I come from a broken family. After we grew up， my sister and I could go years without speaking. And that is where this story begins. My sister Jeanne and I were born only 14 months apart， but by the time we were teenagers we had lost touch. By age 19， I had moved away from our home in Wisconsin to live on my father’ s horse farm in Virginia. Jeanne got married at 18， moved to Chicago， and I didn’ t know what. We lived separate lives in separate states， and our connection somehow ended. Fast － forward about five years. I was 24 and on a trip with my fiancé （未婚夫） to New York City，a place I had never been. During a day of sightseeing， we were crossing a very busy street loaded with people. Everyone was in a hurry. I had laughed at something my fiancé said， and I suddenly heard my name yelled from somewhere behind me： “ Cheryl！ ” I froze in my steps in the middle of the road. Tears welled up in my eyes. I knew without a doubt that it was my sister Jeanne. I yelled back before even turning to look. “ Jeanne？ ” It was her. I began pushing people out of my way to get to her. The crowd started to part—even by New York standards， we must have seemed crazy. And there we were， standing in the middle of a Manhattan street， facing each other and smiling. I couldn’ t believe it. I later asked how she’ d known it was me—she never saw me！ She said it was my laugh. I wouldn’ tsay my laugh is all that unusual， but I guess to a family member it’ s infectious（有感染力的） . It hits your heart and goes deep in your mind. Since that time， my sister and I have never been separated. We both moved back to Wisconsin. Wetalk daily. Many years have passed， and we are now in our 50s. I truly believe God played a huge part in bringing us together. But our meeting by chance wasn’ t just a sign. I see it as more of a lesson， a reminder not to lose touch with loved ones. It is too easy to remain lost.

Scientist， conservation organizations and government trying to stop the trend of extinction （灭绝） often focus on protected areas such as national parks and wildlife preserves. But with as many as million species（物种） at risk， this plan of action may not be enough to conserve wildlife. Slowing the mass extinction that now appears to be underway will require more creative means of coexisting alongside wild plants and animals. A new study indicates the effectiveness of some such approaches by examining some lands managed by indigenous groups. “ We show really strongly that， from a biodiversity standpoint in terms of species richness，indigenous － managed lands are at least comparable to protected areas， ” says biologist Richard Schuster of Carleton University. And in some places， they are better than parks and preserves －even though indigenous communities may use their lands’ resources by hunting or searching for food. Schuster and his team analyzed more than 15，000 areas in Australia， Brazil and Canada. They found that the total diversity of wildlife was highest on lands either managed or co － managed by indigenous groups， while randomly selected areas with no formal protection were the least bio－diverse. For threatened species in particular， indigenous lands scored slightly higher than protected lands on overall species richness in Brazil and Canada， as well as higher for threatened animals in Australia. Each country has a different geography， climate and history. Yet remarkably， Schuster says， the best indicator for species diversity is whether a given area was managed by an indigenous community. He pointed out that practices such as sustainable（可持续的） hunting， fishing and searching， as well as burning， are more likely to occur in such areas. Don Hankins， an ecologist at California State University，agrees. “ there’ s probably going to be more of a connection to the land， ” he says， “ and a use of the land for the things that are there， compared to a national park. ” “ It’ s really important to listen to the people who live on the land and have them drive the stewardship efforts going forward， ” Schuster says， adding that partnering with indigenous communities may enable the world’ s countries to better meet a wide range of conservation goals： “ We really need all the help we can get as a global community to prevent species extinction that we’ re facing right now. ” 【1】What does the underlined word “ indigenous” probably mean in Paragraph 2？ A.Social. B.Native. C.Protected. D.Threatened. 【2】What did Richard Schuster find in his study？ A.National parks are even higher in species diversity. B.Indigenous communities overhunted on their lands. C.Some preserves almost have no formal protection. D.Indigenous lands do better in keeping bio－diversity. 【3】Which of the following statements may Don Hankins agree with？ A.Species diversity depends on geographical positions. B.Humans’ everyday activities are no longer sustainable. C.Indigenous groups have a close bond with their lands. D.Protected areas work perfectly in wildlife protection. 【4】What is the text mainly about？ A.Beating back extinction. B.Dealing with environmental problems. C.Setting up nature reserves. D.Fighting against unsustainable behaviors. |

