    A few weeks after my first wife, Georgia, was called to heaven, I was cooking dinner for my son and myself. For a , I had decided on frozen peas. As I was cutting open the bag, it from my hand and crashed to the floor. The peas, like marbles, everywhere. I tried to use a broom, with each swipe they just rolled across the kitchen．

    For the next week, every time I was in the , I found a pea---in a corner, or behind a table leg. They kept . Eight months later I pulled out the refrigerator to clean behind it, and 12 frozen peas hidden underneath．

    At the time I found those few remaining , I was in a new relationship with a wonderful I’d met in a support group. After we married, I was reminded those peas under the refrigerator, and realized that my had been like that bag of frozen peas. It had shattered（破碎）. My wife had died; I was in a new city with a busy job, and with a son having trouble his new surroundings and the of his mother. I was a bag of spilled frozen peas; my life had come apart and scattered．

    When life gets you , when everything you know comes apart, and when you think you’ll never , remember that it’s just a bag of scattered frozen peas. The peas can be , and life will move on. You’ll find all the peas , including the ones that are hardest to find. And when you’ve got them you’ll start to feel whole again．

    The life you know can break apart at any time. But you’ll have to , and how fast you collect your peas depends on you. Will you keep scattering them around with a broom, will you pick them up one by one and put your life back together?

    As temperatures go up, bison（北美野牛）get smaller. Joseph Craine, research assistant professor in the Division of Biology at Kansas State University, examined how climate change during the next 50 years will affect grazing（放牧）animals such as bison and cattle in the Great Plains.

    “Bison are one of our most important conservation animals and hold a unique role in grasslands in North America,” Craine said. “In addition to their cultural and ecological significance, they’re economically important. There are about half a million bison in the world.” Craine analyzed a data set of 290,000 weights, ages and sexes collected from 22 bison herds（兽群）throughout the U. S. The organizations kept annual records of each animal in the herd and matched the data with the climates of the sites.

    Based on differences in sizes of bison across herds, Craine found that during the next 50 years, future generations of bison will be smaller in size and weigh less. Climate is likely to reduce the nutritional quality of grasses, causing the animals to grow more slowly.

    “We know that temperatures are going to go up,” Craine said. “We also know that warmer grasslands have grasses with less protein（蛋白质）, and we now know that warmer grasslands have smaller grazers. It all lines up to suggest that climate change will cause grasses to have less protein and cause grazers to gain less weight in the future.”

    Craine said the results of climate change in coming decades can already be seen by comparing bison in cooler, wetter places with those in warmer, drier places. For example, the average 7-year-old male bison in South Dakota weighed 1, 900 pounds, while an average 7- year-old male bison in Oklahoma — a warmer place — weighed 1, 300 pounds.

    “The difference in temperature between those two states is around 20 degrees Fahrenheit, which is about three times the projected increase in temperatures over the next 75 years,” Craine said. “It is a clear indicator that long-term warming will affect bison and is something that will happen across the U.S. over the next 50-75 years.”

    1.In the next fifty years, researchers Say, bison will ________.

    A. become smaller and lighter

    B. disappear in the Great Plains

    C. play a less important part

    D. adapt to different climate changes

    2.The underlined word “grazers” probably refers to ________.

    A. the researchers B. the grasses

    C. the bison D. the protein

    3.What is the main reason for the bison to become smaller?

    A. The deceasing amount of grass.

    B. The rising temperature.

    C. The rising number of bison.

    D. The loss of weight.

    4.Paragraph 5 is written as an example to show ________.

    A. Craine’s prediction will come true in 50 years

    B. bison are smaller than in the past

    C. the nature balance is being destroyed

    D. bison’s size is linked with different climate

    When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm and, in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its problems too.

    One big disadvantage is money---it costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of travelling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.

    Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment. Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising---and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.

    Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens(十几岁) or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.

    1.What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?

    A. Staying on the farm

    B. Moving to the countryside

    C. Leaving home for the city

    D. Running away from the school

    2.Which of the following is true about the writer?

    A. He is very old now. B. He is in good health.

    C. He prefers driving a car. D. He lives in the city now.

    3.In the passage, the writer tries to _______.

    A. express his opinions about way of life

    B. describe his life in the countryside

    C. show an interest in the outside world

    D. persuade the reader to live in the city

    4.How is the passage mainly developed?

    A. By inferring B. By comparing

    C. By listing examples D. By giving explanations

    Taking exams in a large group setting can be stressful for students and for the staff members who are watching over them.

    When classrooms are crowded and desks are close together, cheating might be tempting.

    One university in Thailand came up with an anti-cheating hat that makes it almost impossible for students to see other students’ papers. A photo of the students wearing the anti-cheating hats made its way to the Internet, and the university was criticized for making students wear those ridiculous looking homemade hats. The hats were made by stapling pieces of paper onto a headband, one to each side of the head.

    After being criticized, senior academic staff at Kasetsart University in Bangkok, Thailand, released a statement saying that the hats idea came from students. They said that in a bid to prevent cheating they asked the students for ideas on how to prevent cheating in the upcoming exam, which was being taken by almost one hundred students. Students came up with different ideas, then the paper hat idea was selected by them as the most suitable.

    The university claimed that no one was forced to use the hat, but they all chose to do so. “When wearing the hat during the exam, students felt more relaxed, ”Nattadon Rungruangkitkrai, a lecturer at the university said. “It was not meant to indicate that Kasetsart students often cheat on exams. I apologize if the photo makes other people look at my students in a negative way, ”Rungruangkitkrai added.

    1.According to the text, in which case cheating will become easy?

    A. When desks are crowded into a classroom.

    B. When students are too stressful.

    C. When too many students are sitting in a classroom.

    D. When the staff members who are watching over them are not responsible.

    2.Why was the university criticized?

    A. The university was too strict.

    B. The university made students wear strange looking hats.

    C. The university prevented students cheating.

    D. The students chose to use the hats.

    3.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

    A. The students are not forced to wear the hats when taking the exam.

    B. The senior academic staff at the university made the paper hat idea.

    C. The students felt more stressful when wearing the hat during the exam.

    D. The students don’t like wearing the hats when taking the exam.

    4.What’s the best title of the text?

    A. How to make the anti-cheating hat

    B. Anti-cheating hat was criticized

    C. Anti-cheating hat was considered the most suitable choice

    D. Anti-cheating hat
