11.Mother Nature is a cruel mistress.Why?Read on to find the answer. Venice This iconic city is sinking rapidly.The canals that make up the streets of Venice rise 2mm every year,making relics(遺跡)of history go under the surface of water and destroying architecture.Experts warn that without intervention(干預(yù)),this city will disappear back into the water at an even faster rate,consumed by rising sea level from melting polar,ice caps. Machu Picchu These Incan ruins have drawn adventurous tourists into the mountains of South America.The forces of natural erosion(侵蝕)have been accelerated by tourism and this landmark faces severe influence from increasing foot traffic.The Peruvian government suggested a cable car that would cut out the intense hike up to the ruins,making the site instantly accessible to millions,but the future of Machu Picchu remains uncertain. Glacier National Park Perhaps you've heard that the ice caps are melting.But nowhere is more apparent in the United States than in Glacier National Park.Estimates indicate that the glaciers that are part of the beauty of this national landmark will disappear entirely in the next two decades. The Great Barrier Reef Enjoy the gorgeous coral(珊瑚)reef.Diving deep into the blue sea,you will have a better view of it.Unfortunately,hidden from view beneath the waves,the Great Barrier Reef has been rapidly dying off.Nearly fifty percent of coral which once occupied a large area is gone,destroyed by pollution and disease.

12.Once they reach a certain age,lots of women find motherhood exhausting,but not Brooklyn-based Nina Keneally.The 63-year-old still has lots of "mothering skills" that she's actually more than happy to rent out through a unique service called "Need a Mom".Her motto is "When you need a mom-Just not YOUR mom." A former theatrical producer and drug-rehab(戒毒)adviser from Connecticut,Nina now spends all her time using her motherhood experience and her associate,degree in helping individuals in New York.For ﹩40 an hour plus expenses,Nina will listen to all your problems,offer advice (free from "I told you so"),help you plan and shop for a dinner party,sew your buttons back on,bake you a cake,and do all sorts of other things a real mother might do.She'll even buy and wrap a present for your actual mother. Nina and her husband moved to Bushwick,Brooklyn,from Connecticut two years ago,after 30 years of raising their own two sons.And she realized early on that young adults back home were different;in many ways. "The young men in Connecticut have other goals-it's all about jobs,houses,permanent relationships," she said. "They go into almost a young middle age.But here,it's a more dramatically artistic lifestyle." However,more freedom also leads to more problems,and Nina often found herself giving advice to young men who reached out to her in yoga studios and cafes. "As I started to live in the neighborhood,do yoga and frequent coffee shops,I've noticed that a lot of young people in the neighborhood wanted to talk to me about what was going on in their lives," she told Bushwick Daily.Like this man who was upset over losing a job and ended up pouring his heart out to Nina over a cup of coffee.She ended up rewriting his resume.Soon,so many young people were approaching her that Nina realized she could really help them by being a mother-figure,a substitute(替代者)mom in their lives.And that's how Need a Mom was born.It's a fairly new business and she's had about six customers so far from Bushwlck.

13.If you have a little child,who hates sitting in a car seat,then the FreedomRide is the answer to your problem. Would you want to be stuck in an unchangeable position every time you're in the car? No.You wouldn't. When an adult sits in a car for any length of time,we stretch,we change the position,and we move our legs again and again.We do this without thinking.But kids in a traditional car seat can't do this.They are stuck in one position,and they can't move.We move because the circulation of blood needs to be recovered in our legs as we sit in the same position for long. In a traditional car seat,children can't move to reduce the pain,so it puts them in anger. The FreedomRide lets them have a little freedom,and still be safe.The 5-point harness(背帶)gives them additional safety over a traditional child car seat. I am the webmaster for islandbreeze.jye.ai,and when JoeySafe asked us to redo their website,I was attracted by this system.That is because I have two small children,both girls aged 3 and 4 and we obviously use car seats.I lived in Southern California,and every couple of months,my wife,the girls and I,go to see Grandma who lives in Nevada.It's a 5-hour drive,so the FreedomRide works well.With the FreedomRide,we don't need child car seats any more and there is more room in the car.Our trips are so much better now. The FreedomRide really does make it easier to go on trips.The only thing you need when you use the JoeySafe instead of your old child car seat is a pillow.Besides,my kids want to take a pillow anyway!As a dad,I feel safe driving with the kids in the FreedomRide.I am a very safety-oriented person.
