19.You might think that"global warming"means nothing more than a rise in the world's temperature.But rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first escape of an island nation-the citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland.
During the 20th century,sea level rose 8-12 inches.As a result.Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water which has polluted the country's drinking water.
Paani Laupepa,a Tuvaluan government official,reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years.Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.
Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol(京都协议书),an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions,which are a main cause of global warming."By refusing to sign the agreement,the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years,"Laupepa told the BBC.
Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries.
Tuvalu is not the only country that is affected by rising sea levels.Maumoon Gayoon,president of the Maldives,told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311,000 an"endangered nation".
29.The text is mainly aboutB.
A.rapid changes in earth's temperature     
B.bad effects of global warming
C.moving of a country to a new place    
D.reasons for lowland flooding
30.Laupepa was not satisfied with the United States because it did notA.
A.agree to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions
B.sign an agreement with Tuvalu
C.allow Tuvaluans to move to the US

14.It is an agreed fact that all the creatures want happiness and are afraid of pain and grief (悲伤).The question,however,is"what is real happiness?"What really is called happiness?The desire for happiness has no meaning without un derstanding the real nature of happiness.
    Some thinkers say,"Happiness does not lie in objects of enjoyment; happiness or unhappiness lies in imagination."To prove their belief,they give examples like the following one:A man has two-storey house; on the right is a five-storey building and on the left a cottage.When he sees right,he feels unhappy and when he sees left he feels happy.As such happiness does not lie in possession of sensory objects,but in imagination.They advise people to look towards those who are poorer than you and be happy.If you look towards people having more wealth and possessions,you'll always be unhappy.
    It is unreasonable to hold this point of view.It is unkind to regard one happy by imagining that one is better than the poor and the unhappy."If you want to be happy,look towards the poor".This attitude satisfies the sense of pride of possessions,but this can never be called happiness.Unless we really find where happiness lies,we can not really be happy.
    Some ask people to do this and do that and say,"This way your desires would be satisfied.You would get the desired objects and become happy."People holding these views regard happiness as satisfaction of desires.But it is not possible to satisfy one's desires because there are countless desires of countless people and the material things are limited.Then new desires arise as soon as the previous ones are satisfied.Therefore,desires,which are changing all the time,can never be satisfied.
    Happiness,in fact,is a condition that must be prepared for,cultivated (培养),and defended privately by each person.People who learn to control inner experience will be able to determine the quality of their lives and come to being happy.Happiness lies in the distribution of easiness among others.Happiness stands for forgiveness and justice.Happiness is the name of struggle and courage.Happiness may be founded in seeking of true knowledge and rule of wisdom.Happiness may be shared in service and duty.This life is combination of joy and sorrow,and honest efforts should be done to make this life journey full of happiness,love,peace and harmony.

A.looking towards those with fewer possessions

68.In the author's opinion,happinessD.
A.can be achieved easily by earning money
B.must belong to those with rich knowledge

4.Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule
From my experience,there are three main reasons why people don't cook more often:ability,money,and time.(36)BMoney is a topic I'll save for another day.So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen.Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:
1.Think ahead.The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there's nothing ready to eat.So think ahead of the coming week.When will you have time to cook?Do you have the right materials already?(37)G.
2.Make your time worth it.When you do find time to cook a meal,make the most of it and save yourself time later on.Are you making one loaf of bread?(38)CIt takes around the same amount of time to make more of something.So save yourself the effort for a future meal.
3.(39)AThis may surprise you,but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation.It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with yor appetite and schedule.The more you learn and the more you try,the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.
Hopefully that gives you a good start.(40)FAnd don't let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!

A.Try new things.
B.Ability is easily improved.
C.Make three or four instead.
D.Understand your food better.
E.Cooking is a burden(负担) for many people.
F.Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.
G.A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.
11.Here is an amazing fact:Of the 1.1million firefighters in the United States,about 780,000are volunteers.Roughly a third of the population is (41)D by mostly-or all-volunteer firefighters.
Also  (42)A,perhaps.Sometimes they have to pay for their own gear(设备).
I (43)B this because I volunteer as a firefighter in Durango,Colorado.I responded to more than 50calls in 2014,everything from wildfires to car accidents.In that period,I spent close to$1,000on the gear not(44)B by my department,things like higher-quality flashlights,knives,and better gloves,which make my (45)D easier.
In January 2015,a bill was (46)B in Congress that would give a significant tax break to those who volunteer their time and take (47)D action to the fire or other dangerous situations.I hope it passes,not because it will put some money in my pocket (48)C that will be nice,but it will ease the (49)C burden on volunteers and acknowledge their time commitment.I believe it will  (50)A more people to help.And there's a(n)  (51)B for that.
In rural areas where population density(密度)is low and (52)C calls for fire and EMS services are rare,it just doesn't (53)D to have career firefighters on the staff 24/7(全天候).(54)C,volunteers are used to fill in the (55)D.We are ready to help someone on what is the worst day of their life.(56)C we have never met before,and might never again,but it doesn't matter in a crisis.(57)B volunteers,the whole system would collapse.
There's a T-shirt that is popular among us,reading"For Pride,Not (58)B"We volunteer because we know our (59)A need us.We don't need a small tax break.Without one,we'll still put on our gear when the alarm goes off without (60)C.But we'd appreciate one,and if it gets more people to join us,it's worth it
