语 篇 提 能
Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
After spending a good Christmas holiday at my grandma's house, my wife Tere and I drove back home.
We were so tired when we arrived home, we left the car in the driveway and decided to unpack it in the morning.
At seven o'clock in the morning, we woke up refreshed. But when we opened the front door, there was no car in the driveway!
Tere and I looked at each other, looked back at the driveway, and looked at each other again. Then she asked this wonderful question: “Well, where did you park the car?”
Laughing, I answered: “Right in the driveway.”
We walked around the block and couldn't find the car. It had been stolen.
We called the police and filed a report that activated (激活) our hightech tracking (追踪的) system.
As time went by, Tere became increasingly upset as she remembered more and more of what had been in the car — our wedding album, family photos from past generations and my wallet, just to name a few things. These were items of little importance to our survival, yet they seemed of major importance at that moment.
Frustrated, Tere asked me:“How can you remain cool when all of these things and our brand new car are missing?”
I said: “Honey, we can have a stolen car and be upset, or we can have a stolen car and be happy. Either way, we have a stolen car. I truly believe our attitudes and moods are choices, and right now I choose to be happy.”
Five days later our car was returned without any of our belongings, and with over $3,000 worth of damage to the car. After I picked up the car from the dealer, I ran into another car, which cost another $3,000 worth of damage.
As I was standing in the driveway looking at the car, kicking myself for hitting the other car, Tere arrived home. She put her arm around me and said:“Honey, we can have a wrecked (坏了的) car and be upset, or we can have a wrecked car and be happy. Either way, we have a wrecked car, so let's choose to be happy.”
I surrendered (放弃) with a hearty laugh and we went on to have a wonderful evening together.

B
A new report says the growing population around the world is harming the environment. More people are using more of the Earth's natural resources than ever before. Experts say poor people around the world will suffer most in the future unless environmental damage is stopped. They say more should be done to balance human and environmental needs.
The world's population is now more than 6,000 million. That number has increased by 100% since 1960. The population is expected to increase to more than 9,000 million by the year 2050. The report says about 2,000 million people lack food security. Water supplies and agricultural lands are heavily used. In 50 years, experts say more than 4,000 million people will be living in countries that can not meet people's daily needs.
The report says all of the expected growth in the world's population will take place in developing countries. The 49 least developed countries are expected to increase by almost 200% in 50 years.
Yet, the UN agency says people in the richest countries use much more of the world's resources than people in developing countries. It says a child born today in the United States, France or Japan will do more harm to the environment during his lifetime than as many as 50 children born in developing countries.
The UN Population Fund says international policies need to be put into effect to improve poor conditions, increase social development and ease pressure on the environment.
