7.Green invaders (侵略者) are taking over America.No,not invaders from space.Plants.You might not think of plants as dangerous,but in this case they are threatening nature's delicate food web.
The invaders are plants from other countries brought here to make gardens and yards look pretty.Ever since people started to arrive on America's shores,they've carried along trees,flowers,and vegetables from other places.Now there are so many of those plants,they are crowding out the native plants that have lived here since before human settlers arrived.
And that's a problem,says Dr Doug Tallamy.He's an entomologist (an insect expert)at the University of Delaware.He explains that almost all the plant-eating insects in the United States-90% of them-are specialized.That means they eat only certain plants.Monarch butterfly caterpillars (毛毛虫),for example,feed on milkweed.If people cut down milkweed and replace it with another plant,the butterflies will not have the food source that they need to survive.
But the trouble doesn't stop there,it goes right across the food web.When insects can?t get the right plants to eat and they die off,then the birds don't have enough bugs for their meals.Tallamy points out that almost all migrating birds depend on insects to feed their young."We cannot let the plants and animals around us disappear,"says Tallamy."The way to preserve them is to give them food to eat.But when we plant non-native plants,we are clobbering  the food web,because then we don't have the insects the birds need to live."
Fewer of the right plants mean fewer bugs,and fewer bugs mean fewer birds.And that's bad for the Earth,because we need a variety of living things to keep the planet healthy and beautiful.The good news is,gardeners everywhere are working hard to protect native plants and get rid of the invaders.Many local garden centers sell native plants.Planting the right things makes a real difference,and fast.

8.Almost everyone agrees on the hot dog basics:a long bread roll with a hot sausage inside it.And that's what has led to a big question---is a hot dog a sandwich,or is it in a special category of its own?
"People have really strong opinions on both sides,"says Eric Mittenthal,president of the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council (NHDSC).In November,the council published an official announcement ruling that the hot dog is not a sandwich.It argues that the hot dog is too significant to be considered"just a sandwich."The council admits that the hot dog was once the"Frankfurter(法兰克福香肠)sandwich,"but says that people no longer use that name.Today,no one would call a hot dog eating contest a sandwich eating contest.
But others disagree.The U.S.Department of Agriculture (USDA) includes a sausage inside a bread roll in its sandwich category.But it also calls the food a"sandwich type product."In May,dictionary publisher Merriam-Webster said that the hot dog is a sandwich.TheMerrian-Webster's collegiate Dictionary,11the Edition,defines a sandwich as"two or more slices of bread or a split roll having a filling in between"or"one slice of bread covered with food."The announcement fueled a heated debate among hot dog fans.If hot dogs are sandwiches,where do you draw the line?Are burritos(玉米馅饼)sandwiches too?
This debate won't stop Americans from eating piles of hot dogs this summer.During peak hot dog season---from Memorial Day to Labor Day---Americans will eat about 7 billion of them.That's 818hot dogs consumed every second.People love hot dogs so much that in 2015,a hot dog emoji (a small image used in electronic communications that symbolizes something) was released so people can easily tweet or text an image of the famous food.This may come in handy soon,since July is National Hot Dog Month.

32.Who thinks that the hot dog is special enough to be in a category of its own?B
A.USDA     B.NHDSC       C.The author   D.Merriam-Webster
33.What do some hot dog fans think of the definition of a sandwich in the mentioned dictionary?A
A.It seems too wide.
B.It is quite satisfactory
C.It is obviously too narrow.
D.It is difficult to understand
34.What can we learn from the release of a hot dog emoji?C
A.The emoji is beautiful
B.The emoji is interesting
C.The hot dog is very popular
D.The hot dog is world famous
35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?B
A.The history of hot dogs.
B.Is a hot dog a sandwich?
C.different kinds of Sandwiches.
D.How Americans love hot dogs.
12.Have you ever taken a test that you thought you could have passed easily,only to make some silly mistakes that really hurt your grade?More than a few students have done that.And some seem to do it over and over again
There are several problem areas that can cause students to goof up or do poorly in a test that they could have passed.
Some students can become overconfident in their knowledge of the subject matter.They think they know the material better than they actually do.It is easy for students to misjudge their own knowledge,and when they realize that they don't know the material,it is too late.
What happens more often,though,is that some students feel they are smart enough to be able to guess their way through a test.So they don't bother studying the material.They are overconfident in their ability to figure things out.In either case,overconfidence can result in lower grades in tests.Does this apply to you?
Another thing that can happen is that students underestimate (低估) the difficulty of the test.They expect an easy test,but the teacher throws in a real tough test that they haven't prepared for.Sometimes the teacher may cover material in the test that students weren't expecting.That can happen,especially if you weren't paying attention in class.
Finally,there are students who don't feel that getting a good grade is important to them,so they don't bother to study or even try to do well.Such students may be trying to punish their parents,have a poor image(形象)of themselves,or are just plain foolish.Hopefully,you are not one of these students.

18.The Isle of Wight,off the south coast of England,is the best place in Europe for discovering dinosaur bones.Dinosaur Farm Museum was established in 1993.Since then,the museum has introduced the study of old bones to many more people.
What we offer
Visitors can enjoy our displays,or watch us cleaning dinosaur bones and other fossils found on the island's beaches.The museum has a variety of different fossils,many of them never displayed to the public before.As more are discovered all the time,you can be sure of seeing something new each time you visit.
We have a free Fossil Identification Service,so you can bring in any fossils you have and find out what they are.In addition,we have a reasonably-priced Museum Shop,where you can buy a souvenir of your visit.You could also bring a picnic and relax in our special picnic area.
Activities
Fossil hunts are organized from the museum and run all year round.Groups of up to 25are guided on a local beach where they can search for fossils.All these hunts are fully licensed and insured,and guides can help to identify any fossils found andpoint out things of interest.
Due to the popularity of these hunts,all trips must be booked by a personal visit to Dinosaur Farm Museum.
Did you know…?
The BBC programme"Live from Dinosaur Island"was filmed along the coast here,and Dinosaur Farm Museum was the base for the television crew.
