types of people in this world：those who get to the airport early and those who arrive as the plane is about to take off.if there were any justice in this world，the earlyairport people would be rewarded for doing the right thing and the lateairport people would be punished.but the earlyairport people get ulcers(溃疡)，heart attacks and bite their fingernails to the bone (急得团团转)the lateairport people are hardly aware that they are flying.a guy of that kind once said，“dont hurry.if you miss your flight，its because god didnt want you to go.”this is clearly a guy who is never going to get an ulcer.earlyairport people suffer another“name”they are called exactly what they arewimps(懦夫)i know i am an earlyairport person for years.my luggage will get on the plane first，which makes it the last luggage they take off the plane after landing.another strange thing：no matter how early i showed up，i was always told that someone had called two or three years ahead of me and asked for the best seat.i figured it was a trick.i figured there was someone in america who called every airline every day and said，“is that wimp simon flying somewhere today？if he is，give me his seat.”after a lifetime arguing with my wife over whether i really have to pack 24 hours in advance and set the alarm clock four hours ahead，i have learned another fact about earlyairport people and lateairport people：they always marry each other.1we can learn from the passage that_.alateairport persons often get ulcers or heart attacksbearlyairport persons are always relaxed during the flightcearlyairport persons get their luggage first after landingdlateairport persons always take things easy解析：细节理解题。从第二段及第三段所举事例可知，晚到机场的人总是沉得住气，不慌不忙，故选d。从第二段第二句可知a项和b项错；从第四段最后一句可知c项错。答案：d2the fifth paragraph mainly tells

temperature, humidity and nutrient availability seem to have trumped the benefits of increased carbon dioxide,” said researchers from the national university of singapore45 percent of the species studied now reach smaller adult sizes than they did in the past. the researchers pointed out that warmer temperatures and changing habitats, caused by climate change, are possible reasons for shrinking creatures“ we do not yet know the mechanisms involved, or why some organism are getting smaller while others are unaffected,” the researchers said“until we understand more, we could be risking negative consequences that we can t yet quantify”the change was big in cold - blooded animalsonly two decades of warmer temperatures were enough to make reptiles (爬行动物) smaller. an increase of 1 degree centigrade caused nearly a 10 percent increase in metabolism(新陈代谢). greater use of energy resulted in tiny tortoises and little lizards. fish are smaller now too. though overfishing has played a part in reducing numbers, experiments show that warmer temperatures also stop fish growth. there is a recent report on warmer temperatures negative effects on plankton(浮游生物), the base of the marine ecosystemwarm - blooded animals werent immune from the size change caused by climate changemany birds are now smaller. mammals have been miniaturized too. soay sheep are thinner. red deer are weakerand polar bears are smaller, compared with historical recordsthis is not the first time this has happened in earth s history55 million years ago, a warming event similar to the current climate change caused bees, spiders and ants to shrink by 50 to 7
