A lovely young daughter. My eyesight. My hearing. Lovely music on the radio. Time to read. Good food. Good friends. I was

20、 so cheerful and had so many visitors that the doctor put up a sign saying that only one visitor at a time would be allowed in my cabinand only at certain hours.Nine years have passed since then, and 1 now lead a full, active life.

25、 we can.CIn the 1990s, when an area of Brazilian rainforest in Amazon region, the size of Belgium, was cut down every year, Brazil was the worlds environmental villain（反派角色）. Now, the Amazon ought to be the image of what is going right. Government figures show that deforestation fell by 70% in this

26、region during the past decade. If deforestation had continued at the rate in 2005, an extra 3.2 billion tons of carbon dioxideequal to a years emissions from the EU would have been put into the atmosphere. However, Brazil is now the world leader in dealing with climate change.But how did it break th

27、e vicious cycle（恶性循环）? There was no shortcut but a three stage process including bans, better governance in frontier areas and consumer pressure on companies.The first stage, from the mid-1990s to 2004, the government put its efforts into bans and restrictions. For example, every farm in the Amazon,

28、 had to set 80% of the land aside as a forest reserve. But this share was too high to reach. This was the worst period. Soybean prices were high and a vast expansion of soybean farming expanded on the south-eastern border of the rainforest.During the second stage, from 2005 to 2009, Brazils presiden

29、t made stopping deforestation a priority（优先事项）, resulting in better co-operation between different bits of the government. The area where farming was banned was increased from a sixth to nearly half of the forest.The third stage, from 2009, was a test of whether a system of restrictions could surviv

30、e as soybean expansion continued. The government shifted its focus from farms to counties of each stave. Farmers with me worst deforestation rates were banned from getting cheap credit（贷款）until those rates fell.Brazils Amazon policy is a success because it relied on restrictions rather than rewards,

31、 which have worked better. Brazil also changed itself into a farming superpower, so the country is possible to get a huge increase in food output without destroying the forest. But now the policies have been successful among commercial farms. Small holders care rather less about the law and respond

32、to market pressures, so the government have to persuade them to change their ways. Deforestation has been slowed, but not yet stopped.28. Brazil is considered to play a leading role in dealing with climate change because .A. it has rainforest as large as BelgiumB. it has taken action to reduce defor

33、estationC. it has cut down too much rainforestD. it sent 3.2 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the air29. According to the text, what are the key factors to slow the deforestation in Brazil?A. Bans on deforestation.B. Joint efforts between different bits of the government.C. Changing Brazil into a

34、 farming superpower.D. A three-stage process of protecting rainforest.30. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Small farm holders are a headache for the Brazilian government.B. All the farmers care much about forest protection.C. Brazil has successfully got rid of deforestation.D. Both the f

35、ood output and the forest in Brazil have greatly increased.31. What can be the best title of the passage?A. Restrictions Better than RewardsB. Brazil, the World Leader in ForestC. Cutting Down on Cutting DownD. Former Awareness Creating WondersDOur hate for being alone can be quite fierce: A quarter

36、 of the women and two-thirds of the men in a study chose to experience an electric shock rather than do nothing and spend time alone with their thoughts.Historically, solitude（独处）has been considered to be a pretty bad rap because it is sometimes used as a form of punishment. said Robert Coplan, a pr

37、ofessor of psychology at Carleton University.The problem is that we forget solitude can also be a choiceand it does not have to be full time. Because there is so much research demonstrating that humans are social creatures who benefit from communicating with others. People will try to refuse to cons

38、ider that its also important to spend time alone, said Coplan. Its hard for them to imagine that you can have both.People often feel inhibited（拘谨的）from enjoying activities alone, especially when they think others are watching them. Overestimating（高估）how much other people are paying attention to us,

39、and worrying that we are being judged, can stop us from doing things that would otherwise bring us joy.Indeed, loneliness hurtsit can even negatively influence your health. But the act of being alone with oneself is not bad.An online survey called The Rest Test showed that the majority of activities

40、 people defined as most relaxing are things that are done alone. Despite the social anxiety about spending time alone, it is actually something our bodies long for. The time alone is all we need to make ourselves feel better.The freedom of not having to follow the lead of others, with no pressure to

41、 do anything, to talk to anyone, is a great way to relax, even for highly social individuals. It also helps us discover new interests and ideas without having to worry about the opinions of others.Developing this sense of being alone can help you develop your sense of self. Knowing oneself makes it

42、easier to find other people who share your passions, and can improve your ability to understand other peoples feelings. It can also help you re-evaluate the friendship: relationships you maintain even at the cost of spending time with people whose company you do not enjoy.Dont confuse loneliness wit

43、h time by yourself. The latter can improve your creativity and confidence, and help you control your emotions so that you can deal with serious situations. Getting started is easyall you need is yourself.32. The underlined words a pretty bad rap in Paragraph 2 probably mean .A. an undesirable effect

44、B. an unfair treatmentC. a strong reactionD. a frequent repetition33. According to the article, it is hard for people to spend time alone because .a. solitude is regarded as an unpleasant experienceb. we believe that humans get no benefit from solitudec. solitude tends to make people feel increasing
