ANew Zealandcouncil has announced a month-long road closure in order to allow a sea lion and her pup to reach the ocean safely.

John Wilson Ocean Drive in Dunedin will be closed after the New Zealand sea lions made their home at a nearby golf course and started "regularly crossing the road to get to the beach," according to a Facebook post from Dunedin City Council.

"You can still visit the area on foot or by bicycle, but please give the sea lions lots of space," continued the post.

"We're lucky to have sea lions on our coastline and we need to share the space with them,as this is what makes our coastline so unique!" wrote the course on Facebook.

The council went on to explain thatNew Zealandsea lions are endangered, and are one of the world's rarest species of sea lion.

There are an estimated 12,000New Zealandsea lions left, according to the Department of Conservation. Under local law, anyone who kills a sea lion could face up to two years in prison or a fine of up to NZ$250,000(US$178,000).

Dear Jack,

I remember the moment— it truly hit me that your autism (自闭症) lasted forever. I had already mentally planned our trips up north with the boys. I was going to spend endless hours playing baseball with you— like Grandpa did with me.

When we said goodbye to kindergarten I knew it was real. I spent some time being sad. Now you are 8. You still have no words. We have never had one of those father-son moments I pictured when you were a baby. But I'm learning that's OK. I still have unbelievable things to offer as your dad, even if they weren't the things I originally expected.

You have taught me to be patient. You have taught me that it's OK to be different and to be sad when life doesn't go as planned. You have taught me that it is OK to talk about those feelings and fight for what is right. Stand up and say this is wrong, and encourage others to stand up for you and say the same.

My job on this earth is to create a world for you and other kids like you. Be the voice you don't have, and build the kind of community which I want to see you grow up in. I used to shy away from contacting people with disabilities or just not consider them. Before you were born, I was so caught up in my own world that I probably wouldn't have even noticed. Now, I see things differently. I notice. You did that for me. And hope my example will do that for others.

Your mom and I have spent 8 years trying to find your voice. And honestly, we don't know if we ever will. I promise you I will spend my life keeping you safe and making this world better for you.

12. To whom is the text written?

A. The author's son.

B. The author's wife.

C. The author's father.

D. The author's friend.

13. What can be learned about the author?

A. He's at a loss what to do to help Jack.

B. He's to blame for Jack s present condition.

C. He has changed his attitude to the disabled.

D. He hasn't accepted the reality up to now.

14. How does the author sound in the text?

A. Sympathetic.

B. Caring.

C. Regretful.

D. Indifferent.

15. In which section of a magazine may this text appear?

A. Science.
