　　參考閱讀：

　　Rosemary McCleod has one of this country's largest collections of women's handcrafts. When it was exhibited at the Dowse gallery, almost 40,000 women of all ages came to see it, and the idea for this book was born. In her own words: "My collection began when I held onto items made by women in my own family when they died. I still have items made by my great grandmother, grandmother and my mother. I began collecting other objects about 20 years ago. I found them in thrift shops and bought them because they seemed to tell a story I knew from my own background." In Thrift to Fantasy, Rosemary has used them to brilliant effect, creating a unique social and personal history of their makers - women and girls who dreamed about a life beyond the farm gate and worked those dreams into reality, using the simple materials they had to hand. From rag rugs to felt handbags, from patchwork quilts to sacking aprons, from knitted panties to topsyturvy dolls, they provide a unique insight into women's art and creativity in a new country learning its own nature. Superbly illustrated with hundreds of examples from the 30s, 40s and 50s and designed by Sarah Maxey, this book is destined to become a classic.

　　文章題目 The tuatara-past and future

　　題材 動(dòng)物

　　題型 判斷 4+填空 5+選擇 4

　　文章大意 新西蘭蜥蜴生活習(xí)性的地特性，數(shù)量不斷減少。減少的原因和采取的措施，但效果未知。新西蘭一個(gè)機(jī)構(gòu)正致力于保護(hù)，并且越來(lái)越多的人加入棲息地進(jìn)行保護(hù)。通過(guò)歷史的發(fā)現(xiàn)以及各個(gè)科學(xué)家的研究，說(shuō)明誰(shuí)最先到島上生存，最后說(shuō)將來(lái)給后代留下的不僅僅是動(dòng)物。

　　參考閱讀： Tuatara are reptiles endemic to New Zealand. Although resembling most lizards, they are part of a distinct lineage, the order Rhynchocephalia. Their name derives from the Māori language, and means "peaks on the back" The single species of tuatara is the only surviving member of its order, which flourished around 200 million years ago. Their most recent common ancestor with any other extant group is with the squamates (lizards and snakes). For this reason, tuatara are of great interest in the study of the evolution of lizards and snakes, and for the reconstruction of the appearance and habits of the earliest diapsids, a group of amniote tetrapods that also includes dinosaurs, birds, and crocodilians.
