22、cts. While solar energy is known for its positive environmental impacts, officials at the National Fish and Wildlife Forensics Laboratory have come to recognize one of its significant downsides: Some specks of birds that live close to large solar plants (太阳能板) are dying off, including endangered bir

23、ds.A recent federal investigation recovered 233 birds that had been killed as a direct result of solar plants. Researchers believe that some of the affected birds have mistaken the large, reflective areas of the solar panels for bodies of water. This is a phenomenon referred to by scientists as “lak

24、e effect.” The birds are drawn to what they assume to be water. They aim for the area and slam into the panels with great force. It is thought that the insects that birds cat fall victim to “lake effect” as well, leading the birds into the panels.Researchers figure that between 1,000 and 28,000 bird

25、s are killed as a result of harvesting solar energy. The number of birds affected by wind farming is much greater, ranging from 140,000 to 328,000. Coal-fired electricity has the largest negative effect on birds, killing nearly 8 million a year. These numbers make solar farming seem like the best op

This could put specific bird species at risk of extinction.There exists a state order in California that 20 percent of al

27、l electricity of all energy sold should be renewable by the year 2017. This has been one driving force behind the rapid development of huge solar farms.

31、 to psychologist Dr. Barbara Greenberg. The movement, which is believed to have started in Prince Georges school in South London, isnt intended to discourage close friendships, but rather encourage a wider friend group, Greenberg says.“Lets face it. You cant ban somebody from having a close relation

32、ship, and you cant really ban somebody from having a best friend but what the schools are trying to do is foster the idea of kids having more than a single friend,” Greenberg said.The idea is to increase the number of interactions a student may have with different members of his or her peer group. “

33、I see kids come in all week long who are feeling awful because they are either nobodys best friend or their best friend has moved on,” Greenberg says.Jay Jacobs, who operates Timber Lake Camp in New York, stresses the downside of not fostering multiple relationships at a young age, for exactly that

35、 point to promote a more inclusive environment for years.Jacobs reminds people that, “As you grow up, interests change, and children go in different directions,” so having only one friend can be risky. He holds the belief that children will be better set up for success later in life if they get used

36、 to having a wider friend group at a young age. “Its about promoting kindness, looking to children to be kind to one another and to be aware of what it looks like when youre not,” Jacobs says.1、Why do schools ban the term “best friends”?ATo make students concentrate on their studies.BTo encourage st

37、udents to make more friends.CTo prevent students from falling in love at a young age.DTo discourage students from having a close relationship.2、Why are some kids feeling awful according to Greenberg?ATheir best friends have moved house.BThey are banned from making best friends.CThey are under great

38、pressure from study.DTheir best friends have started new friendships.3、What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?AMistake. BDifficulty.CDrawback.

43、to be in vain. “Society has changed. People have changed ” he murmured to himself. “Years ago, if people picked up something lost, they would give it back.”Back home, George was at a loss. In deep winter, he could not do anything without a pair of gloves. If he bought cheap ones, he would have to re

44、place them very soon. If he bought new leather ones, they would cost forty dollars.After the holiday, poor George decided to buy another pair of leather gloves.
