I grew up five minutes from Clapham
Junction station in south London. Our house backed
onto the railway, so the regular
sound
of passing trains was a sound I found noisy.
Clapham Junction was famously busy, but it felt
separate from the rest
of London, as if
its purpose was to carry people away from the
capital. I felt I stood on the edge of the city.
During my last year at primary school,
I spent every afternoon going across the road with

But as time
passed by, our area changed. The town became
modern, and I changed a lot too. I went from a
state primary
school to a private
secondary. I stopped drinking sugary tea. I cared
less about branded skirts but more about books. I
spent
less time
hanging around the common but more travelling to
the libraries where I found my interest.

The
greatest threat to our planet is the belief that
someone else will save it. In fact, no single one
can. We ourselves must
walk the right
path and make a difference. We should start by
doing what's necessary, then doing what's possible
and will
certainly achieve what may
seem impossible!
Some environmentalists
desire the pleasure in the pathless woods and the
happiness in the lonely shore. This is a true
account
of an organization, called
Nurture Nature, which offers a lot of
opportunities and avenues to enrich not just
one’
s surroundings
but the one himself,
To
many, it may seem that it brings about just
another forum to save the planet, and it does.
However, there is something
bigger that
it brings to you, an opportunity to redefine
yourself and a wish to make sure that you believe
that you are indeed
part of it. Being
identified by the UN Environmental Programme, it
lives up to the dreams we have dreamed.
Nurture Nature is an organization not
only to educate the citizens of our nation and
worldwide but also to spread awareness
about the various atrocities(
暴
行
) of humans towards our planet. Staff
at Nurture Nature deal with the aim of making each
and every person aware of their
specific duties and responsibilities too late
towards the planet and doing the needful before
it's too late.
By organizing
campaigns and spreading our reach through social
media, staff at Nurture Nature surely do their
best to fulfill
the aim. This
initiative has received an incredible response
from funders worldwide and funds for the campaign
and other
tasks were collected. The
funds which were put to good use were more than
sufficient.
28.
What should we do to protect the earth
according to the text?
A. Call for
discussions
B. Ignore the threats
C. Get everything ready
D.
Start from ourselves
29.
What will Nurture Nature bring to the
participants?
A. Thrilling experience
B. A beautiful
dream.
C. A chance to
know
themselves
D. A Sense of
belonging
30.
What does paragraph 4 mainly talk
about?
A.
The
functions of Nurture Nature
B.
The
expectations of Nurture Nature
C.
The reasons why Nurture Nature was set
up
D.
The efforts
the staff in Nurture Nature made
31.
What can we
know about Nurture Nature from the last paragraph?
A.
It has
finished its goal
B.
It has drawn much attention
C.
It is
organizing tasks to raise money.
D.
It is accepted
by all the people in the world.
D
The reason why
dominant(
占支配地位的
) men always
seem to rise to the top has been uncovered.
Researchers say they are
able to make
decisions far faster than those with nondominant
personalities. It could explain why so many top
CEOS and
politicians are known for
their dominant personalities.
The study
found high-dominance men respond faster in
situations where a choice is needed, regardless of
social context.
Promptness
(
敏捷
) to respond in high-
dominance men was accompanied by a noticeably
amplified brain signal. In
addition
，
when
the researchers analyzed the
EEG(
脑电图
) images of the high-
dominance participants, they identified a higher
activity
in areas of the brain
associated with emotion and behavior, compared to
low-dominance participants.
This
promptness in decision-making can act as a
biomarker for social personalities.
the
ability to make decisions faster than others. This
allows the individual to act first in social
situations, which might result
in an
evolutionary advantage, the team wrote.
They now hope to link these reading to
roles such as CEOS, and to find out if the same
differences happen in female and
children.

Get ready and you will enjoy a space
travel. The sky outside your spacecraft is mostly
black. The planet you’re looking for
is
4. 65 billion 56 (mile) away. Almost no light
57 (reach) it. Suddenly you see a glow(
暗
光
) in the
57
(distant).
As
you
approach,
it
becomes
bigger
and

is

pink.
Getting closer, you realize
60 is giving off this
’s
a
magenta(
紫红色的
) planet!
61 (name) GJ 504b, the planet is
made of pink gas.
It’s
similar to Jupiter, a giant gas planet
in our own solar system.
But GJ 504b
is four times more 62
(mass). At
460F,
it’s
the temperature
of a hot oven, and it's the planets intense heat
that causes it to glow.
You
stop your spacecraft to take 63 close
look. The sky turns pink as you enter GJ 504b's
atmosphere. Since GJ 504b
is made of
gas, it has no solid surface. So you can fly right
inside the planet, in 64 the gas envelops you
like a thick fog.
As you go 65
(deep), the gas begins to get darker. If you keep
going down, your spacecraft could melt from the
heat.
You get away from this pink
world and back into the darkness of outer space.
