Over millions of years， African penguins have developed a keen sense of where to find food． Once they're old enough， they set off from the shores on which they were hatched（孵化） for the first time and swim long distances in search of tasty fish like anchovies and sardines． But they don't search directly for the fish themselves． When African penguins head out to sea， they look for areas with low surface temperatures and high chlorophyll（叶绿素）． Because those conditions signal the presence of algae（藻类）． And lots of algae means lots of plankton（浮游动物）， which in turn means lots of their favorite fish． Well， that's what it used to mean． Climate change plus overfishing have made the penguin feeding grounds a mirage（海市蜃楼）． The habitat is indeed plankton﹣rich， but now it's fish﹣poor． Researchers call this an "ecological trap．" "It's a situation where you have a signal that previously pointed an animal towards good﹣quality habitat． That habitat has been changed， usually by human pressures． The signal stays， but the quality in the environment gets worse．" Richard Sherley， a zoologist at the University of Exeter and his team used satellite imaging to track the African penguins from eight sites along southern Africa． Historically， the birds benefited from tons of fish off the coasts of Angola， Namibia and western South Africa， but now they're going hungry． "I was really hoping we'd see them going east， and finding areas which the fish had moved to but it ends up being quite a sad story for the penguins．" said Richard． The researchers calculate that by falling into this ecological trap， African penguin populations on South Africa's Western Cape have declined by around 80 percent． Some research groups are exploring the idea of moving them to a place where they can't get trapped， like the Eastern Cape． But Sherley thinks that a solution in the long run means making and carrying out rules to create more sustainable（可持续的） fishing industry， which needs public support． 1.How do penguins find their food？ A. They discover fish with their keen sense． B. They swim long distances directly for fish． C. They make signals to each other when finding fish． D. They look for warmer and greener areas． 2.What is an ecological trap for the African penguins？ A. A trap set to catch penguins． B. A good fish habitat with few fish． C. A habitat rich in plankton． D. A mirage on the sea． 3.What can be done to help the penguins in the long run？ A. Move the penguins to other places． B. Create nature reserves for penguins． C. Keep a balanced fishing industry． D. Increase the population of penguins． 4.What is the main idea of the passage？ A. African penguins are losing their habitats． B. African penguins are falling into ecological traps． C. A sustainable development is needed． D. African penguin populations have declined．

They remind me of my days in senior high school which I joined in the military training after I entered senior high school.

In short, learning to regard the challenges of life as the stepping stone to future success and make the best of them.

