The Wrestler Wh Became an Authr
Pete Watsn lks like the biggest, sweetest teddy bear yu ever saw. It is nly when he pens his muth that yu ntice his missing frnt teeth. He is a three-time wrld champin wrestler and nw an authr wh has written several nvels. Hwever, what impresses peple mst is nt his status as a champin r an authr, but his unique understanding f wrestling.
Watsn des nt cme frm a traditinal wrestling family. His father was an athletics directr with a PhD, while his mther was a physical educatin teacher. He was a big by, wh was ften bullied fr his size. One day his neighbr had a g at him, and fr the first time Watsn realized that he culd use his weight and size instead f feeling awkward abut it. It was a turning pint.
At cllege, he did a degree in cmmunicatin studies. Meanwhile, he was learning the rpes f prfessinal wrestling. His parents did nt bject t his learning t wrestle. They were just really insistent that he finished cllege. “I am pretty sure that they thught I’d get hurt and quit, but I didn’t,” he said. Watsn insisted n the training and enjyed every game. Once he said t his fans, “The prcess f the games is the mst enjyable thing fr me. It’s gd t have a lt f cheers during the games. They encurage me t d it better.”
Sme fans asked him what he thught f wrestling, fr they wanted t knw if he had t be a gd actr t becme a gd wrestler. Watsn gave a definite answer. “I used t really dislike the acting label,” he said. “But it is acting. When it’s really gd, when yu’re feeling it and letting that real emtin fly, it cmes clser t being real.”
Nw Watsn has retired and devted the time t his family and bks—his next nvel is abut by wrestlers living n the same blck. He des nt think this life is s different frm wrestling. “Wrestling is all abut characters,” he says. “S when my fans hear I’ve written a nvel, I dn’t get the sense that they feel I’ve abandned them.”
36. Accrding t Paragraph 2, what was the turning pint fr Watsn?
A. He became annyed at his weight and size.B. He decided t becme an athletics directr.
C. He dreamed t cme frm a wrestling family.D. He began t fight back at thse wh hurt him.
37. Hw des Watsn regard the idea that wrestling is like acting?
A. He has cme t accept it.B. He desn’t like the suggestin.
C. He believes gd actrs cme frm wrestlers.D. He desn’t think wrestling can cmpare t acting.
38. Watsn’s present life is nt s different frm his past prfessin because ______.
A. his bks are all abut his past prfessinB. his wrk is still cnnected with characters
C. his fans still fllw his career with interestD. his family gives him the same supprt as befre

Pht Research
“If yu want t be a better phtgrapher, stand in frnt f better stuff.” Phtgrapher Jim Richardsn shared it with thers. He spends a great deal f time ding pht research, lking fr great lcatins t sht.
Seeing a wnderful place is bread-and-butter phtgraphy—it’s just part f the jb. Getting there is nly half f any great phtgraph’s stry. The ther half is hw the phtgrapher prepares t capture the subject nce in frnt f it. It is believed that grundwrk is part f phtgraphy, as essential as knwing expsure and lighting r recgnizing the decisive mment t take the sht. Research sunds like a bring task fr many phtgraphers, while fr thers digging int a subject in advance is part f the pleasure.
Philsphically, phtgraphers seem t divide alng that line. On ne side are thse wh desire nly t be in the mment. On the ther side are the planners. They wuld never dream f ging ut the dr withut a full list f hw they’re ging t apprach the sht. Actually, there is a third grup nwadays. They just take phts f the whle scene and d all the creative wrk in Phtshp after the event. Mst phtgraphers d bth: research carefully t prepare their schedule and then act in the mment nce n site.
Phtgraphers shuld d a lt f research in rder t get ready fr a phtgraphic trip. This includes creating a file fr each lcatin they are due t visit. They start a file fr each place and begin t make a list f the pieces f infrmatin. Knwing what the place lks like in advance is invaluable, s it is gd t hit several Internet pht sites. Besides clueing them int the phtgraphic pssibilities f the lcatin, this can als shw what angles have already becme verused and which they shuld therefre avid. But phtgraphers will als find angles they didn’t expect frm lcatins they hadn’t imagined. Armed with these they will be better prepared t push the bundaries f what they expect.
