Dear Ms.Smith,
It is with great interest and enthusiasm that I am applying for the arts education internship (实习)advertised in Sunday’s New York Times.This position is exactly what I am looking for and an ideal opportunity for me to use my knowledge,educational background,and experience.
My arts education at Pratt Institute has helped me develop a firm foundation in the arts.The courses I have completed at Pratt,along with my study abroad in Paris,has prepared me well for a position in arts education.I have always enjoyed a passion for the arts but my undergraduate (本科)education has taken my interest to a whole new level.I not only enjoy doing art but I find myself even more enthusiastic when I have the opportun ity to teach what I have learned.
For the past two summers I have worked directly with children at CityArts.These experiences were amazing since my responsibilities included planning and directing major projects that were planned for the summer program that goes on each year for local children interested in the arts.I was given a concept at the beginning of each summer and I had complete control of how the projects were to be completed.The chi ldren were the creative force and often were the inspiration for the artwork that was eventually presented to the public.
I am very excited about the summer opportunity with the Children’s Museum of the Arts since I know that I can definitely make a positive contribution while doing what I love,teaching art to children.I will contact you in one week to discuss my candidacy(候选资格)and see ifyou have any questions about my education or experience.Thank you for your time and consideration.
19
Sincerely,
Samantha R.Gray

Coral reefs(珊 瑚 礁)are not just beautiful to look at,but also very useful.They shelter nearly 25% of ocean life and provide food for billions of people.However, like many other species,this amazing ecosystem(生态系统)is in danger of dying out!
There are two main reasons for the destruction—the rising carbon dioxide levels caused by global vdarming as well as human influences like bottom operation.While not much can be done about the former,the loss caused by the latter can be reduced.
Bottom operation involves dropping nets to the ocean bed and then dragging them up when filled with fish.This action damaged the ocean floor,causing the coral branches to separate from the reefs.While that is very discouraging,the good news is that if these branches are found quickly,they can be saved.At present,that work is being performed by volunteer divers. But the method has
19
only limited success because they cannot stay long underwater, nor reach depths of over 200 meters where some of the deep-sea coral grows.
However,this is not the case for Coralbots—mthe robots that can constantly seek out broken branches.A team of ‘coralbots’,each individually working to simple rulesl will piece together’ damaged bits of coral, allowing them to regrow. They are programmed to be able to distinguish between other things and the coral.The robots work together in groups,similar to bees.If one coralbot is damaged then the others will still be able to complete the task.
Dr Lea-Anne Henry said:“The project of using coralbots offers us the possibility to restore(修复)the function of reefs.It is in the final stage of testing.Once ready, the researchers hope to build hundreds of them and use them effectively in the waters off Scotland and then hopefully in the oceans across the world.”
24.Which of the following is a cause of the danger that coral reefs are facing?
A.The appearance of new creatures.
B.The seriously polluted sea water.
C.The activities of volunteer divers.
D.Human activities like bottom operation.
25.Compared with volunteer divers,coralbots ______________.
A.can stay longer underwater B.must work as bees do
C.can distinguish what is coral D.can never be damaged
26.What does the underlined word“them”in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Coralbots. B.Broken branches.
C.working bees. D.Bits of coral.
27.We can infer from the passage that _______________.
A.bottom operation has affected most underwater creatures
B.broken branches of coral can regrow if saved in time
C.hundreds of the coralbots have worked well in the oceans
D.with the coralbots all damaged coral reefs can be restored

Film director James Cameron first became interested in sea exploration when he was a little boy.His love for the ocean grew after he made the 1989 undersea adventure film The Abyss and the 1997 blockbuster Titanic,one of the most successful movies of all time.Following that big success,James Cameron decided to put his film career on hold to become an explorer.
In 2012,James Cameron made a journey to the deepest spot in the Mariana Trench,known as Challenger Deep.And now the great journey has been made into a documentary film,named James Cameron’s Deep-sea Challenger 3D.
In James Cameron’s fantasy films,such as Avatar and The Abyss,the unexplored areas are decorated in colors and full of danger.But on his dive into Challenger Deep,the reality proved far different:white, deserted and dull.

Cameron captured(获取)the moon-like landscape of the deep sea and documented the sea creatures he observed in the ocean.
James Cameron’s Deep—sea Challenger 3D tells the story of Cameron’ s journey.It is a film about deternlination,danger and the ocean’S greatest depths.The movie shows a unique insight into Cameron’s world when he makes his dream reality and makes history by becoming the first person to travel alone to the deepest point on the planet.
