    The situation of the world's plants is not good. One fifth of the kinds of plants are in danger of disappearing, according to a report.

"Plants are very vital to human beings, " said Kathy Willis, who led the new report. "Plants provide us with everything-food, fuel, medicine, and they are very important for our climate controlling. Without plants we would not be here. "

The good news is that deforestation rates(森林砍伐率) around the world have dropped largely since the 1950s. However, this report on the health of plants around the world shows that there is much more to be done.

The report predicts that there are now 390, 900 kinds of plants. And about 21 percent of those plants are in danger of disappearing. "The good side is that we're still discovering lots of new plants, about 2, 000 each year, " said Dr. Willis. "The bad side is that we've seen a huge change in land cover, mainly caused by cultural activity, with a little bit of climate change in there as well."

Human activity has a great effect on the danger of plants disappearing. As humans cut down forests to make room for agriculture(农业), and towns and cities, biodiversity(生物多样性) is lost. This could not only affect our own food supply directly, but also it could affect the food web.

1.What does the underlined word "vital" in paragraph 2 probably mean? ______

A.Useless. B.Friendly. C.Equal. D.Important.

2.Which of the following does Dr. Willis agree with? ______

A.New plants are more than ever before.

B.About half the plants will disappear soon.

C.Many new plants are found every year.

D.Plants mustn't be used to produce medicine.

3.What do we learn from the third paragraph? ______

A.We have made little progress. B.There is a long way for us to go.

C.We have achieved our goal. D.There will be nothing we can do.

4.What is the best title for the text? ______

A.Biodiversity Being Lost B.Human Social Activity

C.Environment Protection D.Nature Climate Change

    Today's personal computers are very different from the huge machines that were born during World War II-and the difference isn't only in their size. By the 1970s, these early PCs could not perform many of the tasks that today's computers can. Users could only do mathematical calculations(数学计算) and play simple games. Today PCs are used in many different kinds of ways. At home and at work, we use our PCs to do almost everything. It is nearly impossible to imagine modern life without them.

The earliest computers were not "personal" in any way: They were large and expensive, and they required a team of engineers and other experts to keep them running. One of the first and most famous of these, the Electronic Numerical Integrator Analyzer and Computer (ENIAC),  was built at the University of Pennsylvania. ENIAC cost 500, 000, weighed 30 tons and took up nearly 2, 000 square feet of floor space.

ENIAC and other early computers proved that the machines were worth so much money, space and manpower they needed. For example, ENIAC could solve in 30 seconds a problem that could take a team of human "computers" 12 hours to complete. At the same time, new technologies were making it possible to build smaller computers.

But one of the most important of the inventions that make way for the PC revolution was the microprocessor(微处理器). Microprocessors were the size of a nail. They could run the computer's programs, remember information and manage data(数据) all by themselves.

These new ideas made it cheaper and easier to produce computers than ever before. As a result, the smaller, cheaper "microcomputer"-soon known as the "personal computer"-was born. Today, portable computers, smart phones and ipads allow us to have a PC with us wherever we go.

1.What's mainly talked about in the first paragraph? ______

A.An even more relaxing lifestyle without PCs.

B.PCs can be made full use of to do everything.

C.Differences between modern and early PCs.

D.The difficult situation of PCs being born.

2.What do we know about the earliest computers? ______

A.It was easy to control them. B.They took up too much room.

C.Nobody could afford one. D.They were built by universities.

3.Why does the writer take ENIAC for example? ______

A.To predict high technology will make computers smaller.

B.To show computers are really smarter than human beings.

C.To explain why computers could deal with any problem.

D.To prove spending money on early computers was meaningful.

4.Which of the following makes the biggest contribution to microcomputers? ______

A.Microprocessors. B.Programs. C.Money. D.Imagination.

    Michael Shirazi is a 67-year-old American who has been feeding more than 150 homeless cats in Shanghai for the past eight years. Every night, he leaves his home at 11:00 pm and takes 20 kilos of cat food to the street feeding the homeless cats. So he is called by people "the king of homeless cats".

Eight years ago, Michael came to Shanghai for his family's business. At that time, he was a successful businessman.

But unfortunately, his wife left him because he no longer managed his family business and spent nearly 10, 000 yuan a month on cat food.

Michael said: "My experience makes me feel that people are made of love. We must return our love to the world so that we can find our inner(内心的) peace." This is the happiness he gets every night when he's on his way to feeding food: feeling loved and needed.
