florida. it is the largest wilderness in the entire country and makes up 25% of the wetlands in the state. the park is home to several rare and endangered species. it is also the third largest national park in the us, after death valley and yellowstone. each year, about 1 million tourists visit the park. on a global level, it has been announced as a world heritage site. unlike most other national parks, everglades national park was created to protect an ecosystem (生态系统) from damage. in 1947, president harry truman spoke at the official opening of everglades national park, saying the goal of creating the park was to protect forever a wild area that could never be replaced. 10,000 different islands make up everglades national park. each of these islands is lived by natural wildlife. the everglades is home to about 15 species that are endangered. in addition, more than 350 bird species and 300 species of fresh and saltwater fish live within the park. the everglades is also home to 40 species of mammals and 50 reptile species. there are many ways to explore the everglades. visitors can see alligators (短吻鳄) while hiking the anhinga trail. the everglades is one of the only places on earth where freshwater alligators and saltwater crocodiles live in the same area. visitors using airboats are likely to see large groups of birds. some visitors might enjoy riding bicycles through shark valley. others may want to move slowly through waters where they can see insects and wildlife closely. according to experts, changes to the everglades are becoming a danger to several different kinds of wildlife. they say it is a result of actions the us government began more than 50 years ago, and settlers began even earlier.

always had a bad reputation, but now scientific research has showed that daydreaming may actually improve your mental health and creativity. it can even help you achieve your desired goals.now some people are taking a fresh look at daydreaming. some think it may be a very healthy thing to do. researchers are finding daydreaming, they tell us, is a good means of relaxation. but its benefits go beyond this. a number of psychologists have conducted experiments and have reached some surprising conclusions.dr. joan t. freyberg has concluded that daydreaming contributes to intellectual growth. it also improves concentration, attention span, and the ability to get along with others, she says. in an experiment with school children, the same researcher found that daydreaming led the children to pay more attention to details. they had more happy feelings. they worked together better. another researcher reported that daydreaming seemed to produce improved selfcontrol and creative abilities.but thats only part of the_story. the most remarkable thing about daydreaming may be its usefulness in shaping our future lives as we want them to be. industrialist henry j. kaiser believed that much of his success was due to the positive use of daydreaming. he maintained that “you can imagine your future”. florence nightingale dreamed of becoming a nurse. the young thomas edison pictured himself as an inventor. for these famous achievers, it appears that their daydreams came true.of course daydreaming is no substitute (代替者) for hard work. you have to work hard to develop skills. daydreaming alone cant turn you into your hearts desire. but in combination with the more usual methods of selfdevelopment, it might make a critical difference. and who knows: you might see your own daydreams come true.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。一直以来，人们都认为白日梦是浪费时间。然而，现代科学研究表明，白日梦实际上可能改善精神健康和提高创造力，还有助于实现想要达成的目标。8from the scientific research, a few minutes daydreaming will _.arelieve stress

either in favor of continuing or in favor of ending space exploration. a common response would be that space exploration is a waste of money. an average american, uneducated on the subject, might believe that the government is wasting billions of dollars on the research that has no value. someone strange to the subject might say that a space shuttle goes up once in a while and that is about all that happens. research is ongoing and continues when there are no shuttles being launched. this also costs the government money. does the extreme cost of space exploration make sense?one argument is that the government is wasting money on the research not being used on earth. actually, the money goes to workers and scientists that support national aeronautics and space administration (nasa) missions, and goes to major companies that play important roles in major sectors of the us economy. boeing is a partner of nasa for aircraft, the same company that makes commercial aircraft for the airline industry.another benefit to continuing space exploration is the many technologies it provides. the artificial (人造的) heart resulted from experiments on the space shuttle. the handheld jaws of life used to save victims from car accidents resulted from the system used to separate the space shuttle from its booster rockets. insulation (隔热板) in homes that keeps them warm and energy efficient is based on the technology used to insulate the space shuttle.there are direct benefits to the economy provided by nasa missions as well as those technologies. these advances are found in food, building materials, medical procedures and the vehicles we drive. while it can be proven that billions of dollars that could be used elsewhere is being spent on space exploration, the benefits it provides outweigh the terrible aspects. as a matter of fact, the money spent helps to improve the quality of our lives.语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。很多美国人对政府投入巨资用于太空研究存在质疑，那么这是否值得呢？本文作者就此问题指出了将钱投入太空研究的诸多好处，如经济航班的使用，还有太空研究所提供的许多技术，以及带来的经济利益等。12how is paragraph 2 mainly developed?aby offering analyses.bby making comparisons.cby

accidentsbdo experiments on the space shuttleckeep houses warm and energy efficientdseparate the space shuttle from its booster rockets解析：选a细节理解题。根据第三段第三句可知，救生颚的作用是用来拯救出车祸的人。故选a。14in the authors
