More than two thirds of the world's polar bears will be wiped out by 2050，according to a shocking new study. By then，scientists say，global warming will have melted 42 percent of the Arctic sea ice. By 2100，only a very few of these important creatures will be left.

The report has been produced by the US Geological Survey. The scientists have publicized their findings in the hope of influencing US Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne，who has been asked to put polar bears on the US endangered species list.

Polar bears depend on floating sea ice as a platform for hunting seals，which are their main food. Without enough ice，polar bears would be forced to go onto the land，where they are poorly skilled hunters，and would be unlikely to adapt to the life on the land in time. Experts say few little bears would survive and the stress could make many females unable to get pregnant.

The team of American and Canadian scientists spent six months studying bears，on the ground，from spotter planes and in the lab，using computer models.

Some team members fear the result is even worse for the bears than what their report says. They say the Arctic is warming faster than anywhere in the world and much faster than their computer had been forecasting. Satellite observations have showed that the ice has decreased to an all－time low.

However，not everyone in the scientific community believes that global warming is happening on such an alarming scale. Another investigation has found that polar bears are still being hunted by wealthy “sportsmen” who want their skins and heads. At least ten international companies offer bear－h(huán)unting trips.

1.What do we know about Dirk Kempthorne according to the passage?

A．He is an animal scientist.

B．He is a protector of animals working for the US government.

C．He was asked to put polar bears on the US endangered species list.

D．He offered to put polar bears on the endangered species list.

2.Why will polar bears die out if there is not enough sea ice?

A．Because polar bears can't catch enough food without ice.

B．Because polar bears eat ice when they feel thirsty.

C．Because polar bears will be easily found by hunters without ice.

D．Because most female bears are used to giving birth under ice.

3.After a six－month study，some scientists fear that ________．

A．there is something wrong with their computers

B．polar bears will disappear even faster than they ever expected

C．their computer models are not as accurate as they expected

D．global warming will destroy everything in the Arctic

4.What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph?

A．The forecast about the future of polar bears is not correct.

B．Global warming won't have any effect on hunting trips in the Arctic.

C．Polar bears are an endangered species as a result of bear－h(huán)unting.

D．People don't pay enough attention to the protection of endangered species.

1. . You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here's how:

1. Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. then decide a good, regular time for studying. 2. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.

2. Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.

3. Make good use of your time in class. 3. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.

4. Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. 4. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.

5. Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so don’t be over worried.

A. There are other methods that might help you with your studying.

Failure is common in our life. No one can avoid them. When we fail in doing something, we often feel very depressing. Sometimes failure can make us lose hearts. So no one are willing to fail. On the contrary, success can bring us sense of pride. If one enjoys his continuous success in his career, he will have confidence to himself. Therefore, failure is the mother of success. A failure doesn’t mean one can never be successfully. Those who are always afraid of failure they will never succeed. In a word, as long as we can get some lessons and experiences from our failure, we’ll be sure to succeed.

Being lonely in the crowd might seem ridiculous. But according to a recent survey, the situation is all too common. Loneliness and other anxiety problems – worrying about life’s pressures – can even lead to self-murder.

An article in China Daily gave no reason for this other than the usual blaming of the post-80s generation. According to a high level official, young people suffering from discouragement are mostly “spoiled and have not been taught to be independent, responsible and express ‘thank-you’.” Well, how do you like that? First, I don’t think China’s youth are exactly spoiled. They certainly have more things than their parents did, but a lot of the money spent on them is for their education including various extra classes.

Discouragement and anxiety are now the fastest growing challenges in modern societies. We sense a lack of close friends who can talk to honestly and openly. In 1985, a US study found that one in ten people did not have such a friend. In 2006, it was one in four. It’s easy to see the connection between loneliness and discouragement. But what actually causes this increasing loneliness?

Surely, with Internet social networking sites such as Kaixin, we have more friends than ever. A new study has shown that the more time teenagers spend in front of computers, the less close they are to friends and family. Kaixin or QQ may be fun but it lacks meaning, compared to personal connections in the real world.

And then there are those endless online games popular with young Chinese but increasingly there are more interesting choices. For example, new sports such as skateboarding are starting to catch on（流行） in bigger cities, as is playing music in a band. These creative hobbies are done in a group and thus friendship can be stronger. Hopefully young people will also be drawn out of the Internet cafes and interactive computer games that in fact fail to recreate a real and interactive experience.

1.According to the high level official, it is easy for teenagers lacking independence and responsibility to _______.

A. become spoiled

B. play endless online games

C. suffer from loneliness and anxiety

D. refuse to express gratitude

2.What does the writer think of the Internet social networking site Kaixin?

A. Open but ridiculous.

B. Honest and responsible.

C. Real and fun.

D. Interesting but meaningless.

3.It can be inferred in Paragraph 3 that _______.

A. it’s now more difficult for people to find close friends to have an honest chat with

B. parents focus mostly on children’s education rather than the personality building

C. young people have no idea of expressing appreciation because of being spoiled

D. teenagers will recreate a real and interactive experience to strengthen friendship

4.According to the text, which of the following can help us avoid being lonely in the crowd?

A. To stay long in Internet cafes.

B. To focus on extra courses.

C. To give up our own hobbies.

D. To play music in a band.

Homework is a major part of going to school: It’s your teachers’ way of evaluating how much you understand what's going on in class. 1. Luckily, you can do a few things to make homework less burden.

Be sure you understand the homework.

Write your homework down in your notebook or day planner if you need to. 2. It’s much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class than to struggle to remember later that night!

Use any extra time in school.

Many schools have study halls that are specifically designed to allow students to study. It’s tempting(誘惑人的) to hang out with friends during study periods or unstructured (松散的) time. 3. .

Take a break.

4. So take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without stretching or relaxing will make you less productive than if you stop every so often. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good idea for most people.

5. .

If you don't finish your homework during school, think about how much you have left and what else is going on that day, and then budget your time. Most high-school students have between 1 and 3 hours of homework a night. If it’s a heavy homework day and it seems like you’ve got an assignment in every subject but gym and lunch, you’ll need to devote more time to homework. It’s a good idea to come up with some kind of homework schedule, especially if you are involved in sports or activities or have an after-school job.

A. And it helps digest important concepts.

B. Once your homework is done, you can check over it if you have extra time.

C. Plan yourself.

D. But the more work you can get done in school, the less you'll have to do that night.

E. Don't be afraid to ask questions about what's expected in your homework.

F. Settle down to homework.

G. Most people's attention spans (跨度) aren't very long.
