Towards the end of high school, when it came time to start thinking about what colleges I was interested in applying to, there was only one thing on my mind: I wanted to get away from home. I was the elder of two 36 , and had begun to feel the urge to be on my own, that I was

37 to take charge of my own life.

Even at the time of being accepted to Virginia Tech, I was 38 at the prospect of starting over, with new faces, and new things to see and do.

Section B Short Answer Questions ( 10 marks: 2 marks for each item )

Directions: In this part there is a short passage followed by five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefiilly. Then answer the questions or complete the statements with no more than 10 words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet.

Is there anything more harmless than a turtle? (Unless, I suppose, you're a nice, leafy

vegetable.) Turtles and tortoises…the main difference is that turtles dwell at least partially in water, while tortoises live exclusively on land—are slow-moving, peaceful animals whose main form of protection from the outside is a hard shell. Not for nothing do we have the fable of the slow and steady tortoises winning the race. Turtles have existed in some form for more than 220 million years, outlasting their early contemporaries the dinosaurs (恐龍).Long-lived turtles and tortoise are symbols of perseverance in the natural world.

Unfortunately, the rules of the race are changing. Turtles and tortoises are among the world's most endangered vertebrates(脊椎動物).Only primate(靈長動物)---human being excepted… are at greater risk of being wiped off the planet The threats are numerous. The animals are collected by traders, eaten in the wild and in fine restaurants, used as pets and for traditional medicine, and sometimes simply killed. The very adaptation that once made them so successful—their long adult life span and delayed sexual maturityhas made them vulnerable as the world around them changed, mostly thanks to human beings.

A 2011 report from the Turtle Conservation Coalition makes it clear: we need to act if we're to save the turtles and tortoises.

"We are facing a turtle survival crisis unheard of in its severity and risk. Humans are the problem, and must therefore be the solution. Without concerted conservation action, many of the world's turtles and tortoises will become extinct within the next few decades. It is now up to us to prevent the loss of these remarkable, unique jewels of evolution.”

As we mark World's Turtle Day on May 23, spare a thought for these armored but endangered creatures.
