It seems there's nowhere left to run from the microplastic (微塑料的) pollution. A small pilot study recently took microplastics from one of Europe's most distant places, the French Pyrenees mountains, and found as many microplastics in the soil as you might expect from a big city like Paris.
The reason? The wind. Researchers now fear that our planet's winds can pick up microplastics from about anywhere and transport them around the world, sometimes in large quantities. "We'd kind of expected it in a city getting blown around," said Steve Allen from the University of Strathclyde in the UK, one member of the team. "But way up there? We expected to find some," he said. "We didn't expect to find so many."
Microplastics are pieces smaller than a fifth of an inch that have broken down from larger pieces of plastic. The forces of nature don't distinguish (区分) between materials like stones and rocks, and plastics. Wind and waves hit plastics and break them down just the same, making them into dust that can then get swept up by the gentle wind and into the atmosphere. It's a continuing environmental concern, as more and more microplastics find their way into our food and air.
The fact that microplastics can be found in large numbers even in distant places is a sign that is has become a global pollution problem. Steve Allen and his team set up collectors 4,500 feet up in the mountains for five months to trap plastic particles (粒子) as they fell to the Earth. The team found that an average of 365 plastic particles fell on their square meter collector daily. This included bits from plastic bags, plastic film and packaging material, among other plastic sources. Many of these materials were small enough to be breathed in without even realizing it. They're in the air, and they're everywhere.
(1)、What did Steve Allen think of the finding?A、Interesting. B、Boring. C、Surprising. D、Disappointing.(2)、What can we learn from paragraph 3?A、How the microplastics come into being. B、How the wind spreads the microplastics. C、How the microplastic pollution appears. D、How the wind makes the pollution serious.(3)、What do we know about the plastic particles?A、It is difficult to collect them. B、They all come from big cities. C、They are part of the air we breathe. D、It is impossible to know their source.(4)、What is the text mainly about?A、Plastics have been found in the distant areas. B、Plastics are proved to do great harm to the soil. C、The microplastic pollution is worse in big cities. D、Wind is carrying microplastics around the world. -

Have you ever wondered how your favorite NBA team received its famous name? All NBA teams have an interesting story or a history behind their names. Some of the names reflected the city's culture or history, others came from previous owners and many were selected through "Name the Team" contests.
For teams like the Los Angeles Lakers and the Utah Jazz, the names were not always a reflection of the city. Even though Los Angeles has no lakes, the Lakers name has been a city treasure for almost 40 years. Before going to Los Angeles, the team originated in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In 1947, team officials changed the name to the Lakers to reflect the Minnesota State's nickname, "Land of 10,000 Lakes". The team name went unchanged after moving to Los Angeles in 1960.
Because the Utah's team originated in New Orleans, Louisiana, it was called the Jazz. In 1974, New Orleans club officials chose the name to represent the city for its reputation as the "Jazz Capital of the World". The name stayed with the team even after finding a new home in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1979.
The original owner of the Chicago Bulls, Richard Klein, named the team the Bulls. He picked the name because a fighting bull is relentless and never quits. Klein, who founded the club in 1966, believed these qualities were necessary for a championship team and hoped his Chicago athletes would live up to the team name. The Bulls, the winner of the six NBA championships, has definitely followed the belief.
In 1967, the Indiana Pacers selected their team name in a different way from most other teams. Their decision was based on what they wanted to accomplish in the NBA. Team officials chose the Pacers name because the organization wanted to set the "pace" in professional basketball.
(1)、Why is the Los Angeles' team named "the Lakers"?A、The name was selected from a "Name the Team" contest. B、It was named after a city treasure, which had a long history. C、The name shows that Los Angeles is a city with various lakes. D、The team got this name in another state which had a lot of lakes.(2)、Which of the following refers to the "Jazz Capital of the World"?A、New Orleans. B、Salt Lake City. C、Los Angeles. D、Minneapolis.(3)、Why did Richard Klein name the Chicago's team the Bulls?A、He had guessed the success of the team. B、Chicago was then a city famous for fighting bulls. C、People in Chicago used to like watching bullfighting. D、He wished the team to have the qualities of fighting bulls.(4)、What's the best title for the text?A、The Long History of NBA Teams B、Stories Behind the Names of NBA Teams C、Excellent Qualities of NBA Team Officials D、Interesting Stories About Some NBA Players -

I was walking along the road to school one day and I met my friend Bill. He suggested that we skip school and go to the movies. I refused as my dad was very fierce and strict. After much persuasion, I gave in.There was a Spielberg movie Jurassic Park and I was a fan.
So we set off to the movies together, bought our tickets, popcorn and drinks and settled down comfortably. As we were early, the lights were still on. We watched people come in groups, families and there were couples too. Some of them looked like school students playing truant(逃学)like us.
As I turned around, I caught a glimpse of my uncle Andy and aunt Jane walking in. I sank into my seat quickly to avoid being spotted. I signaled to Bill that there was someone I didn't want to see, but Bill made it more obvious by turning around and asking "Who? And where?" loudly. It made me sit even lower in my seat.
To make things worse, they came and sat in the row behind us and were saying to each other how I would have loved to come to this movie as I adored Spielberg. They were even commenting about the students playing truant. Soon the movie began and I was glad when the lights were turned off but I didn't enjoy the movie at all. So,I sat there like an astronaut, watching over the front seat. Every now and then I would sneak a peek at(偷看一下) my aunt and uncle. I was sure they were looking at me.

