10．The Great Barrier Reef is home to brightly colored fish，eye-catching coral，and swaying seaweed．What else is hiding in the world's largest coral reef？Scientists recently dived into the water to find out．A team of scientists explored the reef，located along Australia's northeastern coast．They also checked out Ningaloo Reef on the country's western coast．The searches turned up hundreds of animal species，including some that may be new to science．Scientists spied worms shaped like trees，big-clawed shrimp and jellyfish．
"It is awe-inspiring to know that so much of what we see has not yet been described，"says Patricia Hendricks，who took part in the expedition．That is a trip with a specific goal．"The reef is truly a beautiful place with so many mysteries．"
Scientists wanted to get a closer look at some of the underwater cities'lesser-known residents-soft coral．Using netted bags and their hands，the scientists searched the reefs．They found about 130types of soft coral that may be new species．A lot is known about hard coral，but soft coral is more of a mystery．The creatures are very diverse，or varied．Some are shaped like bushes or fans．Others are whips that twist with the currents．They grow in rainbow of colors．Despite the variety，some types of soft coral look very similar to one another，"This makes them a challenge to study，and so very little is known about them．"Hendricks told ER News．She and other researchers took samples of the soft coral．The scientists also zeroed in on what was living in and around the coral．They hope to identify the new species．
The reef research isn't done yet．The scientists plan to return to same three spots annually for the next six years．They left 36plastic"houses"stuck to the ocean floor．The scientists hope some of the coral reefs'residents will move into the houses over time．That will make it easier for scientists to study the creatures on future trips．
The scientists'findings could give humans a hand．Some marine life is used in medicine．Researchers can also study how the creatures deal with pollution and climate change．That mightgive scientists ideas on how people could better adapt or change．Knowing what creatures live in oceans is important，scientists say，because on-third of the world's coral reefs are endangered．"If we don't know what is present in the first place，how are we ever going to protect it properly？"asks Hendricks．"Learning about new species is an important step．"

53．What's the main idea of the passage？A
A．Scientists find surprises in the Great barrier Reef．
B．Soft Coral no longer remains a mystery．
C．Scientists left 36plastic houses to the ocean floor．
D．Scientists made explorations to deal with ocean pollution．
54．According to the passage，what makes the study of the soft coral a big challenge？C
A．The diversity of the soft coral． B．Many unknown species．
C．The similar appearance．          D．Various shapes and colors．
55．What does the writer mean by"That might give scientists ideas on how people could better adapt，or change．"（Para.5）？B
A．Ocean species may be of great medical value in the future．
B．A study of ocean creatures'adaptation may assist scientists in their research．
C．Research on ocean creatures will help solve the pollution problem．
D．Studying new ocean species will help improve people's living environment．
56．It can be inferred from the passage thatC．
A．the scientists discovered many ocean species by accident
B．coral reefs in the world are endangered because of climate change
C．the Great Barrier Reef has been attracting more scientists'attention
D．the samples of the soft coral enables scientists to further explore the ocean．

9．The canopy，the upper level of the trees in the rain forest，holds too much of climbing mammals （哺乳動物） of moderately large size，which may include monkeys，cats，civets，and porcupines．Smaller species，including such as nice and small squirrels，are not as common overall in high tropical canopies as they are in most habitats globally．
Small mammals，being warm blooded，suffer hardship in the exposed and uncertain environment of the uppermost trees．Because a small body has more surface area per unit of weight than a large one of similar shape，it gains or loses heat more rapidly．Thus，in the trees，where protection from heat and cold may be scarce and conditions may be changeable，a small mammal may have trouble maintaining its body temperature．
Small size makes it easy to scramble among twigs （嫩枝） and branches in the canopy for insects，flowers，or fruit，but small mammals are defeated，in the competition for food，by large ones that have their own strategies for browsing among tbod-rich twigs．The weight of
an ape hanging below a branch draws the leaves down so that fruit-bearing leaves drop toward the ape's face．Walking or leaping species of a similar or even larger size access the outer twigs either by breaking and gaining the whole branch or by catching hold of hard branches with the feet or tail and picking food with their hands．
Small climbing animals may reach twigs readily，but it is harder for them than for large climbing animals to cross the wide gaps from one tree top to the next that typify the high canopy．A gibbon can hurl itself farther than a mouse can：it can achieve a running start，and it can more effectively use a branch as a springboard （跳板）．The forward movement of a small animal is seriously reduced by the air friction （摩擦） against the relatively large surface area of its body．

