．

"Jazzseems like it's not really a part of the American appetite," Moran tells National Public Radio's reporter Neal Conan. "What I'm hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and white anymore． It's actually color, and it's actually digital."

Moransays one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. "The music can't be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same," says Moran.

Lastyear, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller's music for a dance party, "Just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music," says Moran. "For me, it's the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion(情感) lie? Are we, as humans gaining any insight (感悟) on how to talk about ourselves and how something abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context," says Moran, "So I want to continue those dialogue． Those are the things I want to foster."

(1) Why did UNESCO set April 30 as International Jazz Day?

A. To remember the birth of jazz.

B. To protect cultural diversity.

C. To encourage people to study music．

D. To recognize the value of jazz.

(2) What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Jazz becoming more accessible．

B. The production of jazz growing faster.

C. Jazz being less popular with the young．

D. The jazz audience becoming larger.

(3) What can we infer about Moran’s opinion on jazz?

A. It will disappear gradually. B. It remains black and white．

C. It should keep up with the times. D. It changes every 50 years.

(4) Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Exploring the Future of Jazz B. The Rise and Fall of Jazz

C. The Story of a Jazz Musician D. Celebrating the Jazz Day

Most online fraud （诈骗） involves identity theft passwords help.But many can be guessed.Newer phones,tablets,laptops and desktop computers often have strengthened security with fingerprint and facial recognition.But these can be imitated.That is why a new approach,behavioural biometrics（行为生物识别） is gaining ground.

It relies on the wealth of measurements made by today's devices（设备）.These include data from sensors that reveal how people hold their phones when using them,how they carry them and even the way they walk.Touchscreens,keyboards and mice can be monitored（监测） to show the unique ways in which someone s fingers and hands move.These features can then be used to determine whether someone attempting to make a deal is likely to be the device's habitual user.

"Behavioural biometrics make it possible to identify an individual's unique motion fingerprint," says John Whaley,head of Unifyid,a firm in Silicon Valley that is involved in the field.When coupled with information about a user' s finger pressure and speed on the touchscreen,as well as a device's regular places of use- -as revealed by its GPS unit- -that user' 's identity can be pretty well determined.

Used wisely,behavioural biometrics could be a great benefit.In fact,Unifyid and an unnamed car company are even developing a system that unlocks the doors of a vehicle once the pace of the driver,as measured by his phone,is recognized.Used unwisely,however,the system would become yet another electronic spy on people 's privacy,permitting complete strangers to monitor your every action,from the moment you reach for your phone in the morning,to when you throw it on the floor at night.

(1) What is behavioural biometrics for？______

A. To identify network crime. B. To ensure network security.

C. To track online fraud. D. To gather online data.

(2) How does behavioural biometrics work？______

A. By offering and analyzing the operating system of devices.

B. By spotting and revealing a device' s regular places of use.

C. By restricting and detecting the access to an account of users.

D. By monitoring and comparing the ways users interact with devices.

(3) What's the author s attitude towards behavioural biometrics？______

A. Objective. B. Concerned. C. Doubtful. D. Favorable.

(4) From which section of a magazine can this text possibly be taken？______

A. Health and wealth. B. Books and arts.

C. Finance and economics. D. Science and technology.

What is a major？

(1) Beyond general college requirements， you'll also take a group of courses in a subject of your choosing such as Chemistry， Literature， or Political Science．

How important is my major？

When do I declare a major？

This varies widely across schools and programs． (3) Others require that you declare upon a major by the time that you set foot inside your first class．

(4)

Definitely． One of the most exciting aspects of college life is that it introduces you to new subjects and arouses new passions． However， keep this in mind：every major has necessary course work． If you change your major late in the game， it may take more than the traditional four years to earn a degree．

What are minors and double majors？

If one field of study doesn't satisfy your intellectual appetite， consider a minor． A minor is similar to a major in that it's an area of academic concentration． (5) A double major provides you with an understanding of two academic fields． It allows you to become familiar with two sets of values and views while it also requires you to fulfill two sets of requirements．

A．Can I change my mind？

B．Is my major time-consuming？

C．It's your specialized area of study in college．

D．Most students find one major is more than enough．

Once,when I was a teenager,my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus（马戏团）.Finally,there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.

This family made a big impression on me.There were eight children,all probably under the age of twelve.You could tell they didn't have a lot of money.Their clothes were not expensive,but they were clean.The children were well-behaved,all of them standing in line,two-by-two behind their parents,holding hands.They were excitedly talking about the clowns,elephants,and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice.

One could sense they had never been to the circus before.It promised to be highlight of their young lives.The father and mother were at the head of the pack,standing proud as could be.The mother was holding her husband's hand,looking up at him as if to say,"You are my knight in shining armor."

The father was smiling and responding in pride,looking back at her as if to say,"You got that right. "The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted.He proudly responded,"Please let me buy eight children tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.

The ticket lady gave the price.The mother let go of her husband's hand,her head dropped.The father' s lips began to shake and leaned a little closer and asked,"How much did you say？"

The ticket lady again quoted the price.The man didn't have enough money.

How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight children that he didn't have enough money to take them to the circus？.

Actually we were not wealthy in any sense.So I understand how the kids would feel.I felt sorry for them.
