Let me tell you about five of the enemies we face from within．The first enemy that you’ve got to destroy before it destroys you is indifference．What a tragic disease this is! “Ho-hum，let it slide. I’ll just drift along．” Here’s one problem with drifting：you can’t drift your way to the top of the mountain．

The second enemy we face is indecision(优柔寡断). Indecision is the thief of opportunity and enterprise．It will steal your chances for a better future．Take a sword to this enemy．

The third enemy inside is doubt．Sure，there’s room for healthy skepticism．You can’t believe everything．But you also can’t let doubt take over．Many people doubt the past, doubt the future，doubt each other，doubt the government，doubt the possibilities and doubt the opportunities．              , they doubt themselves．I’m telling you，doubt will destroy your life and your chances of success．It will empty both your bank account and your heart．Doubt is all enemy．Get rid of it．

The fourth enemy within is worry．We’ve all got to worry some．Just don’t let it conquer you．Instead, let it alarm you．Worry can be useful．If you step off the curb (路边) in New York City and a taxi is coming，you’ve got to worry．But you can’t let worry loose like a mad dog that drives you into a small corner．Here’s what you’ve got to do with your worries：drive them into a small corner. Whatever is out to get you，you’ve got to get it．Whatever is pushing on you, you’ve got to push back．   

The fifth enemy is overcaution. It is the timid (胆小的) approach to life．Timidity is not a virtue；it’s an illness．If you let it go，it’ll conquer you．Timid people don’t get promoted．They don’t advance and grow and become powerful in the marketplace．You’ve got to avoid overcaution．

Donna Simpson weighs more than 600 pounds and aims to reach 1，000 pounds．The New Jersey woman is carrying a series of activities to become the world’s fattest living woman，admitting that she is as hungry for attention as she is for calorie-rich food．
Donna，who wears XXXXXXXL dresses, eats pounds of junk food and tries to move as little as possible．The 42-year-old woman is a model on a website，where admirers and the curious can pay to watch videos of her eating food or walking to the car．She appeared in TV interviews and
said she welcomed media coverage．
Simpson has submitted a claim to the Guinness World Records for the title of the world’s heaviest woman to give birth．Among the heaviest women ever recorded was one who reportedly weighed 1，800 pounds and another who reportedly weighed 1,200 pounds at the time of their
deaths．   
You might expect her husband to advise her to lose weight，but it is the other way round．To achieve her goal，Donna says she will need to eat up to 12，000 calories a day，compared to 2000 calories that a normal woman needs．
When she came across the website which made very fat women widely known，she came to know there were many women faced with the same problems．And after she admitted her real size，e-mails from people poured in．They sent her gifts through the post，expressing their care
for her．Donna was not feeling sorry for her goal，though she might risk her own life in the process．However, some have a different voice in Donna’s behavior．They hold that it is more important to do something useful than to become popular．After all，there are so many children faced with the shortage of food throughout the world．
【小题1】. . One reason why Donna Simpson wants to be the heaviest woman is that         .

A volcanic eruption in Iceland has sent ash across northern Europe. Airlines have stopped or changed the flights across the Atlantic Ocean, leaving hundreds of passengers stuck in airports.

   Grimsvotn is one of the largest and most active volcanoes in Europe. What makes Grimsvotn different is that it lies under a huge glacier(冰川) of ice up to 12 meters thick. The hot volcano heats up the ice above it, which then forms a layer(层)of water between the glacier and the volcano. This layer of water puts pressure on the volcano, keeping it stable. As the water flows out from under the glacier, the pressure lifts. The lava from the volcano then comes up to the surface. This is exactly what happened today.

Now, airlines have to make changes to their flights so as not to fly through the clouds of volcanic ash. According to KLM, one of Europe’s biggest airlines, airplanes cannot go under the cloud or over it. Going through the cloud can result in ash getting stuck in the airplane’s engines, causing damage to the plane.

The eruption has also caused problems for animals in Iceland. The volcano left ash and sharp, glass-like rocks all over the countryside. Farmers are keeping their animals inside to stop them from eating ash-covered grass or the sharp object.

1.What makes Grimsvotn different from other volcanoes?

A. It is below ice.                  B. It lies under the sea.

C. It is the largest volcano.           D. Its lava affects the airlines.

2.What keeps Grimsvotn still?

A. The slow flow of water.            B. The low water temperature.

C. The thick glacier.                 D. The water pressure.

3.Which of the following is the result of the volcanic eruption?

A. People stop traveling in Europe.

B. Airlines suffer from the loss of planes.

C. It becomes dangerous for animals to eat outside.

D. Farmers have lost many of their animals.

4.This text is most probably taken from ________.

A. a research paper                  B. a newspaper report

C. a class presentation                D. a geography textbook

More than 200 scientists have completed a two­year study to identify the most natural and undeveloped areas on Earth. Their findings are reported in a new book called Wilderness：Earth’s Last Wild Places. The book describes 37 wilderness areas around the world. Each has an area greater than 10,000 square kilometers. The study considered only areas where at least 70% of all plants are native.

North and South America are home to the largest number of wilderness areas. There are 16 such areas, from southern Argentina to Alaska and northern Canada. Africa has 8 wilderness areas, including the thick forests and the grasslands. Australia and New Guinea (几内亚) share 6 areas. Europe has 3 areas and Asia has 2.The Arabian Desert and Antarctica also are considered wilderness areas.

The largest wilderness area is the Boreal Forest (北方森林)．It extends for 16­million square kilometers south of the Arctic Circle. The Boreal Forest extends across Alaska, Canada, northern Europe and Russia. The smallest of the 37 wilderness areas is the Sundarbans. It is the world’s largest tidal mangrove forest (红树林)．It covers 10,000 square kilometers of land at the mouth of the Ganges River in India and Bangladesh (孟加拉国)．

The study found that wilderness areas cover about 46% of the Earth’s land surface. However, they are home to less than 2.5% of the world’s population. Nineteen of the wilderness areas have only about one person for each square kilometer. Native people usually live in these areas.

Wilderness areas help to influence the world’s weather systems and rainfall. They are also home to many plants and animals. Population growth and the spread of agriculture and mining operations threaten wilderness areas. But just 7% of all such areas have some form of official protection.
