Aunt Fannie was Blueberry Jam Woman. Of cour she wasn’t really my aunt, and. out of fear, I never called that to her face. The name always made my father chuckle (轻笑) and my mother look sternly (严厉地) at both of us—at me for being disrespectful, and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior. I enjoyed both reactions, so I looked for every opportunity to work for the name into conversation.
As a young woman, my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large Victorian farm hou owned by Fannie Cratty. Fannie was the last of the Cratty line; she had never married, and had no living heirs (继承人). My father once told me that it was becau she was too mean to share her family wealth or pass it on. Aunt Fannie was noted for her jam, and for never sharing the recipe with another living soul. Even though my mother knew it by heart, as long as Aunt Fannie was alive, she never made the jam without Miss Cratty in our kitchen to direct the process and prerve the cret.
One year, after I had been particularly helpful with the jam-making process. Aunt Fannie gave me a quarter and then made me promi I would never spend it. “Hold onto this quarter,” she said, “and some day you will be rich. I still have my first very quarter.” It had obviously worked for her, so I put that 1938 quarter in a small box. put it in my dresr drawer, and waited to become rich.
I now have the blueberry-jam recipe and the quarter from Aunt Fannie. Neither has significantly contributed to my wealth, but I keep them to remind mylf to hold onto the valuable things in life. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is your relationships, and your memories of time spent with friends and family, that truly leave you wealthy. And that is a fortune that anyone can build.

Lizard (蜥蜴) species may already have declined past the point of no return in the world. What is the reason? Rising temperatures. Rearchers estimate that as much as 40 percent of lizard species worldwide will die out by 2080. The problem is that temperatures in many regions where lizards live have changed too fast for the animals to keep pace.
Barry Sinervo from the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of California in Santa Cruz, along with colleagues from across the globe, reached that conclusion by taking current data on Mexican lizards. They also estimated that 4 percent of local species have already disappeared worldwide. That number could jump to 20 percent by 2080 if carbon dioxide levels aren’t lowered to reduce warming.
mime
The team looked 48 species of Sceloporus lizard at 200 sites around Mexico. The sites were first sampled from 1975 to 1995. By 2010, rearch could not find lizards at 12 percent of tho sites.
Lizards that bear live young are especially at risk of dying out, the rearchers point out, compared to that lay eggs. “Live-bearers have lower body temperatures that heighten the risk of dying,” Sinervo said in a statement. We are watching the species disappear before our eyes.”
Although current evidence shows that climate change is affecting the habitat ranges of many species, there is still a lot of uncertainty about how much climate change will affect species, rearchers say.
Many Mexican lizard species live in high altitude “islands”, where climate change happens the fastest. The lizards cannot adjust fast enough to survive. The scientists say they do not think the animals are likely to save themlves just by moving somewhere el v either.
中国研究生成绩查询入口“How quickly can Earth’s lizards adapt to the rising global temperatures? That’s the important question,” Sinervo said in a press relea. "We are actually eing lowland species moving upward, slowly driving upland species out of their habitats. If the upland species can’t evolve fast enough, they will die out.”
28. Which of the following lizards face a higher risk of dying out?
A. Lizards at low altitudes.
B. Lizards that bear their young.
C. Lizards that lay eggs.
D. Lizards in a stable environment.
29. According to Barry Sinervo and his colleagues, ________.
A. their conclusion is bad on current data on various kinds of lizards
B. 20 percent of local species have already disappeared worldwide
C. they are uncertain about how much climate change will affect species
D. they are eing highland species moving downward
30. The upland lizards are affected greatly by the climate change becau of ________.
A. their living habitats’ destruction
B. their living skills
C. highland species moving downward
D. their adaptive capacity
31. The purpo of this passage is to ________.
A. prove that earth is not suitable for lizards
B. warn that lizards may die out quickly due to the climate change脱产班
C. explain why no more lizards will be found by 2080
D. emphasize that the habitat of lizards is changing greatly