Culture means any human behavior that is learned in human society. All of the meaningful parts of a culture are passed on to different generations through tradition or social learning. 1.Culture exists in agricultural as well as industrialized societies. Culture is necessary for the survival and existence of human beings as human beings. Practically everything humans know, think, value, feel, and do is learned through taking part in a sociocultural system. 2. Here is one of the cases of children growing up apart from human society. In the province of Midnapore in India, the director of a children’s home was told by local villagers that there were “ghosts” in the forest. Upon looking into the case, the director found that two children, one about eight years old and the other about six years old, appeared to have been living with a group of wolves in the forest. 3. In his diary, the director describes his first view of Kamala (as the older child was named) and Amala (the name given to the younger child): Kamala was a terrible-looking being, the head, a big ball of something covering the shoulders. 4.Their eyes were bright and sharp, unlike human eyes. They were very fond of raw meat and raw milk. Gradually, as they got stronger, they began going on all fours, and afterwards began to run on all fours, just like squirrels. Children learn human language in the same way they learn other kinds of human behavior--by taking part in a cultural community. 5.. A. From this viewpoint, all human groups have a culture. B. These children were the ghosts described by the local people. C. This statement is well supported by some well-written cases. D. Human beings can only develop human abilities by the local people. E. Culture refers only to the high art and classical music of a particular society. F. Close at its heels there came another terrible creature exactly like the first, but smaller in size. G. They learn a certain human languages as well as certain kinds of human behavior through their membership in a certain cultural community.
Smoking is harmful. But as soon as you quit the habit, everything will be OK, right? Wrong. New research has found that even if you give up smoking, the damage it has done to your genes will stay there for a much longer time. In the research, a team of US scientists studied the blood of 16,000 people. Among them, some were smokers, some used to smoke, and the rest were non-smokers. Scientists compared their genes and found that more than 7,000 genes of smokers had changed--a number that is one-third of known human genes. According to NBC News, both heart disease and cancer are caused by genetic changes. Some people may have had the changes when they were born, but most people get them in their day-to-day lives while doing things like smoking. When you stop smoking, a lot of these genes will return to normal within five years. This means your body is trying to heal (治愈) itself of the harmful effects of smoking. But the changes in some of the genes stay for longer. They can stay for as long as 30 years, It’s almost like leaving a footprint on wet cement (水泥)----it will always be there, even when you’ve walked away and when the cement becomes dry. Although the study results may make people unhappy, there is a bright side: the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by smoking or find ways to tell which people have heart disease or cancer risks. 1.The function of Paragraph 1 is to_________ . A. introduce the topic of the passage B. give an example C. make an argument D. show the main idea of the passage 2.Most genetic changes happen because of___________ . A. people’s condition at birth B. environmental pollution C. people’s bad living habit D. heart disease and cancer 3.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to__________ . A. the footprint B. the cement C. the harmful effect D. the genetic change 4.Which of the following statements is true? A. The findings are the fruit of more than three years’ research. B. The findings have prevented more people from starting smoking C. The findings offer evidence that a damaged gene can heal itself. D. The findings help to find cures for genetic damage caused by smoking.
Crossing your legs is an extremely common habit; most people don't even notice that they're doing it when they sit down. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of. A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason for this is that the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart and that crossing one leg over the other increases resistance(阻力), making it even harder for the blood to circulate. This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart. You won't feel any immediate effects, but repeated, drawn-out increases in blood pressure can cause long-term health problems. So, planning to sit for a long period of time? Don't keep your legs crossed. Crossing your legs at the knee can also cause pressure on the major nerve in your leg that passes just below your knee and along the outside of your leg, explains Richard Graves, a medical expert. This pressure can cause numbness and temporary paralysis (麻痹) of some of the muscles in your foot and leg, preventing you from being able to raise your ankle—what we know as that “pins and needles” sensation. While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage. So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run. 1.What can we learn about crossing one's legs? A. It is a very bad social habit. B. It is usually practiced on purpose. C. It can do harm to people's health. D. It can make others feel uncomfortable. 2.According to the study, sitting with your legs crossed can______. A. affect your blood pressure B. resist gravity effectively C. lead to heart attacks easily D. improve the function of legs 3.In the third paragraph "pins and needles" probably means______. A. slight sharp pains B. being a little nervous C. serious muscle injuries D. being highly flexible 4.What is the main purpose of the text? A. To compare common habits. B. To give readers some advice. C. To evaluate effects of an experiment. D. To introduce research methods.
The family of a 6-year-old adopted Chinese girl who badly needs a bone marrow transplant (骨髓移植) believes they have found a match in China. Kailee Wells suffers from a serious aplastic anemia (再生障碍性贫血), which prevents bone marrow from producing new blood cells. She has taken courses of treatment but has shown little sign of recovery. The best help for such patients is a transplant of healthy marrow or blood cells from a suitable donor. Certain tissue of the patient and the donor must match. Kailee’s mother, Linda Wells, made her second trip to China earlier this month to find a donor. Her husband, Owen Wells, said that his wife believed doctors there had found a match. “For these last 22 months, we’ve been living in fear that Kailee would take a turn for the worse and there would be nothing we could do about it,” he said. “Now we have something we can use and save our little girl. We are just about ready to start jumping up and down and rejoicing.” Wells said a Chinese girl who is about a year old has a blood sample that matches Kailee’s perfectly. The next step, he said, would be to make sure the sample is safely harvested and protected for transplant, the details of which have yet to be worked out. Linda Wells first traveled to China in February to try to locate the girl’s birth mother, who is likely to be a match. But she found no relatives and decided to try again this month. “This gives us so much encouragement because now we found what we thought we would never be able to find for Kailee,” Owen Wells said. “We’re going to continue our blood donor drive to try to continue to help as many people as we possibly can.

The other day he was going to cross the street on his way to school. He was very careful and didn't go until he saw traffic lights turn to green. But hardly had he got to the middle of the street while he saw a car suddenly appear on his righthand side and come direct towards him. It was too later for Tom to dodge (躲开)．Hitting by the car，he was thrown a few meters away. He was sent to hospital immediately and had a operation. When I went to see him last night，he was out of dangers but still looked pale. He had to stay in hospital for several days to recover the serious injury.
