It is only during the last few years that man has generally realized that in the world of nature a balance exists between all forms of life. No living thing can exist by itself: it is a part of a system (体系) in which all forms of life are joined together. If we change one part of the natural order, this will in its turn almost certainly bring about changes in some other part.
The cutting down of forests reduces the supply of oxygen. The killing of weeds and insects by chemicals leads to the wide spread poisoning of animals and birds. The throwing of waste products into the ocean harm to life in the sea, while waste gases change the chemical balance of the atmosphere.
And so we could go on, adding more examples, until in despair (绝望) we might feel like giving up the struggle to control and keep within limits these harmful human activities. Man is very clever at changing the world around him to satisfy his immediate needs, but not so clever at looking far ahead, or at thinking about what the future results of his action might be.
小题1:The first paragraph mainly tells us that __________.
A.everything in nature can’t exist without the help of human beings
B.no living thing can exist naturally
C.all living things in nature depend on each other
D.man has well known the importance of the balance for a long time
小题2:The examples given in the second paragraph are used to prove that __________.
A.it is very important to protect forests
B.there are some living things which can exist all by themselves without change
C.all forms of life belong to a system in which all the part can be changed for one another
D.we cannot change one form of life or matter without disturbing (扰乱) the balance of nature
小题3:In the second paragraph the underlined word “atmosphere” means __________.
A.the production of chemical factoriesB.the gas in the outer space
C.the mixture of gases that surrounds the earthD.the health of the human body
小题4:The third paragraph suggests that __________.
A.man shouldn’t think only about his immediate needs without enough thought on the future results
B.man is very clever in planning his distant future
C.man often feels that he has to give up in despair
D.man is always anxious to control and keep his actives within limits

One day, when I was in high school, I saw a kid named Kyle walking home from school with all his books, I thought to myself, “   11  would anyone bring home all his books for the weekend? He must really be   12 .” As I was walking, I saw several kids running toward him. They ran at him,   13   all his books out of his arms and he fell down in the dirt. His glasses went   14  and landed in the grass.
My heart went out to him. So, I ran over to him.  15  I handed him his glasses, he looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!”
I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it   16  , he lived near me. We talked all the way home. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.
Kyle was the   17  student of our class, one of those guys that really found  themselves during high school. Therefore he had the   18  to prepare a graduation speech. On the graduation day, I could see that he was   19 . So, I patted him on the back and said, “Hey, big guy, you’ll be great!” He looked at me and smiled.
He cleared his throat, and began. “Graduation is a time to   20  those who helped you make it through those   21  years. Your parents, your teachers… but mostly your friends, I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best  22  you can give him.”
I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to   23  himself over the weekend and was carrying his books home. “Thankfully, nothing happened. My friend   24  me from doing the unspeakable.”
Not until that moment did I realize that you should never underestimate(低估) the  25  of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person’s life. For better or for worse.

That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.
As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away any possible robbers(抢劫犯). Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.
Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.
Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck(垃圾车) pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape.
It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.

I once experienced an unforgettable trip to Gloucester to see some of the world’s most beautiful and exciting animals in their own habitat(栖息地), the North Atlantic Ocean.
After a long trip by bus, we got on the ship. After a while, we stopped and everyone began to shout because we saw a humpback whale(座头鲸). It was wonderful. Sometimes, whales came so close to the ship that you thought you could easily touch them.
While we were watching the whales, a guide was giving us some information about them, She told us that we saw only two kinds of whales- 50 foot humpback whales (singing whales) and 70-foot finback whales(the second largest whales on earth). She also said we could easily recognize a whale by its tail because every whale has a different kind of tail just like people have different fingerprints.
They all have names,and on this trip we saw “Salt” and “Pepper”, two whales named by a biologist and a fisherman. They were swimming toghter all the time.
I took twenty-seven photos,but it was very hard to take them because the whales were quick and stayed on the surface of the ocean just for a short time. It was really something. It was one of the chances that a person hardly ever experiences in life, but I had that chance.