68．Which of the following questions does the passage answer？D
A．How is the rain forest different from other habitats？
B．How does an animal's body size influence an animal's need for food？
C．Why does rain forest provide an unusual variety of food for animals？
D．Why do large animals tend to dominate the upper canopy of the rain forest？
69．According to paragraph 2，which of the following is true about the small mammals in the rain forest？C
A．They have body shapes that are adapted to life in the canopy．
B．They prefer the temperature and climate of the canopy to that of other environments．
C．They have difficulty with the changing conditions in the canopy．
D．They use the trees of the canopy for protection from heat and cold．
70．When discussing animal size in paragraph 3，the author indicates thatB
A．small animals require appropriately more food than larger animals do
B．a(chǎn) large animal's size is an advantage in obtaining food in the canopy
C．small animals are often attacked by larger animals in the rain forest
D．small animals and large animals are equally good at obtaining food in the canopy
71．According to the last paragraph，what makes jumping from one tree crown to another difficult for small mammals？A
A．Air friction against the body surface．
B．The thickness of the branches．
C．The dense leaves of the tree top．
D．The inability to use the front feet as hands．

8．Are you stressed out，scared or worried all the time？Do you avoid going to certain places，seeing friends or doing certain things because of your worries？Do your worries keep you awake at night？If you've answered yes，you may be suffering from anxiety．
Anxiety is a normal and necessary part of life．Anxiety is your brain's way of telling you about danger．It is anxiety which helps you jump out of the way if a car is speeding towards you．But if it gets out of hand，anxiety can get in the way of your getting on with life and can become a real problem．If this is the case for you，treatment may be a helpful way for you to get your anxiety under control．
Anxiety is a normal part of life．Some people may feel uneasy if moving to a new place and some may get overly anxious in certain situations．There are lots of reasons for this．One main reason is after a stressful thing which has happened in your life．So，if you are involved in a car crash，it's quite likely that you will be more worried than other people around cars and driving．
Being anxious also probably runs in families．If your parents suffer from anxiety then you are more likely to be anxious too．This is probably partly due to genetics，and partly because of how things are when you're growing up．
Even though people don't talk about it much，anxiety is one of the most common mental health problems．About 1in 4people will have an anxiety problem at some time in their life．
If you have an anxiety problem it's hard for other people to understand why something that doesn't worry them，like being in a crowd of people，can be so scary for you．This can make you feel separated and lonely，as may become worse and worse．
The good news is there are lots of excellent treatments available for anxiety．These include taking therapies （療法） and drugs．

67．Which of the following statements is true about，anxiety？C
A．With anxiety you are far away from traffic accidents．
B．It's abnormal for people to get too anxious after a stressful thing．
C．Almost everybody has a certain degree of anxiety in certain situations．
D．When you feel stressed out，scared or worried，you are surely suffering from anxiety．
68．Which of the following reasons for anxiety is NOT mentioned in the passage？A
A．Illness．            B．Experience．
C．Genetics．           D．Environment．
69．What can we infer from the fifth and sixth paragraph in the passage？B
A．Anxiety is the most common mental health problem．
B．Those suffering from anxiety need others'understanding badly．
C．About a quarter of the population are suffering from anxiety now．
D．Once you suffer from anxiety，you'd better seek for medical treatment．
70．The author will most probably talk aboutC following this passage．
A．what is about anxiety          B．what causes anxiety
C．how to handle anxiety          D．when anxiety becomes serious．

7．There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind．She hated everyone，except her（36）A boyfriend．He was always there for her．She told her boyfriend，"If I could only see the world，I would （37）B you．"

6．How often do you let other people's nonsense change your mood？Do you let a bad driver，impolite waiter，rude boss，or an insensitive employee（36）Dyour day？
One day I was in a taxi and we headed（37）Dthe airport．We were driving in the（38）Blane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us．My taxi driver slammed on his（39）C，slid sideways，and at the very last moment our car stopped and （40）C the other car by just inches!The driver of the other car looked around and started（41）D at usMy taxi driver just（42）Cand waved at the guy．And I mean he was really（43）A．So I asked，"Why did you just do that？This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!"This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call"The Law of the Garbage Truck"．
He explained that many people are like garbage trucks．They run around full of（44）C，full of frustration，full of anger，and full of disappointment．As their garbage（45）Bup，they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on（46）C．Don't take it personally；Just smile，wave，wish them well，and move on．
Believe me．You'll be（47）B．Don't take their garbage and（48）Dit to other people at work，at home，or on the streets．Life's too short to wake up in．the morning with（49）D．The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what's（50）B in your life，Roy Baumeister，a psychology researcher from Florida State University，found in his extensive research that you（51）Abad things more ofter than good things in your life，you store the bad memories more easily，and you（52）Athem more frequently．
Therefore，love the people who treat you right and ignore the ones who don't．Life is ten percent what you make it and  ninety percent how you（53）Bit!
When you follow"The Law of the Garbage Truck"，you take back control of your life!You make room for the good by（54）A go of the bad．Have a marvelous，garbage-free day!The seeds you plant today（55）D the harvest you will reap tomorrow．

