They sleep through meetings. They never pay. They don’t even use bathrooms when they have to go. However, Ehmke puts up with such rude behavior, and he does it happily. Why? Because he designs homes for gorillas, bears, lions, and other zoo animals. And he enjoys the challenge of looking at the world through their exotic (奇異的 ) eyes. “The role of a zoo designer is to think as much as possible about what will make each animal fortable, happy, and active,” says Ehmke, director of the Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley. “It would be wrong to say you can know what an animal is thinking and feeling,” he adds. “But we do our best to get as close to that as possible when we’re designing homes for them.” Most zoo visitors focus on the animals, not on the habitats and barriers that fence the animals in. But details like these have received extra attention since December, when a female Siberian tiger escaped from her enclosure (圍欄 ) at the San Francisco Zoo. The 4yearold, 350pound cat killed one person and injured two others. The incident raised fears among zoo goers and sent staff at zoos across the nation rushing to evaluate how safe their own exhibits are. Still, experts say, the tragic event should not scare people away from zoos. “There have probably been 5 billion visits to zoos in the last 50 years,” Ehmke says. “This is the first time this has happened.” 11. What is Lee Ehmke? A. An official. B. A professor. C. A designer. D. A feeder. 12. What does the underlined expression “Lee Ehmke’s customers” refer to? A. Architects. B. Animals. C. Bathrooms. D. Visitors. 13. Focusing on the habitats and barriers begins with __________________. A. architects’ designing homes for the zoo animals B. animals’ looking at the world through their exotic eyes C. a female Siberian tiger’s escaping and killing persons D. the nation rushing to evaluate how important the zoos 14. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. All the zoo animals in the passage are very easy to deal with. B. The purpose of a zoo designer is to make the zoo animals’ life easier. C. Many of the zoo visitors would pay attention to the animals’ enclosures. D. There are 5 billion tragic events that happened in the zoos in the last 50 years. 15. What’s the best title of the passage? A. The other side of the zoo fence. B. The other side of the tiger. C. The habitat of the tiger. D. The escape of animals. B Not all vegetables need lots of sunshine. Mark Hoffman and his wife own a bedandbreakfast guesthouse in rural Kempton, Illinois. They often serve their guests fresh products from the garden. The Hoffmans have been growing food and flowers for twentyfive years. For almost ten of those years, Mr. Hoffman has been experimenting and working with shade (陰涼 ) plantings. He says, “The bottom line here is that most plants will produce more in full sun. But if you do not have full sun, there are other choices.” For example, he grows tomatoes near oak trees. Oak trees can produce a lot of shade. But Mr. Hoffman says his tomato plants grow as long as they get five hours’ direct sunshine a day, especially morning sun. Not only does this go against the traditional advice that tomatoes need six, eight, even
