[1]Rising temperatures have forced many plants to climb to higher elevations(海拔)to survive, researchers reported．
[2]More than two-thirds of the plants studied along six West European mountain ranges climbed an average of 29 meters in altitude in each decade since 1905 to better conditions on higher ground, the researchers reported in the journal Science．
[3]“This is the first time it's shown that climate change has a significant effect on a large set of forest plant species,” said Jonathan Lenoir, a forest ecologist at Agro Paris Tech in France, who led the study．“It helps us to develop our understanding of how ecosystems respond to temperature changes．”
[4]The French team's findings suggest plants at high altitudes face the same or greater impacts from rising temperatures．“Plants species move where it's the most suitable for them to grow,” Lenoir said．“If you change these good conditions, species will move to recover the same conditions．”
[5]Using database on plant species found at specific locations and elevations stretching back to 1905, the researchers showed many plants have steadily climbed higher to conditions best suited for survival and growth．
[6]Plants move higher when they disperse(分散)their seeds in the wind, which blows them ________ to high elevations and cooler temperatures similar to their former location, Lenoir said．
[7]The researchers tracked 171 forest plant species during two periods-between 1905 and 1985, and from1986 to 2005--along the entire elevation ranging from sea level to 2,600 meters．They found that two-thirds of the plants responded to warming temperatures over that time by ________．
[8]Plants at higher altitudes also appear most sensitive to warmer conditions because slight temperature changes at higher altitudes have a bigger impact．
1．What is the best title of the passage?(No more than 5 words)
2．Complete the following statement with proper words．(No more than 4 words)
Plants at high altitudes are quick to feel the warmer temperature because a tiny change there can ________ on them．
3．Fill in the blank in Para．7 with proper words．(No more than 4 words)
4．How do plants move to higher elevations?(No more than 8 words)
5．What does the word “them”(line 2, paragraph 6)probably refer to?(No more than 2words)
EAT YOUR VEGETABLES.Wash your hands. Always say “please” and “thank you”. We are full of advice for our children, but when it comes to money, we often have little to say. As a result, our children may grow up with clean hands and good manners, but without any idea how tomanage their money.
Here are some basics that will help guide them their entire lives:
Show them the future. If your 13-year-old girl were to save $1.000,invest(投资)it at 8% and add $100 every month, by the time she’s 65,she would have $980,983!
Be careful of credit(信用).Credit cards can help you buy necessary things and build a credit history, but they must be used responsibly, which means paying off your debt in time. Explain to your children that when you buy something using a credit card, you can easily end up paying two or three times what you would have paid if you used cash.
Teach patience. Suppose your child wants a new bicycle that costs $150.Rather than paying the cash, give him some regular pocket money and explain that by putting aside,say,$15 each week, he will be able to buy it for himself in only ten weeks.
Provide incentive. Tell your children the importance of saving. “For every dollar he or she agrees to save and invest rather than spend, you agree to add another dollar to the pot,” says Cathy Pareto, expert in money planning.
Explain your values. Values and money are deeply intertwined, says Eilleen Gallo,co-author of The Financially Intelligent Parent. When your child demands that you buy something, explain why you really don’t want to buy it.“You might say, ‘I’d rather save that money for your education,’” advises Gallo. Every time you spend or don’t spend money, you have a chance to share your values.

As a third-year high school student, I feel that students today study English merely for the purpose of getting high scores in all sorts of so-called English exams. This phenomenon misleads students like my classmates into making a great effort to deal with English exams, not the rich language itself. Needless to say, it is unfortunate.
I started the voyage in the ocean of the English language at an early age. Being fed up with reciting each word taught in every class, I soon gained the idea that English was a bore! Luckily for me, under the vivid pen of Charlotte Bronte, the life of Jane Eyre touched me so much that I spent several sleepless nights to read the whole book. This marked the change of my attitude to-wards English from hating to loving. I began to be inspired by the wisdom of European and American literature written in English and was amazed by the beauty and richness of the language. As time went by, the more I read, the more I found English lovely. I could still remember one winter vacation when I raced into one school library to borrow my longed-for English novels. At night, when soft light spread on the pages, my expecting heart beat with the author's. I was so eager to get on with my reading that I could hardly sleep. My world had come alive! I was 16 at the time.
Now, I am often asked why I read so many“useless”things in English and how to study English well. My response would be,“Learn English as a language, not as an exam subject.”Then, I caught sight of disappointing eyes and doubts. Indeed, that's what I concluded from my study of the English language. Honestly, to me, English is truly a magic box that can grab my soul and absorb my entire mind. It's filled with wisdom and adventures which are hard to explain and share. I believe many people would agree with me and be sorry for the present situation of high school English teaching. So I'd like to call Upon English learners and friends to save our beloved English from being misconducted.
