In choosing Steven Chu as his energy secretary （能源部长），Barack Obama has chosen one of the most prominent U.S. scientists of using science to deal with global warming（全球变暖）.

Steven Chu was born in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1948. His father was a college teacher. At that time, they were only the third Chinese family to live there. In high school, Chu played tennis and was on the school club. He took his first physics class in his senior year at Garden City High School and became interested in it.

Steven Chu got his first doctor’s degree in maths and physics in 1970. Then he went to California for another doctor’s degree. In 1978, Chu worked in Bell Lab where he developed ways to cool and trap atoms using a laser （用激光冷却和俘获原子）. In 1997, he got the Nobel Prize for physics for this. He left Stanford in 2004, after he was made head of the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab In California. As the head of the national lab, Chu has tried to find scientific ways to climate change and soon become a member of the Climate Council working for a new global climate treaty （气候条约）for 2009.

He also insists on the need to end the unnecessary waste of energy. “If I were King of the world, I would spend the next ten years on energy efficiency and conservation （节能和环保）,” he said last year.

On December 11th, 2008, Barack Obama made him energy secretary. He would be the first Chinese-American to run the Department of Energy and devote himself to sustainable （可持续发展的）energy.

With the Double Ninth Festival(重阳节) coming on October 2 and Halloween(万圣节) on October 31, many people are asking this question: Should Chinese kids celebrate Western festivals? I think the answer is Yes, Yes and Yes!

It is not how important each festival is, because every festival is about having a good time. Anybody can do that! Festivals are a great chance to learn about other cultures — and in a fun way.

Halloween is one of my favorites. When I was younger, we would go “trick- or-treating” on Halloween night. All the kids would dress up and go door- to-door shouting “trick or treat!” At each house, we’d get candies and chocolate. Things haven’t changed much for me. This Halloween I’ll be going to a party where everyone will dress up. I’m lazy, so I’ll just throw a white sheet over my head, cut out two holes for eyes and call myself a ghost(幽灵).

I hope that there are lots of Chinese people — young and old — having Halloween parties of their own this year. It’s a good way to bring people together. In fact, not only should Chinese kids celebrate Western holidays, but Western kids should start celebrating Chinese holidays. It would be great for me to go back to Canada and see all the children giving each other moon cakes on the Mid-autumn Festival or lighting fireworks (烟花) on the Chinese New Year.

So, join the fun and have a happy Halloween and a great Double Ninth Festival!

63. What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this text?

A. To introduce Western festivals.　　　　　　　　　　

B. To explain what Halloween means.

C. To tell people how to celebrate festivals.

D. To give his/ her opinion about celebrating holidays.

64. The writer thinks that______.

A. people should understand what each festival stands for

B. festivals help people understand each other’s cultures

C. people should dress up to celebrate festivals

D. Western and Chinese festivals are the same

65. The underlined sentence in the third paragraph means “______.”

A. I still like celebrating festivals　　　　 B. I still hope not to grow up

C. I still hope to celebrate Chinese festivals

D. I still like dressing up as much as I used to

66. The writer holds the idea that______.

　A. Canadian kids should learn from Chinese kids

　B. the Double Ninth Festival and Halloween should be celebrated on the same day

　C. people should celebrate both Western and Chinese festivals

　D. Western and Chinese festivals are quite different

Koalas are looking like toys. It’s hard to find another animal that is so beloved internationally. But love alone is not enough for the koala’s future.

When not asleep a koala feeds on eucalyptus(桉树) leaves, especially at night. Koalas do not drink much water and they get most of their water from these leaves. The eucalyptus forests(丛林) that have been home to koalas are being increasingly cleared for housing, farms and roads. And according to Deborah Tabart, the director of the Australian Koala Foundation(基金会), each tree lost just adds difficulty to these animals’ lives. Well, this is exactly the koala habitat that used to be all over Australia. And in the last two hundred years since we’ve been here, we’ve cleared about 80% of this. So the foundation is pushing for a National Koala Act, a law to protect the remaining forests.

According to a 1996 study done for the foundation, the koalas are a big money maker, making around three quarters of a billion U.S. dollars every year for Australia. The Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary in Brisbane connects koala protection and tourism with the joy of visitors.

The foundation says a large number of koalas have been killed over the past two centuries and that the population has been becoming smaller and smaller: from about ten million to possibly fewer than 100,000, which is why the foundation has decided to make the National Koala Act come true.　

59. How many koalas are there in　Australia　now?

A.　About 10 million.　　　　　　　 　 B. About 1 million.

C.　About 100,000.　　　　　　　　 　 D. About 10,000.

60. How are koalas described?

A. They are always asleep.　　 B. They are loved so much.

C. They look very strange.　　 D. They eat all kinds of forests.

61. Why are the forests cleared?

A. Because more and more roads and houses are built.

B. Because more and more people move to these areas.

C. Because the koala population is growing rapidly.

D. Because Koalas cannot be moved to zoos.

62. What influence would the National Koala Act have?

A. No more eucalyptus trees would be cut down.

B. Land owners would plant eucalyptus trees on their farms.

C. The clearing of forests would be controlled.

D. Australians would have a good future.
