Anne LaBastille was born in New York City and grew up in New Jersey. Her first experience with the wilderness was in the Adirondacks in the northeast of New York, where she worked at a summer resort (度假胜地) to earn money for college tuition (学费) by caring for the horses, giving riding lessons, and working as a waitress. And she had many chances to begin her adventure in the Adirondack wilderness.
Anne returned to school in the fall, but she continued to spend as much time as she could in the Adirondacks. She grew to love her time alone in the mountains. Anne graduated from college with a bachelor's degree in conservation of natural resources (资源) and began working for the National Audubon Society in Florida as a wildlife tour leader.
Although Anne took great pleasure in showing people the animals living in the Florida Keys and the Everglades National Park, she longed for the mountains in the northern parts of New York. Finally she decided to build a cabin near Black Bear Lake. Over the years, however, more and more tourists began hiking near her cabin. As a result, Anne decided to build another cabin deeper in the woods at Lily Pad Lake.
Anne lived in the woods for most of her life. She enjoyed living alone in the woods, and her life was far too busy for her to be lonely. When she was not writing books, she wrote articles for National Geographic, Reader's Digest, and other magazines.

As millions of playthings are recalled, doctors are reminded that the risks of lead exposure continue for young patients.
Lead is such a well-known health(危害)- perhaps even contributing to the fall of the Roman Empire- that it came as a shock to discover that toys played by children could contain lead. Doctors are now dealing with the aftershocks.
Just how dangerous is this exposure? That’s the question physicians are being asked by parents who find a lead-polluted Elmo, of Dora. Millions of others toys, lunch boxes and pieces of jewelry manufactured in China have been recalled because they contain lead either in the paint that coats them or as a component of the plastic used to make the item more flexible. The lead content in some of the toys recalled this summer was 180 times the amount allowed by law. Some pieces of jewelry were almost 100% lead.
Experts advise that the items do cause a risk and that doctors should urge parents to check the comprehensive lists of recalled products on the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s Web site and return any appearing on those lists to the manufacturers.
If exposure is suspected, a blood test is in order . Since there is no safe level of this universal (普遍存在的) element, the risk face by children for lead poisoning and its accompanying threat of learning disabilities and behavior problems is considerable.
Doctors who have toys in their waiting rooms also are advised to see if any of them have been recalled and to check for chipped, flaking paint-even on those that haven’t yet been recalled—since new announcements of toy risk continue.
1. Why does the author mention “the fall of the Roman Empire”?
A. To tell us a strange story.
B. To warn us to keep away from lead.
C. To explain why the Roman Empire fell.
D. To show how terrible lead poisoning is.
2.What is Dora according to the passage?
A. The name of a kind of metal.
B. The name of a girl.
C. The name of a toy.
D. The name of a toy company.
3.What should parents do if they are not sure whether their kids have ever touched such toys or not?
A. They should ask the experts for advice.
B. They should have a medical examination.
C. They should have their children blood-tested.
D. They should collect all the toys and check online first.
4. From the report we can infer that_____.
A. children who are exposed to lead have learning disabilities
B. the unsafe toys have all been listed on the website
C. lead is used mainly to make the products flexible
D. some toy and jewelry manufacturers will suffer heavy losses

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Did you know that if you need an alarm clock to wake up in the morning, you’re probably sleep-deprived （缺失）? __1._______ . On average, American teens get two hours less than the average 9.2 hours of sleep they need each night to function at their best.
There are many reasons why teens don’t get enough sleep. ____2.______ . When your parents were young, they might have read a book or watched television before trying to go to sleep. But today’s teens are likely to be surfing the Internet, texting, emailing, or playing video games right before bed. ___3._____ . And using them right before bed can result in difficulty getting to sleep. According to a survey by the National Sleep Foundation, teens with four or more electronic equipment in their rooms are much more likely than their peers to get an insufficient amount of sleep at night, and are almost twice as likely to fall asleep in school and while doing homework.
___4.______ . In the National Sleep Foundation survey, three-quarters of the teens took at least one drink with caffeine every day, and nearly one-third consumed two or more every day. With all the trendy “high-energy” drinks and coffees out there right now, it’s easy to get a caffeine overload and that’s not good for sleep.
So what can you do if you’re in lack of sleep? “The good news is that you only have to make up about a third of what you have lost, to function and feel better,” says Dr. Mahowald at a sleep disorders center. ____5.______ . But sleeping until noon on the weekend can cause problems — you’ll likely be wide-eyed until late those nights. Instead, try keeping a reasonable, regular sleeping and waking schedule.
A. One of them is a relatively new development.
B．Those extra two hours of sleep on Saturday and Sunday mornings can really help.
C．Most teens don’t get enough sleep.
D．Many teens also drink too much caffeine to sleep well.
E．Electronic devices are more exciting than simply watching television.
F．Researchers also have found that biology plays a role in teens’ sleep patterns.
G．Many school districts are shifting their start times to later morning for school students.
