27、e that Im leaving right away. Up-in-the-Air Au PairDEAR AU PAIR: Whatever your arrangement, it is reasonable for them to expect you to be honest and to keep them in the loop.

32、ost people think of a big, toothy, underwater animal; basically we are imagining a Great White. In fact sharks come in all shapes, sizes and even colors! Follow me please; Id like to show you a very special small shark commonly known as horn sharks, only found in the coastal waters of north-west Nor

33、th America.Look at this shark, and you can easily see the horns on it and you will know the reason why it is called the horn shark is that it has the broad, flattened head and two large horn-like spines(脊椎) found behind its eyes and makes it one of the hardiest of all shark species. What makes it un

34、ique is that as its enemy attempts to swallow it, the spines on its back will stick into the enemys mouth and give a good chance for it to get away.The horn shark is brown in color with black spots all over its body. The adults can reach up to a length of 4 feet and weigh up to 10 kg. An interesting

35、 fact about the horn shark is that it has five gills(鳃). The horn shark is a clumsy swimmer using its flexible pectoral fins(胸鳍)to push itself along the bottom of the ocean. The maximum distance that has ever been recorded for a horn shark to have traveled out from its habitat is 10 miles.Today, as

36、so little is known about its population off the Californian coast, they have been listed as being “Data Deficient” in the World Conservation Union. The horn shark is being threatened both by water pollution and commercial fishing in the area. Though they are not among those sea creatures hunted prim

37、arily for food, but they often get caught as a by-catch in fishing expeditions. 59.

39、of the following are unique to the horn shark EXCEPT that_. A. it doesnt travel far B. it is good at swimming C. its spines can be used to attack the enemy and escape D. it is only found in the coastal waters of north-west North America CSixty-five million years ago, an asteroid (小行星) that crashed o

40、n Earth led to the disappearance of the largest animals that have ever walked our planet the dinosaurs. At least, this is what some scientists believe. But that accident happened so long ago. People have come to believe that we are free of threats from asteroids and everything else from space.Howeve

41、r, what happened on Feb 15 , 2013 was a reminder that were just as vulnerable as the dinosaurs once were. Two objects from space a meteor (陨石) and an asteroid called 2012 DA14 visited Earths atmosphere on the same day. The former fell in Russia, injuring 1,200 people, while the latter passed by Eart

42、h at a record-setting close distance.Scientists had been expecting the asteroid since last year, but the meteor was a surprise. NASAs telescope system only detects asteroids at least 50 meters in diameter (直径), which is just about the size of 2012 DA14. But the meteor was much smaller, which made it

43、 harder to spot.But what if we do spot an asteroid that is headed right for Earth? There are several possible ways in which dangerous asteroids could be made to change its orbit. Which method is best depends on several factors and most importantly how much time we have to stop it.If there is enough

44、time before the hit, we can send off a heavy spacecraft to travel alongside the asteroid. The gravity from the spacecraft would gradually change the rocks orbit. Besides that, scientists could one day use sun-powered lasers to either make asteroids disappear or change their course. If theres not eno

45、ugh time, well have to go after the asteroid with a spacecraft and change its orbit with a crash. Finally, if things are truly desperate, there will be only one choice left to use a nuclear bomb. That could turn the asteroid into a meteor shower, which would be even more dangerous.63. The author men
