According to Gabe Rothschild, Emerald Valleys mayor, people gathered in the suburbs of the city, carrying heavy telescopes, expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky. What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the citys lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead.“My family was so frustrated,” admitted town resident Duane Cosby, “We wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment.”Astronomers-scientists who study stars and planets-have been complaining about this problem for decades. They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the past. They call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it.There is yet a population besides professional and amateur star observers that suffers even more from light pollution. This population consists of birds, bats frogs, snakes, etc. For example, outdoor lighting severely affects migrating (迁徙的) birds. According to the International Dark-Sky Association, “100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.”Countless more animals casualties（伤亡）result from the use of artificial lighting. Clearly, people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings, but some scientists think it can be harmful for humans, too. They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase persons chances of getting cancer.Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of light pollution. For years, Flagstaff, Arizona, has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at the Lowell Observatory. Similar efforts have been made worldwide, and a movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them, so that other creatures can share the night.11It happened last night that_.A. the city light show attracted many peopleB. the meteors flew past before being noticedC. the citys lights affected the meteor watchingD. the meteor watching ended up a social outing12What is the author concerned about according to Paragraph 4?A. Birds may take other migration paths.B. Animals survival is threatened by outdoor lighting.C. Varieties of animals will become sharply reduced.D. Animals living habits may change suddenly.13Lighting regulations in Flagstaff, Arizona are put into effect to_.A. lessen the chance of getting cancerB. enable all creatures to live in harmonyC. ensure citizens a good sleep at nightD. create an ideal observation condition14What message does the author most want to give us?A. Human activities should be environmentally friendly.B. Great efforts should be made to save energy.C. Saving wildlife is saving ourselves.D. New equipment should be introduced for space study.Attitude is an internal(内在的) state that influences the choices of personal action made by the individual. Some researchers consider that attitudes come from differences between beliefs and ideas; others believe that attitudes come from emotional states. Here, we focus on the effects of attitudes upon behavior, that is, upon the choices of action made by the individual.The kinds of actions taken by human beings are obviously influenced greatly by attitudes. Whether one listens to classical music or rock, whether one obeys the speed limit while driving, whether one encourages ones husband or wife to express his or her own ideasall are influenced by attitudes. These internal states are acquired throughout life from situations one is faced with in the home, in the streets, and in the school.Of course, the course of action chosen by an individual in any situation will be largely determined by the particulars of that situation. An individual who has a strong attitude of obeying laws may drive too fast when he is in a hurry and no police cars in sight. A child who has a strong attitude of honesty may steal a penny when she thinks no one will notice. But the internal state which remains unchanged over a period of time, and which makes the individual behave regularly in a variety of situations, is what is meant by an attitude.Attitudes are learned in a variety of ways. They can result from single incidents, as when an attitude toward snakes is acquired by an experience in childhood at the sudden movement of a snake. They can result from the individuals experiences of success and pleasure, as when someone acquires a positive attitude toward doing crossword puzzles by being able to complete some of them. And frequently, they are learned by copying other peoples behavior, as when a child learns how to behave toward foreigners by observing the actions of his parents. Regardless of these differences, there is something in common in the learning and modification(修正) of attitudes.15According to the passage, we know attitudes _.A. are largely affected by ones behaviorB. come from different situations in ones lifeC. remain unchanged in ones daily lifeD. could be chosen according to ones will16Which of the following is TRUE about the learning of attitudes?A. Attitudes are only learned through ones success.B. Copying others behavior is not a good idea.C. Attitudes can be learned from ones parents.D. Attitudes learned in danger will last longer.17The author uses the examples in Paragraph 3 to show _.A. particulars of a situation may influence an individuals actionB. people with good attitudes may sometimes do bad deedsC. an individual may change his or her attitude fairly easilyD. people often make mistakes when they are not noticed18Which of the following can be learned from the passage?A. Researchers believe that attitudes only come from emotional states.B. Attitudes have a bad influence on actions.C. An honest child wont steal a penny.D. Attitudes can be learned either by ones experience or by observing the actions of others.19After the examination, the doctor told my parents my sight would get worse and that I would lose my sight finally. On the way home from hospital, no one said a word. One day, would I only imagine the scenery beyond the glass rather than see it?That September, I entered middle school. Most nights I had homework that included an armful of books to read. To keep up with other children, I took great trouble to finish the task. With my nose a couple of inches from the page, I was tired easily. Whats worse, after I had read several pages on my own, the words slipped off the page into inky pools.However, then I did not have audio books and electronic devices like kids do now. Instead, Mom volunteered to read out loud. Mom worked part-time, cleaned the house, cooked and spent time with Grandma. In spite of being so busy, she showed up in my room like clockwork. She put on her reading glasses. Mom always thought those glasses made her look old. To me, she looked like a teacher.In my room, Moms voice raced with the ticking of the clock. Being forced to focus on listening, I found a way to keep my marks up and compete with the other kids. When the teacher asked a question, I raised my hand with confidence. Teachers praised me for having a good memory. Reading removed my fear for my failing sight, reading also made me curious about other peoples challenges and how they managed. Though I could not use my eyes to fix on each passage, my mind lit up with every new book.True to what the doctor said, the worst came, but thanks to Mom, my sense of hearing now allows me to “see”. This was the most precious gift from a mother to her child.【小题1】Why did the author and his parents keep silent on their way back home from hospital?A. They all wanted to have a good rest.B.

Fear can also keep us from pursuing the things in life that really matter - like following our dreams, and developing important relationships. I have some ideas, though, of how to be free from fear. Experience fear.I used to be very afraid of speaking in front of people. I would get sweaty palms and my stomach would be so tied up that I wouldnt be able to eat. However, each time I spoke, I noticed afterwards that it wasnt that bad. Things I fear are never as bad in reality as I make them out in my mind. 56 . Create space.The first and most important step to being fearless is to create some space between ourselves and the emotion of fear. This isnt accomplished by ignoring the fear, or trying to talk ourselves out of it. 57 . In fact, a recent research shows that by simply admitting the emotion we actually begin to reverse the fight or flight(逃避) response in the body. Control the breath and feel the fear.Once we acknowledge the presence of fear, the second step is to control the breathing so that it becomes slower and gentler. We try to make the breath just a little bit longer, and feel how fear manifests(展现) in the body. 58 .With practice, we can create enough space between us and the emotion of fear so that were able to replace a fearful thought with a positive one. 59 . For instance, before I get up to speak in front of a group of people, I imagine that the audience is positively impressed by what I say and that I manage to complete the speech successfully.A. Space is created only when we can honestly acknowledge that fear exists.B. We can imagine a positive outcome for whatever were about to do.C. Fear, if left uncontrol
