A
There’re many rich people in this part of the country because gold was once found here. I was only a small child at the time but I can remember everything well.
Men came from everywhere to look for gold. They bought all the ground near the banks of the river. They made big holes in it, trying to find more gold. Some men found a lot, others found none at all.
Peter Fullerton was one of those who came to find gold. He bought nearly the last piece of ground. It was a long way from the river so no one else wanted to buy it. But Peter paid all his money for it. He worked hard month after month until the ground was full of holes. But Peter found nothing.
Then one night, just before he was going to leave, it began to rain. It rained for three days and three nights. When at last the rain stopped, Peter came out of his small wooden house and looked at his piece of ground. It didn’t look the same now. The holes were not there any more. But everywhere there were small plants.
“There may be no gold here,” Peter said, “but this ground is rich. I can grow things here. I can grow flowers and I can sell them. The women in this town have money now. They have beautiful houses and they will want to put flowers in their houses. If I can grow good flowers here, I will make money, too.” So he did. And soon his piece of ground was covered with beautiful flowers. Later he was able to buy more fields until he owned all the ground near the river.
“I was the only man who found true gold here,” he often said. “The others took their gold out of the ground and went away. But my gold is still here.”

B
How much living space does a person need? What happens when his space is too small? Scientists are doing experiments on rats to try to determine（测定） the effects of overcrowded conditions on man. Recent studies have shown that the behavior of rats is greatly affected by space. If rats have enough living space, they eat well, sleep well, and have more babies. However, if their living conditions become too crowded, their behavior patterns（行为方式） and even their health change. They cannot sleep and eat well., and there are clear signs of fear and tension. The more crowded they are, the more they bite each other and even kill each other. Thus for rats, there is relationship between population and violence(暴力). Is this a natural law for human society as well? Is enough space important for human survival?
（ ）31. This passage is mainly about _______.
A. population and living conditions B. interesting experiments on rats
C. a natural law for human society D. living space and behavior

When trouble comes, what do we usually do? We pick up our mobile phones and call for help. That’s easy, right? People with mobile phones often think so. But in an emergency, many people are unable to call for help. Floods and earthquakes come suddenly. Wars can hurt or kill. Successful communication can sometimes mean the difference between life and death.
Meet French NGO Telecoms Sans Frontiers (Telecommunications Without Borders). Its goal is to use mobile communication technology to help people in need. TSF began in 1998. First, they opened their main base in France. Then in 2003, they started another base in Nicaragua. The next year they opened their Thailand base. Now if a disaster hits anywhere in the world, TSF is ready. They can send workers to a disaster area to set up communication systems within 24 hours.
Once TSF arrives at a disaster area, they set up telephone connections and Internet service. They share these services with other international helpers on the scene such as the UN or UNICEF. Mobile communication helps these other volunteers do their jobs better.
TSF also offers three-minute phone calls to local people who need to contact their loved ones. These communications can allow people to get together again after being separated(分开). Often the callers are moved to tears after speaking to a relative found to be still alive. Then the families can decide on a safe course of action for their family members.
Since 1998, TSF has helped thousands of people in many countries. Most of the TSF workers does not get paid with money, but the satisfaction(满足感) of helping others and changing lives is often a great reward.
