Jack London had a very hardly life. He born in San Francisco on January 12, 1876. In 1893 he become a sailor. For the next four years he fought and working his way around the world. He begged his food from door to door. When that he was twenty-one he decided to try and get an education, but before a few months he left school and went off to take part in the Klondyke Gold Rush on 1897. She hiked in north western Canada, and came back empty-handed. Two years late he sold his first story. From that time on he made his livings by writing.
A rainfores（雨林）is an area covered by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely dipping below 16℃.Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in（吸收） heat from the sun and adjust （调节）the climate. Without the forest cover, these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere，warming the rest of the world .Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns, potentially causing certain natural disasters（灾害） all over the world.
In the past hundred years, humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources (资源): land for crops, wood for paper and other products, land for raising farm animals. This action affects the environment as a whole. For example，a lot of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)in the air comes from burning the rainforests. People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit（受益）.
There are two main reasons for this. Firstly, when people cut down trees, generally they can only use the land for a year or two. Secondly, cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now, but in the long run （长远看）it actually reduces the world’ s wood supply.
Rainforests are often called the world’s drug store. More than 25% of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. However, fewer than 1% of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value. It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in （在于）the world’s shrinking rainforests.

|
A．We will lose much more than we can gain. |
|
B．Humans have begun destroying rainforests. |
|
C．People have a strong desire for resources. |
|
D．Much carbon dioxide comes from burning rainforests. |
3..What might be the best title for the text?

Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.
Recite and repeat in conversation（谈话，交往）.
When you hear a person’s name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial（矫揉造作的，不自然的）.
Ask the other person to recite and repeat.
You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone，ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort（努力） you’re making to learn their names.
Admit you don’t know.
Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say, “I’ m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again？”
Use associations（联络，联系）.
Link（联系） each person you meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example, you could make a mental note：“Vicki Cheng — tall, black hair.” To reinforce (加强) your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.
Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.
When meeting a group of people, concentrate on（集中精力） remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering everyone. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.
Go early.
Consider going early to conferences（会议）, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up（到场） on time. That’s fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others — an automatic （无意识的）review for you.

|
A．They will be moved. |

|
A．tell him the truth |

|
A．all their names |
B．a couple of names first |
|
C．just their last names |
D．as many names as possible |

|
A．Tips on an important social skill. |

|

People believe that climbing can do good to health. Where can you learn the skill of climbing then? If you think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how to climb, you’re wrong. Many Americans are learning to climb in city gyms(体育馆). Here，people are learning on special climbing walls. The climbing wall goes straight up and has small holding places for hands and feet.
How do people climb the wall? To climb，you need special shoes and a harness (保护带) around your chest to hold you. There are ropes(绳索)tied to your harness. The ropes hold you in place so that you don’t fall. A beginner’s wall is usually about 15 feet high, and you climb straight up. There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to. Sometimes it’s easy to see the next piece of metal. Sometimes, it’s not. The most difficult part is to control your fear. It’s normal for humans to be afraid of falling, so it’s difficult not to feel fear. But when you move away from the wall, the harness and the ropes hold you，and you begin to feel safe. You move slowly until you reach the top.
Climbing attracts people because it’s good exercise for almost everyone. You use your whole body, especially your arms and legs. This sport gives your body a complete workout. When you climb，both your mind and your body can become stronger.

My first job was at a local restaurant, where I worked for seven years and learned so many lessons, especially from a fellow 16 .
Helen was in her 30s and had extraordinary（非凡的） self-confidence, something I was really 17 . I looked up to Helen 18 she was doing what she loved— 19 people better. She always made everyone, customers（顾客） and co-workers（同事）, 20 and feel good.
Being a waitress changed my life. One of my 21 customers was Fred Hasbrook. He always ate an omelet（炒蛋）, and when I saw him _22 , I tried to have it on his table as soon as he sat down.
Thanks to the newfound confidence I 23 __from Helen, I dreamed of having my own __24 . But when I called my parents to ask for a loan（贷款）, they said, “We just don’t have the money.”
The next day, Fred saw me and asked, “What’s 25 ? You’re not smiling today.” I 26__my dream with him and said, “Fred, I know I can do more if somebody 27 just have faith in （信任）me.”
Before long he handed me checks 28 __$50,000—along with a note that I have to this day. It reads, “The only collateral（抵押品）on this loan is my trust（信任） in your 29 as a person. Good people with a dream should have 30 __to make that dream come true.”
I took the checks to Merrill Lynch, where the money was provided for me. I 31 __working at the restaurant, making 32 for the restaurant I would open. My plans soured（被破灭）, though, and I lost the 33 .
