Writing-on-Stone (Canada) Canada’s Writing-on-Stone monument, known also as Aisinai’ pi, has a large number of protected rock paintings and rock carvings. Some of them are 2,000 years old.

Americans are drinking less milk today than they did 40 years ago. In fact, Americans are drinking about 40 percent less than they did in 1975. This decrease has led the United States dairy (乳品) industry to explore new ways to get people to drink milk. One method it is testing: helping to set up coffee bars in U.S. high schools. Schools prepare coffee drinks in different ways, but milk is always the main ingredient in lattes (拿铁). That is why Midwest Dairy is providing financial help for a coffee bar at a fourth high school in the Fort Zumwalt, Missouri area during the upcoming school year. In exchange, the group will get data on how much milk is used for the lattes, as well as other information about food products with dairy. Dairy groups have provided money to high schools in many states. At a high school in North Dakota, for example, a $5,000 grant from a dairy group helped pay for a coffee machine. The device makes lattes with about 0.23 liters of milk each. The drinks used around 2,000 liters of milk this past school year. Not all high school coffee bars get money from dairy groups. Even then, the money may only cover a small amount of the costs. But school food operators say lattes give American teenagers another reason to stay on school grounds. But not everyone thinks teens should drink coffee, or that they need milk. The American Academy of Pediatrics is against children consuming products with caffeine. While dairy is a good way to get calcium and vitamin D, it is not the only way to get such nutrients, says Doctor Natalie Muth. She is a child care specialist and representative for the American Academy of Pediatrics. As for lattes, Muth said there are ways to persuade students to get the nutrients of milk without promoting caffeine use. 【1】Why is the United States dairy industry willing to help set up coffee bars in American high schools? A.To promote milk consumption. B.To keep students healthy. C.To test a new mixed drink. D.To compare coffee with milk. 【2】Which of the following best explains “grant” underlined in Paragraph 3? A.Loan. B.Aid. C.Equipment. D.Scholarship. 【3】What’s Muth’s attitude to the coffee bars in school? A.Supportive. B.Ambiguous. C.Disapproving. D.Understanding. 【4】What is the best title for the text? A.Coffee Leads Americans to Drink More Milk B.Why Do Americans Less Like Milk? C.Coffee Is Welcomed by U.S. Students D.Should Coffee Bars Be in Schools?

The United States space agency, NASA, says its Mars exploration vehicle recently recorded a high level of methane (甲烷) gas on the planet. The discovery is exciting because the presence of methane gas could support the case for life on Mars. NASA’s Curiosity vehicle recently recorded the largest level of methane ever measured during its seven-year Mars mission. Methane has no color or smell. A special instrument on Curiosity’s Mars Science Laboratory recorded the increased gas level. In addition to methane, the instrument can record levels of water and carbon dioxide. Nearly all the methane gas found in Earth’s atmosphere is produced by biological activity. It usually comes from animal and plant life. But it can also be formed by geological processes, such as interactions between rocks and water. It was not the first time Curiosity has found methane gas in the Martian atmosphere. About a year ago, NASA announced that Curiosity had discovered sharp seasonal increases in the gas. This time, NASA said the measured methane gas level was clearly larger than any others observed in the past. NASA officials even temporarily stopped Curiosity’s other activities to investigate further. However, Curiosity’s team carried out a follow-up methane experiment that showed a sharp drop in levels of the gas. The rise and fall of the methane gas levels left NASA scientists with more questions than answers. The scientists are continuing to study possible causes for the sudden increase. Curiosity does not have instruments that can exactly identify whether the source of the methane is biological or geological. One leading theory is that methane is being released from underground areas created by possible life forms that disappeared long ago, Even though Mars has no active volcanoes, scientists believe it is also possible that methane is being produced by reactions involving carbon materials and water. 【1】Why is the discovery of high level of methane on Mars exciting? A.It is a very rare gas on Mars. B.It’s evidence of life existence. C.It can be used in further study. D.It proves the existence of water. 【2】What do we know about methane gas on the earth? A.It is different from that on Mars. B.It is mainly created by rocks and water. C.It is mainly coming from living things. D.It is as important as water and carbon dioxide. 【3】What brought more puzzles to NASA scientists? A.Sharp changes of methane amount on Mars. B.The first time to find methane gas on mars. C.Methane gas discovered several times on Mars. D.The sharp drop in levels of methane gas on Mars. 【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about? A.Volcanoes erupting on Mars. B.Instruments equipped on Curiosity. C.Possible life forms on Mars long ago. D.Possible sources of methane on Mars.

The right Way to Move Plants Outdoors Gardening can be both personally satisfying and a good activity for the mind and body. Flowers beautify your surroundings, while fresh vegetables provide some of the tastiest foods on your table. A seedling is a young plant grown from a seed. 【1】 But what happens when they get bigger? Seedlings that start indoors or in a greenhouse need to go through a period of transition before they can safely remain outdoors. 【2】 It will prepare the seedlings for wind, stronger sunlight and up-and-down temperatures. First, make the transition from indoors to outdoors slowly, over a week or two. A good place to harden off seedlings is in a partly protected area outside the home, such as a coldframe. 【3】 You can also harden off seedlings near a wall in an area where there is a mix of sun and shade. Or keep the seedlings fully exposed to outdoor weather conditions—for short, but increasing periods. 【4】 Sunlight can damage the leaves of seedlings that have grown indoors. Even without cold, outdoor sunlight can be as much as 10 times more intense than light from the inside of a sunny window. Slow exposure to more intense light thickens cell walls as well as existing and new leaves. This exposure can begin in areas of partial shade, or with just a few hours each day of full sun. 【5】 A.Next, expose the seedlings to the sunlight slowly. B.The home is a good place for seeds. C.This period is called “hardening off”. D.The hot sunlight might harm the young plants. E.It can be easy to grow seedlings inside the home. F.With increasing light shining, leaves also turn darker green. G.It is usually an open-bottomed box with a clear, removable cover.