I grew up in a Midwestern town where the popular wisdom was to only talk about what was pleasant and to keep secrets， if necessary， to make that happen. This meant staying mum when someone offended you， rarely expressing unpleasant feelings and smiling slightly more than is necessary. It also meant zero room for airing any sort of dirty laundry，especially not the kinds of personal secrets that keep people up. Many of us like to believe that hiding unpleasant truths might make them eventually go away. Instead， keeping secrets— especially heavy ones— can spin an even more complicated web of loneliness and deception（欺骗） . So why do we do it？ The truth can hurt. But in many situations， it’ s better to get it out and let the recovery start， rather than allowing it to be more harmful. The burden of holding in the truth doesn’ t just disappear. It hides in the back of your mind and can cause disorder to your life and health. “ If the situations in your daily life are regular reminders of the secret， and you find it stressful to keep it， then yes， it can have emotional（感情上的） and physical consequences， ” says Dr. Dean McKay. “ Some people also find keeping secrets stressful out of a general concern they will ‘ slip’ ， and this frequent thought of the secret can in itself be stressful. ” This difficulty is especially worse if you feel trapped by the secret， or if it brings up other unpleasant feelings like guilt， shame or anxiety. If you do decide that your secrets took your joy away and would be better off being let out into the world， and if that secret doesn’ t put other people in physical danger， there are healthy ways to share it. 【1】What is considered wise for most people in the Midwestern town？ A.Expressing feelings freely. B.Keeping unpleasant truths secret. C.Answering violence with violence. D.Sharing private matters with friends. 【2】What is a suggested way to deal with the unpleasant situations？ A.To hide your feelings. B.To tell a white lie. C.To make no response. D.To expose the truth. 【3】What can be inferred about secrets in the text？ A.They are bad for your health. B.They are hardly accepted by people. C.They bring up more positive feelings. D.They help prevent disorder in your life. 【4】What will probably be talked about in the paragraph that follows？ A.Reasons for holding secrets. B.Ways to share secrets. C.Doubts about breaking secrets. D.Tips on keeping secrets. |

You go home from work very tired. You want to sit in front of the TV and watch something fun. What better than a cartoon？ Both children and （most） adults love cartoons. Of course， there are cartoons that are directed specifically to adults. 【1】 So， Why do adults like cartoons so much？ They have well － written characters. Well， there are plenty of reasons. 【2】 Screenwriters， designers， musicians are all working together to bring the best outcome to the big screen. Cartoons have well － written characters facing complicated situations. Sometimes the scripts（剧本） are even better than those in adult films.

Remember the time？ It was a Saturday morning and we used to sit in front of the TV and enjoy cartoons. 【3】 What’ s more， they show our inner child. By watching cartoons， we forget the trouble of everyday life and leave our problems behind. We love heroes. Almost every cartoon has to do with the journey of a character. It is a journey towards adulthood， or towards finding oneself， or succeeding in an adventure. And who doesn’ t love heroes like that？ 【4】 Plenty of times， the characters in cartoons are bigger － than － life and that’ s what we need to believe humans （ or animals） again. 【5】 Watching cartoons， the viewers enter fantastic worlds and cartoons have become works of art. Just remember the first scene in the Lion King. The sun comes up and animals from all over the jungle come to meet the new lion club. In recent years， cartoons use photo － realistic environments to make the scene bigger and better. A.A feast for the eyes. B.A little treat for adults. C.Plenty of talent works in producing cartoons. D.They remind us of ourselves， our strengths and weaknesses. E.They bring out that specific feeling， longing for our lost childhood.

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Sometimes in life， you need to act quickly. Thinking too much about a problem is not always【1】 （ benefit） . It can hold us back. But sometimes slower is better. Many things in life require careful thought and 【2】 （ prepare） . Sometimes we need to be cautious and take precautions（ 预 防 ） . “ An ounce（盎司） of prevention is worth a pound of cure， ” is a great expression for that kind of behavior. This saying comes to us 【3】 Benjamin Franklin， who was one of the 【4】 （ found） of the United States. The word “ ounce” means something really small － just two － one － hundredths of a kilogram 【5】 （exact） . So， he means that， when you deal with a problem， spending a small amount of time and effort early on can save you more trouble in the end. For example， if a country announces strong measures for 【6】 （ contain） a virus， we could say， “ An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. ” It is better 【7】 （take） severe precautions than to suffer severe consequences later. When he first used this expression， Franklin was not talking about disease 【8】 rather fire prevention. During a visit to Boston in 1733， Franklin 【9】 （ impress） with the city’ s fire prevention methods. He tried to bring some of these practices to the city of Philadelphia， 【10】 he lived. Franklin sent a letter— “ Protection of Towns from Fire” — to the local newspaper. It began with the expression “ an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. ” From then on， this expression can be used in many serious situations. |