(1)From the text we can infer the FreedomRide is a
. A.car seat B.car for children C.safety belt D.game on islandbreeze.jye.ai (2)The Freedom Ride is likely to be designed for
. A.a(chǎn)a person hating sitting in the car for long B.a(chǎn)n adult often driving a traditional car C.a(chǎn) child requiring some freedom in the car D.a(chǎn) driver needing comfortable seats (3)The purpose of the last two paragraphs may be to
. A.support the topic of the child car safety B.describe the advantages of the FreedomRide C.introduce the detail of the,author's work and web D.explain how the FreedomRide was put onto the market (4)The next part following the last paragraph would probably mention
. A.the way of ordering the FreedomRide B.the design of a traditional car seat C.the information about islandbreeze.jye.ai D.the advantages of the product
14.Food blogs,celebrities,and nutritionists all advocate the benefits of eating organic(有機的)fruits and vegetables.But a new study published in Science Advances paints a more complex picture.While perhaps organic produce is slightly healthier to eat and,in some ways,more sustainable to grow,there are also downsides. Organic fruits and vegetables typically cost more than conventional ones.To get a certificate as organic,farmers must meet specific criteria,including growing produce without the use of genetic engineering and chemical inputs.Without these methods,the growing process typically requires more labor,time,and money,a cost that is passed down to consumers. It's true that in many ways,organic farming is more sustainable than conventional farming.But when it comes to environmental concerns such as greenhouse gas output and water loss,the comparison gets complex.Organic farms produce less greenhouse gas output per acre.However,because they are banned from using genetic engineering,pesticides(殺蟲劑),and other methods that increase efficiency,organic farms also produce an estimated 19% to 25% less yield than conventional farms.While there isn't a whole lot research on the topic,the few studies that do exist suggest green gas output and water loss might actually be higher on organic farms,on a per unit basis,says study author Verena Seurfert. In addition,while organic produce is likely more nutritious than conventional fruits and vegetables,there's not a lot of evidence to support the claim that these often slight differences influence consumer health.The same is true for pesticide remainder(殘留).In developed countries,where pesticide use is tightly regulated,there's no scientific consensus on how these often slight differences influence human health. Still,Seurfert stresses that if you can afford to eat organic,you should do so.Organic farms provide safer working environments for workers,plus they support great biodiversity.The real takeaway from her study is not that organic is bad but that the practice needs more studies to increase yield without lowering sustainability. But if you can't afford to buy organic produce,don't stress too much,particularly from a nutritional perspective.
(1)What does the underlined word "downsides" in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?
A.Dangers. B.Drawbacks. C.Benefits. D.Differences. (2)Which key factor makes it hard to compare organic farming and conventional farming when it comes to environmental concerns?
A.The yield. B.The price. C.The water loss. D.The labor. (3)Which of the following will the study author most probably agree with?
A.Farmers' working environment should be improved. B.Organic produce should be made more efficiently. C.It isn't wise for consumers to buy organic produce. D.Pesticide remainder does great harm to people's health. (4)In Seurfert's opinion,why should we support organic produce?
A.It's of greater benefit to health. B.It's more nutritious. C.It helps keep the variety of plants. D.It's safer for consumers.
15.Do People Need Small Talk to Be Happy? Psychologists have long said that connecting with others is an important part of happiness,but just how much conversation we require is under examjye.aiation.In one study,researchers found that small talk made up only 10% of the conversation related to happiness. (1)
Scientists believe that small talk can promote bonding.Late last year,Princeton researchers reported that small talk kept closeness with loved ones,and wasn't merely the stuff of awkward exchanges with strangers. Still,chatting with strangers can brighten out mornjye.aig.In a series of experiments,psychologists gave Chicago passengers different directions about whether to talk with fellow passengers-something they typically avoided. (2)
None of the chatters reported being rejected. (3)
People who smiled at,made eye contact with,and briefly spoke with their Starbucks baristas(咖啡師)reported a greater sense of belonging than those who rushed through the transaction(交易). (4)
One report found that when volunteers broke the silence to chat with gallery goers,the visitors felt happier and more connected to the' exhibit than those who were not approached. Of course,some people are better than others at turning small talk into something bigger.In one study,people who were rated "less curious" by researchers had trouble getting a conversation rolling on their own,and had greater luck building closeness with others when they were supplied with questions that encouraged personal disclosure(透露).But people who were considered "curious" needed no help when transforming conversations about ordinary things into personal exchanges.(5)
A.A good way to approach small talk is to focus on a few broad topics. B.A "curious mindset",the author concluded,could lead to "positive social interactions". C.But don't play down small talk. D.When done well,small talk is fun rather than dull,and relaxing rather than requiring effort. E.Those told to chat with others reported a more pleasant journey. F.Small talk can also help us feel connected to our surroundings. G.The same is true of gallery goers.
