B
Eight-year-old Owen Howkins suffers(遭受) from growth delays(迟缓) and poor eyesight. This means that Owen needs a wheelchair to get around. Not surprisingly, he felt people were staring(盯着看) at him, and that made him very uncomfortable, so he became lonely and even stopped going outside of his house. That, however, was all before Haatchi came into his life!
Haatchi had a very unlucky start to life too. Tied to a railway track when he was just five months old, the dog was hit by a train. The hit injured his tail and a leg so badly that both had to be cut off. Taken to a rescue shelter(救助站), the dog would have probably been killed if his story posted on Facebook had not been seen by Owen’s dad Will. He fell in love with Haatchi and decided to keep him, thinking that they were helping him. It turns out that it was Haatchi who helped them. By always staying at young Owen’s side, he became the boy’s best friend. Slowly Owen liked to go outside. Wherever he goes, the dog follows and protects him. Owen now proudly walks around the neighborhood, showing off his dog and telling anyone willing to listen, Haatchi’s story.
Haatchi’s positive influence on the young boy has not gone unnoticed. In October 2012, the International Fund of Animal Welfare presented him with a special award(奖). The amazing friendship between the two has also been shown in a touching short film called “A Boy and His Dog” by students from the filmmaking class at the University of Hertfordshire. It has won several awards and had almost 2 million views. British best-selling author Wendy Holden has also written about this touching friendship in a heartwarming children’s book, which was released on February 13th and has made Owen and Haatchi better known!

A new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily，it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love(早恋) may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression. The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys，and younger girls are the worst of all.
The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is“loss of self”．According to the study，even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”，this
“loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They won’t tell that to their parents.
Dr Marianm Kaufman，an expert on young people problems，says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up，it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends，attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.
Parents should watch for signs of depression—eating or mood changes—and if they see signs from their daughters or sons，they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young，but only maturity gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.
28．What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Romance is a two-edged sword for adults. B．Parents should forbid their children’s love.
C．Romance is good for young people. D．Puppy love may bring young people depression.
29．Which of the following is more likely to have depression?
A．Careless parents whose children are deep in love.
B．Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness.
C．Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.
D．Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.
30．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．The older a woman is, the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.
B．Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.
C．Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.
D．Parents should help their children to be aware of signs of depression.
31．What’s the author’s attitude towards puppy love?
A．Confused B．Supportive C．Neutral(中立的） D．Disapproving

Tree planting used to be regarded as an effective means of controlling climate change. Perhaps it’s time for us to rethink this practice. Trees pull carbon dioxide or CO2 from the air. This effectively removes CO2 from the atmosphere, making trees an important part of the fight against climate change. But trees only hold onto carbon dioxide as long as they’re alive. Once they die,trees decay (腐烂) and release that CO2 back into the atmosphere.
Recent studies have found that trees around the world are growing faster than ever. Rising atmospheric CO2 is probably driving that rapid growth, said Roel Brienen. High levels of this gas are boosting temperatures, which in turn speeds tree growth in those areas, he added. The faster trees grow, the faster they store carbon. It seems like good news. However, it is known that fast-growing tree species, in general, live shorter lives than their slow-growing relatives.
In order to see whether this is a universal phenomenon, Brienen and his colleagues analyzed over 210,000 individual tree ring records of 110 tree species from more than 70,000 sites worldwide. “By measuring tree rings’ widths one can tell how fast trees grew, while counting rings provides information on tree ages and allows making inferences about trees’ maximum lifespan (寿命).” Brienen explained.
The team also created a computer program that modeled a forest. Early on, it showed that “the forest could hold more carbon as the trees grew faster”, Brienen reported. But after 20 years, these trees started dying and losing this extra carbon again. “We must understand that the only solution to bring down CO2 levels is to stop emitting (排放) it into the atmosphere,” said Brienen.
32. What is the first paragraph mainly about？
A. Why trees against climate change should be rethought.
B. Whether trees will be planted or not.
C. Why the atmosphere can remove carbon dioxide.
D. Where carbon dioxide or CO 2 is.
33. Why are trees growing faster than ever according to recent studies？
A. They give off and store lots of CO 2 . B. They belong to fast-growing species.
C. Rising atmospheric CO 2 may help them. D. The surrounding trees may affect them.
34. According to tree rings’ widths, we can know a tree’s _______.
A. growth speed B. height C. age D. top lifespan
35. What might be talked about in the following paragraph？
A. Why the team founded the computer program.
B. Why the faster trees grow, the longer they live.
C. How to make the old trees live a little longer.
D. How to deal with dying trees emitting their extra carbon.

How to deal with your homework
Write it down. 36 Make a note on your notebook. Always be sure to write down any homework for school so you won’t forget anything.
Create a homework station. Find somewhere comfortable and quiet to work. 37 It will take twice as long to get the homework done. Shut off your cell phone, log off (退出）your computer(unless you will need it for your homework) and close the door.
Do homework as early as possible. Don’t leave homework to die last minute. 38 The earlier you start your homework, the sooner you will finish! Do all your homework as early as you can, so you don’t have a pile of (一堆）homework the next day.
39 Think about how long it will take you to complete each homework subject. For example: English－ten minutes, science－ten minutes, math－forty minutes, history－twenty minutes.
Treat yourself. You can easily get tired by sitting through an hour or two of homework without stopping. Once you finish homework for a subject, take a small break. Just make sure it’s quick(no more than 15 minutes). Do not turn on the TV, or you’ll never go back and finish your homework. 40

B. Start as soon as you get home.
C. Start your hardest homework.
D. Never do your homework in front of the TV.
