There are many places to go on safari（觀賞野生動(dòng)物）in Africa, but riding a horse through the flooded waters of Botswana's Okavango Delta must rank as one of the world's most exciting wildlife journeys.

Several safari camps operate as the base for this adventure, providing unique rides twice a day to explore deep into the delta. The camps have excellent horses, professional guides and lots of support workers. They have a reputation for providing a great riding experience.

The morning ride, when the guides take you to beautiful, shallow lakes full of water lilies, tends to be more active. It is unlike any other riding experience. With rainbows forming in the splashing water around you and the sound of huge drops of water bouncing off your body and face，it is truly exciting. You are very likely to come across large wild animals, too. On horseback it is possible to get quite close to elephants, giraffes and many other animals. The sense of excitement and tension levels rise suddenly though, as does your heart rate, as you move closer to them.

In the evening, rides are usually at a more relaxed and unhurried pace, with golden light streaming across the grassy delta and the animals coming out to eat and drink. Sedate though they are, rides at this time of day are still very impressive. As the sun's rays pass through the dust kicked up by the horses, the romance of Africa comes to life.

Back at the camp you can kick off your boots and enjoy excellent food and wine. Looking back on your day, you will find it hard to deny that a horseback Safari is as close as you will ever come to answering the call of the wild.

1.What does the underlined word "They" refer to?

A. Flooded waters B. Wildlife journeys

C. Safari camps D. Unique rides

2.What does the author find most exciting about a horseback safari?

A. Seeing and feeling the real African life.

B. Enjoying good food and wine at the camp.

C. Hunting large animals just as our ancestors did.

D. Being part of the scene and getting close to animals.

3.What does the underlined word "Sedate" probably mean?

A. Wild and romantic B. Slow and peaceful

C. Hungry and thirsty D. Active and excited

4.The author introduces the riding experience in the OKavango Delta mainly by________.

A. following space order B. following time order

C. making classifications D. Giving examples

I have been consistently opposed to feeding a baby regularly. As a doctor, mother and scientist in child development, I believe there is nothing to recommend it, from the baby’s point of view.

Mothers, doctors and nurse alike have no idea of where a baby’s blood sugar level lies. All we know is that a low level is harmful to brain development and makes a baby easily annoyed. In this state, the baby is difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible. The baby asks for attention by crying and searching for food with its mouth.

It is not just unkind but also dangerous to say that a four-hourly feeding schedule will make a baby satisfied. The first of the experts to advocate (提倡) a strict clock-watching schedule was Dr Frederic Truby King, who was against feeding in the night. I’ve never heard anything so silly. Baby feeding shouldn’t follow a timetable set by the mum. What is important is feeding a baby in the best way, though it may cause some inconvenience in the first few weeks.

Well, at last we have copper-bottomed research that supports demand feeding and points out the weaknesses of strictly timed feeding. The research finds out that babies who are fed on demand do better at school at age 5, 7, 11 and 14, than babies fed according to the clock. By the age of 8, their IQ（智商）scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a strict timetable. This Research comes from Oxford and Essex University using a sample（樣本）of 10,419 children born in the early 1990s, taking account of parental education, family income, a child’s sex and age, the mother’s health and feeling style. These results don’t surprise me. Feeding according to schedule runs the risk of harming the rapidly growing brain by taking no account of sinking blood sugar levels. I hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeding practices.

1. The underlined word “copper-bottomed” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _________.

A. basic B. reliable

C. surprising D. interesting

2.What does the research tell us about feeding a baby on demand?32

A. The baby will sleep well.

B. The baby will have its brain harmed.

C. The baby will have a low blood sugar level.

D. The baby will grow to be wiser by the age of 8.

3. The author supports feeding the baby_______.35

A. in the night

B. every four hours

C. whenever it wants food

D. according to its blood sugar level

4.Which of the following sentences is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Dr King advocated feeding in the night.

B. Dr King was against a strict clock-watching schedule.

C. The author thinks Dr King’s idea is wrong.

D. The author thinks Dr King’s idea is right.
