A study, 16 in the latest edition of Ecology and Evolution, reveals the 17 age of some Amazonian tree species - more than 8 million years - and 18 shows that they have survived previous periods as warm as many of the global warming imagined periods 19 for the year 2100. The authors write that, having survived warm periods in the past, the trees will 20 survive future warming, provided there are no other major environmental changes. 21 extreme droughts and forest fires will impact Amazonia as temperatures 22 , the trees will stand the direct impact of higher temperatures. The authors 23 that as well as reducing greenhouse gas emissions to minimize the risk of drought and fire, conservation policy should remain 24 on preventing deforestation（采伐森林）for agriculture and mining. The study disagrees with other recent researches which predicted tree species extinctions 25 relatively small increases in global average air temperatures. Study co-author Dr Simon Lewis (UCL Geography) said the 26 were good news for Amazon tree species, but warned that drought and over-exploitation of the forest remained major 27 to the Amazons future. Dr Lewis said: “The past cannot be pared directly with the future. while tree species seem likely to 28 higher air temperatures than today, the Amazon forest is being transformed for agriculture and 29 , and what remains is being degraded by logging, and increasingly split up by fields and roads. “Species will not move as freely in todays Amazon as they did in previous warm periods, when there was no human 30 . Similarly, todays climate change is extremely fast, making parisons with slower changes in the past 31 .” “With a clearer 32 of the relative risks to the Amazon forest, we 33 that direct human impacts - such as forest clearances for agriculture or mining - should remain a key point of conservation policy. We also need more aggressive 34 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to make minimum the risk of drought and fire impacts and 35 the future of most Amazon tree species.”16.

And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forbears fought are still at issue around the globe, the belief that the rights of man e not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God. We dare not forget today that we are the heirs（继承人）of that first revolution.Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe (enemy) alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been mitted, and to which we are mitted today at home and around the world.Let every nation know whether it wishes us well or ill that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty. This much we pledge (promise solemny) and more.In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility. I wele it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.And so, my fellow Americans ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the Freedom of Man.Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth Gods work must truly be our own.36. What should friends and foes know?A. That the United States is powerful.B. That a new generation of Americans are responsible for their government.C. That the United States is governed by liberals.D. The rights of man e from the hand of God.37. What is Kennedys promise to the world? A. To support liberty.B. To abolish all forms of human poverty.C. To visit each country at least once.D. To support and friend.38. What should citizens of the world ask of America? A. How America can help them.B. If America plans to invade their country.C. What they can do for freedom.D. What they can do for America.39. Which of the following statement is NOT true according to the passage? A. Human beings have the power to put an end to all forms of poverty.B. We should remember we are the first revolution.C. Our nation has always been mitted to human rights.D. We should assure the survival and the success of liberty.BWhats the one word of advice a well-meaning professional would give to a recent college graduate? China! India! Brazil! How about trade!When the merce Department reported last week that the trade deficit (赤字) in June approached $50 billion, it set off a new round of economic doomsaying（末日说）. Imports, which increasedto $200.3 billion in the month, are subtracted in the calculation of gross domestic product. The larger the trade deficit, the smaller the GDP. Should such imbalances continue, pessimists say, they could contribute to slower growth.But theres another way of looking at the trade data. Over the past two years, the figures on imports and exports seem not to signal a double-dip recession a renewed decline in the broad level of economic activity in the United States but an economic expansion.The rising volume of trade more goods and services shuttling in and out of the United States is good news for many sectors. panies engaged in shipping, trucking, rail freight, delivery, and logistics (物流) have all been reporting better than expected results. The rising numbers shows growing vitality in foreign markets when we import more stuff, it puts more cash in the hands of people around the world, and U.S. exports are rising because more foreigners have the ability to buy the things we produce and market. The rising tide of trade is also good news for people who work in trade-sensitive businesses, especially those that produce modities for which global demand sets the price agricultural goods, mining, metals, oil.And while exports always seem to lag, U.S. panies are being more involved in the global economy with each passing month. General Motors sells as many cars in China as in America each month. While that may not do much for imports, it does help GMs balance sheet and hence makes the jobs of U.S.-based executives more stable.One great challenge for the U.S. economy is slack domestic consumer demand. Americans are paying down debt, saving more, and spending more carefully. Thats to be expected, given what weve been through. But theres a bigger challenge. Can U.S.