He was only three when he flooded the kitchen. His mother, Angela Brown, is in despair. She is very busy looking after her new baby, a little girl called Laura, as well as Daniel. She tom us, "Daniel is so full of curiosity." At that moment, we hear a huge crash and then silence. We go upstairs and find Daniel crawling out of a wardrobe(衣橱) he has pulled over onto the floor, with a book in his hand. "It's for you, Mum," he says and looks up at his mum and smiles. Seven-year-old Daniel has a lovely face. He has golden hair, big brown eyes, and a friendly smile. I have to admit that Daniel doesn't look likes naughty boy. Angela told me all about it. "Once I found him as he was about to put Jasper in the washing machine." Jasper, she explained, is the Brown's dog. "When I asked him why, he said that he thought Jasper has dirty !

Yet sometimes people themselves create barriers (障碍) to transportation and communication. In mine countries, laws stop people from moving freely from place to place. Over the centuries, many groups of people have been denied the freedom to travel because of their race, religion, or nationality. In the Middle Ages, for example, Jews were often forbidden to move about freely within certain cities. South Africa's government used to require black Africans to carry passes when they travel within the country. Some governments all citizens to carry identification papers and to report to government officials whenever they move. Countries set up customs posts at their borders. Foreign travellers must go through a customs inspection before they are allowed to travel in the country. Usually travellers have to carry special papers such as passports and visas (签证). Some countries even limit the number of visitors to their country each year. Others allow tourists to visit only certain areas of the country, or they may require that travellers be with an official guide at all times during their stay. Many of those barriers to travel also act as barriers to communication. When two governments disagree with each other on important matters, they usually do not want their citizens to exchange news or ideas freely. Countries often try to keep military or industrial information secret. Today, people have the ability to travel, to communicate and to transport goods more quickly and easily than ever before. Natural larders that were difficult or dangerous to cross a hundred years ago can now be crossed easily. The barriers that people themselves make are not so easy to overcome. But in spite of all the different kinds of barriers, people continue to enjoy trued and the exchange of goods and ideas. 78.The examples in Paragraph 2 are used to tell the leaders that _________.

Progress of Human Society (C) PEOPLE NOBLE SMUGGLER This Thursday, Irena Sendler will he honoured for her work as a smuggler(偷运者). During World War II, the Polish social worker smuggled nearly 2,500 Jewish children out of the Warsaw ghetto (聚居区). She gave them new identities, found them safe places with good-hearted Christians, and kept the children's real names buried in jars in her neighbours' gardens. (The play', Life in a Jar, based on her story, is being performed. ) At 93, Sendler lives in a Warsaw nursing home and is too weak to travel to Washington D. C., to receive the 2003 Jan Karski Award for Valor and Compassion from the American Center of Polish Culture. One of the children she saved will accept the award for her. You risked your life to save the children. I was taught by my father that when someone is drowning, you don't ask if they can swim, you just jump in and help. During the war, everyone was drowning, hut mostly the Jewish children. How did you persuade parents to give up their children? I had to answer honestly that I didn't even know if we would get the guards.What was the most frightening moment? When I saw a priest (牧师) in charge of an orphanage for Jewish children in the ghetto walk with them out to be. killed. The children were in their best Sunday suits. The priest was killed with them. How did you get the children to behave as you smuggled them out? I told the older children to act as if they were sick and sometimes gave the younger ones a sleeping pill. They were told to remember their new names. I also told the children to tell guards they had only been visiting a servant in the ghetto and were going back to their real homes outside. Did you tell your own two children what you did? I never told them. Only when my daughter went to Israel did she learn all about me. I thought it was only normal to do so. And it was a very painful subject. It was always on my mind that I couldn't do more. ---- Samantha Levine 82. We can learn from the passage that Irena Sendler _______.
