For several days I saw little of Mr．Rochester．In the morning he seemed much occupied with business，and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighborhood called and sometimes stayed to dine with him．When his foot was well enough，he rode out a great deal．

     During this time，all my knowledge of him was limited to occasional meetings about the house，when he would sometimes pass me coldly，and sometimes bow and smile．His changes of manner did not offend me，because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them．

     One evening，several days later，1 was invited to talk to Mr．Rochester after dinner．He was sitting in his armchair，and looked not quite so serious．There was a smile on his lips，and．his eyes were bright，probably with wine．As 1 was looking at him，he suddenly turned，and asked me，“do you think I’m handsome，Miss Eyre?’’

     The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it，“No，sir．”

   “Ah，you really are unusual!”

   “Sir，I’m sorry．I should have said that beauty doesn’t matter，or something like that．”

   “No．You have honesty and feeling．There ale not many girls like you．But perhaps I go too fast．But I mean you’re the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to，because you’re sympathetic and give them hope．”

It seemed he had quite a lot to talk to me．He didn’t seem to like to finish the talk quickly．“Don’t be afraid of me，Miss Eyre．”He continued．“You don’t relax or laugh very much．But in time you will be more natural with me，and laugh，and speak freely．You’re like a bird in a cage．When you get out of the cage．You’11 fly very high．Good night．”

    Birds in cities are damaging their health by trying to sing above the noise of urban life．

    New research shows that male birds are trying to compete against traffic and city sounds．They are now singing louder and at higher frequencies，which could harm their vocal cords(声带)．Some birds are choosing to sing at night instead of during the day．This makes them more open to attack and also creates stress and exhaustion．

   “The difference between urban and rural birdsong is becoming so big that the two groups could now be unable to communicate．This could lead to inbreeding(同系交配)and a weak gene poo1．”said Dr Sue Anne Zollinger of the．University of St Andrews．

    According to Zollingar，a bird group with a small gene pool might adapt less quickly to new diseases and could be wiped out．

    A study of the dawn chorus found that birds in Berlin sang up to 14 decibels(分贝)louder than those in the forest．The birds sang loudest on weekday mornings．

“By trying to sing over the sound of the city，birds ale rising vocal injury，”said Zollinger．“All this puts the same strain on a bird’s vocal cords as when a human need to shout to be heard―except that the birds are doing it all day，every day，”she said．

   “Singing under such pressure means birds have less control over the sound they produce．Their songs may lose quality and become more rough―sounding．”said Zollinger．This could make them appear less attractive to female birds．

    Mark Constantine，author of The Sound Approach to Birding，said：“Birdsong is important for our quality of life and has been proved to reduce our blood pressure．When we live in the centre of large，urban areas，we get stressed and it’s extremely good to have birdsong around us．The impact on humans of birdsong is massive．It harms us，as well as the birds，if their songs become louder and simpler．

68．Some birds in cities now choose to sing at night time because____________．

     A．they want to attract more birds of opposite sex

     B．they are more likely to be discovered by their family

     C．they can’t adapt to the loud noises during the daytime

     D．they have to frighten their enemy away

 69．According to the passage，urban and rural birds might not be able to___________．

     A．recognize each other

     B．communicate with each other

     C．1ive with each other

     D．compete against each other

70．It requires greatest efforts for birds in cities to sing on______________．

     A．Monday nights

     B．Wednesday afternoons

     C．Saturday Evenings

     D．Friday mornings

71．According to Dr Sue Anne Zollinger，birds singing louder might eventually lead to ___________．

     A．the harm done to man’s health

     B．the dying out of a species

     C．the serious damage to the bird’s vocal cords

     D．the decrease of the birth rate of a bird group

    I’m usually fairly doubtful about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago．While any of these statements might be true，they are practically impossible to prove scientifically．Still，I was struck by a report which concluded that today’s children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s．In fact，the analysis showed normal children aged 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago．

    Why are America’s kids so stressed? The report gave two main causes：increasing physical isolation(孤独)brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community，among other things―and a growing belief that the word is a more dangerous place．

     Given that we can’t the clock back，adults can still do plenty to help the next generation cope．

     At the top of the list is nurturing(培育)a better appreciation of the limits of individualism．No child is an island．Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress．

To help kids build stronger connections with others，you can pull the plug on TVs and computers．Your family will thank you later．They will have more time for face-to-face relationships，and they will get more sleep．

    Limit the amount of virtual(虚拟的)violence your children are exposed to．It’s not just video games and movies；children see a lot of murders and crimes on the local news．

  Keep your expectations for your children reasonable．Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale．

  Make exercise part of your daily routine．It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids．Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable，but it doesn’t have to ruin your life．

64．Tne author thinks that the conclusions of any research about people’s state of mind are_____．

    Did you turn off your lights from 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm on March 28? Perhaps you invited your parents and neighbors to join the worldwide event―Earth Hour?

    Liao Mingyu，17，from Shenzhen Experimental School，is glad that she and a group of other students from eight high schools in the city jointly(共同)made the event even bigger by inviting more citizens to take part．

    It all started with an idea to design ways of saving energy after Tree-Planting Day．The students，who are all members of the Environmental Protection Union in their own schools，decided to help raise people’s awareness of global warming as the Earth Hour campaign(行动)approached．

    They worked out a detailed plan to make their idea come true．They wrote to local newspapers，residents，companies and even sent an open letter of proposal to the mayor in order to get support from the government．

   “From 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm on March 28，please turn off your lights to save energy and protect our Mother Earth，”the letters said．

    To their great encouragement，a local newspaper published their plan and asked people to get involved(参与)．The mayor even replied to them via the city’s environmental bureau(局)to show his support．“It was a surprise recognition，”said the receiver Lu WaIllin，17，from Shenzhen No 2 High Schoo1．“The government’s support may help our idea be heard by the public．”

    During the Earth Hour，the green activists saw the rewards of their work when they held a night party in a big local communtiy，Meilinyicun in Futian District．A round 1,000 residents turned off their lights and joined the party．At the party，the green activists shared advice about living eco-friendly lives．

    These students have now come up with an even more ambitious(雄心勃勃的)plan．

   “We’ve learned from the Internet that so far only four Chinese cities―Beijing，Shanghai，Hong Kong and Baoding in Hebei―have officially joined in Earth Hour，”Liao said．“We hope that Shenzhen will become the fifth Chinese city to participate next year．”

    Lulu is a brave pet in our shelter．

    As you know，there are a lot of forest fires during the summer season．Many forests are badly  36 by fire each year．Not far from our shelter，a forest caught fire during this hot summer．We were in a heatwave which had been 37 for three days．

    Lulu rushed towards the forest where flames sent out a terrible 38．I no longer had any hope that Lulu would come39 to the shelter．In fact，I was waiting for the firemen to announce his 40  in the forest，when suddenly，a fireman burst into my shelter and 41 me that my dog Lulu had 42 to save four kittens who were trapped by the flames．According to the fireman，Lulu seized the kittens，one by one moving them to a 43 place，I immediately accompanied the fireman the forest to 44 the rescued kittens．When we arrived at the 45 of the incident，we found Lulu was not 46．Then we heard the 47 of a dog came from the forest barking furiously(狂吠)．I 48 it was my dog Lulu．The fireman flowed the tracks of the dog until we found him barking49by the side of an injured fireman who was lying on the ground and desperately 50 rescue．Thanks Lulu，four kittens and a fireman were saved．

    That day，I was very 51 of Lulu for his two heroic 52 toward the kittens and the fireman．Lulu showed much compassion(同情)for both animals 53 him and for a human being who was trying to put 54 the fire with his colleague．