-based businesses, large and small, figure out how to get a piece of growing global demand? Unless you want to pick up and move to India, or Brazil, or China, the best way to do that is through trade. It may seem obvious, but its no longer enough simply to do business with our friends and neighbors here at home.panies and individuals who dont have a strategy to export more, or to get more involved in foreign markets, or to play a role in global trade, are shutting themselves out of the lions share of economic opportunity in our world.40. How do pessimists interpret the U.S. trade deficit in June?A. It reflects Americans preference for imported goods.B. It signifies a change in American economic structure.C. It is the result of Americas growing focus on domestic market.D. It could lead to slower growth of the national economy.41. What does the author say about the trade data of the past two years?A. It indicates that economic activities in the U.S. have increased.B. It shows that U.S. economy is slipping further into recession.C. It signals decreasing domestic demand for goods and services.D. It reflects the fluctuations in the international market.42. Who particularly benefit from the rising volume of trade?A. People who have expertise in international trade.B. Consumers who favor imported goods and services.C. Producers of agricultural goods and raw materials.D. Retailers dealing in foreign goods and services.43. What is the authors advice to U.S. panies and individuals?A. To import more cheap goods from developing countries.B. To move their panies to where labor is cheaper.C. To increase their market share overseas. D. To be alert to fluctuations in foreign markets.CA MENTORING (导师制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth.Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.Alex Goldberg, the programs founder, said; We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth. For example, weve secured internships (实习) with world-famous firms such as Honda.At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring, it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures. Kieran Hepburn, 14, is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far. In October the Banbury School pupil was acpanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organizations (UNESCO) International Youth Forum (论坛).The event was held for young people from around the world, to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event. Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience. Before we left I didnt quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didnt stop, it was amazing, he said, We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon. The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life. It dealt with issues (问题) such as drug abuse, violence and unemployment.Kieran said: It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August. The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury.

My characteristic optimism was alive only when I reminded myself that I would be doing what I had wanted to do since I was fourteen - teaching English.School started, but I felt more and more as if I were in a foreign country. Was this rural area really New Jersey? My students have a week off when hunting season began. I was told they were also frequently absent in late October to help their fathers make hay on the farms. I was a young woman from New York City, who thought that “Make hay while the sun shines” just meant to have a good time.But, still, I was teaching English. I worked hard, taking time off only to eat and sleep. And then there was my sixth-grade class - seventeen boys and five girls who were only six years younger than me. I had a problem long before I knew it. I was struggling in my work as a young idealistic teacher. I wanted to make literature e alive and to promote a love of the written word. The students wanted to throw spitballs and whisper dirty words in the back of the room.In college I had been taught that a successful educator should ignore bad behavior. So I did, confident that, as the textbook had said, the bad behavior would disappear as I gave ray students positive attention. It sounds reasonable, but the text evidently ignored the fact that humans, particularly teenagers, rarely seem reasonable. By the time ray boss, who was also ray taskmaster known to be the strictest, most demanding, most quick to fire inexperienced teachers, came into the classroom to observe me, the students exhibited very little good behavior to praise.My boss sat in the back of the room. The boys in the class were making animal noises, hitting each other while the girls filed their nails or read magazines. I just pretended it all wasnt happening, and went on lecturing and tried to ask some inspiring questions. My boss, sitting in the back of the room, seemed to be growing bigger and bigger. After twenty minutes he left, silently. Visions of unemployment marched before my eyes.I felt mildly victorious that I got through the rest of class without crying, but at my next free period I had to face him. I wondered if he would let me finish out the day. I walked to his office, took a deep breath, and opened the door.He was sitting in his chair, and he looked at me long and hard. I said nothing. All I could think of was that I was not an English teacher; I had been lying to myself, pretending that everything was fine.When he spoke, he said simply, without accusation, “You had nothing to say to them.”“You had nothing to say to them, he repeated. “No wonder theyre bored. Why not get to the meal of the literature and stop talking about symbolism. Talk with them, not at them. And more important, why do you ignore their bad behavior?” We talked. He named the problems and offered solutions. We role-played. He was the bad stud
