阅读以下短文，根据各小题的具体要求，简要回答问题。

　　Ordinary people cannot vote which nations should have a seat on the United Nations' Security Council, but they have shown their feelings．

　　By Tuesday afternoon, over 11.5 million people in and outside China had signed an online petition saying Japan should not succeed in its bid for an everlasting seat on the Security Council．

　　The loud call is due to the historical facts in World War Ⅱ．Some Japanese politicians said their country is ready to play a more active role in global affairs, and their country's contribution can no longer be limited to financial aspects．

　　The document by 11.5 million people tells Japan that money alone cannot buy their hearts．

　　A new history textbook that a right-wing Japanese organization has submitted for official agreement goes so far as to paint Japan as a “victim” in World War Ⅱ．Its authors even say that China started all the wars between the two countries．

　　Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi turned down an invitation to a grand party in Moscow on May 9 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the end of War World Ⅱ．Koizumi's absence will do nothing but encourage more probes(追究)into his country's historical baggage．

　　Japanese politicians continue to visit the Yasukuni Shrine．Wartime leader and war criminal Hideki Xojo, as well as five other hanged war criminals, are buried at the shrine．They talk about peace during the visits and ask their Asian neighbors to understand Japanese culture, which requires them to visit Shinto shrines to mark seasonal celebrations．But they don't see the pains that the Japanese invasion brought on other Asian countries．How can a nation sleep with such a history on its conscience? The amount of money Japan gives the United Nations does not necessarily give the country the role in internation alaffairs．Neither will an everlasting seat on the Security Council free Japan from its historical baggage．

1．Find in the passage a word closest in meaning to the underlined word “petition”．

2．What is the purpose of the 11.5 million people who signed the online petition?(回答词数不超过8个)

3．What is the attitude of Japan's Asian neighbors towards its financial help to the United Nations?(回答词数不超过8个)

　　Almost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart(购物手推车)．They will, in a lifetime, push the chrome-plated contraptions many miles．But few will know－or even think to ask－who it was that invented them．

　　Sylvan N．Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937．At that time he was in the supermarket business．Every day he would see shoppers lugging(吃力地携带)groceries around in baskets they had to carry．

　　One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels．The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business．

　　On June 4, 1937, Goldman’s first carts were ready for use in his market．He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving．He couldn’t wait to see them using his invention．

　　But Goldman was disappointed．Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try．

　　After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren’t using his carts．“Don’t you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket?”one shopper replied．

　　But Goldman wasn’t beaten yet．He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try．To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping!Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony(假冒的)customers．

　　As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market．But not only did more people come－those who came bought more．With larger, easier-to-handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before．

　　Today’s shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman’s original model．Perhaps that’s one reason Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937－before the coming of the shopping cart．

1．The underlined words“chrome-plate contraptions”in Paragraph 1 refer to ________．(No more than 3 words)

2．What was the purpose of Goldman’s invention?(No more than 10 words)

3．Why was Goldman disappointed at first?(No more than 10 words)

　　[1]Hello．It’s one of the first words we learn as babies, yet it’s one of the last ones we think to use as adults．That’s unfortunate, because saying hello is more than just saying hello- it is recognition of another’s worth．How might the worlenange – how might we change- if we mastered this word?To find out, I spent one month saying hello to every person I met．Here’s what I’ve learned．

　　[3]Enironments influence friendliness, One study found that people in the city were kiss likely to one hands with a stranger than those in the countryside．And, researehers say plear envirouments generally encourage more smiles and hellos than unpleasant ones, My expenrience was similarl．Whatever the reason, my urban hellos were answered far less often than my rural one Similarly, people in vacation spots, like the Jeros hore, were far friendlier than those hurrying work downtown．

　　[4]It’s a form of universal health insurance．It’s impossible to say hello without smiling And smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure, relieve stress and boost happiness．Apparetly, a smile creates a similar effect in the recipient(接受者)。

　　Beneath the ocean’s surface, an active world surrounds the globe．A lot of spotted fish swim through coral reefs．

　　But time is running out for these underwater treasures．Last month, at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Ad－ministration's coral－reef meeting, researchers warned that 60% of the world's coral could die within the next 25 years．About 27% of the living underwater cities have already been lost．

　　Though some coral formations are similar to lifeless stone, coral is made up of tiny animals called coral polyps．They grow and divide to build coral colonies．their bones are left behind．New corals grow on top, forming reefs．The complex reef ecosystem covers less than 1％ of the ocean floor, yet supports about 25％ of all marine life．An ecosystem is a partnership between living things and their environment．

　　The destruction of coral reefs puts many species at risk of extinction．Some researchers say that at least 1 million species of plants and animals live in the world's reefs．On October 29, scientists said they had discovered new reef species in the waters off Hawaii．

　　Water that is warmer than normal can cause deadly coral bleaching(漂白)．Coral contains tiny algae(藻类)．They give coral its beautiful color．Coral uses the algae to create food and grow．At high temperatures, corals get stressed and release the algae．Without the algae, coral loses its color and starves．The weakened coral becomes more sensitive to sun－light and disease．Last year, warming in the Caribbean Sea bleached more than 90% of the coral on many reefs．

　　But the chosen tree has an important characteristic：a double, rather than a single, top．My wife and her younger brother recalled that both of them once made angels in kindergarten out of toilet-paper rolls, shiny paper and wool, both of which my wife and her brother take pride in．My wile tries arguing that her angel was the lovelier one over the other, but is quickly teased．

　　Need I point out that we're now a man and a woman in our 30s?When we come home, though, we are once again the children, and our parents are parents, and the world returns to its right place when we were kids．But this is the last holiday that we still feel like we are children because ________．I doubt any would-be parents ever feel“ready”to be parents, but this holiday in this house gives me serious anxiety：if“Santa Claus”decorated my wife's tree when she was a child, guess who will do our kid's?

　　There are two factors which determine an individual's intelligence．The first is the sort of brain he is born with．Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others．But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn．So the second factor is what happens to the individual－________．If an individual is disabled environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable．

　　The importance of environment in determining an individual's intelligence can be shown by the case history of the twins, Peter and Mark X．Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same．When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster homes．Peter was raised by parents of low intelligence in a separate community with poor educational opportunities．Mark was raised in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college．He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated(刺激)intellectually．This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence．Mark's I．Q．was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother．Given equal opportunities, Peter and Mark X, having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level．
