2、 will have a better life. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion In this fast-paced world, many values are undergoing major changes. While people traditionally prioritize caring, sharing and generosity in life and work, modern people seem to be more self-absorbed and self-con

3、cerned. Modern people act selfishly to survive the harsh competition of life. They say that it is a jungle out there. To survive, you have to fight with whatever means that come handy. Obviously greedy and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas. In a company, employees do everything they can

4、to get better pay and higher position, even at the cost of colleagues. We are in any way advocating any selfish conduct. It is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way due to outside influences. In spite of common practice, it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on greed a

5、nd selfishness, both of which are not newly invented vocabulary. In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more condemned then. But we can not ignore the fact that people in the past lived a relatively more isolated life and faced less pressure compared wi

6、th their modern counterparts. Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them There is no fixed answer either. Some people take great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the opposite. But I personally think that people should not be too selfish. Caring for

7、 others can actually encourage the development of a mutually beneficial relationship. In conclusion, modern people appear to be more self-centered than those in the past due to strong outside pressure.

28、discovered that cooling may occur in areas where burnt trees allow more snow to mirror more sunlight into space. This finding suggests that taking steps to prevent northern forest fires to limit the release of greenhouse gases may warm the climate in northern regions. Usually large fires destroyed f

29、orests in these areas over the past decade. Scientists predict that with climate warming, fires may occur more frequently over next several centuries as a result of a longer fire season. Sunlight taken in by the earth tends to cause warming, while heat mirrored back into space tends to cause cooling

30、. This is the first study to analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climate. Earlier studies by other scientists have suggested that fire in northern regions speed up climate warming because greenhouse gases from burning trees and plants are released into the atmosphere and thus trap he

31、at. Scientists found that right after the fire, large amounts of greenhouse gases entered the atmosphere and caused warming. Ozone（臭氧） levels increased, and ash from the fire fell on far-off sea ice, darkening the surface and causing more radiation from the sun to be taken in. The following spring,

32、however, the land within the area of the fire was brighter than before the fire, because fewer trees covered the ground. Snow on the ground mirrored more sunlight back into space, leading to cooling. “We need to find out all possible ways to reduce the growth of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.”

33、Scientists tracked the change in amount of radiation entering and leaving the climate system as a result of the fire, and found a measurement closely related to the global air temperature. Typically, fire in northern regions occurs in the same area every 80 to 150 years. Scientists, however, found t

34、hat when fire occurs more frequently, more radiation is lost from the earth and cooling results. Specifically, they determined when fire returns 20 years earlier than predicated, 0.5 watts per square meter of area burned are soaked up by the earth from greenhouse gases, but 0.9 watts per square mete

35、r will be sent back into space. The net effect is cooling. Watts are used to measure the rate at which energy is gained or lost from the earth. 【小题 1】 According to the new findings, taking steps to prevent northern forest fires may _. A result in a warming climate B cause the forest fires to occur m

36、ore frequently C lead to a longer fire season D protect the forests and the environment there 【小题 2】 Earlier studies about northern forest fires _. A analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climate B indicate that forest fires will pollute the atmosphere C suggest that people should take

37、 measures to protect environment D suggest that the fires will speed up climate warming 【小题 3】 The underlined phrase “soaked up” in the last paragraph most probably means _. A released B absorbed C created D disturbed 【小题 4】 From the text we can draw a conclusion that forest fires in Alaska, Canada

38、and Siberia may _. A warm the climate as the assumption goes B allow more snow to reflect more sunlight into space and thus cool the climate C destroy large areas of forests and pollute the far-off sea ice D help to gain more energy rather than release more energy 答案： 【小题 1】 A 【小题 1】 D 【小题 1】 B 【小题

39、1】 B Whos in control of your life Who is pulling your string For the majority of us, its other peoplesociety, colleagues, friends, f amily or our religious community. We learned this way of operating when we were very young, of course. We were brainwashed. We discovered that feeling important and fe

40、eling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us. As Oscar Wilde puts it, “Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone elses opinions, their lives a mimicry(模仿 ), their passions a quotation.” So when people tell us how wonderf

41、ul we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this good feeling like a drug. Therefore, we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives, failing to do the things we really want to. Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix (一剂

42、毒 品 ). We worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval. But, just as with any drug, there is a price to pay. The price of the approval drug is freedomthe freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot control what other people think. People have their own agenda, and they c

43、ome with their own baggage and, in the end, theyre more interested in themselves than in you. Furthermore, if we try to live by the opinions of others, we will build our life on sinking sand. Everyone has a different way of thinking, and people change their opinions all the time. The person who trie

44、s to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted and probably pleasing no one in the process. So how can we take back control I think theres only one waymake a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think. We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values-not values imposed（强

45、加） from the outside by others, but innate values which come from within. If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others, we will live a more authentic, effective, purposeful and happy life. 【小题 1】 What Oscar Wilde says implies that _. A we have thoughts

46、 similar to those of others B most people have a variety of thoughts C most peoples thoughts are controlled by others D other peoples thoughts are more important 【小题 2】 What does the author try to argue in the third paragraph A We may lose ourselves to please others. B Changing opinions may cost us

47、our freedom. C We need to pay for what we want to get. D The price of taking drugs is freedom. 【小题 3】 In order to live a happy, effective and purposeful life, we should _. A care about others opinions and change opinions all the time B guide ourselves by means of values from the outside C persuade o

48、thers to accept our opinions D stick to our own values 【小题 4】 It can be concluded from the passage that _. A we shouldnt care what others think B its better to do what we like C we shouldnt change our own opinions D its important to accept others opinions 答案： 【小题 1】 C 【小题 1】 A 【小题 1】 D 【小题 1】 A Researchers Look Behind the Tears to S
