    The UN Environment Programme says that rising temperatures could mean the end for some migrating animals．

Migrating or mobile animals move through several environments as they travel away from the cold of winter to warmer areas． Birds may fly from one part of the world to another ,perhaps stopping at feeding grounds on the way． Whales and turtles(海龟) cover vast areas of ocean． The report says that changes in any one of the places which these animals use can cause serious harm．“Obviously these animals have developed their traveling patterns over thousands of years, but climate change is almost certain to be extreme over the next 25 to 50 years and it is extremely unlikely that these animals can change their habits fast enough , ”said the report author Dr Robert Hepworth

Hardest hit by rising temperatures are turtles． Scientists have found that at higher temperatures, turtles products far more female eggs than male ones． In parts of Malaysia, turtle birthing sites are producing only females, the report says． It also tells us that some turtles are more likely to develop cancer as the waters get warmer．

With birds, the main problem is climate-related damage to important areas at either end of the travels or at resting places along the way． About one-fifth of migrating birds are now in danger because of climate-related changes including rising sea levels, land loss and more storms, the report concludes.

Other animals picked out as particularly in danger include: the North Atlantic Right Whale, whose main food(tiny fishes ) is disturbed by the change in ocean flows and the White Nose Dolphin, which is out competed by other kinds of dolphins in warmers waters.

The report is not all bad news. Even with major climatic changes, protecting the environment can still help mobile animals to recover. “We need governments to stark taking action at the national and international level. The clock is running .”said Dr. Hepworth. And some animals are already adapting, with the report mentioning whales that are changing their feeding behaviors, finding new feeding grounds and new foods to eat.

I revisited Beichuan of Mid-Autumn Festival． As the car drove into the ruined city, tears streamed down my cheeks． Giant rocks from the mountain destroyed the road and houses fell, breaking into bricks and pieces of cement(水泥)． Beichuan Middle School, which was once filled with energy and laughter, now so unrecognizable ,so empery, so quiet, so still, was a death valley．

I couldn’t really imagine at that moment, how much pain they had suffered or how hopeless they felt as they waited to be rescued． Those unfortunate ones watched the devil of death(死神) march over them, taking them away． I can’t really imagine how heartbroken their parents or beloved ones were．

As I wandered in the ruins, I was lost in deep thoughts．

The day before, we were sitting in the brightly lit classroom, heatedly arguing the importance of shapes, colors and styles in architecture (建筑), comparing ancient time housing with the modern ones． Their similarities, their differences, their pros and cons…

Now , facing the terrible scene, I realized how childlike we were and how easily we forget the most important element of architect is SAFETY, it is how housing is supposed to be: to shield us from burning sun and pouring rain, to provide us with a comfortable warm place to sleep and relax． Obviously, the style and shape do play important roles in architecture． But when a natural disaster such as this earthquake came upon us without warning, will beauty stay over anybody’s life? From this trip, we can no doubt give the clear loud answer; NO!!!

Words after such a great disaster could appear nothing but empty and pointless． So many people’s lives were taken, so much damage was done and a whole city was wiped out． Beichuan has become a history． Nevertheless, I still keep on dreaming and still long for a better future: to make our homes prettier yet safer．

Educating girls quite possibly provides a higher rate of return than any other investment（投资）in the developing world． Women’s education may be an unusual field for economists(经济学家) , but increasing women’s contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social problem． And economics, with its importance on encouragement, provides directions that point to an explanation for why so many girls are prevented from receiving an education．

Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family ;girls grow up only to marry into somebody else’s family and bear children． So girls are seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school―the prophecy（预言）becomes self-fulfilling, making women in a vicious(恶性)circle of neglect(忽略)．

An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices． She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance． The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy． So the vicious circle is changed into a virtuous （良性的）circle．

Few well arguer that educating women has great social benefits． But it has great economic advantages as well． Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers． Wages rise by 10 to 20 percent for each additional year of schooling． Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other investments, but they are just the beginning ． Educating women also has a great effect on health practices, including family planning．

       A．women care more about education

       B．girls can get equal rights of being educated

       C．parents can afford their daughters’ education

       D．a family had fewer but healthier children．

51．What does the author say about women’s education?

       A．It will provide greater returns than other known investments

       B．It is now given top priority(优先) in many developing countries．

       C．It is worth greater attention than other social problems

       D．It has caused the interest of a growing number of economists．

52．The passage mainly discusses        

       A．unequal treatment of boys and girls in developing countries

Many studies have been carried out to discover the benefits of listening to and playing music． The growing field of “music treatment” is presenting increasing amounts of proof that point to the great powers of music．

Emotional (情绪)benefits

The right song can put anybody in a better state． Most people turn to certain songs to make them feel better． The main reason behind this is that music can express our feelings better than any other medium． In addition, we have favorite songs for particular situations because we turn to the music which has the best effect on us．

Music and exercise

Have you ever noticed how out of breath you get when listening to an exciting song while doing exercises at the gym? It has been suggested that exciting music can actually increase muscle tension(紧张) , while light music does the opposite．

It has also been proved that music can improve motor skills． An experiment done on a group of pupils proved that children learning basic motor skills such as throwing ,catching and jumping while listening to music did better than those with no music．

Chronic(慢性)pain relief(减轻)

Music also has the ability to reduce chronic pain． In fact, according to a paper published in the Journal of Advanced Nursing, music can reduce chronic pain by 21%． The paper reports that 60 patients in an experiment were divided into two groups―one group listened to music, and the other did not． The results showed that people who listened to music for an hour each day for a week improved physically and psychologically(心理) while those who did not listen to music did not．

     It is really hard to imagine what it is like to hear that you’ve lost your job．

     They called it a “black Friday” when the first 50 people were   21   without warning． We had been    22   by another firm． The demission(解雇)didn’t hit me right away, but I knew it 23  would． A warm-hearted boss whispered into my ear,“    24   yourself , you will be on their list．”

     The whole message seemed   25    ． As a rising department head, I had learned to   26   well act properly． All my efforts and contributions(贡献)got me  27    and job satisfaction in return． That idea guided me through all years of steady advancement．

But the demission did fall． I could hardly  28   with it when the phone call finally came． At 45, with a child in college, I was completely   29    ． Suddenly I found out that I was doing a poor job   30    myself, I visited different people, had various interviews, and

  31   hours of waiting and answering the same question: yes, I was fired; no , not for my own   32    ; yes , I’m eager to find work ; no I won’t   33    just any job． My goal was to land a position   34    to the lost one． But nothing was happening．

It was cold, the job market was even colder． I was becoming  35    about day-to-day living expenses． 36     my wife listened patiently to my complaints and the   37    of friends was extremely useful, I didn’t want to  38    them or face well-meaning but unanswerable questions．

With anxiety   39    , I changed my mind and decided to try any kind of work I could find． Then one day,   40     was finally with me again．

I have no one           me, for I am a new comer here．
