Sea turtles have been on Earth for millions of years, but they may soon die out. The main 1 to them is people who kill them for food, according to Dr. Wallace J. Nichols of the University of California.
But the latest news may 2 turtle hunting: Dr. Nichols has found that sea turtles 3 a lot of pollution from the ocean. This pollution is unhealthy for both turtles and humans. It can cause __4__ damage to their bodies and lead to death. Research shows that many people get sick and even die from eating sea turtle meat.
In the US, most people have never eaten turtle. This is because turtles are 5 by the United States law, which makes it 6 to harm or kill these amazing animals. “But many people in other countries still eat them,” explains Nichols. “Our first 7 was to save turtles; now we must save 8 too.”
Davis said he also wants to send out a bigger 9 that we should protect the oceans. “The health of the ocean, animals in the ocean, and our own health are all 10 . A clean ocean is really good for us too because of the food we eat from there.”

Countless people appear in your life---familiar or strange, close or distant. Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there to serve some sort of , to teach you a lesson, or to help you who you are or who you want to become. You never think about who these people may be (possibly your roommate, neighbor, co-worker, long lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger), but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment they will your life in some way.
And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful and unfair at first, but with more you find that without overcoming those difficulties you would have realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart.
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens or by means of good luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and complete stupidity all occur to the limits of your soul. these small tests whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved（铺设）, straight, flat road to . It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and . The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience, help to create who you are and who you become.
Even the experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant(伤心的) and important ones. If someone hurts you, you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious when you open your heart. If someone loves you, love them back , not only because they love you, but because , they are teaching you to love and how to open your and eyes to things.
Make every day count. every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people that you have never talked to , and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don’t believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you. You can make your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no .
Most importantly, if you LOVE someone, tell him or her, for you never know what tomorrow may have in . And learn a lesson in life each day that you live.
That’s the story of life.

Water and its importance to human life were the centre of the world’s attention last week. March 22 was World Water Day and 36 the theme “Water for Life”.
There are more than one billion people in the world who live without 37 drinking water. The United Nations 38 to cut this number in half by 2015.
Solving such a big problem seems like a(n) 39 challenge. But everyone, 40 teenagers, can do something to help. A teenage girl in the US has set an example to the 41 of her age around the world.
Rene Haggerty, 13, was awarded the 2004 Gloria Barron Prize for her work— 42 discarded(废弃的) batteries（电池）which pollute water.
In 2003, Haggerty went on a field trip to the Great Lakes Science Centre in Ohio. There she saw an exhibit about how 43 in old batteries harm the water of Lake Erie.
Haggerty learnt that 44 the batteries was an easy solution. “I think everybody can do it, because everyone 45 batteries, and it can make a big difference.” With these words, she began to 46 awareness in her area.
She 47 her county government and school board. She got permission to start a recycling programme in schools 48 the public library, hospital, and churches. With help from her family, friends and local waste-management 49 , she gathered containers, arranged transportation, and made a(n) 50 video.
Over the past two years, she collected four tons of batteries and drew the attention of officials, who were in charge of a battery recycling programme but had made 51 progress.
When asked 52 she feels like a hero, Haggerty is quite ____53 . “Not really. Well, maybe for the fish I saved!”
Every year the Gloria Barron Prize 54 young Americans aged 8 to 18 who have shown leadership and courage in 55 the public and the planet. Each year ten winners receive US $ 2,000 each, to help with their education costs or their public service work.

Though giant pandas may appear perfectly happy chewing bamboos, scientists recently discovered that they would rather have something sweeter. Scientists chose because the animals are herbivores (食草动物), which would mean that they would love sweets. However, the plant they choose, the bamboos, has a very sugar content and is therefore not considered sweet. Could this mean that pandas have their hobby for sweet things?
The pandas were given six kinds of sweet liquids that are found in fruits and vegetables. They were also given at the same time. In each of the taste tests, the animals the natural sweeter liquids and ignored the water . They ate up all the sweet liquids and the water was left untouched.
What was even more interesting is that when the scientists the water with five different man-made sweeteners, ones that humans find delicious, the pandas were not as . In these tests, they picked the water instead. The scientists believe that it could be either because pandas found them to be too or not sweet enough and that the mixture could not the pandas.
The scientists were not too by the results, since pandas in zoos have always shown a preference for treats like apples, sweet potatoes and even mooncakes. Scientists believe that the pandas may have once sweeter foods that were available in the lowland areas that they used to live in. But when human settlement in the lowland areas them to the bamboo forests in the mountains, they had no but to settle for the almost sugarless plants.

