By the time I turned 7,I noticed something strange: All the bats in my neighborhood had vanished, and I wondered why. Later I learned what had happened to my towns bats. A disease called “white

19、 nose syndrome(白鼻综合征)” had killed 93 percent of New York States bats (and about 6 million bats across the country)! I was shocked.

21、st of an environmental program on my local radio station, asking if theyd do a show on bats. (They did!) But I still wanted to find a way to educate people face to face. I managed to make a presentation to a school. I also used tools to describe how bats help farmers (and protect our food supply) by

22、 eating crop-damaging insects. I practiced my presentation until it shone like a polished stone. It went over so well that other teachers started requesting me. Over the past three years, Ive talked in front of everyone from 5-year-olds to senior citizens! The more I present, the more I notice that

23、I am changing minds. I have watched people go from dismissing bats as “disgusting(令人厌恶的)” to truly understanding them and advocating their protection. Right now, Im thinking of becoming a marine biologist (海洋生物学家) someday. As long as Im helping animals, I11 be happy.25. When the author was little, b

CDear Sir / Madam, I live next to your school in Grasmere Road and I am writing regarding the very bad behavior of some of your younger students. In addition to this, I should like to bring to your a

27、ttention to the irresponsibility of certain members of your staff when supervising (监督) students, evening activities. Firstly, concerning the students behavior, I should like you to make it very clear to those students walking along Grasmere Road towards the station that my front garden is not a pla

28、ce where people are allowed to leave their rubbish. When they leave school in the afternoons, they pass my house and throw empty cans, waste paper and even cigarette packets (although most of them are below the age for smoking) on my grass. Could you also please ask your students not to shout and us

29、e bad language in the street, as this is harmful to the reputation of both your school and the area? Regarding certain members of your staff, you are perhaps unaware of the fact that their evening activities sometimes continue well beyond ten and the noise is too loud. Last Thursday night the noise

30、did not stop until 10:30 pm. Surely the members of staff supervising these activities could bring the events to a close at a suitable moment.

33、I live in the land of Disney, Hollywood and year-round sun. You may think people in such a splendid, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happines

34、s have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more lasting emotion. Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily(暂时) forget our

35、problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful individuals have constant access t

36、o great parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells “happiness”. But in memoir (回忆录) after memoir, they tell the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children and profound loneliness.Ask a single man why he resi

37、sts(抗拒) marriage, if hes honest, and he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment, for commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.Similarly, couples that

38、choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness. They can dine out whenever they want and sleep as late as they can. Couples with little children are lucky to get a whole nights sleep or a three-day vacation. I dont know any parent who would choose the word f

39、un to describe raising children.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating(解放性的) realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can really increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car o

40、r those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those rich people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.32. We can learn from the passag

41、e that_.A. fun creates long-lasting satisfactionB. happiness is lasting while fun is short-lived C. fun provides enjoyment while pain leads to happinessD. fun that is long-standing may lead to happiness33. To the author, the role Hollywood stars will play is to _.A. write memoir after memoir about t

42、heir happinessB. bring happiness to the public instead of going to partiesC. teach people how to enjoy their livesD. tell the public that happiness is not related to fun34. In the authors opinion, marriage_.A. indicates duty and devotion B. leads to raising childrenC. affords greater fun D. usually

43、ends up in pain35. Which of the following is the best example of “painful happiness”?A. Winning lottery by accident. B. A single man resisting marriage.C. Raising children. D.

45、ver before. 38 Women are now about half the countrys workforce.

46、s served at the evening meal - what Americans call dinner - were prepared at home. Today fewer than 60% are homemade. Susan Fisher is a nutrition professor at Meredith College in Raleigh, North Carolina. She says some people may cook a big meal just once a month or for special events. She says much

47、of the recent interest in cooking has more to do with the idea of a homemade meal than with the ability to do it night after night. “ 39 It smells wonderful, but you can buy it for two to three dollars a loaf.” Susan Fisher says most people do not have the time or money to buy all their food from lo
