Renaissance is a French word.It means ‘rebirth’．It’s a strange name for a period of history.What was it that was ‘reborn’ during the Renaissance?
To answer this question, we need to look back at the time of the Roman Empire.At this time Roman artists, scientists and writers influenced by Greek ideas were the world’s most advanced.They had become skilled observers of the natural world around them, and had become experts in studying animals, plants, the human body or the stars and planets.They wrote down their ideas about what they saw, and based their theories about the world on their observations.
During the fourth and fifth centuries the Roman Empire slowly broke down.Many of the Romans’ art and sculptures were destroyed and some manuscripts (原稿) were lost as well.But most importantly, some of the ancient attitudes were lost.A questioning approach to the world was replaced by an unquestioning one.
B．You are right
D．Sorry，that’s no excuse
B．that
C．when
D．how
B．due D．bound
Why did this happen? One reason was to do with the influence of the Christian Church.Through the thousand years follow the fall of the Roman Empire, the Church controlled many aspects of life including education and learning.The Church ran all the universities and thought that the aim of a university should be to teach old ideas more clearly, not to introduce new ones.The scholars in the universities were expected to study God and heaven from the Bible and ancient books, rather than the world around them.
Take medicine, for example.The main textbook for doctors had been written by a Greek doctor called Galen more than a thousand years earlier.But when Roger Bacon, a thirteenth－century priest (牧师), said that a new approach to medicine was needed—doctors should do their own original research instead of reading writers from the past such as Galen—the Church put him in prison.
By the time of the fourteenth century, however, some parts of the Christian Church were becoming less strict about their ideas and there was a new state of mind among artists, doctors and scientists.People wanted to find out more about the world by studying it.This attitude of investigation had been common in classical scholars, and it was ‘reborn’ during the Renaissance.

Efforts to stop illegal trade of endangered animals are gaining strength in some areas in Asia，including Southeast Asia.But now，researchers must decide what to do with the thousands of animals rescued every year，because there is little space for them.They found that these rescued animals need more space in Asia according to their research.
This problem is obvious at the Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Center，not far from Phnom Penh，the capital of Cambodia.Gibbons—a kind of ape—call across the protected forest.Their voices sometimes can be heard joining with those of rare birds and other endangered animals.Many of the animals arrived at the rescue center after being seized by Cambodia’s Wildlife Rapid Rescue Team.The team includes Cambodian government officials and researchers.Every year the team rescues hundreds of endangered animals and puts them into the center.But there has been little space for them already.
The Phnom Tamao Rescue Center is home to about 100 sun bears.That is the largest population of sun bears in captivity.A number of moon bears also live there.One researcher says the whole protected area would support only a single bear in the wild.But researchers say they have to put two kinds of bears together because there is no other places for them to be protected.