When Tony took up running as a hobby, he was 42 years old. Now 42 years later he's a national champion and a world record holder.
He never imagined at the age of 84 this is where he'd be, but then he doesn't meet many people in their 80s who are out training four times a week.
"I can see it's a bit unusual, yes. But it's been my life, " he told the reporter.

"I can't let my heart get in the way of my training. When I am sprinting, I have to give it my absolute all. My heart is the last thing on my mind." he said.
He trains every other day, dances and plays hockey and he recently cuts down on alcohol and chocolate. He said, "I've heard alcohol can lead to dementia and I don't want that. I've cut down to one glass of wine every other day. I now have to stay as fit as I can be to keep up my lifestyle."

It was the day of the big cross-country run.Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route(路线) through thick evergreen forest.
I looked around and finally spotted David,who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence.He was small for ten years old.His usual big toothy smile was absent today.I walked over and asked him why he wasn't with the other children.He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run.
What was wrong?He had worked so hard for this event!
I quickly searched the crowd for the school's coach and asked him what had happened."I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him," he explained uncomfortably."I gave him the choice to run or not,and let him decide."
I bit back my frustration(懊恼).I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing.After making sure that David could run if he wanted,I turned to find him coming towards me,his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward.
David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children,but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid.He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing.That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team.It just took him longer—that's all.David had not missed a single practice,and although he always finished his run long after the other children,he did always finish.As a special education teacher at the school,I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
We sat down next to each other,but David wouldn't look at me.

The amount of plastic pollution in the oceans is rapidly increasing.This is problematic,as at least 700 kinds of ocean animals—including sharks,whales,seabirds and turtles—can become caught in the stuff or mistake it for a tasty snack.
While we know that some ocean animals seem to catch plastic because it looks like jellyfish or some other food sources,less research has been carried out into what plastic smells like to ocean animals.But now,a study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has found the coating(涂层) that naturally builds up on ocean plastics causes the rubbish to give off the smell of food.
The researchers took 15 turtles,each around five months old,and placed them in a lab aquarium.They then piped in smells of clean water,clean plastic,turtle food,and plastic that had been soaking in the ocean environment for five weeks.The turtles showed no reaction to the smells of clean water or clean plastic.But when facing ocean soaked plastic or turtle food,they stuck their noses out of the water and showed increased activity.
"This finding is important because it's the first proof that the smell of ocean plastics causes animals to eat them," said Dr Kenneth J Lohmann,who took part in the study."It's common to find a turtle with its stomach full of plastic materials.There are also increasing reports of sea turtles that have become ill and stuck on the beach due to their taking in plastic."
According to the researchers,areas of the ocean with much plastic may trick turtles and other animals into thinking that there are plenty of food sources,when the opposite is true."Once these plastics are in the ocean,we don't have a good way to remove them or prevent them from smelling like food," said Lohmann."The best thing we can do is keep plastic from getting into the ocean at all."
(1)、Why is plastic pollution posing a threat to ocean animals?A、It may mislead them as food. B、It may eat up all jellyfish. C、It may kill them with its smell. D、It may trap 700 species of sea animals.(2)、What smell did turtles prefer according to the study?A、Sea water. B、Clean water. C、Clean plastic. D、Ocean-soaked plastic.(3)、What do we know from the study?A、Turtles seem to eat plastic because it looks like food. B、Turtles have died out due to their taking in plastic. C、Turtles eat plastic because it gives off the smell of food. D、Turtles with their stomachs full of plastic were studied.(4)、What are we supposed to do according to Dr.Kenneth J Lohmann?A、Keep away from the polluted ocean. B、Maintain a plastic-free ocean. C、Remove plastic from the ocean. D、Stop people feeding turtles plastic. -

John "Charlie" Veron—widely known as "the Godfather of Coral Reef(珊瑚礁)"—is a celebrated expert who has personally discovered nearly a quarter of the world's coral species and has spent the past 45 years diving Australia's Great Barrier Reef.But now the 73-year-old is raising the alarm about its future.The Great Barrier Reef,one of the natural wonders,is 2,300 kilometres long and is the only living organism that can be seen from space.It is considered a World Treasure Site due to its biodiversity with 30 species of whales,dolphins and sharks.Within the reef itself,there are also a number of tiny organisms and fishes.
However,its health is threatened.After the recent mass bleaching(白化) events,Veron dived in many areas of the Great Barrier Reef to see the damage for himself."I was seeing and feeling it and it was absolutely shocking," he says.
Veron says the mass bleaching events in the past few years—and the possibility of losing one of nature's greatest treasures—were a wake-up call for the world in the wider battle against climate change,which,together with the rising sea temperature,is considered the greatest threats to the reef.
Fortunately,earlier this year,the Australian government announced nearly 400 million dollars in new funding towards scientific projects designed to help the reef.
There has been criticism in Australia about the slow process for the funding."It won't be wasted,though," Veron says."As scientists will be able to create a sort of seed bank to protect the species until the climate is good enough to rebuild the reef.What the scientists hope to do is help nature along a bit after the big carbon dioxide increase is over and it starts to come down."
