This was what Samuel would spend years fighting against.The Orang Asli community has struggled with poverty, melting into society, and losing their own identity and culture d
10、ue to others disregard of it. Samuel saw that the main barrier in teaching these children was the attitude on the part of many teachers that the native children were not worth their efforts. It was thought that whatever was taught would make no difference, so nobody bothered to try. The children the

At the heart of this preservation and revival （复兴）of Chinese art history is senior conservation Qiu Jinxian.Joanna Kosek, head of Pictorial Art Conservation at the British Museum, told the Times Publications that Qiu is considered one of the museums most
18、priceless treasures. We let the treasure treat the treasure, Kosek said.In 1987, Qiu was introduced to Mrs. Jessica Rawson, director of the British Museum. At the time there were no conservators specializing in ancient Chinese art at the British Museum. The large collection of Chinese ancient painti
19、ngs and cultural relics in the museum was mainly repared by Japanese and British methods and materials. As these methods were not suitable for Chinese paintings, the art collection was kept in storage for a long time instead of on public display.Just before Christmas in 1987, Qiu Jinxian had her fir
20、st appointment at the British Museum. She was asked to repair an ancient scroll （卷轴）by Fu Baoshi, which had been badly damaged by fire. Qius methods, which included washing with warm water to separate the glue in order to repair the paper, stunned people on the spot. Some of them even got out the ca

27、s of forest throughout town that add up to the same size, which is better for protecting species in and around town when you only have limited resources? This SLOSS debate-single large or several small has been confusing conservation biologists and land managers for long.Throughout the debate, both
28、sides have exchanged strong and convincing points. Some believe that a single large nature preserve is better. Mathematically, in the same area, one large circle has less land exposed to the edges than four small ones of the same area. And many species dont like edges. For example, some species such
29、 as mountain lions require a lot of space to reside, while others prefer central forested areas far from edges. If a nature preserve was split into many small patches, they would hardly attract these species to settle down. In order to protect rare species, it is necessary to have a larger preserve.
30、Hang on. What if one has to purchase a large area of land in places that are highly urbanized? Despite the incredible cost, it might even be impossible to find a huge amount of land there. In that case, it is wise to have a network of several small nature preserves. This set-up may make the preserve
31、s easier to manage. Some land with sensitive properties could be enclosed by fences, while other parts could be transformed into walking trails. Additionally, having several small preserves means more biological diversity. Different species exist in different varieties of land. It is also much easie
32、r to protect some species from disturbances like wildfires, which could destroy everything.The SLOSS debate may not simply end with an absolute answer. However, it is very meaningful to have debates like SLOSS as it gives both scientists and land managers the opportunity to discuss the best solution
33、 for protecting local wildlife, depending on the situation at hand.12.What does the SLOSS debate mainly focus on?A. Where to purchase land.B. What to do to protect forests.C. How to make use of resources.D. How to design nature preserves.13.Which of the following might be favored by mountain lions?A
34、. A small area with few species.B. A large area distant from edges.C. A central space exposed to edges.D. A small space with various species.14.What is one consequence of having several small preserves?A. More species move out.B. Land covers a larger area.C. Fences are commonly adopted.D. Wildfires