“Abve all, I’ll lk fr places and events that are seasnal and timeless. I pen my mind t what might make a great subject fr a picture,” Jim said. “Mst travelers tend t think nly f places they’re visiting, withut lking deeper int culture, histry r meaning. I try t get in time with the rhythm f the place and in tune with its meldy. But mst f all I just want t be ready. If I’m ready, I can just abut cunt n being lucky.”
39. What des the underlined wrd “capture” in Paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. Identify.B. Recrd.C. Arrange.D. Explre.
40. What pint des the authr make abut phtgraphers in Paragraph 3?
A. They are unable t decide n the best plan f actin.
B. It is pssible fr them t adpt flexible ways f wrking.
C. The third grup is nt as imaginative as sme f the thers.
D. Sme f them refuse t try t understand the way thers wrk.
41. What is the main idea f Paragraph 4?
A. Sund preparatin is a must fr a satisfactry pht.
B. One shuld create pht sites in a phtgraphic trip.
C. Taking phts requires vivid imaginatin in advance.
D. It is essential t d pht research in central lcatins.
42. In the last paragraph, Jim states that ______.
A. he feels gd t visit thse histrical places
B. he refuses t spend t much time in ne place
C. he is careful abut chsing the right place t visit
D. he likes t g t places that few peple bther t visit

Bright Nights, Big Prblems
Astrnmers rate the darkness f ur skies n a range f 9 (brightest) t 1 (darkest), and mst f us spend ur lives in the light f levels 5 t 8. All ver the glbe ur nights are grwing brighter, and almst nwhere are they grwing darker. Studies increasingly link ur veruse f light at night with health cncerns such as sleep disrders and diseases. Other studies reprt the damaging eclgical cnsequences and the big waste f energy. But the steady lss f darkness frm ur lives is nt easily measured, fr the true value f darkness is smething we are barely aware f.
Since the beginning f time, a sky with stars was part f the cmmn human experience. Everywhere n Earth, n mst nights, peple came face t face with the universe. This experience influenced their beliefs—their very understanding f their place in the wrld. Tday, many f us live under skies which are plluted by light. We live under a night sky shwing much fewer stars. Althugh ur night sky cntinues t shape us, it is the absence f the universe arund us that influences ur beliefs t create. We are being shaped by a less experience f darkness, and mst f us dn’t even knw what we are missing.
Our Milky Way galaxy is hme t several hundred billin stars, and the universe hme t several hundred billin ther galaxies. A sky with a large number f stars encurages us t emphasize ur imprtance, t imagine humanity as the center f all things. Face t face with the endless size f the universe, we have the chance t knw hw insignificant we really are. But we als realize the true largeness f ur living n this planet, and realize that we have an enrmus respnsibility t care, that there is n ther place t g, that hme is here.
“Everyne needs beauty as well as bread,” wrte Jhn Muir, American naturalist. Lighting designers understand that withut darkness, there is n “city f light”, and they wrk cnstantly t create their city’s atmspheric beauty by mixing artificial light with darkness. And with night’s mnlit gegraphies, its smells f desert rain and autumn fires, its insect symphnies interrupted by a bird’s call n a lake, natural darkness has many fferings f its wn.
Yet we are cmpletely invlved in artificial light. Much f this lighting is whlly unnecessary, brn f habit and lack f awareness. S let us becme aware: simply by keeping ur existing lights we culd significantly reduce their negative effects n ur bdy, ur mind, ur sul. Artificial light at night is a wnder, a quality that enriches ur lives. But the same has always been true f darkness, and can be again.
43. The authr suggests that because f light pllutin we ______.
A. tend t cme face t face with the universe
B. need a lt f imaginatin t understand the universe
C. are cnsiderably less creative than ur ancient ancestrs were
D. experience the wrld in a different way t previus generatins
44. What des the authr think abut humans in Paragraph 3?
A We have an ver-cnfident belief in ur wn value.
