The National Park service
America's national parks are like old friends。You may not so e them for years at a time。but just knowing they're out there makes you feel better.Hearing the names of these famous old friends-Yosemite,Yellowstone,Grand Canyon-revives memories of visits past and promotes dreams of those still to come.
From Acadia to Zion。369 national parks are part of a continually evolving system. Ancient fossil(化石的)beds,Revolutionary War battlefields,magnificent mountain ranges,and monuments to heroic men and women who molded this country are all a part of our National Park System(NPS).The care and preservation for future generations of these special places is entrusted(托管)to the National Park Service.Uniformed Rangers,the most visible representatives of the Service,not only offer park visitors a friendly wave,a helpful answer or a thought-provoking history lesson,but also are skilled rescuers,firefighters,and dedicated resource protection professionals(专业人员).The National Park Service ranks also include architects,historians,archaeologists,biologists,and a host of other expels who preserve and protect everything from George Washington's teeth to Thomas Edison's wax recordings.
Modern society has brought the National Park Service both massive challenges and enormous opportunities.Satellite and computer technologies are expanding the
educational possibilities of a national park beyond its physical boundaries.Cities struggling to revive their urban cores are turning to the Park Service for expert assistance to preserve their cultural heritage, create pocket parks and green spaces, and re-energize local economies. Growing communities thirsty for recreationally outets are also working with the NPS to turn abandoned railroad tracks into bike and hiking trails, as well as giving unused federal property new life as recreation centers.
To help meet these challenges and take advantage of these opportunities the National Park Service has formed partnerships-some dating back 100 years, some only months old-with other agencies, state and local governments, corporations, American Indian tribes and Alaska Natives, Park Fiends groups, cooperating associations, private organizations and commonly groups.

单项选择题 根据短文回答 41~45 题。 More Than a Ride to School The National Education Association claims, 'The school bus is a mirror of the community,' They further add that, unfortunately, what appears on the exterior (外部)does not always reflect the reality of a chosen community. They are right, and sometimes it reflects more! Just ask Liesl Denson. Riding the school bus has been more than a ride to school for Liesl.Bruce Hardy, school bus driver for Althouse Bus Company has been Liesl's bus river since kindergarten. Last year when Liesl's family moved to Parkesburg, knowing her bus went by her new residence, she requested to ride the same bus.This year Liesl is a senior and will enjoy her last year riding the bus. She says, 'It's been a great ride so far! My bus driver is so coo and has always been a good friend and a good listener. Sometimes when you're a child adults do not think that what you have to say is important. Mr. Hardy always listens to what you have to say and makes you feel important.' Her friends Ashley Batista and Amanda Wolfe agree.Bruce Hardy has been making Octorara students feel special since 1975. This year he will celebrate 30 years working for Althouse Bus Transportation. Company President, Larry Althouse acknowledges Bruce Hardy's outstanding record. 'You do not come by employees like Bruce these days; he has never missed a day of work and has a perfect driving record. Recognized in 2000 by the Pennsylvania School Bus Association for driving 350,000 accident free miles, Hardy's reputation is made further evident through the relationships he has made with the students that ride his bus.'Althouse further added, 'Althouse Bus Transportation was established 70 years ago and has been providing quality transportation ever since. My grandfather started the business with one bus. Althouse Bus Transportation is delighted to have the opportunity to bring distinctive and safe service to our local school and community and looks forward to continuing to provide quality service for many more years to come.'Three generations of business is not all the company has enjoyed. Thanks to drivers like Bruce Hardy, they have been building relationships through generations. Liesl's mother Carol also enjoys fond memories of riding Bruce Hardy's bus to the Octorara School District. 第 41 题 The word 'mirror' in the first line could be best replaced by( ).A.'vehicle'B.'device'C.'company'D.'reflection'
