    　A university graduate described as a “respectable and intelligent” woman is seeking professional(专业的) help after being convicted of （证明有……罪）shoplifting for the second time in six months.

    Ana Luz, recently studying for her PhD, has been told she could end up behind bars unless she can control the desire to steal from shops .

    Luz ,who lives with her partner in Fitzwilliam Road ,Cambridge ,admitted stealing clothes worth ￡9.95 from John Lewis in Oxford Street ,London ,on March 9.

    Phillip Lemoyne ,prosecuting（起诉）,said Luz selected some clothes from a display and took them to the ladies’ toilet in the store .When she came out again she was wearing one of the skirts she had selected ,having taken off the anti-theft security alarms（防盗警报装置）.

    She was stopped and caught after leaving the store without paying, Mr Lemoyne said.

    He added that she was upset on her arrest and apologized for her actions.

    Luz,28, was said to have been convicted of shoplifting by Cambridge judges last October ,but Morag Duff, defending ,said she had never been in trouble with the police before that .

    “She is ashamed and embarrassed（尴尬） but doesn’t really have any explanation why she did this ,” Miss Duff said . “She didn’t intend to steal when she went into the store .She is at a loss to explain it. She is otherwise a very respectable and intelligent young lady .She went to her doctor and asked for advice because she wants to know if there is anything in particular that caused her to do this.”

    Judge David Azan fined Luz ￡ 50,  and warned : “You’ve got a criminal record .If you carry on like this ,you will end up in prison ,which will ruin your bright future you may have.”

    The temperature is rising again in the Arctic. The sea ice area has dropped to one of the lowest levels on record， climate scientists reported last week.

    “The new Arctic Report Card tells a story of widespread and continued effects of a warming Arctic，” said Jackie Richter-Menge of the US’s Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory.

    “This isn’t just a climatological (气候学的) effect. It impacts the people that live there，” she added.

    Scientists concerned about global warming focus on the Arctic because that is a region where the effects are expected to be felt first， and that has been the case in recent years.

    There was a slowdown in Arctic warming in 2009， but in the first half of 2010 warming was near a record pace. The monthly readings were over 4 degrees Celsius above normal in northern Canada， according to the report card. The report card was prepared by 69 researchers in eight countries.

    Researchers said last winter’s big snow storms that struck some Northern countries were tied to higher Arctic temperatures.

    “Normally the cold air is bottled up in the Arctic，” said Jim Overland of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “But last December and February， winds that normally blow west to east across the Arctic were instead bringing the colder air south，” he said.

    “As we lose more sea ice... warming in the atmosphere can create more of these winter storms，” Overland said.

    There is a powerful connection between ice cover and air temperatures， Richter-Menge explained. When temperatures warm， ice melts. When ice melts it shows darker surfaces underneath ， which absorb  more heat. “That， in turn， causes more melting and on the cycle goes，” she said.

    In September the Arctic sea ice extent was the third smallest in the last 30 years， added Don Perovich of the US Army Laboratory. He said the three smallest ice covers have occurred in the last four years.

    Scientists care so much about the warming in the Arctic region because 　　　　.

    A .the climate in the Arctic doesn’t change much

    B. global warming effects are most serious in the Arctic region

    C .there has been a major decrease of Arctic warming in recent years

    D. by studying the region they can make predictions about the future impact of global warming

    . Which of the following shows that the Arctic is getting warmer？ 

    A. The surface of the sea ice in Arctic is getting darker and darker.

    B. The Arctic sea ice extent has disappeared over the last 30 years.

    C. The sea ice extent has increased to one of the highest levels on record.

    What does the underlined word “cycle” refer to？  

    A .Ice giving off heat when it melts.

    B. Higher temperatures bringing more storms.

    C .The cause and the result of the melting.

    D. The life of the people living in the Arctic getting worse.

    According to researchers what led to big snow storms attacking some Northern countries last winter？                 

    A. Higher Arctic temperatures.

    B. The melting ice.

    C. The cold wind blowing west to east.

    D. Cold air bottled up in the Arctic.

    What is the main point of the article？         

    A. Last winter’s big snow-storms.

    B. Winds in the Arctic region.

    C. Arctic warming and its possible effects.

    D. Changes to the life of people living in the Arctic.
