Hummingbirds have got their name from the distinct “hum” sound made by their rapidly flapping (拍打) wings．The size of the bird decides the number of flaps it can do．The average lifetime of a hummingbird is 3 or 4 years, but some of them have lived beyond 12 years also．They are unique in many ways．Besides the number of rapid flaps they can do per second, they can also fly backwards.

       Hummingbirds have an amazing sense of assessing the amount of sugar in the nectar (花蜜) they eat．They feed on the nectar of flowers．Hummingbirds do not feed on flowers whose nectar contains less than 10% sugar．Talk about a sweet tooth! As they cannot sustain themselves on nectar alone because of its poor nutritional value, they also feed on insects and spiders, and hummingbird food mixture that one can make at home.

       Attracting hummingbirds to your garden will require a little planning．Plant butterfly bush, mimosa, coral bells, foxglove, morning glory, etc．These flowers attract the hummingbirds due to their high visibility (可見性) and nectar production．Avoid using pesticides (殺蟲劑), as it will not only kill the insects around the flowers, but hurt the hummingbirds as well.

       A common food for these birds is the sweettasting sugar syrup (糖漿)．Hummingbird food ingredients are just two: sugar and water．Take a large clean bowl, pour in it four cups of hot water, and dissolve one cup of table sugar in it．Stir slowly until all sugar has dissolved．

       Hummingbirds, tiny as they are, collect a lot of nutrition．Providing them with hummingbird food mixture made of sugar water is a sure way to get all these beauties humming in your garden.

Hummingbirds will have some little animals for their meal when      .

       A．they can't find any green plants

       B．they can't take in enough nutrition

       C．they are bored with eating nectar

       D．they are too old to fly

In order to attract hummingbirds, you should      .

       A．plan high trees

       B．grow plants with small flowers

       C．grow plants whose flowers are bright in color

       D．grow plants coming into flower in the morning

The main idea of the fourth paragraph is      .

       A．how to prepare food for hummingbirds

       B．where hummingbirds can find delicious food

       C．hummingbirds can't live for long without sugar

       D．hummingbirds like manmade food better than nectar

Move Earth – it’s no science fiction

LONDON – Scientists have found an unusual way to prevent our planet from overheating: move it to a cooler spot. All you have to do is send a few comets (彗星) in the direction of Earth, and its orbit will be changed. Our world will then be sent spinning into a safer, colder part of the solar system.

This idea for improving our climate comes from a group of US National Aeronautics and Space Administration（NASA）engineers and American astronomers. They say their plan could add another six billion years to the useful lifetime of our planet—effectively doubling its working life.

The plan put forward by Dr Laughlin, and his colleagues Don Korycansky and Fred Adams ,needs carefully directing a comet or asteroid so that it passes close by our planet and sends some of its gravitational energy to Earth.

“Earth’s orbital speed would increase as a result and we would move to a higher orbit away from the Sun,” Laughlin said.

Engineers would then direct their comet so that it passed close to Jupiter or Saturn. The comet would pick up energy from one of these giant planets. Later its orbit would bring it back to Earth, and the process would be repeated. In the short term, the plan provides an ideal way to global warming, although the team was actually concerned with a much greater danger. The sun is certain to heat up in about a billion years and so “seriously compromise” our biosphere（生物圈）— by cooking us.

That’s why the group decided to try to save Earth.

The plan has one or two worrying aspects, however. For a start, space engineers would have to be very careful about how they directed their asteroid or comet towards Earth. The smallest miscalculation（誤算）in orbit could fire it straight at Earth—with deadly consequences.

There is also the question of the Moon. As the current issue of Scientific American magazine points out, if Earth was pushed out of its current position it is “most likely the Moon would be stripped away from Earth,” it states. This would greatly change our planet’s climate.

What makes the scientists plan to move Earth?

       A．A few comets are moving to the direction of Earth.

       B．Earth’s working life is coming to an end soon.

       C．Earth will become too hot for mankind to keep alive.

       D．The moon is moving farther and farther away from Earth.

If the plan is successful, Earth will have a working life of ______years.

       A．12 billion B．6 billion   C．18 billion  D．24 billion

What serious problems might the plan cause according to the passage?

       A．The comet might hit Earth and man might lose the moon.

       B．Earth might be moved too far away and man might be frozen to death.

       C．The comet might hit Jupiter or Saturn and never return to Earth.

       D．Earth’s working life might be greatly shortened.

What does the underlined word “compromise” mean?

       A．provide    B．benefit    C．share D．endanger

Could I speak to         is in charge of International Sales please?

       A．who  B．what  C．whoever   D．whatever
