Wait until fall, until the baby birds have flown away.” The tree didn’t seem like an urgent issue to me or my husband, but it was worrying our neighbor and she wanted it gone. So, with some unwillingness and a chainsaw(链锯), my husband and our sons headed to our neighbor’s house early Saturday morning. About an hour later, I got a phone call from my 14-year-old son. He spoke in a trembling voice, which made me worried. I grabbed my keys, expecting to be told to meet my husband and sons at the emergency room. But no, everyone was safe. My son said that birds’ nests had fallen out of the tree and some baby birds had been hurt. So, I grabbed an old towel and a laundry basket. I put the birds in the basket and headed for the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. The people there are not astounded to see worried people with laundry baskets containing injured animals. They sighed at my story—they had heard many stories like this. They knew exactly how to help these birds. I was relieved that the birds would be fine, but I was still upset they had been needlessly traumatized(使受精神创伤). A lesson from this experience is that we need to look at the whole picture. We must behave in ways that help meet needs without causing harm to others, Our efforts to move through our lives with more gentleness and care may make a big difference for someone, whether it’s a baby bird or a person. 1. Why did the author disagree with cutting down the tree at first? A. The tree was growing well. B. The tree caused her no trouble. C. The tree was home to some baby birds. D. The tree played a part in the ecosystem. 2. The author’s son spoke in a trembling voice because A. some little lives were hurt B. he worried about his father’s safety C. someone was sent to the hospital D. he was unwilling to cut down the tree 3. What does the underlined word “astounded” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Frightened. B. Shocked. C. Prepared. D. Relaxed. 4. What might be the best title for the text? A. Treat Each Life Equally B. Live in Harmony with Nature C. Give Our Neighbors a Hand in Time D. Help Others without Hurting Anyone 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B 4. D B The future of energy production is here and some of the materials used to supply the energy may surprise you! Companies have developed a way to tum plant wastes and other garbage into fuel. It has been called one of the most promising technologies in alternative energy. And the process is expected to become more common this year. The American-based company, Fiberight, is taking the lead in this new form of energy production. A great deal of garbage is sent to Fiberight’s test plant in Southern Virginia. Old vegetables, cardboard boxes and other wastes become something much more valuable through the work done at the factory. The garbage is loaded into a huge pressure cooker. The material that comes out of the cooker is mostly cellulose (纤维素)，a substance that can be made into sugar. The sugar can then be turned into ethanol (乙醇). This year, several other fuel production plants are expected to start making ethanol from the cellulose in plant materials. Madhu Khanna is an agricultural economist at the University of Illinois. She said, “Making cellulosic ethanol turned out to be harder than expected. We know how to do that in a lab. The main problem is doing that continuously and massively.” Ethanol production from cellulose has yet to meet expectations. However, this year could be the turning point. But Madhu Khanna explained, “Our cars may limit how much the industry can grow. Only a few models of automobiles can operate on high-ethanol fuel. Without more of them, there is only so much gas made from garbage that will sell.” 5. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The benefit of making fuel from garbage. B. The great importance of alternative energy. C. Fiberight’s way to turn wastes into ethanol. D. Fiberight’s influence on the American energy market. 6. Which of the following is the difficulty of making cellulosic ethanol? A. The high cost. B. The low productivity. C. The high pollution risk. D. The long-term mass production. 7. What does Madhu Khanna think of ethanol fuel made from cellulose? A. It is cheap for most people. B. It is only suitable for cars. C. It is hard to be used widely at present. D. It is more environmentally friendly. 【答案】5. C 6. D 7. C C In October, temperatures across China begin to drop. Do you experience a mood shift as it turns to winter? Many people do. For about one in 20 people in the northern half of the United States, cooling temperatures and shorter, darker days may signal the onset of seasonal affective disorder(季节性 情绪失调), or SAD, a type of depression that typically arrives in the fall or winter, The New York Times reported. Not every mild blue feeling in winter is SAD. SAD symptoms(症状) make it difficult for people to function. It tends to start with an increased appetite for foods like French fries or ice cream, the eagerness to sleep longer hours, difficulty getting up in the morning and feeling wiped out at work, according to Wal
