More than three million tulips cover the roads, on both sides of the Ottawa River. These beautiful flowers announce the arrival of spring and the official opening of the Canadian Tulip Festival, which is the world’s largest tulip festival. During this period, Canada’s capital will be alive with not only blooming(开花的) tulips, but music, parades, fireworks, and people from around the world.Why does Ottawa celebrate the tulip festival with such enthusiasm?The tradition began about 70 years ago. The German army had invaded(侵略) the Netherlands in May, 1940, and the royal family was forced to run away from their country. They went first to London then on to Ottawa where they were given Government House as a shelter. In 1943, Princess Juliana’s daughter, Princess Margriet was born at the Ottawa Civic Hospital. And the room where Princess Margriet was born was announced to be an official gift to the Netherlands by the Canadian government so that she would be born in her own country’s place. Because according to the Netherlands’ law, anyone who wasn’t born in the Netherlands will lose their citizenship, therefore Margriet would have no right to be the princess of the Netherlands.After the royal family returned to their homeland in 1945, Princess Juliana gave 100,000 tulip bulbs(球茎) to the Canadian government and the citizens of Ottawa as a reward. This started a tradition and every year ever since, another 100,000 bulbs were sent to Ottawa and planted all around the city. Over the next decade, the Canadian Tulip Festival became bigger and bigger and tourists started making Ottawa their destination in early May.Now this festival is not only a love of flowers, but also a symbol of friendship between the two countries. If you haven’t been to Ottawa in early May, don’t miss it.5. Why did Princess Juliana send tulip bulbs to Ottawa?A. Because her daughter Princess Margriet was born in Ottawa.B.

Print it out and complete a separate form for each artwork that you submit. •All artwork must describe species chosen from one of two lists as listed in Subject Matter (below). •All entries will become the possessions of the Endangered Species Coalition. We encourage you to copy artwork before submitting itSubject Matter•Students’ artwork must describe a land or ocean dwelling species that either lives in or migrates through the United States and its waters, or a plant/flower that is found in the United States, and has been placed on the threatened or endangered species list.•Alternatively, students may show a species that was previously on the e ndangered species list but is now considered recovered.•We strongly encourage participants to have their pieces tell a story of hope. An example of this could be a painting of an endangered marine species with people in the background cleaning up a beach. •Judges particularly appreciate artwork showing species in their habitats. Don’t forget about the plants that support all life!Submitting Artwork•Artwork should be submitted electronically at /submit-your-art.

Scientists, the people who know how to make such things happen, are now thinking about whether such experiments are morally right or not.On Nov. 10, Britain’s Academy of Medical Sciences launched a study on the use of animals with human materials in scientific research. The work is expected to take at least a year, but its leaders hope it will lead to guidelines for scientists in Britain and around the world on how far they can go mixing human genes into animals in search of ways to fight human diseases.“Do these constructs (构想) challenge our idea of what it is to be human?” asked Martin Bobrow, a professor of medical genetics at Cambridge University and chair of a 14-member group looking into the issue. “It is important that we consider these questions now so that appropriate boundaries are recognized.”Using human material in animals is not new. Scientists have already created monkeys that have a human form of the Huntingdon’s gene so they can study how the disease develops; and mice with livers (肝) made from human cells are being used to study the effects of new drugs.However, scientists say the technology to put ever greater amounts of human genetic material into animals is spreading quickly around the world --- raising the possibility that some scientists in some places may want to go further than is morally acceptable.Last year in Britain there was a lively debate over new laws allowing the creation of human-animal embryos (胚胎) for experiments. On one side of the debate were religious groups, who claimed that such science interferes with nature. Opposing them were scientists who pointed out that such experiments were vital to research cures for diseases.The experts will publish reports after the end of the study, in which they will give definitions for animal embryos with human genes or cells, look at safety and animal welfare issues, and consider the right legal framework to work within.13. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Scientists in Britain and around the world.B. Leaders of the research.C. Guidelines for scientists.D. Scientific experiments.14. Scientists do research of mixing human genes into animals in order to ______.A. test new drugs on animalsB. to find ways to fight human diseasesC. prove the research is morally acceptableD. create monkeys and mice with livers made from human cells15. What would be the best title of the passage?A. Morally right or not?B. A debate about new lawsC. Cures for diseasesD.
