Damage to Ozone layer Gets Worse
In the middle of winter, when snow is falling in many parts of the United States, scientists have sounded a warning to people who plan to spend many hours in the sun this summer. The warning is: The sun’s summertime rays are more dangerous than once thought.
A team of scientists from 80 nations recently reported to the United Nations that a layer of ozone (臭氧层) in the atmosphere, which protects humans from harmful levels of ultraviolet(紫外线) radiation, will be thinner over the United States this summer. The thinner layer allows more ultraviolet rays from the sun to reach Earth. The extra amount of ultraviolet radiation could cause an increase in the number of cases of skin cancer.
Scientists first became concerned about the ozone layer in the mid-1980s when a hole was discovered in the layer above Antarctica during the winter. The hole was caused by chemicals used in refrigerators and air conditioners. When these chemicals are sent out into the atmosphere, they produce gases that destroy the ozone.
Concern about the protective ozone layer rose more recently when data from satellites and ground stations showed that ozone levels were dropping over the United States and other populated areas in the world.
Although many countries have already begun stopping the use of ozone destroying chemicals, the new findings are expected to promote the timetable for a total ban of the chemicals.
【1】The scientists have observed the ozone layer_____.
A.since 1980 B.since last winter
C.for over 30 years D.for about one year
【2】The ozone layer in the atmosphere can _____.
A.do a lot of good to human beings in many ways
B.do a lot of harm to human beings in the summer-time
C.protect humans from diseases caused by bad weather
D.protect humans from harmful levels of ultraviolet radiation
【3】The damage to the ozone layer was caused by_____.
A.the changeable weather B.ozone-destroying chemicals
C.chemicals from refrigerators D.chemicals from air conditioners

Early in the morning of June 29, 1991, Carrie and Morgenstern were watching the field. Although they could see nothing through the thick fog, they kept their camera running.
By 6 a.m. the fog began to lift. A pair of circles had been flattened. The wheat were bent but not broken. Outside the circles the wheat was untouched, and there were no footprints or other marks. The circles seemed to have come from nowhere. “ I can’t explain it at all ,” Mike Carrier said to himself with his eyes wide open.
Carrier is not alone since the early 1980s, more than 2000 circles have appeared in farmer’s fields. Most circles form at night between May and August.
Some believe the circles are caused by deer or some other animals. Others think of UFOs. “The circles are messages given by those who come from outer space,” says Michael Green. “Perhaps they are trying to get in touch with us.”
Pat Delgado has done research on crop circles since 1981. He believes that they are caused by “ some form of earth energy.”
Most scientists think that there’s no scientific basis to back up Green’s or Delgado’s theories. In September 1991, Doug Bower and Dave Chorley told newsmen that since 1979 they had made circles throughout southern England to fool people who believed in UFOs. Since the early 1980s, Dr. Terence Meaden has visited more than1000 circles. Now he thinks he may have the answer. He believes true crop circles are made by vortex(旋风) which can flatten the crop.
Now crop circles are still found in southern England each summer. Are they really the traces of UFOs?
【1】On the morning of June 29, 1991, Carrier and Morgenstern hoped to________.
A.record the important thing B.draw a conclusion
C.find some footprints D.see something funny
【2】When he saw the crop circle, Mike Carrie was________.
A.satisfied B.frightened C.surprised D.interested
【3】Most scientists consider that theories of Green and Delgado are_________.
A.meaningful B.undoubted C.instructive D.unreasonable
【4】According to the article we may know that all the crop circles______.
A.are caused by some animals B.are formed by earth energy
C.are not tricks made by someone D.are made by UFOs from outer space

There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other things, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, hurt many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation (模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its owners. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when they realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is mainly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they want to get some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they do something wrong, no one will excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
【1】People who are unhappy _______.
A.always consider things differently from others
B.usually misunderstand what others think or say
C.always discover the unpleasant side of certain things
D.usually are affected by the results of certain things
【2】The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means “_______”.
A.make others unhappy B.tend to scold others openly
C.have a good taste with social life D.enjoy the pleasure of life
【3】We can conclude from the passage that _______.
A.we should pity all such unhappy people
B.people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
C.such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
D.unhappy people can’t understand happy persons
【4】If people keep the unhappy habit, the author suggests we should ____.
A.prevent any communication with them
B.show no respect and politeness to them
C.persuade them to recognize the bad effects
D.quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes

Some people succeed, while others do not. 【1】 The first thing you must remember is that in order to succeed, it is necessary that you should be optimistic. You must have faith in yourself and in your ability to succeed, otherwise you are not very likely to win, or even to try.
【2】. You need to work with every fibre of your being. When you really have a thirst for success, you put your performance under the microscope to make sure that every little thing you do works towards your goal.
【3】 . Most successful people are not as conventional as the people around them. Where others see failure, they see possibility. Where others see a lack, they see a surplus (盈余). 【4】.

To become successful, you may find it important to read about successful people, to see how they have achieved success. 【5】 . While everyone's road to success is different, many successful people have the same drive and the same qualities.
Practising is just as important if you want to succeed, because practice makes perfect. This will help you feel confident about what you do.
If you own the qualities above, success is yours for the taking!
A.Where others see a closed door, they see an open window.
B.You need to be able to look people in the eye and be honest.
