Ques:Humans are naturally drawn to other life forms and the worlds outside of our own. We take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies beyond our everyday lives. This sense of wonder is universal. Look at the efforts that scientists have made to find out whether life of some kind exists on Mars, and the popularity of fantasy    literature or movies like The Lord of the Rings. This sense of wonder draws us to each other, to the world around us, and to the world of make-believe, but have we gone so far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that already exist all around us? Human beings, as biologists have suggested, possess an inborn desire to connect with and understand other life forms. However, people, especially in big cities, often lead rather isolated lives. In a study of British schoolchildren, it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from television shows and video games than common wildlife. Without modem technology, a small pond could be an amazing world filled with strange and beautiful plants, insects, birds, and animals. When we lack meaningful interaction with the world around us, and sometimes even with our families and friends, we seek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen. The world of make-believe is not necessarily bad, but when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet for our sense of wonder, then we are really missing something. We are missing a connection with the living world. Other wonderful worlds exist all around us. But even more interesting is that if we look closely enough,we can see that these worlds, in a broad sense ,are really part of our own. The popularity of The Lord of the Rings proves   _  . A) the close connection between man and the fantasy world B) the wonderful achievements of fantasy literature C) the fine taste of moviegoers around the world D) the general existence of the sense of curiosity

The great rain-forest and the frozen continents alike are seriously threatened, despite the warnings of the scientific community and the deep concern of millions of ordinary people.    In fact, we can create environmentally clean industries, use the power of the sun, wind and waves for our energy needs and manage the finite  resources of the earth in a way that will safeguard our future and protect all the rich variety of life-forms which share this planet with us.

Ques:Getting sick overseas can be scary. You're in an unfamiliar place and often don't speak the language. Although each trip is different, there are universal things you can do to keep safe.               Be prepared.  "Schedule a visit with a doctor who specializes in travel or the area you're visiting at least four weeks before your departure," says WHO public health expert Dr. Gilles Poumerol. A travel doctor will be able to give you the required and recommended vaccinations  as well as discuss any medical issues you may come across abroad.               Get insurance.  "In many countries where you have limited access to health care, good health care is only found in the private sector and can be very expensive," Dr. Poumerol says. Plus, in an emergency, returning to the United States can cost more than $50,000. Ask your health insurance company whether your policy applies overseas and whether it will cover trips to a foreign hospital. If not, there are many companies that offer short-term travel health insurance for a reasonable fee. A list can be found on the US State Department's travel website. Ks5u                 Pack well.  Dr. Poumerol also suggests bringing a note from your doctor in English and the language of the country you're visiting. Packing an emergency contact list is important. Contacts should include the local embassy ,  s who should be informed if you get sick and your health insurance company.               Be care.  You have to be in charge of your health. If you're being treated abroad, question the medical staff about their sterilization  practices; injection   equipment should be put in boiling water for at least 30 minutes or used only once. Also be sure that doctors and nurses are wearing gloves to prevent fluid transfer. Limiting your alcohol intake will keep you focused on your safety. If your common sense is perfect, the rest of your body should follow. Dr. Poumerol suggests bringing a note that  _  . A) records your life story abroad B) shows all your health and safety requirements C) was written in English and the local language D) was bought in the country you're visiting
