I will never forget what my old headmaster has taught me. when you are only 15 years of age, you do not remember most of the things that are taught by your teachers. However, this story is one such lesson that I will never forget. Every time I drift off course, I get of this story.

It was a normal Monday morning he was the students on important things in life and about ourselves to what is important to us. This is how the story .

An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would every morning and get the train right to Central London, then at the street corner and beg. He would do this every day of his life. He sat at the same street corner and had begged for almost 20years.

His house was and unpleasant smell came out of the house. The neighbors could not the smell anymore, so they called the police officers to this place. The officers knocked down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of all over the house that the old man had collected over the years.

The police counted the money, and they soon realized that the old man was a . They waited outside his house, expecting to the good news with him. When he arrived home , he was met by one of the officers who told him that there was no for him to beg any more. He said nothing , but went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he begged as usual.

Obviously, this old man had no great plans, dreams or anything significant for his life. We learn nothing from this story staying focused on the things we enjoy doing.

We should remain true to our course, which may mean committing ourselves to things that people around us would normally ,let nothing else determine our fate, but ourselves.

What makes us happy is what in the end, not what we get.

The scene in the Hollywood movie The Day After Tomorrow, when global warming could soon turn the global climate into a new ice age, may never occur, according to a new research.

The next ice age could be 15,000 years away, say European scientists who last month announced a continuous record of 740,000 years of climate data obtained from the Antarctic ice.

Scientists from 10 nations have now almost completely drilled through a 3,000-meter depth of ice high in the Antarctic mainland. They figure out that the area, where summer temperatures can fall to – 40℃, has at least 900,000 years of snowfalls, kept as neatly as the growth rings of a tree. And the ice and air caught in each layer(層) have begun to answer questions about the climates in the past..

The results show that there have been eight ice ages in the past 740, 000 years and eight warmer periods. And by comparing the pattern of global conditions today with those of the past, the researchers reported in Nature that the present warm period could last another 15, 000 years.

Research suggests that there is a very close connection between greenhouse gas levels and global average temperatures. It also shows that carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) levels are the highest for at least 440,000 years.

"If people say to you: ‘the greenhouse effect is a good thing because we would go into an ice age otherwise,’ our data say no, a new ice age is not hanging over our heads,” said Eric Wolff from the British Antarctic Survey. "Now we have eight examples of how the climate goes in and out of ice ages… and you can learn what the rules are that go into the climate models that tell us about the future."

Scientists found that whenever temperatures rose in the frozen record, so did carbon dioxide level. "In 440,000 years we have never seen greenhouse gas get as thick as it is today," said Dr Wolff.

1.In drilling through the ice in Antarctica, scientists have found that______.

A. the lowest temperature there is – 40℃

B. the depth of ice is 3,000 meters

C. the ice has existed for 15,000 years

D. snowfalls are kept in certain patterns

2.The information of the global climate conditions in the past can be obtained through______.

A. separating carbon dioxide from the air

B. examining the growth rings of trees

C. comparing temperatures in different areas

D. studying the ice and air caught in each layer

3.We can infer from Eric Wolff's words that_______.

A. there is something wrong with the data

B. greenhouse effect is always a bad thing

C. a new ice age will not come in the near future

D. greenhouse gas will get thick in the future

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Research over the Antarctic area.

B. Warm period to last about 15, 000 years.

C. Report on the eight ice ages in the past.

D. Hollywood movies and the global climate.

New findings from Queen’s University biologists show that in the plant world, bigger isn’t necessarily better.

“Until now most of the thinking has suggested that to be a good competitor in the forest, you have to be a big plant,” says Queen’s Biology professor Lonnie Aarssen. “But our research shows it’s virtually the other way around.”

Previous studies showed that larger plant species monopolize(壟斷) sunlight, water and other resources, limiting the number of smaller plant species that can exist around them. But the research has proved that this is not generally the case in natural vegetation.

In the Queen’s project, PhD student Laura Keating targeted the largest “host plants” of 16 woody plant species growing in the Okanogan Valley, British Columbia. The research team calculated the number and variety of plants that neighbored each large host plant. They then randomly selected plots without host plants and calculated the plant species there as well. The research showed that the massive trees have no effect on the number of species with which they coexist.

Smaller plants have many advantages over their overbearing neighbors, Professor Aarssen notes. Larger species generate physical space niches under their shelters where smaller species grow well. Smaller plants are much more effective than large trees at using available resources. They also produce seeds at a much younger age and higher rate than their bigger counterparts, and settle down much more quickly—thus competing with the newly-born plants of larger species.

1. What’s the main idea of the text?

A. Smaller plants may have many advantages over their neighbors.

B. In the plant world, the bigger is better than the smaller one.

C. To be a good competitor in the forest, you have to be a small plant.

D. Queen’s University’s students made a new research.

2. The underlined word “this” in Para. 3 refers to the view that _____.

A. large and small plants can grow together in harmony

B. larger plant species limit their smaller neighbors’ growth

C. small plant species have their own advantages

D. large and small plant species can never coexist

3.What can we learn according to the text?

A. Larger plant species limit the number of smaller ones around them.

B. Smaller plants can limit the number of plant species around them.

C. Smaller plants produce seeds at a higher rate than their bigger counterparts.

D. Larger trees are more effective than small plants at using available resources.

4. Which is the CORRECT order in the Queen’s project?

a. Randomly selected plots without host plants and-calculated the plant species.

b. Calculated the number and variety of plants that neighbored each large host plant.

c. Selected the largest individuals or "host plants" of 16 woody plant species.

A. a, b, cB. c, b, a

C. b, c, aD. a, c, b
