22、An Old Tree Tells You ...

Dear human beings,

I hesitated a lot before writing this letter. All I want to do is to ask you to have a look at your life. But I’m not sure whether or not you’ll pay attention to me.

I’m a pretty old tree: I’m 80 years old. So I’ve seen much of the world. We’ve lived on the Earth with you for thousands of years. Each day we release oxygen and remove harmful gases so that you have pure air; we cool the air so that you don’t have to run your air conditioners all the time; we help prevent the Earth’s soil from being washed away; and above all, we give all kinds of fruit, nuts, beans as well as wood to you.

But we are in great danger now because of you. You are, in fact, destroying us at a terrible speed. You are burning and cutting down millions of us each year, but you’re not planting enough. For trees being planted today, 30 trees are being cut down. What would you do if all of us died? Perhaps you would die, too. Without us, you wouldn’t get the ingredients for some of your important medicine, you wouldn’t have enough materials for buildings, furniture, paper products, and your cities would look ugly. Moreover, air pollution and noise pollution would become more and more serious, and your life would turn nasty ...

Well, the list could go on forever, but I think I should stop. The best thing for you to do now is to stop your bad practice. Please stop destroying us and start protecting the environment, because we are the best fighters against pollution and we are your best friends!

I wish all the best for you, and good luck!

Your friend,

23、A man came home from work late, tired, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.

“Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?”

“If you must know, I make $20 an hour.”

“Oh,” the little boy answered, with his head down. He thought for a moment, looked up and said, “Daddy, could you lend me $10?”

The father was angry, “If you asked for the money to buy a toy or some other things, then go straight to your room and think about why you are being so selfish (自私的)!”

The little boy quietly went to his room and closed the door. After about an hour or so, the father calmed (平静) down, and started to think, “Maybe he really needs to buy something and he didn’t really ask for money very often.” So he went to the little boy’s room.

“Sorry! Maybe I was too hard on you just now.” said the man, “Here’s $10.”

“Oh, thank you, Daddy!” he said happily. Then, the boy took out some coins. When the father found that the boy already had money, he got angry again.

“Why do you want more money since you already have some?” the father shouted angrily.

“Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do.” the little boy said, “Daddy, I have $20 now. Could I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.”

24、A vegetarian diet is often praised for its health benefits. Vegetarians usually have lower levels of heart disease, and studies have also shown that they have a lower risk of diabetes(糖尿病)than people who eat meat. However, most people don't realize that a vegetarian diet produces less pollution to the earth.

Researchers from the Union of Concerned Scientists in the US recently studied how people affect the environment. The study showed that eating meat is one of the main ways that humans can change the environment, second only to the use of motor vehicle.

Then, how can eating meat have a negative effect on the environment? For a start, all farm animals such as cows, pigs, and sheep give off methane gas(沼气)by breathing. One cow can produce up to 60 liters of methane each day. Methane gas is the second most common greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide. Many environmental experts now believe that it is more responsible for global warming than carbon dioxide. It is estimated that 25% of all methane released into the air comes from farm animals.

Another way that meat production affects the environment is through the use of water and land. 2,500 gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of beef while only 20 gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of wheat. One acre of farmland used for crop production can produce 40,000 pounds of potatoes, 30,000 pounds of carrots, or 50,000 pounds of tomatoes, however, one acre of farmland used for raising cows can produce just 250 pounds of beef.

Many people now see the benefits of a vegetarian diet, not just for health reasons, but also because it plays an important role in protecting the environment. However, some nutritionists advise against switching to a totally strict vegetarian, or vegan diet. They believe a vegan diet, which excludes(拒绝) all products from animal sources, such as cheese, eggs, and milk, can be short of many necessary vitamins and minerals our bodies need.

Today, many people know that it is important to take better care of their bodies, and to use the earth's resources more efficiently. As this understanding spreads, more people may realize that to help the environment and for the human race to survive, more of us will need to become vegetarian.

【1】The underlined word "vegetarian" in the first paragraph most probably means "   ".

A. a person who eats healthy food

B. a person who eats meat and vegetables

C. a person who only eats meat, fish and seafood

D. a person who only eats vegetables，grains, and fruit

【2】It's   for a vegetarian to have diabetes than a person who eats meat.

A. more possible   B. less possible

C. highly possible   D. impossible

【3】Which of the statement is TRUE according to the article?

A. Doctors suggest switching to totally vegetarian diets.

B. It takes more water and land to produce a kilo of crops.

C. Farm animals give off methane gas and pollute the environment.

D. Carbon dioxide is more responsible for global warming than methane gas.

【4】The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 5 refers to "   ".

A. a vegetarian diet   B. animal source

C. necessary vitamin   D. health reason

【5】The main idea of the article is that   .

A. our diet is destroying the surroundings

B. raising farm animals affects the environment

C. a vegetarian diet helps to protect the environment

D. more and more people are becoming strict vegetarians

25、阅读下面材料，根据语境或提示在空白处填入单词的正确形式。

He Lost His Arm But Is Still Climbing

Aron Ralston is an American man who is【1】(interest) in mountain climbing. As a mountain  【2】(climb), Aron is used to【3】(take) risks. This  is  one  of  the  exciting  things  about  doing dangerous sports. There were many times when Aron almost lost his life because of accidents.【4】  April 26, 2003, he found himself in a very dangerous situation when climbing in Utah.

On that day, Aron’s arm was caught under a 360-Kilo rock【5】fell on him when he was climbing by himself in the mountains. Because he could not free his arm, he stayed there for five days and hoped that someone would find him. But when his water ran out, he knew that he would have to do something to save his own life. He wasn’t ready【6】(die)that day. So he used his knife to cut【7】half his  right arm. Then, with his left arm, he bandaged【8】(he) so that he wouldn’t lose too much blood. After that, he climbed down the mountain to find help.

After losing his arm, he wrote a book called Between a Rock and Hard Place. This means being in a difficult situation that you can’t seem to get out of. In this book, Aron tells of the【9】(important)of making good decisions, and of being in control of one’s life. His love for mountain climbing is so great that he kept on climbing mountains even after this experience.

Do we have the same spirit as Aron? Let’s think about it before we find ourselves “between a rock and a hard place”, and before we have to make a decision that could mean life or【10】(die).
