Although the Garden God had made him the most beautiful place that there could ever be, Adam was lonely.

Adam needed some    . So God reached into the ground again and took some more stuff from the earth. This time he made every kind of animal and every kind of bird. He brought them all to Adam to see    he would call them. It must have    a long, long time to think up all those    ! Luckily, he didn't call them things like 'Foo Foo' or “Snuggems”or 'Pooky' or anything like that.     , he called them 'gerbils' and 'rabbits' and 'rhinoceroses'. And he    the birds 'eagles' and 'egrets' and 'ruby throated warblers'.

Well,     , we don't know what Adam named them,     he didn't speak English. But he named each kind, and that's important because people are the only ones that name things. Your    knows what a squirrel is, but he doesn't call    a squirrel. He just barks    it! But naming things is one of the things that shows we are    from all the other creatures that God made.    

      even with all the animals around to keep him company, God saw that Adam was     sad. Monkeys are fun to play with, but they don't have very much to say and they have    table manners. So God made Adam fall    , and while Adam was sleeping, God took one of his ribs(肋骨).God took Adam's    and he made a woman from it. When Adam woke up, God    Eve to him , and Adam said, “At last! Here is    like me! Her bones were made from my bones, and her body was made from my body. I will call her 'woman' because that means she was taken out of man.”

  At last Adam was    . And so Adam and Eve lived together in God's garden.

Many businesses today use conferences as a means of discussing new plans for company. As people are paying more attention to the environment and green problems, more businesses are looking for ways to reduce their negative effect on the environment. Many businesses do this by using web conferencing.

     Web conferencing is a technology that allows people to communicate more effectively over the Internet. It is an easy way of hosting and attending conferences without having to leave the office. Each of the people involved in a web conference will be posted an invitation to the conference with the time and date of the web conference on it. When the conference is ready to begin, all participants (参与者) must sit at their computer and they will be connected over the Internet.

Obviously, in doing this no fuel is used in traveling to and from a conference, and less work time is taken up in attending a conference.

Any material to be used during the web conference is simply e-mailed to all the participants before the conference. This not only saves paper but also greatly reduces mailing cost for the business.

As a conference hall or business center isn’t being used, it means that the only power that is used is the power used by the participants’ personal computers. Similarly conference organizers don’t have to arrange for food or overnight accommodation (住宿) for participants. All this means that less energy is used.

Many companies actively do many things to reduce their negative impact (影响) on the environment. So web conferencing is much cheaper and greener and more people are willing to host and attend a web conference.

What is the passage mainly about?

A. Ways of protecting the environment.

B. Green benefits of web conference.

C. Ways of hosting a web conference.

D. Impacts of web conferencing on costs.

According to paragraph 1, many companies use web conferencing because they________.

A. are interested in using any new technology

B. believe that web conferencing is more convenient

C. want to do something to protect the environment

D. haven’t enough money to hold a traditional conference

Web conferencing has all of the following advantages EXCEPT _________.

A. saving time                B. promoting understanding

C. saving energy              D. saving paper

The participants of a web conference_________.

A. will be e-mailed an invitation before the conference

B. are required to sit in the office together

C. will receive many paper materials

D. must have access to the Internet

“Football is a very short-term career. Football really prepares you for almost nothing. The only thing I got out of football was the ability to work hard.” says Gales Sayers. So what do you do after your glory days on the field are over? Here’s what one of the top players, Gales Sayers did after he put down the pigskin.

Gales Sayers: #40, Chicago Bears, Running Back.  

Gales Sayers became famous in 1965. After recovering from a serious knee injury in 1968, Sayers returned to the Bears in 1969 and was awarded the George Halas Award as “the most courageous player in professional football.” At the award ceremony, he owed his prize to his friend and teammate Brian Piccolo, who was dying of cancer.

Sayers couldn’t get away from the injuries, though, and another blow to his knee put an end to his football career in 1971. His personal life was unfortunate as well, as he and his wife, Linda, split up that year. Shortly after that, Sayers started a new life and career as an assistant athletic director in the University of Kansas. By 1976 he was moving up the ladder at Southern Illinois University, becoming the first African-American athletic director at a major university.

Sayers started a computer supplies company in 1984 with his second wife, Ardie, whom he married in 1973. The couple was looking for a field with a future, and computers seemed to have it all. Seventeen years later, the company that bears his name is a national provider of technology solutions, with 10 locations and over 350 employees across the country. Just like in the old days the honors started rolling in. Sayers was listed into the Chicago Area Entrepreneurship(企业家) Hall of Fame in 1999.
