8、ut what she saw on Weibo. Not long ago, the 11-year-old girl, like most of the other kids, discovered that her mom had been posting her photos for much of her life. Ive wanted to bring it up. Its strange to see myself up there, and sometimes there are pictures of myself I dont like, she said. Like m

9、ost other modem kids, Cara grew up immersed (使深陷于) in social media. While many kids may not yet have accounts themselves, their parents, schools, and sports teams have been building the online presence for them since their birth. The shock of realizing that details about your life have been shared o

10、nline without your permission or knowledge has become an important experience in the lives of many teenagers. Recently a parenting blogger wrote in an essay that despite her 14-year-old daughters horror of discovering that her mother had shared years of highly personal stories and information about

11、her online, she simply could not stop posting them on her blog and other social media. The writer said that promising her daughter that she would stop posting things about her publicly on the Internet would mean shutting down a vital part of herself, which wouldnt be necessarily good for herself or

12、her daughter. But its not just crazy mommy bloggers who construct their childrens online identity; plenty of average parents do the same. Theres even a special word for it: sharenting.

15、turning to a book youve read many times can feel like drinks with an old friend. Theres a welcome familiarity but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time has changed you both, and thus the relationship. But books dont change, people do. And thats what makes the act of rereading so rich and trans

16、formative. The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register. Its true, the older I get, the more I feel time has wings. But with reading, its all about the present. Its about the now and what one contributes to the now, because reading is a

17、 give and take between author and reader. Each has to pull their own weight. There are three books I reread annually. The first, which I take to reading every spring, is Ernest Hemingways A Moveable Feast. Published in 1964, its his classic memoir of 1920s Paris. The language is almost intoxicating(

18、令人陶醉的), an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time. Another is Annie Dillards Holy the Firm, her poetic 1975 ramble (随笔) about everything and nothing. The third book is Julio Cortzars Save Twilight: Selected Poems, because poetry. And because Cortzar. While I tend to buy a lot of

19、books, these three were given to me as gifts, which might add to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful and necessary, rereading an authors work is the highest currency a reader can pay them. The best books are the ones that open further as time passes. But

As global temperatures rise, trees around the world are experiencing longer growing seasons, sometimes as much as three extra weeks a year. All that time hel

23、ps trees grow faster. For the past 100 years, trees have been experiencing fast growth in mild areas from Maryland to Finland, to Central Europe, where the growth rate of some trees has even sped up by nearly 77% since 1870. Supposing wood were just as strong today, those gains would mean more wood

24、for building, burning, and storing carbon captured from the atmosphere. But is wood reallyas dense(茂密的) as it used to be? Hans Pretzsch, a forest scientist at the Technical University of Munich in Germany, and his colleagues wanted to find an answer. They carried out a study of the forests of Centra

25、l Europe. They started with small pieces of experimental land in southern Germany, some of which have been continuously monitored since 1870. Pretzsch and his team took core samples (样品) from the trees which included Norway spruce, sessile oak, European beech, and Scots pine and analyzed the tree ri

26、ngs using a high-frequency probe. They found that in all four species, wood density had decreased by 8% to 12%. We expected a trend of the wood density like this, but not such a strong and significant decrease, Pretzsch says. Increasing temperatures, and the faster growth they spur, probably account

27、 for some of the drop. Another factor, Pretzsch says, is more nitrogen in the soil from agricultural fertilizer and vehicle exhaust. Previous studies have linked increased fertilizer use to decreased wood density. Above all, the study suggests that the higher temperatures combined with pollution fro

28、m car exhaust and farms are making wood weaker, resulting in trees that break more easily and wood that is less durable. I am getting worried, says Richard Houghton, an ecologist at the Woods Hole Research Center in Falmouth, Massachusetts, who was not part of the new study. As the density of the sa

29、mples dropped, so did their carbon content. That means forests may suffer more damage from storms and may be less efficient at soaking up(吸收) the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) than scientists think, Houghton says.1.Paragraph 1 is written to _.A.prove an ideaB.introduce the topicC.give an examp

30、leD.describe a fact2.What does the study show?A.Farming slows trees growth.B.More areas are covered with forests.C.Climate warming changes the quality of wood.D.Pollution leads to higher temperatures.3.What does Richard Houghton mean?A.Great loss might be caused.B.Storm damage can be prevented.C.The

31、 size of forests might be increased.D.Less greenhouse gases can be sent out.4.What is the best title for the passage?A.We only have one earthB.Trees our best friendsC.The influence of climate changeD.Trees are growing faster, but weaker七选五5. Our habits are what shape us our words, our behavior, and

32、even our life itself. _ Pity yourself. All bad habits start with never-ending pity for your unhappy self and talking endlessly about your bad luck. Your figure, income, education, apartment, the weather, and even the tiniest inconvenience can become a cause for feeling upset. Those who develop the h

33、abit of pitying themselves lose the sympathy (同情) of people around them. _ Assess everything in terms of money. Some people think that happiness can be achieved by having lots of money and that you cannot really enjoy life if you dont wear fancy clothes, live in a big house or drive an expensive car

34、._ Instead, they develop their ability to attract it. A truly successful person is not totally dependent on his or her money. _ Scientists say that people who dont feel they belong in their jobs are very likely to feel unhappy and live in poverty. The reason for this is their feelings that makethem

35、do what they dont want and dont like to do. To get rid of this habit for good, you should put your strength and energies into something satisfying.

51、chool project. Ashley didnt seem to like working with me at first, but she gave in. I guessed it was because none of her cool friends were in the class.
