main characters in the book that shares stories about greeting newcomers, helping others in wheelchairs, reaching out to the lonely and performing various other acts of kindness. and this storys ending has yet to be penned.the school has been planning “columbias book of kindness” for the past year. the 1,000-page, hardcover book was designed by columbia jewish day school educator jane muller. since last february, students and community(社区) members have been encouraged to write down acts of kindness in the book they have shown to others or have received.“when you turn the pages, youll see some wonderful things going on,” said muller, who founded the school 21 years ago with her husband rabbi meir muller.muller, a poet and book artist, said the book offered her the chance to use her art to bring something meaningful to the community. she said she hopes to help young people in particular understand the importance of making a difference where they are, rather than just looking to other acts of kindness.those lessons appeared to be catching on at school in recent days, as a group of students shared some of their stories with each other. eight-year-old will obradovich shared how he had helped his neighbors with their pet, while ten-year-old samantha beckmer designed a page showing how she believes a community should care for its people, the animals and the environment. “when we spread the kindness book around, it will encourage more people to be kind,” samantha said. ten-year-old jack lamey said the stories shared in the book have inspired(激励) him to look for new ways to be kind to others.“columbias book of kindness” will be circulated to various places in the community in the coming months of 2014. at each stop, people will be invited to share their stories about kindness through poetry, drawings and photographs. the goal is to fill the 1,000 pages before the book is officially presented to the city.“let your story inspire others,” jane muller said. “let others inspire you. its columbias book.”55jane muller designed the book to .ainspire acts of kindnessbprotect the environmentcencourage creative writingdimprove students writing skill56we can infer

resources, such as clean water and land.why? the banks argue that people need to value the planets resources differently because they are being used up. so the banks want to put a price tag on those resources, to be charged when companies and governments use up a lot of them. these resources are called natural capital.at a meeting held by the united nations in 2012, people from many different countries and organizations got together to talk about how to help the environment. almost 40 of the worlds most powerful banks then reached an agreement called the natural capital declaration. the agreement says that a system would be set up by the year 2020 to determine prices for “the earths natural resources (land, air, water, plants and animals), and the ecosystem(生态系统) services resulting from them, which make human life possible.”how would this work? the natural capital declaration would ask that banks pressure (对施压) governments and companies to tell them how much of the planets resources they use each year. if they use too much, they should pay. if they use very little, they should be rewarded.it may not be easy to get governments to agree with this plan. but its also hard to determine how much a company should pay for destroying a forest, for example. trees in forests which companies can cut down to sell wood or build houses help clean the air, collect rain, and create food and homes for animals.however, a group set up by the banks has been charged with figuring out the costs of overuse or destruction of these resources.“at the moment overuse of natural capital is not seen as a business risk,” said liesel van ast, who manages the group. “we are hoping to change that attitude and get companies to pay a price for overuse of natural capital.”59. which of the following cannot be called natural capital?a. water b. soil c. fire d. wood60. the natural capital declaration aims to .a. develop new recourses b. protect the environmentc. collect money for the world d. make full use of the natural resources61. the fifth paragraph shows carrying out the plan is very .a. unfair b. correct c. important d. difficult 62. what would be the best title for the text? a. what is nature worth?b. what is natural capital? c. how to use natural resources?d. how to make human life better? da flood occurs when water is too much. this can happen in many ways. most common is when rivers run out of their banks. too much rain, a broken dam, ice in the mountains changing into water, or even an unfortunately placed dam can break down a river and send it spreading over the nearby land, called a floodplain. coastal flooding occurs when a large storm causes the sea to push inland hard.most floods take hours or even days to develop, giving people enough time to prepare or leave. others come quickly with little warning. these flash floods can be extremely dangerous, immediately turning a river into a thundering wall of water and sweeping everything in its path down.disaster experts divide floods into different types according to their possibility of occurring in a given time period. a hundred-year flood, for example, is an extremely large, harmful event that would theoretically(理论上) be expected to happen only once every century. but this is a theoretical number. in reality, this classification(分类) means there is a one-percent chance that such a flood could happen in any given year. over recent ten years, possibly due to global climate change, hundred-year floods have been occurring worldwide pretty regularly.moving water has terribly harmful power. when a river rushes out of its banks or the sea drives inland, buildings poorly equipped to resist(抵抗) the waters strength are no match. bridges, houses, trees, and cars can be picked up and carried off. when floodwaters become weak, the affected areas are often covered with mud(泥). the water and land can be polluted with dangerous materials, such as rubbish, industrial pollution, and dirty water. people of flooded areas can be left without power and clean drinking water, leading to dangerous waterborne diseases.but flooding, particularly in river floodplains, is as natural as rain and has been occurring for millions of years.63. paragraph 1 mainly tells us .awhat a floodplain isbhow a flood formschow often a flood happensdwhy coastal flooding takes place64. which of the following is true according to the passage?amost floods do harm to humans.bdangerous floods develop slowlycflash floods have strong destructive force.dmost floods come without any sign.65. what is most likely to be discussed following the passage?aterrible floods in the worldbthe means of preventing floods.cthe connection between rains and floods.dfamous river floodplains like the mississippi