3．The best selling children's book，Pipilu Sending You 100Lives，has been adapted into a homonymous play that will be put on for the first time next March and tour around 50cities in China．
The book was adapted by the Hangzhou based Star Dream Factory．
"We don't want to descend to the average children's dramas that are overly eager to please the kids，"said Huang Qin，director of Star Dream Factory．"We want to provide something practically useful and mystically entertaining．"
The original book by Chinese children's book writer Zheng Yuanjie focuses on safety tips for kids．With Zheng's usual candor and simplicity，the book avoids sugar-coating reality．Instead，it illustrates the potential dangers in everyday life and provides possible solutions．
Zheng recalled that when he saw his new-born baby in the hospital，the first thought that hit him was to do his utmost to guarantee his son's safety．
"Safety is of the greatest importance to a human being，"said Zheng．"If the person is gone，nothing else will matter．"
According to Zheng，there is no preaching or soapboxing in his book．He said that he just wanted to talk and tell the plain truth to the children in an easily understandable way．
This line of thought will be echoed in the theatrical reproduction，said director Guo Yan．She also said that the play will place emphasis on multimedia effects and the interaction with the families．
"Theatre may not ensure the children a path to professional esteem and better jobs in society，but it does have the power to give them strength （at heart），"said Huang Qin．
Huang also calls for consistent attention to child safety，pointing out the lack of universal education and effective legal channels．
The show is expecting an estimated audience of more than 100，000people during its domestic tour in the upcoming year．

2．At our fellow WSJ's blog，The Wallet，there's a challenging Q & A with the authors of a new book called Smart Girls Marry Money，a satirical self-help book which has a serious mission-to get women and men to talk more about marriage and finances．
The book came into being when the two working-mom authors，F(xiàn)ord and Drake，M．D．，met while picking up their young children from preschool．They noticed that the moms who were able to spend the most time with their kids were the"moms who hadn't necessarily taken their careers seriously and married someone with money，"said Dr．Drake in the interview．"It became a joke that if we were smart，we would have married for money．"
The authors aren't saying that every woman should desire to marry a rich guy．But they argue that marriage shouldn't just be about love-it should also be an economic partnership （as marriage traditionally was for centuries）．Women and men should be more frank about marriage and money，instead of entering marriage starry-eyed without considering the financial future．
Dr．Drake，in the interview，also asserted that women shouldn't abandon their careers，in case of a spouse's illness or divorce．"It's an important possession，"she said．（The full Q & A can be found here．）
The interview struck a chord for me：I happen to know quite a few women，especially back in New York，for whom the net worth of their potential spouses or at least their earning potential-was an important factor in determining suitability for marriage．I'm not saying these women married solely for money，but it was a key consideration．Now，after having children-or in some cases，after marriage none of these women work．
Readers，do you know women or men who have married for money？How important，honestly，were financial considerations when evaluating your partner？

1．One of the best-known American writers of children's books is Alfred Strong，or Doctor Strong，as he is better known to readers everywhere．Now，an art show called"Doctor Strong From Then to Now"is travelling around the United States．The pictures and drawings show the history of Doctor Strong．
Doctor Strong first became famous almost fifty years ago when his first children's book was published．Since then，he has written forty-five books that have sold more than one hundred million copies around the world．
Doctor Strong's books are known for their easy use of words and colorful，hand-drawn pictures．These drawings bring life to his imaginary creatures．The Cat in the Hat，Horton the Elephant，The Grinch Who Stole Christmas，and hundreds of others．
The San Diego Museum，in California，organized the art show．It included about three hundred Doctor Strong's original（最早的） drawings and some of his writings．
Most of Doctor Strong's books，although written in a funny way，have serious messages．For example，in Mc Elligot's Pool，he describes the danger of pollution．He discusses the arms race（軍備競賽） in The Butter Battle Book，written in nineteen eighty-four．
Doctor Strong is almost eighty-four years old now．He says he never planned to write stories just for children．He says he writes stories that interest people of all ages．He says he uses easy words so that everyone，even a child，can understand．
