A wild baby bison(野牛) at Yellowstone National Park had to be killed because of tourists.

The tourists thought that the baby bison looked cold. They put it in their car and drove to a park ranger(管理员) station.

A ranger described the action of the tourists as a “dangerous move” because adult bison can look after their babies very well and they will attack(攻击) to protect their young.

Park rangers took the animal from the car and set it free. But, sadly, the baby was refused by its family because it had the smell from humans.

Yellowstone National Park explained on Facebook that the smell from people can cause parent animals to refuse to accept their young. The park tried again and again to make the baby bison live with his parents. After several times they had to give up.

The tourists were fined(罚款) $110 for touching park wildlife. Park rules say that visitors to Yellowstone should stay at least 22 meters away from all wildlife, and at least 90 meters away from bears and wolves.

十、任务型阅读(每小题2分，共10分)

阅读下面一篇演讲(节选)，并根据文章后的要求答题。(请注意问题后的词数要求) Ladies and Gentlemen：

It gives me a great pleasure to join you for this important initiative(倡议) as the UN marks its 70th anniversary.

Education is very close in my heart. My father grew up in a very small village in China. In those days, not many villagers could read. So my father opened a night school to teach them how to read. With his help, many people learned to write their own names. As his daughter, I know what education means to the people, especially those without it.

Education is about women and the girls. It is important for girls to go to school because they will become their children's first teacher someday. But women still account for over half of the world's poor in population and 60% of adults who can't read. In China, Spring Bud Education Program has helped over 3 million girls go back to school.

Education is about equality. In poor countries and regions the number of school dropouts(辍学者)is astonishing. We call for more educational resources to these places.

Education is about the young people. Young people are the future. Education is important because it not only gives young people knowledge and skills but also helps them become responsible citizens.

I was once asked about my Chinese dream. I said, “I hope all children especially girls can have access to good education.” This is my Chinese dream. Ibelieveonedayeducationfirstwillnolongerbeadream. It will be a reality enjoyed by every young woman on this planet. Thank you very much.
