     Millions of people visit Yosemite National Park every year to see the tall waterfalls and mountains. Thee
mountains are a splendid sight when viewed from the valley floor. Lots of stores, hotels, and restaurants are
needed to handle the crowds. Also, water, roads, and other service systems are part of the infrastructure
(基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施) that must be maintained.
     Unfortunately,these systems are starting to break down. It's not just in Yosemite but in national parks
around the nation.
     Yosemite is thirty years old according to Dennis Galvin, a National Park Service worker. The park is not
only old but worn out. Two or three times as many visitors come every year. That is too many visitors for the
parks to deal with.
     Four years ago a storm washed out a water pipeline in the Grand Canyon. The National Park service had
to send water trucks to provide water for the visitors. Last month pipes almost broke again and roads had to
be closed for a while.
     Why hasn't the National Park Service kept up the park repairs? There is a lack of money. The United States
has 378 monuments, parks, and wilderness areas. Between three and four billion dollars are needs for repairs.
     Yosemite is one national park that does have money for repairs. It has two hundred million dollars but
cannot spend it any way it chooses. When the park workers started widening the road, they were forced to
stop by the Sierra Club. The club claimed that the road work was damaging the Merced River that runs through
the park.
     A sierra Club lawyer, Julia Olson, feels that the infrastructure needs to be moved out of Yosemite. That way
less pressure will be put on the already crowded park.
1. According to the text, the mountains in Yosemite look most splendid when they are appreciated
from _____. 
A. the bottom of the valleys
B. the top of the mountains
C. the side of the mountains
D. the edge of the valleys
2. National parks like Yosemite in the U.S. find it increasingly difficult to meet the need of visitors
because _______.
A. that transport management needs improving
B. they spend too much on their service systems
C. their service systems frequently go out of order
D. they need help from environmental organizations

3. The main problem of Yosemite National Park is its _______. 

A. rundown water pipes
B. overcrowdedness
C. lack of money
D. narrow roads
4. According to the text, the Sierra Club is most likely to be ______.
A. an environmental group
B. an information center
C. a travel service
D. a law firm

    　　You Mi, a lovely and confident 17-year-old student, is the first Chinese high school student to appear on the cover of the popular young adults’ fashion magazine Seventeen．

    　　“You is IN，” said Wang Lihua, Editor-in-Chief of Seventeen．“You is active and mature(成熟的)because of her knowledge on everything from academic studies，to books on art, to movies．We found she’s the very style we’re looking for to represent young people’s attitudes．”

    　　You also impressed Wang with her fluent English when they first met last year．As the hostess of an English broadcasting programme at the High School Affiliated to Renmin University，she is always praised for speaking English almost like a native speaker．“I’ve built up my English by watching thousands of English DVDs since I was 10,” she explained．

    　　But for her, watching isn’t enough．Last year，while in Senior 1, You met a talented boy who showed self-made DV movies at the English Corner in her school．

    　　“I thought it was so cool and I knew that I should start making my own films，” she said．So she wrote a campus(校園)story, persuaded schoolmates to star in it and then began shooting a 30-minute DV movie, all in English．“I played one of the leading roles, actually I was everything in my film．I worked on it every single day during the SARS holidays,” she recalled．The movie finally became a big hit on campus，earning You a strong reputation(名氣)as a DV movie director．

    　　But this is not the only field she wants to master．Despite being a science student, she likes art, literature and fashion design very much．

    　　“There are people who can be artists, there are people who edit books，and there are people who become film producers．But I just hope to mix all the things up!” she said．“There is an old saying I believe：Chance favours only the prepared mind．”
