Many students are on the sports field take part in all kinds of sports. A ball game is going on among Class One and Class Two and no one knows who of them will win in the end. Do you see the student over there? Some young ones are practising the highly jump. One of them is a best high jumper in our school.

Their teacher is telling themselves how throw the spear. Our students love sports and they want to keep fit so as to serve for the people.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有多余选项。

1.The goal here is to limit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, which are closely associated to the big problem of global-warming.

Strategy 1: Bring your own cup to Starbucks

You’ll get a 10 cent discount, and it’s one less paper cup to end up in a landfill. While you’re there, pick up some free bags of spent coffee grounds to use as ‘‘green’’ fertilizer in your garden.

The payoff:    2.

Strategy2: Turn off your computer

When in standby mode, your PC is still using energy.    3.

The payoff: Turning off a monitor for 40 hours a week may only save $ 5 a month, but it reduces CO2 by 750 pounds

Strategy 3: Reuse plastic bags

Instead of throwing away 100 billion plastic bags a year, try and get a second, third, or tenth use out of them. Better yet, next time you shop, try a reusable bag.

The payoff:     4.The amount of oil it would take to make just 14 plastic bags would run your car for one mile.

Strategy4: Use recycled paper in the bathroom

Most of the toilet paper we use is made from trees found in forests previously untouched by humans.

The payoff: If every household replaced one roll of toilet paper with a recycled one, 424000 trees would still be standing. Look for eco paper towels too.

Strategy5: Buy energy-efficient appliances（电器）

Replace the old fridge with an Energy Star appliance and you’ll use 15 percent less energy.     5.

The payoff: If we all used one Energy Star appliance at home, it would be like planting 1. 7 million acres of new trees.

A. You can be proud of yourselves, even if you can only make one or two of these green changes.

B. Adding green to your garden is beautiful and earth-pleasing.

C. It might be a little expensive to buy, but you’ll save money on your electricity bills and help the environment.

D. In fact, 75 percent of electricity used in your home comes from electronics that are turned off.

E. You’re reducing pollution.

F. The store won’t create more waste when they throw away a cup.

G. Just one tree will help make cleaner air and save the environment from 5000 pounds of hot carbon dioxide each year.

Research on the human brain has been attracting more and more scientists in recent years, just like the booming hi-tech industry. One of the latest research topics is how to change the human brain or combine the computer and the human brain, i.e. to transplant a chip into a human brain. This idea may make everyone’s dream come true. If we compare a human brain to a hard disc, what the scientists are doing is to enlarge the capacity of the hard disc. For the time being, there are some difficulties in such transplant experiments, but scientists never give up.

Experiments have started on animals. In 1996, a transplant experiment performed at the Defense and Military Physiology Research Institute in the U.S. turned a bear into a dolphin.

The dolphin was named Ted, and the bear was named Tallin. Using the most advanced technology available, deep and detailed images were made of the memory area in Ted’s brain containing information about swimming by the scientists. They obtained a series of useful information, the signals transferred by the nervous system. Such information was saved into a button-sized chip, which was then transplanted into the action memory area in Tallin’s brain. The information saved on the chip was released by means of electric power.

Recently, another comprehensive memory transplant was performed at the Motor Nerve Research Institute of the University of California. The comprehensive memory transplanted in the experiment included actions, moods, logic, words, images, etc. The experiment involved an entire transplant of the memory area. This was the largest such experiment done so far.

The transplant was performed making a transfer from a dog named “Genius” to a dog named “Idiot”. “Genius” could understand and follow up to 100 gestures and orders made by its master. It was a real genius in memorizing. “Idiot” was the younger brother of “Genius”. It had no contact with people at all since its birth. It became an animal with nothing in its brain, without any memory.

The operation was a complete success. When the two dogs woke up, “Idiot” had grasped all the abilities “Genius” possessed; it was good at memorizing and sensible. It could follow every gesture and any command given by its master. But “Genius” gave no response to its master, and in fact did not recognize him at all.

1.The purpose of the experiment is ________.

A. to combine the computer and the human brain    

B. to make bear swim

C. to make some stupid dog turn clever           

D. to enlarge the capacity of human brain

2.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. The scientists transferred a button-sized chip with useful information in Tallin’s brain.

B. The first comprehensive memory transplant was performed at the Motor Nerve Research University.

C. The second experiment wasn’t an entire transplant of the memory area.

D. The Idiot was an animal with memory before brain experiment

3.What does the underlined word “success” refer to?

A. The two dogs woke up.               

B. They were both good at memorizing.

C. The Idiot grasped all the abilities of Genius.

D. The Genius grasped all the abilities of Idiot.

4.According to the text, we can infer ________.

A. a person can know more after the experiment

B. a bear can swim after being transferred a chip with related useful information

C. a dog can become clever after entire transplant of the memory area

D. it is really good for animals to have been involved in the transplant experiment
