15．As we all know，it is very difficult to remember all the contents of a long passage．For that reason，it is wise to make notes of information that is necessary for the students when they read a passage．The result is a short of the passage，and it contains all aspects of the passage．（36）DI ask the students to follow these steps．
●Familiarize with（通晓）the material．After students have read the passage or a section of it，they can start summarizing．（37）F
●Select important information．I ask the students to go through each paragraph，sentence by sentence，asking themselves which information is necessary to the argument．They should point out complete sentences as much as possible．（38）CPay attention to these important points：author，title，reason why the passage was written，purpose，theme，key words，link words，all major aspects，explanations and author's opinion．
●Paraphrase（释义）the information．I ask the students to point out the information of the previous step in their own words．（39）GThey should try to shorten long and complex sentences into much shorter ones．

A．Adjust the length of the summary
B．Insert links（连接词）between sentences and paragraphs．
C．A choice is to underline important sentences or phrases．
D．In this way students can grasp the main ideas of the passage．

14．The 2016State of North America's Birds report was published by the North American Bird Conservation Initiative（NABCI） last Wednesday at the Museum of Nature in Ottawa，Canada．The report-for the first time-assesses（评估）conservation status of 1，154 native bird species that occur in Canada，the continental United States，and Mexico，as well as oceanic birds that occur off these three countries．However，the findings were distressing．Over one-third of all North America bird species are most at risk of extinction without significant conservation action．
"North American migratory birds（候鸟）are on the decline （下降）．But these birds link us，they unite us，and we have a shared duty to them and to the environments they are closely tied in with，so it requires international teamwork，"said Christian Artuso，a biologist at Bird Studies Canada．"This will come back to bite us if we don't deal with it while we still have a chance．"
The threat to bird populations has brought nations together to try and save them from extinction．"Canada，the United States，and Mexico share an amazing wealth of birds．And not one of them carries a passport，"said Catherine McKenna，Canadian federal Environment and Climate Change Minister．"Partnerships like this allow us to‘spread our wings'beyond our own nests．"
This week policymakers，scientists，and nonprofit leaders met in Ottawa，Canada，to discuss the results of the study and how to increase conservation efforts in the continent．
The authors recommend various ways to take action to save the homes of at-risk birds．For seabirds，the report suggests expanding protected areas in the sea，signing agreements to cut plastics pollution，managing fisheries to protect fish populations upon which the birds feed，and making sure the birds do not get caught in fishing lines or nets．
"The thing about migratory birds is they connect us．What we do up here in Canada affects what goes on down in the southern US and Mexico and even further beyond，throughout the whole hemisphere（半球），"said Artuso．

One day an old friend of hers visited and brought her some soup．Smiling broadly，Elizabeth squeezed my arm．"Tomorrow，child，we shall feast．"
The next evening I found Elizabeth's bed empty．"I'm sorry，"the nurse whispered．She handed me a box and nodded．"She left everything to you．"At home，I unpacked it，finding two white sweaters，the dozen leather-bound books and，at the bottom，the can of soup．

Universal Studios Japan
Located in Osaka，this park features Hollywood films．One of the two largest theme parks in Japan，along with Tokyo Disney Resort，it is the third theme park operated by Universal Studios and the first outside the United States．
At first，the park was to have been named"Universal Studios Osaka，"but this name was not used because its abbreviation （缩写） USO would have been pronounced like the Japanese word uso，which means"lie．"
The park offers attractions on the theme of motion pictures，with rides such as Sesame Street，Shrek，E．T．，Terminator，Spiderman，etc．
Tokyo Disney Resort
Opened in the city of Urayasu，Chiba prefecture in 1983 as the first Disneyland outside the United States，Tokyo Disneyland lies on 600，000 square meters of reclaimed land（填海造陆）．
In 2001，Tokyo DisneySea was opened next to Tokyo Disneyland，with the seas as its theme．This park，Tokyo Disneyland，and neighboring hotels and shopping centers together make up the Tokyo Disney Resort，which brings in more than 25 million visitors every year．
Tokyo Disney Resort lies close to Tokyo and other major cities with huge populations，and has easy access to the New Tokyo International Airport in the city of Narita Chiba prefecture．Apart from this，its great success also lies in the fact that new attractions have been opened one after another，thus winning the support of many repeat visitors．

10．A self-service flower shop operated by a college student in Beijing is attracting many young customers，Chinese media reported．
Different from traditional shops ill the capital，the young storekeeper surnamed Wang opened the first self-service flower shop where people can select flowers and pay via mobile payment systems including WeChat and Alipay．
Born after 1995and a lover of fiction，the young man said he began the startup because it will not take up his time．"People go to flower shops at any time，"he said．"I cannot focus on reading when I have to serve customers，"So Wang opened the self-service flower shop after doing market research．
Most young customers like shopping in a free environment，and hate promotion from clerks，he explained，adding that customers can have their questions answered about categories and names of flowers through mobile apps．
Even though there is no shopkeeper the operation has attracted many young customers and proved to be a success，at least for now．
Although he does not sell flowers in the shop in person，Wang said he would call at it at odd intervals every day．
"It is a business with small investment，and it can not cause a huge loss if a burglary（偷盗）occurs，"he said，adding that he trusts people．

66．How do people pay for flowers？（no more than 8words）Through/Via mobile payment systems including WeChat and Alipay．
67．Why did Wang open the self-service flower shop？（no more than 20words）Because it will not take up his time and people go to flower shops at any time

9．You might have heard about identity theft，it's what can happen when a thief gets enough of someone's information to commit fraud（诈骗）．Why should people care about it？Because recovering a stolen identity can be a time-consuming（耗时）and expensive process．Imagine that someone pretends to be you，they use your name，they even convince businesses that they're you and they open a credit card in your name，get a cell phone in your name，or buy things using a credit card and your name on it．
ID thieves can be creative about getting your information．There are some low-tech ways they get it：sometimes they steal garbage，going through it to find personal information，or they steal mail．
There are high-tech ways，too．ID thieves might put software onto your computer without you knowing it，it can happen when you open an email attachment，click on a pop-up（弹出窗口）advertisement，or download some music files．Some software lets a thief see everything on your computer，and record everything you type on your computer．
Unfortunately，even if you're really careful with your personal information，thieves can still get it．Sometimes，they hack（入侵）into computer systems at stores or schools，hospitals or businesses．They look for persona information to use or sell to other thieves．
It's pretty easy for you and your family to make it harder for a thief to steal your identity．You can start with the low-tech defenses：being careful with your mail and garbage．Tear anything that has personal information on it before you throw it away．And be sure to take care of your purse，your wallet，or your backpack．You'd better keep your Social Safely card in a safe，locked place at home．
Practice same routine higher-tech defensive plays to protect your computer by installing（安装）and turning on an up-to-date firewall along with anti-spyware and anti-virus software．Once you are online，be careful with your personal information．Some sites might ask for a credit card number，stop and check if they really need that number．When you get email or pop-ups on your computer，don't respond automatically．Emails that ask you to reply or click a link could be thieves trying to trick you into giving them your personal information．It's a technique called"phishing"，because the thieves are fishing for your information．Stop and think before you click．
