Mount Everest is located in the Himalayas, on the border of Nepal and Tibet．At 29, 035 feet above sea level, it's the tallest peak in the world．Climbers first successfully reached the peak in 1953．Since then, thousands of people have climbed Everest, leaving their trash along its trails（痕迹）．Those include ropes, tents and empty oxygen bottles, which climbers use to breathe more comfortably at the mountain's high altitudes．
The mountaineers plan to bring down 11,000 pounds of garbage from Everest this spring．This is the peak climbing time before the summer monsoon（季候风） season begins．Expedition members will receive $ 1．4 for every kilogram of trash they carry down the mountain．
Eco Everest Expedition organized the cleaning expedition．This is the fourth year it has been held．Apa, an experienced Nepalese guide who has climbed Everest 20 times since 1989, is the leader of the team．"I want to do this for my country, my people and for Everest," Apa says．
Apa says that when he climbed Everest for the first time, the trail to the summit was covered in ice and snow．But now the path contains rocks with deep cracks from melting ice．This makes expeditions up the mountain much more but now lives in the United States, has dangerous．Apa, who grew up in the foothills of Everest campaigned for saving the mountain from the effects of global warming and other issues．

In 2011 electric cars will be hitting the road in the United States．The cars may help Americans kick the oil habit one day．These quiet, environmentally friendly, battery-powered vehicles can be charged in a wall plug（插头）,like a giant power tool．
The world’s population will jump from 6．8 billion to 9 billion by 2050．The demand for cars will jump with it．The supply of oil won't keep up with the number of cars on the road．
Electric cars aren't perfect just yet．It can take eight hours to charge a car for only 100 miles of driving．And the distance that cars can go changes depending on driving conditions．The Nissan Leaf can go as much as 100 miles or as little as 47 miles on one charge．How far it travels also depends on the weather and traffic．
Price is a problem too． Electric models cost much more than petrol-powered cars．The good news is that electric-car technology is getting better． As it does, the prices of the vehicles are dropping．
The U．S．Department of Energy is paying for at least 10,000 charging stations around the country．Private businesses are also preparing for that．
Richard Lowenthal is the head of Coulomb Technologies, a company in California． He says that his firm will install （安装） about 4,500 charging stations, mostly at office parks and homes． It will cost about $ 3 per charge．"The typical car is parked 23 hours a day．You can charge it while you work and while you sleep," Lowenthal says ．
Carmakers are coming up with other ways that don't require oil to power autos．Cars may run on natural gas．So who knows what will power the car you may be driving in 10 years? Chances are good that it will be something that's clean and easy．
61．How long does it take at least to charge a car for 500 miles?
A．40 hours． B．8 hours．
C．80 minutes D．40 minutes
62．The distance that electric cars can go on one charge is influenced by the following EXCEPT the .
A．driving conditions B．weather C．driver D．traffic
63．We know from the passage that electric cars
A．are affordable
B．produce less noise
C．can reduce traffic pressure
D．can't be charged conveniently
64．What will Coulomb Technologies do for the wide use of electric cars?
A．Make more electric cars ．
B．Pay for many charging stations．
C．Produce more power-saving batteries．
D．Make charging stations convenient．
65．What can be learned from the last paragraph?
A．What kind of car power will be used is uncertain in 10 years
B．It is the electric car that will be driven in 10 years
C．Cars in the future will run on different kinds of oil
D．Cars in the future will still do harm to the environment

Look closely at your hands - are they clean? It doesn't matter how many times you wash your hands, they're still crowded with microbes, which are also called "germs" or " bacteria"． Microbes are everywhere．But don't worry - most microbes don't harm you, and many actually help you stay alive．
Now, scientists say the microbes that live on OUf hands could be useful in a surprising way: fighting crime．
When police visit the scene of a crime, they often look for fingerprints to try to identify the criminal．But according to a recent study, investigators c
