Britain is facing a sharp rise in its rat population as growing numbers of people leave what they cannot finish of the fast food in the street, an environment group warned .Keep Britain Tidy said the rats were stopping their traditional hunts underground and were running across the streets, invited by burgers, pizzas and crisps left behind by man. “The rat population is on the rise and soon it’ll be as common to see a rat on our street as it is to see a dog or a cat,” said group Director, Sue Nelson. The practice of spreading fast food litter and scraps on the street rather than in the dustbin—with young men the worst group—was behind the rise. According to the National Rodent Survey in 2005, Britain’s rat population has grown by nearly one quarter since 2000 and is now estimated at 60 million, two million more than the human population. On average a rat can give birth every 24-28 days and just a single pair of rats can produce a family of 2,000 a year. Around 200 people a year get Weil’s Disease –an infection which can lead to liver or kidney（肝肾）failure and eventually death and which is carried in rats’ waste. To attract people’s attention to the problem, Keep Britain Tidy produced a cinema ad with a title “How close do you want them to get?” The ad gave a shocking image of a young woman sleeping in a bed of rats--reminding people of the terrible scene from James Herbert’s classic horror tale The Rats, in which rats begin to hunt for humans.

Where did the rats use to search for food? k*s5*u

A. In the street B. Under the ground

C. From the dustbins D. In burger shops

What was the rat population in Britain in 2000 according to the writer?

A. Around 60 million B. Around 45 million

C. Around 38 million D. Around 2 million

We may infer from the passage that ______________.

A. Weil’s Disease will finally end the world

B. pizzas and crisps will become unpopular

C. rats will put human beings’ life in danger

D. young people should take the responsibility for the rat population

By writing the passage, the author tries to _____________.

A. close some of the burger and pizza restaurants

B. draw the public attention to the problem of rats

C. prevent the rats from growing up

D. making an advertisement for the classic horror tale The Rats

It was in late April, dangerously near the well – known AP exams, when the absurdity(无助的荒诞感) of my life struck me. I was making a   36   of problems to be discussed for the evening as usual. When I   37  the great number of things on the list—a literature essay, timelines for American History, a Spanish presentation and   38 for tests in both Calculus and Physics, I was overwhelmed(难以承受) to the point of   39   exhaustion (extreme tiredness). After - school arrangements had already worn away my   40 . To keep myself awake at 11p.m. to finish five hours of   41  just seemed like too much to handle. I   42   at the computer screen with tears streaming down my cheeks,   43 my friend James about how stressed out I was over school.
His response was immediate. “Well,   44   did you decide to take five AP classes on the top of everything you’re doing?”
My response   45 just as quickly. “Because I need them for college. Harvard won’t   46   someone who doesn’t challenge themselves with difficult classes!”
The words sounded so   47   as I typed them on the screen that I   48 laughed out loud. I was supposed to be   49 myself not torturing(折磨) myself. That was the night I   50   that I didn’t need to deal with a course load of disastrous difficulty to   51   my own self – worth.

No college, one billion dollar endowment (资助) or not, is worth the   55   I went through last year. I wish I’d had someone to tell me sooner that I didn’t have to do everything. Colleges don’t really want overachieving robots, They want people with passion(love). It doesn’t matter whether you’re a policy debater or not, as long as you show that you’re going for the things you love.

A 10-year-old boy fatally shot his father Friday, striking him several times as he sat in the front seat of a SUV to pick up the boy from his mother’s home for a weekend visit.

The incident happened about 3:45 p.m. on a cul-de-sac (死胡同)in the 1700 block of Cedar Cove Court, said Sgt. B. E. Williams of the Harris County Sheriff’s Department.

An investigation found that Rick James Lohstroh, 41, was shot by his son, who was sitting in the back seat of the man’s Toyota 4-Runner, said Sgt. B. E. Williams of the Harris County Sheriff’s Department. The shooting took place outside the home of Lohstroh’s ex-wife, where the boy lives with his mother and a 7-year-old brother.

“We’re not certain of anything until we finish our investigation,” Williams said. “The information we have at this time is that the 10-year-old did fire the weapon.”

The mother and the 7-year-old were inside the house when the shooting occurred, said Williams.

Williams said the gun belonged to the boy’s mother. After firing shots through the back seat, the boy exited(退出) the back of the vehicle and continued to fire at the car.

The man died on the way to Memorial Herman Hospital. Lohstroh was a doctor at the University of Texas Medical Branch. The man and woman shared custody（监护）of the children. Williams said the mother and the boy were still in the home talking to investigators Friday night.

Neighbors described the family as being quiet and keeping to themselves.

Justin Gray, 17, was walking in the neighborhood when he heard gunshots. “We’ve had a suicide（自杀）in this neighborhood once, but never anything like this,” Gray said.
