Theres my name, Alexander Spe

34、ncer, typed on the front. I throw it under the bed. The piles of envelopes are growing.The envelopes were applications to all the colleges I was supposed to attend. I did open the first envelope. Then I saw the application, all those blank spaces I was supposed to fill with my own writing, spaces fo

35、r my name and birth date and grade average and statement of purpose. I looked at them for a long time. I could write for hours and not fill all those spaces. So I put the application back in the envelope. I would fill it out the next day, when I had time. But another envelope arrived. And then the p

36、ile began.The pile scares me it is really like a monster. All the while, I feel the weight of a million envelopes raining down on my head until my grandmother calls me and wants to know how I am.“I am overcome by too many tasks,” I say.“Honey, you just take it bit by bit,” she says, and she reminds

37、me about the green beans.When I was a little kid I hated green beans. But my mom said I couldnt leave the table until I ate ten green beans. All alone at the table, I stared at the green beans for what seemed like hours. It was a mountain of green beans. I couldnt do it.My grandma came to me and ask

38、ed if I could eat one green bean.“But Grandma, I have to eat ten!”She said all I had to do was to eat one green bean. One tiny little green bean. So I ate one. It was bad, but not as bad as Id thought it would be. Then she asked me again if I could eat one. So I ate one green bean nine more times.My

39、 grandma doesnt know about the envelopes, but she tells me anyone can do one thing every day.Back in my room, I lay down on the bed.

42、 the envelopes.D. He will eat up the green beans.C Have you ever looked toward the sky on a fall day and witnessed a group of migrating birds? If so, you probably noted the V-shaped formation of the birds or the birds flying in a ball-like formation. Why do birds fly this way? Many theories have bee

43、n developed to explain the formation patterns of different types of birds. One theory is that birds fly in certain formations to take advantage of the laws of nature. The birds know that flying in a V-shaped pattern will save energy. Like the lead cyclist in a race who decreases wind force for the c

44、yclists who follow, the lead bird cuts wind force for the birds that follow. This decrease in wind force means that the birds use up to 70 percent less energy during their flight. When the lead bird becomes tired, a more rested bird takes over that position. But saving energy is important for more t

45、han one reason. Sometimes food is short during migration flights. Keeping energy enables the birds to fly longer distances between meals. When food is sighted, the birds guide one another in a different way. When a bird identifies a familiar feeding area, it might turn around in order to signal the

46、group to change direction. Then, this bird becomes the new leader. It helps guarantee that other birds will know exactly where it is going. Then the whole group makes a change in direction, gently streaming from the sky down to the ground. This formation is like an arrow pointing to the location of

47、food. Scientists have also studied the birds that sometimes fly in a ball-like formation. Researchers believe that the birds come together if a predator（天敌） is spotted. The predator may then become impatient waiting for a single bird to fly away from the group. The birds will often dip and dive as a

48、 group, frustrating even the most persistent enemy. Scientists report that this is a very effective method of defense against an attack. The birds care for their fellow fliers through teamwork. As transportation expert Henry Ford once said, “If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes

49、 care of itself.” When it comes to teamwork, these feathered fliers are a soaring success!63. According to the passage, we can learn that birds _. A. move faster than cyclists B. prefer to fly in a V formationC. are smarter than other animalsD. play different roles in a formation 64. When food is si

50、ghted, _.A. the group follows the discoverer B. the lead bird decides what to doC. the discoverer leaves the group D. the whole group forms a stream65. To protect themselves from attack, birds will _ .A. break into groupsB. come close together C. change directionsD. fly up and down66. Which is the b

51、est title for the passage?A. A Birds-Eye View of Teamwork.B. Success Takes Care of Itself. C. The Strongest Will Survive.D. A Science Behind Flying.D A MythIt is true that world population is growing, but this is not the cause of our current and future global problems. Believing this will cause us t

52、o ignore the real problem and risk long-term damage to our planet.Let me start by explaining why overpopulation is a myth. For one thing, the UN Population Division regularly predicts population growth but provides a low variant (变量), medium variant, and high variant to factor in various possibiliti

53、es. In the 2010 revision, their high variant suggests that the world population will be almost 16 billion in 2100, but the low variant predicts it will peak at 8 billion and decrease to just over 6 billion by 2100. In most cases, it is the low variant that has come true in the past, suggesting the s

54、ame will be true of their future population predictions. In addition to this, the size of families is actually decreasing. For another, if the Earth is overpopulated, there needs to be insufficient (短缺) food, water, and space for humans to live. However, Indian economist Raj Krishna estimates that I

55、ndia alone is able to increase crop produce to the point of providing the entire worlds food supply. The World Food Programme confirms that there is sufficient food grown to feed the world and there is the same amount of fresh water on the planet now as there was 10,000 years ago. So how is it possible that the number of people in the world is affect