B. We behave as if nthing exists apart frm urselves.
C. We ignre the requirement f lking after ur planet.
D. We avid thinking t deeply abut ur rle n Earth.
45. Why des the authr include references t rain, fires and wildlife?
A. T illustrate the bring life at night withut artificial light.
B. T explain why peple think lighting is necessary at night.
C. T prvide an example f the attractive qualities f night-time.
D. T highlight the differences between urban and natural envirnments.
46. We can learn frm the last paragraph that the authr is ______.
A. clear abut the reasns why artificial light is essential
B. dissatisfied with peple’s lack f interest in artificial light
C. willing t draw cmparisns between artificial light and darkness
D. hpeful that peple will becme aware f the negative impact f lights

Farms f the Future
Skyscrapers(摩天大楼) are the ultimate symbl f urban life. By 2050, almst 80 percent f the earth’s ppulatin culd live in cities. The human ppulatin culd increase t 9.1 billin peple yet the amunt f land available fr farming will be the same. ___47___
Vertical farms, where farmers culd grw crps in envirnmentally friendly skyscrapers, culd be the slutin. In spite f cncerns ver high csts, experts want t make these urban farms a reality and use these skyscrapers t grw crps. ___48___
Vertical farms wuld have many advantages, experts say. The fd wuld be grwn with minimal effects n the envirnment. Unlike traditinal farming, vertical farming wuld nt frce animals ut f their habitats by taking ver large areas f land, nr wuld it pllute the air with the use f heavy farming equipment. ____49____ These have been well recgnized.
Grwing prsperity has led t many peple demanding that all fds are available all year rund. Indr farming culd prduce crps cnstantly and crps wuld nt suffer frm weather-related prblems like drught r flding. In additin, the use f agricultural chemicals fr cntrlling insects wuld be minimal.
___50___ They pint ut that althugh crps grwing in a tall glass building wuld get natural sunlight during the day, it wuldn’t be enugh. The plants clsest t the windws wuld grw much mre quickly than the plants further inside. The plants grwing away frm the windws may nt prduce as many r as high quality vegetables. ____51____ They wuld need additinal light surces.
Experts agree that the new farming practices are needed t supprt the planet’s need fr mre and mre fd at affrdable csts, bth t the farmer and t the cnsumer. Vertical farms may be a small-scale answer, but the best ideas culd be yet t cme.
A. Still, there are sme peple wh are critical f vertical farms.
B. That is where vertical farms are ften needed fr year-rund crps.
C. S hw t meet the increasing fd needs f ur planet culd be a big prblem.
D. Fr these reasns, natural light cannt be a wrkable slutin fr vertical farms.
E. Vertically grwn fd is grwn in envirnmentally cntrlled cnditins in big cities.
F. Thse farms wuld als reduce the cst and negative effects f transprting fd ver distances.
G. They believe that we can increase the fd prductin by changing ur thinking frm ut t up.

Is Yur Memry Online?
If yu are trying t find ut wh invented the micrscpe, d yu ask a friend, g t the library, r lk it up nline? These days, mst peple will lk it up nline with a quick Internet search. “Just Ggle it”, peple say, using the name f the ppular Internet search engine. As Internet users becme mre dependent n the Internet t stre infrmatin, are peple remembering less? If yu knw yur cmputer will save infrmatin, why stre it in yur wn persnal memry? Experts are wndering if the Internet is changing what we remember and hw.
In recent study, psychlgist Betsy Sparrw f Clumbia University cnducted sme experiments. She and her team wanted t knw hw the Internet is changing memry. In the first experiment, they gave peple 40 unimprtant facts t type int a cmputer. The first grup f peple understd that the cmputer wuld save the infrmatin. The secnd grup understd that the cmputer wuld nt save it. Later, the secnd grup remembered the infrmatin better. Peple in the first grup knew they culd find the infrmatin again, s they did nt try t remember it.
In the secnd experiment, the researchers gave peple facts t remember. In additin, the researchers tld them where t find the infrmatin n the cmputer. The infrmatin was in a specific cmputer flder. Surprisingly, peple later remembered the flder lcatin better than the facts. When peple use the Internet, they d nt remember the infrmatin. Rather they remember hw t find it.
This is called “transactive memry”. We remember where t find the infrmatin, but we dn’t remember the infrmatin. Befre the Internet, we used transactive memry t remember which persn r bk had the infrmatin we needed. Nw, we just have t remember where it is stred n the Internet.
Accrding t Sparrw, we are nt becming peple with pr memries as a result f the Internet. Instead, we are learning hw t rganize huge quantities f infrmatin s that we are able t access it at a later date. This desn’t mean we are becming either mre r less intelligent, but there is n dubt that the way we use memry is changing.
52. Why did Sparrw and her team make the experiments?
53. What was the result f the secnd experiment?
54. Wuld yu please give an example f transactive memry?
55. What d yu think f the fact that the way we use memry is changing? Why?(abut 40 wrds)
