4．Our planet Earth is comparatively small，with only about 24，902miles around the equator （赤道）．Its surface area may seem largest at 196，935，000sq．miles，but of this，70% is covered by sea．The actual land surface covers some 57，500，000sq．miles-29% of the total surface area．
Once again，this seems vast until we take into account the largely uninhabited（未居住的）regions such as the huge wastes of the Arctic and Antarctic，the deserts and wetlands．These regions are not always totally uninhabited，but they can usually support only very small populations．
At present there is still enough space on Earth for humans and wildlife，but what of the future？Our world cannot grow any larger，yet the human population keeps growing every year!As of July 2008，there were almost 6.7billion people on the planet，and current estimates （估計） suggest that the population could be as high as 9.1billion by as soon as 2050．
While the birthrate is slowing a little in parts of the Northern Hemisphere（半球），in many other parts of the world，including developing countries，populations continue to grow．This population explosion is responsible for most world environmental problems today； so whether our main concern is to breathe cleaner air，to drink purer water，to eliminate （消除） pollution，to protect wildlife and countryside，to produce more food to eat or to reach a higher standard of living generally，our chances of achieving any of these things become faint as the population increases sharply．The Earth's resources are vast but limited．We have a tendency to look to the short-term，rather than seeing the bigger picture of the future．
This is why it is so important that young people learn about looking after the planet-so that future generations of adults act responsibly with regard to（關于） the environment and create a future that is continuable，both for humans and all the other species with which we share our world．
29．What does the author worry aboutA
A．Whether there is enough space for creatures in the future．
B．The Earth is turning smaller and smaller．
C．How to find ways to live in uninhabited regions．
D．What people will live on in the future．

Do you like spicy food?

What’s your opinion on spicy food? Some people cannot handle even the smallest amount of chili-red pepper-in their dinner while others can’t get enough of it.

Scientists have long been puzzled by why some people love chili while others loathe it. Plenty of research has been done on the subject, dating as far back as the 1970s. Previous results showed that a love of chili is related to childhood experiences, and cultural influences affect our taste buds too. But the latest study has found that a person’s love of spicy food may be linked to his or her personality more than anything else, CBC News reported.

‘We have always assumed that liking drives intake-we eat what we like and we like what we eat. But no one has actually directly bothered to connect these personality traits with intake of chili peppers,’ said Professor John Hayes from Pennsylvania State University, who led the study.

But before you look at the study, you should first know that “spicy” is not a taste, unlike sour, sweet, bitter and salty. It is, in fact, a burning sensation that you feel on the surface of your tongue. This got scientists thinking that maybe a love of spicy food is brought about by people’s longing for thrill, something they usually get from watching action movies or riding a roller coaster.

In the study, 97 participants, both male and female, were asked to fill out questionnaires about certain traits of their personality, for example, whether they like new experiences or tend to avoid risks. They were then given a glass of water with capsaicin, the plant chemical that makes a chili burn, mixed into it.

By comparing the answers to the questionnaire and what participants said they felt about the spicy water, researchers found that those who tended to enjoy action movies or take risks were about six times more likely to enjoy the spicy water.

Interestingly, we used to believe that the reason some people can withstand spicy food is that their tongues have become less sensitive to it. However, this latest study has found otherwise. “It’s not that it doesn’t burn as badly, it’s that you actually learn to like the burn,” Hayes explained.

1.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “l(fā)oathe” in the second paragraph?

A. dislike B. fear

C. put up with D. adapt to

2.What did Professor John Hayes and his team discover from their study?

A. what we eat actually helps to develop our personalities

B. Males are more likely to enjoy spicy food than females

C. Those trying to avoid risks tend to be less interested in spicy food

D. People are wrong to treat spicy as a kind of taste rather than a feeling

3.Why do some people like spicy food according to the recent study?

A. Because their taste buds have become less sensitive

B. Because they love the burning sensation

C. Because they want to challenge themselves

D. Because the more they try spicy food, the less it burns

4.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. What he or she likes to eat mainly decides on his or her personality

B. That a person enjoys spicy food depends largely on the personality

C. His or her childhood experiences decide on his or her personality

D. His or her cultural background decides on his or her personality

Home from the Navy, I started school at Greenville College in my hometown of Illinois. I’d been out of high school for four years, but my high school headmaster, Mr. Gardner, invited me to a Valentine’s day dance party at school. The thought of seeing my former teachers was exciting. So I agreed.

When Friday came, I cleaned up, dressed up and drove to the high school gym. I chatted with my teachers and approached Mr. Gardner to thank him before leaving. Just then, the band started playing and a young girl stood up to sing. One look at and I was crazy—I had never seen such a beautiful girl!

I asked Mr. Gardner who she was, and he answered, “That’s Marilyn Riley, Cut Riley’s daughter.” I was shocked to say the least. They lived just around the corner from me. I walked across the gym floor to introduce myself, “Hi, I’m Jack Joseph.”

“I know who you are,” was her not-too-friendly response.

“Would you like to dance?” I asked. “No! I’m working,” she shot back.

“Can I call you next week for a movie date?” I asked. “No,” was her response.

For the next month I phoned, trying to set up a date. She always had the same answer: No. then one rainy afternoon in March as I was driving home after basketball practice, I saw Marilyn, walking with no umbrella, no raincoat, no hat. I pulled alongside her and asked if she needed a ride, half expecting her to say no. instead, she stepped over the roadside and sat down on the seat next to me.
