Mre and mre f these invaders, in the frm f larvae（幼虫）r seeds, are surviving in castal areas arund the Suth Ple, where the temperature has risen by almst 3℃ ver the past five decades.

“The cmmn huseflies are a perfect example f the prblem the Antarctic nw faces frm invading species,” said Dminic Hdgsn f the British Antarctic Survey. “They arrive by ship, where they exist in kitchens.

The Antarctic has several native species f insects. Tgether with its native msses, these are nw under increased threat frm three majr surces: visiting scientists, increasing number f turists and glbal warming. Hwever, it is glbal warming that is the main driver f the “greening” f the Antarctic.

Mre and mre invading insects and plants have been fund n the Antarctic and have required remval. “The insects and plants that are native t the Antarctic have survived there fr thusands f years,” said Dminic. “We have t act nw if we want t save the envirnment.”
29. What des the underlined wrd “msses” in Paragraph 3 refer t?

D. They culd severely influence the native species f the Antarctic.
31. What is the main cause f the Antarctic ging green?
A. The arrival f scientists.
B. The increasing number f visitrs.

Whenever I needed a friend t talk t, I felt judged t the pint where I felt that pening my muth was wrng. I lst my self-cnfidence, my belief, my faith, and my trust.
One thing I never gave up n was reading, because I have learned that t cut dwn the negative in life I had t keep adding psitive things in my life. Smetimes reading did nt help me right away but I knew it was wrking internally. The Secret Bk is ne f my favrite bks that I have n my phne and next t my pillw.

My tunnel was filled with judgments, accusatins, and blaming. I have nt vercme it cmpletely yet but I knw that I will vercme all f it sn t becme the best versin f myself.
One f the biggest lessns I have learned is t never judge anyne withut knwing the real stry. I have als learned t always encurage and pur psitive things int peple t build them up.
