Dear Zhou Lu,
I’m writing a letter ask you for some help.
As you know, Zhang Fei and I used to be good friend. However, on one day, Zhang Fei read my private letter in secret and tell others what was written in it. Knowing this, I was extreme angry. I told her I would not be his friend any more. Hearing whatＩsaid, Zhang felt very surprised and no longer stayed with me. Facing with this, I felt very upset. I am much angry with her improper behaviour, but I can’t forget the wonderful time that I stayed with her. I wonder whether I should forgive her. And I’m afraid if I offer to make friends with her, she will refuse me. How should I do?
Your friend,
Li Hua

Many people catch a cold in the springtime or fall. It makes us wonder… if scientists can send a man to the moon, why can't they find a cure for the common cold? The answer is easy. There are actually hundreds of kinds of cold viruses out there. You never know which one you will get, so there isn't a cure for each one.

When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. Blood rushes to your nose and cause a block in it. You feel terrible because you can't breathe well, but your body is actually eating the virus. Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells. You may feel miserable, but actually your wonderful body is doing every- thing it can to kill the cold.

Different people have different cures for Colds. In the United States and some other countries, for example, people might eat chicken soup to make themselves" feel better. Some people take hot baths and drink warm liquids (流汁). Other people take medicine to stop Various symptoms (症状) of colds.

There is one interesting thing to note" some scientists say taking medicines when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn't have a way to fight it and kill it. Bodies can do an amazing job on their own. There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold. It goes like this:

It takes about one week to get over a cold if you don't take medicine, but it takes only seven days to get over a cold if you take medicine.

PLAYA GRANDE, COSTA RICA? This resort town was long known for Leatherback Sea Turtle （棱皮龟） National Park, nightly turtle beach tours and even a sea turtle museum．However, on a beach where dozens of turtles used to nest on a given night , scientists spied only 32 国leatherbac,ks all of last year．
With leatherbacks threatened with extinction （灭绝）, Playa Grande's turtle museum was abandoned three years ago and now sits among a sea of weeds．And the beachside ticket office for turtle tours was washed away by a high tide in September．"We do not promote that 'as a turtle tourism destination anymore because we realize there are far too few turtles to please,” said Alvaro Fonseca, a park ranger （管理员）．
Even before scientists found temperatures going up over the past decade, sea turtles were threatened by beach development, drift net fishing and Costa Ricans' interest in eating turtle eggs．Btu climate change may cause the most serious harm to an animal that has lived in the Pacific for 150 million years．
Sea turtles are sensitive to numerous effects of warming．They feed on reefs, which are dying in hotter seas．They lay eggs on beaches that are being covered by rising seas and more violent waves．
More uniquely their gender （性别）is determined, not by genes but by the egg's temperature during development．Small rises in beach temperatures can result in ail-female populations, obviously problematic for survival．If the sand around the eggs hits30 degrees Celsius, the gender balance shits to females: at about 32 degrees they are all female．Above 34, you get boiled eggs．
On some nesting beaches, scientists are artificially cooling nests with shade or irrigation and trying to protect broader areas of coastal property from development to ensure that turtles have a place to nest as the seas rise．
【小题1】Why does the resort: town stop promoting its turtle tourism?

阅读下面短文，并根据短文后面的要求答题（请注意答题后的字数要求）

[1] If you are applying for an American higher education, you probably dream of getting into an Ivy League (常青藤联盟) university．The eight schools with the best reputations attract top students from the United States and many other countries． However, on average, the Ivy League schools accept less than 15 percent of applicants．And with the applicants growing in size year on year, it is becoming more and more difficult _________．

[2] So how can you give yourself the best chance of admission?

[3]Having a high school grade point average （GPA） in the top 10 percent of your class and being ranked among the top few students dramatically betters your chances．But although GPA and SAT scores are important, they only tell admission deans（主任）part of the story．

[4] The whole admissions process will single out (挑选出) from a large pool of academically strong applicants the unique individuals．They stand out because they have shown in their interviews a range of virtues (优点) expected of these universities．Take Harvard for example．Although there is no guarantee of admission, the school judges applicants based on 15 additional criteria．

[5] Intellectual curiosity (求知欲) comes first tor almost all admission deans．Schools look to such students because they believe their peers find them stimulating（激励人的）inside and outside the classroom．

[6] Leadership also weighs heavily．The school would rather see an applicant who takes on additional responsibility in one or two areas where he or she is good at, rather than one who is merely "very good" academically．This can mean the class presidency（主席职务）, leading the cheerleading team or being the officer of a student union．

[7] Whether a person has personal warmth and cares about others counts a lot with the admission deans．Writing an essay on a personal experience, like a summer spent raising funds for the earthquake victims or teaching in a local school, can show that a person has qualities in addition to academic experience．

1.What is the purpose of the passage? （no more than 15 words）