We are always being told by the department of Health to eat five portions of fruit and vegetables a d
ay. But it’s not clear where the evidence for this comes from, and a large study by the European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) two years ago of the dietary intake of more than 400,000 people found only a weak link between eating fruit and vegetables and a reduction in overall cancer risk. There is no evidence it reduces breast cancer.
Even so, how could anyone argue against eating more fruit and vegetables? Well, it depends on what fruit you are eating. A review article in the Canadian Medical Association Journal warns that a chemical in grapefruit (葡萄柚) can interact lethally with certain medicines. Even apple juice, the staple (主食) of many breakfast tables, may prevent our absorption of some drugs. Parents also often think fruit juice is a healthy alternative to fizzy (起泡的) drinks, but juices contain sugar and calories too— as much as a glass of Coke—so should be drunk in moderation.
Grapefruit has also been linked to an increa in breast cancer. A study in the British Journal of Cancer (BJC) of 500,000 women found that eating a quarter of the fruit a day incread the risk by 30%.
The solution?
There is one good reason for not eating grapefruit—it tastes sour. But it is unlikely to increa your ri
sk of getting breast cancer; further rearch by the BJC showed no increa in rates of breast cancer for women who tuck into (猛吃) grapefruit or drink juice.
Grapefruit contains a type of chemical called furanocoumarin, which prevents the breakdown of some prescription drugs. As a result concentration of the drugs ri, and can have rious side-effects, including kidney (肾) damage, heart blockage, and deep-vein thrombosis (血栓).
Patient information leaflets should tell you what foods to avoid with which drugs. If in doubt, ask your doctor. So you don’t need to eat less fruit, and many still need to eat more. Another paper from the EPIC study found a 225 reduction in deaths from heart attacks in people who ate eight portions of fruit and vegetables a day compared to tho who ate three or fewer. The way the study was designed, however, means that it can only suggest a link—it can’t prove one.
32. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Everyone should eat more grapefruit.
B. People should cat fruit lectively.
C. Parents should have their children drink more fruit juice.
D. Eating fruit and vegetables has been proven to reduce overall cancer risk.
33. What docs the underlined word “lethally” probably mean?
A. Cloly.
B. Wrongly.
C. Dangerously.
D. Quickly?
34. What do we learn about grapefruit?
A. It increas the risk of heart blockage.
B. It reduces deaths from heart attacks.
C. It reduces absorption of some drugs.
D. It caus increas of breast cancer in women.
35. Which of the following questions does the author mainly answer?
A. What is grapefruit?
B. Should people eat less fruit?
C. How can one reduce the risk of getting breast cancer?
juddD. What should patient information leaflets tell people?

The Champion Snorer (打鼾者)
It was the Cedar Rapids sleeper (卧铺车). Outside, it was as dark as the inside of an ink-bottle. In the sleeping car people slept. Or tried it. Some of them slept like Christian men and women, peacefully, sweetly and quietly. Others slept like demons (恶魔) as though it was their mission to keep everybody el awake.
36. ________
We never heard anything snore like him. It was the most systematic snoring that was ever done, even on one of the tournaments of snoring, a sleeping car. 37. ________ O, no! There was more cold-blooded magic in his system than that. He waited until everybody had had a taste of sleep, just to e how nice and pleasant it was; and then he broke in on their sound sleep like a winged, breathing demon, and they never knew what peace was again that night.
38. ________ We all hoped it was an accident, however; and, trusting that he wouldn’t do it again, we all forgave him. Then he ruined our hopes and spoiled the sweet sincerity of our forgiveness by a long-drawn “Gw-a-h-h-hah!” that sounded too much like business to be accidental. 39. ________ But the sleeper in "lower three” went on in long-drawn, regular rhythms that indicated good staying qualities, “Gwa-a-a-h! Gwa-a-a-h! Gahwayway! Gahway-wah! Gahwa-a-ah!”
Evidently it was going to last all night; and the exhausted heads dropped back on the sleepless pillows, and the scolding began. 40. ________ He shot off an annoying “Gwook!” which sounded as though his no had got mad at him and he continued to disappoint everybody with a guttural (似喉间发出的) “Gurroch!” Then he paud again for breath and when he had accumulated enough, he let out a more disturbing “Kowpff!” that nearly shot the roof off the sleeping car.
A. Pretty soon “lower three” gave us a little variation.
expertsB. Then there was a pau, and he awakened from sleep and looked at us.
