Professor Sir John Beddington says the effects of climate change on the weather are already being felt in the UK.“In a sense we have moved from the idea of global warming to the idea of climate change, and that is rather important. Temperatures are increasing and there are more changes in our weather,” he said.Even if effective action is taken now on global warming, he says there will be great climate change over the next 20 to 25 years as a result of past global problems.“We have serious problems in the world - in 12 years there will be another billion people on the planet and we have big issues of food security, water security and energy security, and many people will start to be living in cities,” he said. “These are serious problem; climate change is just going to make it worse.”He said there were some “uncertainties” in the analysis of climate and climate change. “But those uncertainties are completely unimportant in comparison（比较）with a great deal of evidence that shows it is happening in the sort of ways climate models would expect,” he said. “For example, the Arctic is heating up faster than other parts of the world - this is exactly what the climate scientists are predicting.”Sir Johns views were made as Britain experienced freezing cold weather and snow, with thousands of homes across the UK without power. England and Wales experienced 10 separate flooding events between April and December last year after widespread drought gave way to the wettest summer in a century, with unusually high rainfall totals and river levels around the country.1Which of the following is NOT one of the things that Sir John says?A.

But what is their most common response to seeing them again? It may seem strange，but most of the time they break down in tears.Now a group of psychologists from Yale University say they have found the reason why, and that crying tears of joy may well be the bodys way of keeping emotional balance. “They seem to take place when people are overtaken by strong positive emotions, and people who do this seem to recover better from those strong emotions,” Oriana Aragon, the lead researcher said.Aragon and her fellow psychologists looked at hundreds of participants emotional responses to different things, including happy reunions and cute babies. Many participants said they would react in a negative or aggressive way to the positive things to cry at happy moments and want to pinch(捏)a cute babys face or even tell them “I want to eat you up!” But then researchers found that these people were able to calm down from strong emotions more quickly.There are many other examples of times when people respond to a positive experience with a negative emotional reaction. At an exciting concert, fans scream at their idols(偶像). People who have just had a big lottery win are often in floods of tears. “These findings advance our understanding of how people express and control their emotions, which is importantly related to mental and physical health, the quality of relationships with others, and even how well people work together.” said Aragon6What have professors from Yale University found in their research?A. The reason why people cry with tears.B. Crying tears of joy helps to balance emotions.C. Strong negative feelings are useful to people.D. People recover slowly from strong emotions.7Which of the following agrees with the findings of the research?A. Crying at good news.B. Crying at a failure.C. Kissing a cute baby.D. Laughing at happy reunions.8Where does the passage most likely come from?A. A science fiction novel.B. A psychological science journal.C. A popular biology book.D. An adolescent literature book.New Orleans, Louisiana, was established as part of the French Empire in 1718. Its location on the east bank of the Mississippi River gave it control of the American hinerland and it became strategically important to many nations. It was transferred from France to Spain, returned to France, and finally sold by Napoleon to the United States in 1803. The city was the site of a famous battle fought in 1815 between the British, who hoped to control it, and the Americans under General Andrew Jackson. The riverbed of the Mississippi is constantly silting（淤积）and the river is now actually higher than the city. Levees hold back the river and giant pumps are used to move water from the city into the river. Although New Orleans has been a part of the United States for almost two centuries, its population takes great pride in its French heritage. Louisiana still retains parts of the Code Napoleon which, for many years, was its only law. New Orleans is carefree city and it boasts its hot, spicy Creole seafood and its native Dixieland Jazz. The Jackson Square neighborhood maintains its French colonial homes and in other sections are pre-Civil War mansions. Visitors are surprised to find that behind this interesting surface of yesteryear is a busy industrial and port city. Grain and coal come from the Midwest and foreign goods are unloaded here.
