I got mine all because of my little sister. Two month

6、s before my fifth birthday, my little sister was born. I'm 21 to say that after she was born, I wished that I was the only daughter. Every minute I was 22 to do something for her: help feed her, change her diaper (尿布), rock her, or talk to her. It wasn't until I reached age 7 that I 23 disli

14、 at the Beach A fun-filled day at the beach turned into horror for Alex Sun and his four-year-old son, John. The two were happily playing at Discovery Bay's main beach when Mr. Sun saw something sticking out of the sand next to John's foot. He stopped his son just as the boy was about to ste

15、p on a 3.5-cm-long needle. "John was barefoot. Think about what might have happened if he had stepped on that needle," said Mr. Sun. "It's a terrible thing to imagine." The Suns' experience shows how serious the pollution problem on the beach is. "Discovery Bay has a

16、lways been one of my favorite beaches," says Mr. Sun, "but now I'll think carefully before letting my child play here again. He will surely have to put on shoes in the future, and I won't take him into the water. This used to be such a beautiful place. The water was clean and blue

17、with no pollution at all. Now there is garbage everywhere. If nothing is done, a family day at the beach could be a thing of the past." Stephen Chan, a member of a team that has been set up to study the pollution situation there, says, "Medical waste can never be controlled completely. We

18、already know that it is not coming from government hospitals and clinics so we are checking to see if it is coming from private doctors. One of our problems is that there are no laws to help us deal with the people responsible for this pollution." "If there were stricter laws, people might

19、 think twice about throwing garbage into sea," says Maggie Tang of Friends of the Earth. Mr. Chan, however, thinks that stricter laws alone will not solve the problem. "We cannot keep an eye on every inch of the coastline," he says. "There will always be people who throw dangerou

20、s garbage. I believe it is mainly a matter of education. If people would accept responsibility for what they do with their garbage, we would be much closer to a solution." 36. Which of the following pictures shows "a barefoot"? 37. What does Mr. Sun think of the beach now? A. Unpopula

21、r. B. Unsafe. C. Deserted. D. Crowded. 38. According to Stephen Chan, what is the best way to solve the problem at the beach? A. Improve technology to get rid of garbage. B.

22、angers of polluting the environment.BSleeping on the Job I love sleeping. It's something I'm good at. There's nothing better than nodding off on the sofa in front of the TV and when my head hits the pillow at night, I have no problem falling into a deep sleep within minutes. There is one

23、 place where I never snooze and that's at work - but new research suggests I should! The idea of you and your colleagues heading off for a lie-down in the afternoon may seem odd, but some companies such as Google and The Huffington Post actually encourage it. This isn't because their employe

24、es are insomniacspeople who struggle to get to sleep at nightbut because it's thought that a power-nap (小睡) makes them more refreshed and more awake, and this in turn makes them more productive. But will this idea catch on? An Australian health writer called Thea O'Connor is a founder of a c

25、ampaign called Nap Now which is trying to make sleeping at work more acceptable. She calls herself a "naptivist"! She says, "I think that our culture is a bit crazy not to embrace (accept) it it's time to change the present work practices which are all about working longer and har

26、der." So should we all be taking a sleeping bag and pillow to work with us? A few years ago, research by the East of England Development Agency found 30% of people have their best ideas in bed compared to just 11% who have them at their desk. That suggests people are more creative when they are

27、 relaxedand the agency has called for companies to put beds in the workplace. A nap in the afternoon is nothing new. In certain hot countries, such as Spain, a short rest or sleep in the afternooncalled a siestais perfectly normal. But my problem with having 40 winks (眨眼) in the afternoon is that I

28、usually fall into a deep sleep. But maybe we should break from the traditional nine-to-five work culture and embrace the siesta. The UK's Sleep Council claims that the nine-to-five working day does not fit into the natural sleeping pattern of the human race and says that bosses need to introduce

They

48、use a high-tech weather information network located all overand abovethe globe. Satellites orbit Earth all the time. Planes and balloons go up daily to collect data. Weather stations in almost every country on the earth contribute data. As you've noticed, forecasters sometimes make mistakes. A f

49、orecast is only a prediction. It is based on what's happening now. However, nature doesn't always follow a predictable pattern, so a forecast is only an educated guess, not a certainty. Weather satellites remain in fixed positions 22,000 miles above the equator (赤道). Together, their cameras

50、can photograph the entire earth, except the poles. Other satellites follow north-south and south-north routes from pole to pole. The long tails of weather balloons are equipped with radiosondes, which measure temperature, air pressure, and humidity in the atmosphere. Some balloons can reach as high

51、as 90,000 feet to collect data. Weather monitoring equipment is attached to airplanes. These planes can fly directly into storms to take measurements. About 10,000 weather stations around the world send reports every three hours to 13 weather centers operated by the World Meteorological Organization

52、 (世界氣象組織). Probably the most familiar piece of weather equipment is the weather vane. It's certainly one of the oldest. Weather vanes have been around since the ninth century. They indicate the direction the wind is blowing. Radar equipment sends signals into clouds. These signals are then chang

53、ed into images on radar screens, allowing meteorologists to track storms. Other stations float at sea and send data to satellites. 1. Why do forecasters sometimes make mistakes? (不多于9個(gè)詞) 2.
