But the increase in climbers is turning the worlds highest mountain into the “worlds highest junkyard(垃圾场)”.Every year， more than 700 climbers spend nearly two months on Mount Qomolangma. They have left human waste and all kinds of rubbish， including oxygen bottles， broken tents， and plastic bags， according to Ang Tshering Sherpa， chief of the Nepal Mountaineering Association.“The waste has become a health danger to people in the area since they depend on water from rivers fed by the melting glaciers(融化的冰川)，” Sherpa said.More and more people have realized the danger that Mount Qomolangma is facing and they are now taking active actions. To deal with the problem， Nepal has supported a special team of explorers and volunteers to clean the mountain since 2008. So far they have brought down 15，000kg of rubbish. Nepal also started to ask each climber to bring down 8 kg of rubbish in 2014.On the Chinese side of the mountain， Tibet(西藏) will collect a cleaning fee of $100-200 (620-1240 yuan) per climber starting from this year.

If so, please remember, for often, achieving what you expect is not the most important thing. Here is a story to tell you why.One day a little boy decided to dig a hole behind his house after watching a science program. As he was working, a couple of boys stopped by to watch. “What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors. “I want to dig a deep hole all the way through the earth!” the boy answered excitedly. The older boys began to laugh, telling him that it was impossible to do it. Then they left.The little boy kept on digging and digging. Suddenly, a few small colorful stones caught his eyes. He collected them and put them into a glass jar (罐) patiently. Humming (哼唱) a song, he went on digging. The jar was full soon. Then he talked to himself calmly and proudly, “Maybe I cant finish digging all the way through the earth, but look at what I have found in the process (过程) of digging!”The boys goal (目标) was too difficult, but it did cause him to go on, in other words, to cause us to keep working!Not every goal will be achieved. Not every job will end up with a success. Not every dream will come true. But when you cant achieve your goal, maybe you can say, “Yes, but look what Ive found along the way!

Everyone has a different temperament (脾气). It is usually believed that both genes (基因) and environment may affect peoples temperaments in different ways. But now scientists have found that the season of birth also plays a role.Scientists from Budapest, Hungary, studied 400 university students. In the study, the students needed to finish a questionnaire (问卷). The purpose of it was to find out which of four kinds of temperaments they most had. From the questionnaire, scientists found that the students always answered something like My mood often changes for no reason and I love to deal with new projects, even if it is risky. These answers were then matched with their birthdays.They discovered that people born in summer easily change between sad and happy moods compared to people born in winter. Those who always feel positive are mostly born in spring and summer.The study also found that those born in autumn less probably had a mood of depression which may easily drive them to cry, while those born in winter were not easier to be angry.Scientists said that this was probably because the seasons had an influence on certain chemicals in the human body. And the chemicals are important to control peoples moods even in adult life._It seems that when you are born may increase or decrease your chance of developing certain mood disorders (紊乱), lead scientist Xenia Gonda told The Telegraph.（1）What probably cant affect peoples temperaments according to Paragraph 1?A . Genes.B . Ages. C . Seasons.D . Environment.（2）What does the under1ined word depression most probably mean?.A . Sadness.B . Happiness.C . Surprise.D .

There were 400 middle school students taking part in the study.D . The answers to the questionnaire were matched with their birthdays.（4）What will the writer most Probably write about on _ ?A . How many kinds of moods thee are.B . What can change the human body most.C . How the certain chemicals affect the moods.D . Whether the students will continue their study.（5）Whats the best title of this passage? A. Seasons and Moods B. The Influence of Genes C. Moods and Health D. The Importance of BirthplacesA .

Of course, many of us know we may eat the whole thing in the end.It isnt just girls. Most of us find it hard to say no to something attractive, However, scientists now say that willpower is very important to success and a happy life.Scientists in different countries have been studying the effects of willpower on peoples lives for a long time. The results are similar, according to an article on February 7 in the Guardian, a famous British newspaper.In one experiment, scientists told young children that they could either have a marshmallow(圆形软糖) now, or two marshmallows in 15 minutes. Waiting obviously needed more willpower. Scientists then continued studying the children as they grew up. They wanted to see if some children always had stronger willpower. They also wanted to see how having stronger willpower affected their lives.Years later, scientists found that the children who had waited for two marshmallows were all healthier, happier and richer adults. Oppositely, the children who had shown weaker willpower at that young age were more likely to be in low-paid jobs, to be overweight, to have social problems.But there is hope, Roy F Baumeister, an American social psychology(心理学) professor(教授) told the Guardian. Baumeister says we can train our willpower just like we train our muscles. Even a little practice can strengthen our overall self-control if we do it regularly.You could start by making yourself stand up straight, speaking in complete sentences, or using a computer mouse with the other hand. Scientists have found that people who manage to change little habits often perform much better in laboratory willpower tests.Like muscles, willpower can get tired. Dont try to do too many things at the same time, or when you dont have enough energy, for example when you are ill. If you already feel tired, you can try to recharge(恢复) your willpower with a good nights sleep and by eating well.（1）The example of a girl eating cheesecake is used to_.A . prove that girls have weak willpowerB . introduce the topic of willpower to the readersC . show that cheesecake is especially attractive to girlsD . show the connection between willpower and success（2）What can we infer from the experiment?A . The scientists had already known the results before the experiment.B . It showed that willpower is the most important to success and a happy life.C . The children who chose to wait were more likely to be successful in their lives.D . The children who chose only one marshmallow at first had stronger willpower.（3）Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the training of willpower?A . You should have a goal every dayB . Good rest and proper diet can help.C . Willpower needs to be exercised regularlyD . Keep willpower from being used too much.（4）What is the article mainly about?A . How willpower and muscles are similar and how they can be trainedB . How willpower affects peoples lives and how it is similar to muscles.C . How willpower is important to success and how we can make it strongerD . How willpower is connected with success and how they affect each other.二、 完形填空 (共1题；共15分)5. （15分）先读通下面的短文，然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，故答案选出最佳选项。It has been some time since(自从) Jack saw the old man.
