It is widely acknowledge that cities with some kind of functioning ecosystems make for better place for humans to live. More plants and animals in cities make for happier, healthier people.

A study conducted on green spaces in Sheffield, England, for instance, revealed that the greater the biodiversity（生物多样性）, the greater the psychological well-being（健康）of the city’s citizens. In Paris, researchers found that getting citizens to take part in day-long activities involving urban wildlife opened their eyes to the natural world for a time, at least.

Few cities have been associated with urban ecology for as Berlin. “Slow economic recovery after the Second World War meant that reconstruction would take a long time. This provide local ecologist with the ideal conditions to develop an ambitious ecological research program in the bombed-out wastelands of West Berlin,” said Jens Lachmund, a sociologist at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands.

The pioneering work in Berlin had several consequences, especially the formation of significant natural spaces within the city, such as the Sudgelande Nature. “Berlin has indeed benefited a lot from being a case study in urban ecology,” said Lachmund.

The recent research conducted by Mark Goddard, a biologist at the University of Leeds, and his colleagues confirmed the important of natural space within an urban setting. Goddard and his team conducted a striking global analysis of bird and plant diversity, quantifying the influence of urbanization on levels of biodiversity around the world. “Functioning urban ecosystems will be extremely important to human health and well-being,” said Goddard.

Cities take up just 3% of the land surface area, yet according to the most recent figure from the United Nations, some 3.6 billion people (just over 50% of the global population) now live in urban areas. By 2050, this figure is expected it rise to 6.3 billion. Without animals and plants to keep us company, it is a dark future.

1.The findings in Paragraph 2 are mentioned to explain the between_____.

A. citizens and their well-being

B. green spaces and urban wildlife

C. Urban ecology and citizens’ well-being

D. Functioning ecosystems and the natural world

2.What would be Goddard’s attitude towards Berlin’s work?

A. Cautious. B. Negative.

C. Uncaring. D. Admiring.

3.The author uses figures in the last paragraph to show______.

A. The negative effect of over population.

B. The important of urban ecosystems.

C. The serious problems of city life.

D. The rapid growth of urban areas.

4.Which of the following can be the best text?

A. Should more people live in urban areas?

B. Should Berlin have more natural spaces?

C. Should cities be for animals and plants too?

D. Should the global population be controlled now?

Pete Sparks was a sensitive (敏感的) boy. So sensitive that even his hair was ticklish (怕痒的). You only had to touch his hair a little bit and he would start laughing. When this ticklish laughter started, no one could make him stop.

Pete tried everything to control his ticklishness, but nothing worked. So he began to feel sad for being different.

One day in the street, he met a special clown. The clown was very old and could hardly walk, but when he saw Pete in tears, he went to cheer him up. It didn’t take long to make Pete laugh. Later Pete told him about his ticklish problem, and he asked the clown how such an old man could carry on being a clown.

“I have no one to take my place,” said the clown. “I have a very serious job to do.” Pete looked at him, surprised. “Come, I’ll show you,” said the clown. So the clown took Pete to many hospitals full of children who were sick. As soon as they saw the clown, their faces changed completely and lit up with a smile. Their short while spent with the clown changed everything for them. That day was even more special, because in every show Pete’s laughter would end up with the kids lying on the floor, dying with laughter. When the visit came to an end, the old clown said to Pete, “Now do you see why I can’t retire (退休), even at my age?”

That was how Pete became a clown, and took the special old man’s place. From that day on, the fact that Pete was different actually made him happy, thanks to his special gift (天赋).

1.Pete wanted to change because he wanted to _____.

A. make a difference

B. just be a normal boy

C. make everyone happy

D. just be a special clown

2.The clown took Pete to the hospitals in order to _____.

B. encourage him to be a clown

C. show him the meaning of his job

D. know whether Pete had told a lie

3.What does the story teach us?

A. Practice makes perfect.

B. Everyone is born useful.

C. Well begun is half done.

D. Where there is life, there is hope.
