It is therefore no wonder that scientists all over the world

14、are looking for solutions to try to restore this all important link to sea life.

30、 mountain goats threaten about 80 bighorn sheep. The bighorn sheep numbered as many as 125 just a few years ago. The strong goats spread disease and compete with bighorn sheep for food. Unlike small-sized bighorn sheep, Grand Tetons mountain goats arent native to the park. They were introduced to th

31、e park in the 1960s.Grand Teton spokeswoman Denise Germann said, “Weve got a management responsibility to protect the native species. After hearing from the public on the proposal (建议) in January, park officials expect to decide as soon as mid-February on what to do about the mountain goats.”The goa

37、em developed because the pharaohs frequently needed to send messages up and down the Nile River in order to keep their empire running smoothly. Later, the Persians developed a more efficient system for sending messages using men and horses. Messages carriers rode along the road system stretching fro

38、m one end of the Persian Empire to the other. Along these roads, fresh men and horses waited at special stations to take and pass along any messages that needed to be sent. The stations where riders passed messages back and forth were built 23 kilometers apart, so the men and horses were able to tra

39、vel quickly between them. The Romans later took up his idea and improved it by using a more advanced and extensive road system.In China, however, Kublai Khan had built up his own system for delivering messages. This system worked in the same basic way as the Roman system. The difference was that Kub

40、lai Khan kept 300,000 horses along the roads of this delivery lines. There were over 10,000 stations where a message would be passed from one rider to another with a fresh horse. In this way, Kublai Khan could receive messages from anywhere in the country in only a few days.It was not until the 1500

41、s that a well-organized postal system appeared again in Europe. One family, the von Taxis family, gained the right to deliver mail for the Holy Roman Empire and parts of Spain. This family continued to carry mail, both government and private, throughout Europe for almost 300 years.In 1653, a Frenchm

42、an, Renouard de Velayer, established a system for delivering post in Paris. Postal charges at that time were paid by the recipient , but de Velayers system was unique by allowing the sender to pre-pay the charges, in a similar way to the modern stamp. Unfortunately, de Velayers system came to an end

43、 when jealous competitors put live mice in his letter boxes, ruining his business. Eventually, government-controlled postal systems took over from private postal businesses, and by the 1700s government ownership of most postal systems in Europe was an accepted fact of life.The thing that all these e

44、arly systems had in common was that they were quite expensive for public use, and were intended for use by the government and the wealthy. However, in 1840, a British schoolteacher named Roland Hill suggested introducing postage stamps, and a postal rate based on weight. This resulted in lowering po

45、stal rates, encouraging more people to use the system to stay in touch with each other, His idea helped the British postal system begin to earn profits as early as 1850. Soon after that many other countries took up Mr. Hills idea. And letter writing became accessible to anyone who could write. Today

46、, the Roland Hill awards are given each year to encourage and reward fresh ideas which help promote philately (stamp collecting).1、What is the main topic of the passage?AHow international letters travel.BA surprising method for delivering mail.CThe history of postal systems.DChanges in the methods o

As soon as you decide that you are willing to go beyond what is safe, the possibilities a

50、re endless. For me, one of the most important things that we should always keep in mind is the fact that growth and comfort cant coexist.Personal development author Napoleon Hill once said: “Whatever the mind can understand and believe, the mind can achieve. Regardless of how many times you may have

51、 failed in the past or how lofty(崇高的) your aims and hopes may be.” This statement is especially powerful because it reminds us that we are the only ones who can be responsible for how far we will go. However, stepping outside of our comfort zone is probably the most important step to experiencing re

52、al change.For a long time, I knew that I wanted to live in Argentina, so halfway through my bachelors degree, I bought a one-way ticket there. While in Argentina, I finished the last two years of my degree online before flying back home for graduation. I currently still live in Argentina, and I can

53、proudly say that taking the necessary steps to make it a reality was one of the most important things I could have done.This, of course, by no means at all applies to everyone, and Im not implying we should all buy one-way tickets to foreign countries and see what happens. But its important to know

54、that we should recognize what we desire and try to bring our dreams to life.Living in a comfort zone can trick us into believing that we have an abundant amount of time when, in reality, we all know that years can fly by without us having accomplished much of what we really wanted to do. So why wait

55、? Im thankful that I didnt put off my move until a later date because I would have missed out on a lot of amazing life experiences that have shaped me as a person. If we want to experience even a small amount of change, we will have to step outside of it.1、Why do people prefer staying in comfort zon

56、e?AIt makes people feel safe.BIt leads to great things.CIt is important for growth.DIt helps make wise decisions.2、What does Napoleon Hills statement mean?ATime and tide wait for no man.BThe higher you fly, the harder you fail.CFailure is the mother of success.DNothing is impossible to a willing hea