In 1990 a report was published about what the earth might be like 20 years from then on. The report was a result of a three-year 36 .
According to the report, the picture of the earth in the year 2010 is not a 37 one. The world will be more 38 because the population will continue to grow . The population could be 39 6 300 million, almost 2 115 million more than in 1985 .More people would move into cities, especially cities in 40 countries . Cities like Cairo and Jakarta probably would 41 have 15 million by then .
Food production will 42 , but not enough to feed all the people . Farmers will grow 90% more food than they did in 1985, 43 most of the increase would be in countries that
44 produce enough food for their people . Little increase is 45 in South Asia, Africa and the Middle East . Poor farming ways are 46 large areas of crop land, changing farms into deserts . More farmland is 47 as cities become larger and more houses are built . 48 will get worse as industrial countries burn more coal and oil .Many of the world’s 49 could disappear as more and more trees are cut down . Energy will continue to be a serious problem . The experts say their picture of the earth for the year 2010 50 . They only carried out the situation that 51 today . By changing the situation, by 52 the problems, the picture can be changed . There is 53 time for the nations of the world to work 54 a plan of action . But they warned that 55 too long to make decisions would greatly reduce the chances of success .

The massive magnitude（震级） 8.8 earthquake that struck the west coast of Chile moved the entire city of Concepcion at least 10 feet to the west, and moved other parts of South America as far apart as the Falkland Islands and Fortaleza, Brazil.
These measurements, produced from data gathered by researchers from four universities and several agencies, paint a much clearer picture of the power behind this earthquake, believed to be the fifth-most-powerful since instruments have been available to measure earthquake.
Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina moved about 1 inch to the west. And Chile's capital, Santiago, moved about 11 inches to the west-southwest. The cities of Valparaiso and Mendoza, Argentina, northeast of Concepcion, also moved.
The quake's epicenter (震中) was in a region of South America that's part of the so-called “ring of fire,” an area of major seismic（地震的） stresses which encircles（环绕，包围） the Pacific Ocean. All along this line, the plates on which the continents move press against each other.
Mike Bevis, professor of earth sciences at Ohio State, has led a project since 1993 that has been measuring crustal（地壳的）movement in the Central and Southern Andes. The effort is called the Central and Southern Andes GPS Project, or CAP.
Ben Brooks, an associate researcher with the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology at the University of Hawaii, said that the event, offers a unique opportunity to better understand the seismic processes that control earthquakes.
“We now have modern, precise instruments to evaluate this event, and because the site borders a continent, we will be able to get evidences of the changes it caused.” said Brooks.
What is the main idea of the passage?
A．The earthquake in Chile was dangerous. B．Earthquake often happen in Chile C．The earthquake in Chile moved cities. D．The earthquake in Chile had been predicted.
A．Concepcion B．Buenos Aires C．Santiago D．Valparaiso
A．the fire and the earthquake B．the beautiful places around the ocean C．the plate on which South America lies D．the area around the Pacific Ocean
A．It is under the leadership of Mike Bevis. B．It observes earthquakes worldwide. C．It is designed to watch climate changes. D．It mainly studies the Pacific Ocean.
The new science of spending comes to a surprising conclusion .How we use our money may as much or more than how much we’ve got it.
Money spent on experiences , rather than material goods, more happiness.
Imagine that you wake up tomorrow morning to $1 million under your bed .What would you do that cash?
The money will probably make you think about one thing all else---- yourself. A large amount of research reveals that money our selfish sides. We will much on what that money can do for us alone. Perhaps you are imagining buying a faster car, or even a new house.
But studies show that goods often fail to deliver happiness. Fortunately ,our ongoing research many ways to get more happiness from every dollar you spend .Changing how you spend money can increase your happiness.
But making these needs to challenge some of our ideas of spending. It’s hard not to buying a house as a wise investment. But research shows it brings very little happiness. A study in the United States found that homeowners , on average ,were no happier than .
So, working hard to save money for a house might not be such a good idea it means spending less time with your families and friends.
And dozens of studies show that people get more happiness from buying than material things. Experimental purchases—such as trips ,concerts and special meals –are more connected to our sense of self.
And experiences come with one more . They tend to bring us to other people , but more often, material things are enjoyed .So social contacts are important to mental and physical health.
