It was worth the investment. At the end of the decade, the company was producing a successful range of toys and interlocking bricks, and Ole’s son, Godtfred, had joined him in the business.

【题目】 One thing you do not expect an oil minister to do is to block the development of his own country’s oil fields. But that is exactly what Alberto Acosta did when he was appointed Ecuador’s Oil Minister.

For a relatively poor country whose main income is from oil exports, this idea seemed like madness. Ecuador is not rich by economic (经济) standards, but in terms of the diversity of plant and animal life, it is one of the richest places on Earth. For this, scientists studied trees in the Yasuni National Park in Ecuador’s undamaged rain forest, and they found over 650 different species (物种) of tree in just one acre — more than the total number in all of the US and Canada combined. Mr. Acosta said he would rather the oil companies did not destroy these natural riches. His idea is to leave the oil reserves beneath Yasuni Park untouched, in return for compensation of half their value, which will be done by the international society. The oil is worth more than $7 billion.

Ecuador is not the only country trying to get richer nations to pay for not exploiting (开发) their forests. Both Nigeria and Guatemala are hoping they will be able to make similar deals. A spokesperson for local environmental groups explained, “This is fantastic though the plan has met with problems, both from within Ecuador and from outside. If only people in developed countries appreciated that these forests absorb a lot of the CO2 that their industries produce. I just wish they would take a longer-term view of this problem. Protecting biodiversity and preventing climate change means temporary loss, otherwise, we will all be losers — with consequences I’d rather not even think about.”

【1】What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A.The total number of tree species.

B.Ecuador’s oil storage quantity.

C.Ecuador’s diversity in wildlife.

D.The undamaged rain forest.

【2】What was Mr. Acosta’s real aim?

A.Importing more oil.B.Protecting the environment.

C.Building more natural parks.D.Compensating the Yasuni Park.

【3】What will the international society do?

A.Guide companies to protect the oil.

B.Develop oil fields near the park.

C.Study the rain forest further.

D.Pay oil companies 3. 5 billion.

【4】What does the spokesperson indicate in the last paragraph?

A.Destroying nature means punishing ourselves.

B.Natural forests can stop climate change totally.

C.Developed countries will become losers.

D.It’s impossible to carry out Acosta’s plan.

【题目】A new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love (早恋), may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression. The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.

The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They won’t tell that to their parents.

Dr.Marianm Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.

Parents should watch for signs of depression-eating or mood changes-and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.

【1】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Romance is a two-edged sword for adults.

B. Puppy love may bring young people depression.

C. Parents should forbid their children’s love.

D. Romance is good for young people.

【2】Which of the following is more likely to have depression?

A. Careless parents whose children are deep in love.

B. Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness.

C. Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.

D. Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.

【3】What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.

B. Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.

C. The older a woman is, the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.

D. Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.
