Welcome to Ontario Parks, a new body set up to manage Ontario‘s most treasured special places, the parks in our area.

We are entering a very exciting year for Ontario Parks. Last season we asked some 15,000 visitors in 45 parks how we could improve our programs and services. We also looked at the thousands of comment cards we received. As a result, new comfort stations have been added, the number of campsites has been increased, and we‘ve made other fzcility（設施） improvements. In addition, we‘ll be providing more educational programs. This year, for example, more than 40 parks will offer special day and evening activities to excite your curiosity about nature and history.

Through the Internet, you‘ll be happy to know that you can now explore all 270 parks on line. Let your family plan your park vacation, study a map of canoe routes, listen to the call of a loon or find up-to-date information about programs, services and facilities.

So come and discover what Ontario Parks has to offer. Our parks are places to go with families and friends, for relaxation and fun, or simply to get away from it all. They are places where we can enrich our souls and "recharge our internal（內部的） batteries". They provide chances to explore nature, see wildlife, swim, canoe, camp, hike, picnic, ride a bike… You‘ll enjoy some of the best outdoor experiences available anywhere in the world.

We urge you to make 2006 the year that you come out and have an Ontario Parks experience!

Juanito Estrella has been a housekeeping manager on the US-based large passenger ship Carnival Spirit for 18 months and feels he  has found the suitable position in his career(職業(yè)).He has always wanted to travel."I guess I am a really restless spirit.I Iike traveling,so when the chance came,I jumped at it,"he says.

The chance came in the form of a newspaper advertisement for work on cruise ships（游船）.At the time Estrella was the housekeeping manager at a Melbourne hotel.He applied and,after two interviews,a medical check and police clearance,the job was his.

Estrella is responsible(負責的)for the cleanliness of the ship,making sure that 160 crew work properly."I enjoy it because there is no other work-you wake up each day in a different place and a different cnlture.It‘s exciting when you go to the next country and you don‘t understand the language,"he says.

Estrella likes being busy and getting to know people from all over the world.The 1,000 crew come from 94 countries,and Estrella has learnt Spanish and a little Croatian.

But there is a downside ."You cannot get really drunk...because you have safety responsibilities to yourself and others,"he says."You don‘t really think about home.You start tothink about home only when you get closer to your vacation and wonder what you‘ll be doing."

Lite on the ship is anything but cruising.Estrella and his fellows work at least 10 hours a day,seven days a week.He warns the job is not for everybody."You have to love being busy and be prepared to work every day-and to give up drinking too much alcohol."In his spare time,if the ship sails into a port,Estrella explores it,otherwise he works out in the crew‘s gym,goes on the internet or calls home.

EAT YOUR VEGETABLES.Wash your hands.Always say "please"and"thank you".We are full of advice for our children,but when it comes to money,we often have little to say.As a result,our children may grow up with clean hands and good manners,but without any idea how tomanage their money.

Here are some basics that will help guide them their entire lives：

Show them the future.If your 13-year-old girl were to save $1.000,invest(投資)it at 8% and add $100 every month,by the time she‘s 65,she would have $980,983!

Be careful of credit(信用).Credit cards can help you buy necessary things and build a credit history,but they must be used responsibly,which means paying off your debt in time.Explain to your children that when you buy something using a credit card,you can easily end up paying two or three times what you would have paid if you used cash.

Teach patience.Suppose your child wants a new bicycle that costs $150.Rather than paying the cash,give him some regular pocket money and explain that by putting aside,say,$15 each week,he will be able to buy it for himself in only ten weeks.

Provide incentive.Tell your children the importance of saving."For every dollar he or she agrees to save and invest rather than spend,you agree to add another dollar to the pot,"says Cathy Pareto,expert in money planning.

Explain your values.Values and money are deeply intertwined,says Eilleen Gallo,co-author of The Financially Intelligent Parent.When your child demands that you buy something,explain why you really don‘t want to buy it."You might say, ‘I‘d rather save that money for your education,‘"advises Gallo.Every time you spend or don‘t spend money,you have a chance to share your values.

 A.parents teach their children how to deal with money
 B.children follow their parents‘instructions
 C.children manage their money
 D.parents save their money

 B.encourage him to put money away for it
 C.explain to him the importance of investment
 D.tell him to save some money by using a credit card
69.The underlined word"incentive"in paragraph 6 means ____.
A.honor B.praise C.excitement D.encouragement
70.What leads the writer to write this article?
 A.Parents want to know how to educate their children.
 B.He wants to share his good ideas about money matters.
 C.He thinks money management the most important for children.
 D.Parents care Iittle about their children‘s management of money.

Instead of hitting the beach.fourteen high school students traded swimming suits for lab coats last summer and turned their attention to scientific experiments.

The High School Research Program offers high school students guidance with researchers in Texas A&M‘s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.Jennifer Funkhouser,academic adviser for the Department of Rangeland Ecology and Management,dirests this four-week summer program designed to increase understanding of research and its career potential(潛能）。

Several considerations go into selecting students,including grades,school involvement and interest in science and agriculture.And many students come from poorer school districts,Funkhouser says."This is their chance to learn techniques and do experiments they never would have a chance to do in high school.

Warner Ervin of Houston is interested in animal science and learned how to tell male from female mosquitoes(蚊子）.His adviser,Craig Coates,studies the genes of mosquitoes that allow them to fight against malaria and yellow fever.Coates thought this experience would be fun and helpful to the high school students.

The agricultural research at A&M differs from stereotypes.It‘s"molecular(分子)science on the cutting edge,"Funkhouser says.The program broadened students‘knowledge.Victor Garcia of Rio Grande City hopes to become a biology teacher and says he learned a lot about chemistry from the program.

At the end of the program,the students presented papers on their research.They‘re also paid $600 for their work-another way this program differs from others,which often charge a fee.

Fourteen students got paid to learn that science is fun,that agriculture is a lot more than milking and plowing and that research can open many doors.

71.The research program is chiefly designed for ____.
 A.high school advisers from Houston
 B.college students majoring in agriculture
 C.high school students from different places
 D.researchers at the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences
72.It can be inferred from the text that the students in poorer areas ____.
 A.had little chance to go to college

 C.found the program useful to their future
 D.showed much interest in their high school experiments
73.When the program was over,the students ____.
A.entered that college    B.wrote research reports
C.paid for their research D.found way to make money
74.The underlined expression"on the cutting edge"in paragraph 5 means"on the most ____ position".

75.What would be the best title for the text?
