Here are four influential ones. ●John Muir(1838~1914) His lifelong love for hiking began when he hiked to the Gulf of Mexico in 1867. Muir spent much of his adult life wandering in—and fighting to preserve-the wilderness of the West? especially California. His tireless efforts led to the creation of Yosemite National Park? Sequoia National Park, and millions of other conservation areas. ●Rachel Carson( 1907 —1964) Born in rural Pennsylvania, Rachel Carson went on to study biology at Johns Hopkins University. After working for the US Fish and Wildlife Service, Carson published “The Sea Around Us” and other books. Her most famous work, however, was 1962's "Silent Spring”, in which she described the harmful environmental impacts of pesticides(杀虫剂）.After Carson's observations were proven correct, pesticides like DDT were banned. ●Wangari Maathai( 1940—2011) Wangari Maathai was from Kenya. After studying biology in the US, she returned to her home country to begin a career in environmental activism. Maathai founded the Green Belt Movement, which, by the early 21st century, had already planted some 30 million trees? provided jobs, and secured firewood for rural communities. In 2004, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize while continuing to fight for the planet. ●David Brower(1912—2000) David Brower was associated with wilderness preservation. He became the Sierra Club's first executive director in 1952, then, over the next 17 years, the club membership grew from 2,000 to 77,000. It won many environmental victories under his leadership. After leaving the club, he went on to found other environmental groups like Friends of the Earth, and the Earth Island Institute. 21. Which environmentalist is a writer? A. John Muir. B.

I used to listen to the stories my father would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1970s, with great interest. My big moment finally came in the summer of 1998 when I was able to accompany my parents to Europe, where my father was to attend a meeting. We planned to travel to Belgium, Netherlands and West Germany. I have clear memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going abroad. I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience them first hand? during the flight to Frankfurt. We flew business class and even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew(工作人员). The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable? even for someone like me, who is especially afraid of flying. After spending almost two weeks in Europe , we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport for our return. What a journey that was! All along the Rhine ( 莱茵河), it was simply an unforgettable experience. I had a sad feeling on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation, but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again, with the quality of their service. Being the first airline to take me abroad, Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart. Even today? I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline. Flying, in general, for me, has always been a terrible and painful experience. Flying on Lufthansa? however, is something I always have and will always look forward to. 24. What does the author's big moment refer to? A. Travelling abroad. B. Attending a meeting. C. Listening to a story. D. Accompanying his parents. 25. What is the author's attitude towards Lufthansa crew's service? A. Depressed. B. Satisfied. C. Doubtful. D. Critical. 26.

C. An important flight travel. D. Unforgettable experiences on Lufthansa. C A team from the University of Tokyo just published a new study that says that writing on paper is actually the best for your mind. "Paper is more advanced and useful compared to electronic records because paper contains more one-of-a-kind information for stronger memory recall," said Professor Kuniyoshi L. Sakai, a neuroscientist at the University of Tokyo and author in the study. Most people like smartphones or tablets because they seem to make everyday tasks easier, but after gathering 48 volunteers between the ages of 18 and 29 for the study, the researchers found that those who wrote on paper to finish note-taking tasks completed these
