Rbert Friedman, wh was in the business f buying and selling pians, recently shwed ff marks n a pian that was nce wned by Edisn. The pian had grups f small marks abve the keybard. He was surprised by the tth marks left by the inventr f the phngraph (留声机) , a music playing device.
Edisn invented the phngraph in 1877. Edisn ever asked fr the pian at the lwest price. When he bught the pian and put it in the lab, he was experimenting with sund recrding. He wned the instrument fr many years, s it was pssibly used in early recrdings.
There aren’t phtgraphs f Edisn biting this pian. But he was thught t bite int phngraphs and pians t help him experience music as his hearing wrsened. His daughter nce remembered that a guest cried n the spt at the sight f Edisn biting int a pian as smene played it.
Friedman calls himself the pian hunter. He finds and buys the famus pians frm peple and then sells them, usually t dealers. But this pian is mre cmplex. He is nw lking fr the right hme fr the instrument. Friedman says that he believes that it belngs t smeplace where many peple can see it.

A smke bmb frm a party started a majr blaze (火焰) near Ls Angeles in September,just ne f many recent wildfires ignited (引燃) by peple. Nw, an analysis f satellite data shws human-caused blazes spread much faster and kill mre trees than nes ignited by lightning.
Fire has always been a part f Califrnia’s natural histry. But several centuries f human settlement have created new cnditins that prmte its spread.Studies have shwn human ignitin is t blame fr 84% f all wildfires in the United States,and 97% f all thse that threaten hmes.
Human-caused fires always seemed mre extreme, says Stijn Hantsn,a fire eclgist at the University f Califrnia,Irvine,wh led the new research. But measurements f hw fast they spread and their impacts n ecsystems (生态系统) in Califrnia had nt been explred, he ntes.
T examine thse differences, Hantsn and his clleagues analyzed satellite data fr 214 wildfires in Califrnia between 2012 and 2018.Human-caused fires typically spread abut 1.83 kilmeters per day, mre than twice as fast as lightning-ignited burns,the team reprts.The faster spreading fires als burned mre vilently and killed “duble r triple” the trees as lightning-caused nes.
Hwever, there is n fundamental difference in the chemistry f a human-caused blaze. “A fire is a fire” Hantsn says. “It’s the surrunding things that matter.” Causes f fires ranging frm imprperly thrwn cigarettes t sparking (冒火花) pwer lines culd ignite a blaze n any given day, he says, while lightning strikes and dry thunderstrms nly happen seasnally.
The researchers tracked meterlgical data and fund that human-caused fires were mre likely t start n days with extreme weather cnditins,and were mre assciated with drier,less-frested landscapes. This adds t scientists’ understanding f hw humans are extending the fire seasn, says Nathan Mietkiewicz, an eclgist with the Natinal Eclgical Observatin Netwrk.
32．The authr uses sme data in paragraph 2 t shw that ________.
A．wildfires are mstly caused by humans
B．mst wildfires threaten peple’s hmes
C．wildfire is a part f Califrnia’s natural histry
D．wildfires break ut frequently in the United States
33．What’s the purpse f Hantsn’s research?
A．T prve hw extreme human-caused fires are.
B．T find ut the causes and slutins f wildfires.
C．T explre the speed and effects f wildfires caused by humans.
D．T examine the differences between a human-caused blaze and a nature-caused ne.
34．Hw is the result presented in paragraph 4?
A．By giving examples.B．By making cmparisns.
C．By analyzing cause and effect.D．By giving definitins.
35．What can be inferred frm the last tw paragraphs?
A．Human-caused fires and lightning-caused fires are basically different.
B．Lightning strikes and thunderstrms can always lead t wildfires.
C．Wildfires nly happen in dry,less-frested areas.
D．Humans are t blame fr the extended fire seasn.

After wrking many years in a large hspital, my wrk as head nurse in a small lcal hspital turned ut frustrating. Occasinally we lacked supplies r equipment and smetimes the fd was less than desirable. The biggest prblem was the lack f qualified help. Still, everyne wrking there had a genuine lve fr the patients, and did their best t care fr them.
Alice, a tiny, elderly lady with bright blue, twinkling eyes, was everyne’s favrite. Her nly living relative was her sn Jack, a large, tugh man. Tatts (纹身) cvered his arms and an untidy beard grew wildly n his chin. N matter hw cld the weather was, he always wre a tank tp shirt s the snake artwrk culd be admired by all. He wre faded jeans, s stiff with thick dirt that they culd have std alne. His lud and rude manner frightened mst f the staff.
But this large man lved his tiny mther. Every day, he rared up t the hspital entrance n his ld mtrcycle, pushed pen the frnt dr, and walked with heavy steps dwn the hall t her rm, his lud bt heels annuncing his arrival. He visited at unpredictable hurs s he culd surprise anyne wh suspected him f nt taking prper care f his mther. Yet, his gentleness with her amazed me.
I made friends with Jack, figuring I’d rather be a friend with a man like him, than an enemy. And I, like everyne else, truly lved his mther.
One particularly bad evening at the hspital, three nurses called in sick, the fd carts came late and cld, and ne f the patients fell and brke his hip. Jack came in at suppertime t help his mther with her meal. He std and lked at me in surprise as I busily tried t d the wrk f three nurses. Exhausted, and near t tears, I avided his stare.
After the patients were finally fed, bathed, and put t bed, I sat at the desk and put my head dwn n my arms fr a few mments’ relaxatin befre the night shift arrived.
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly, the frnt dr burst pen.
