warned. “this is pretty hot.” a moment later, kent and alyssa added another hot dish to the table. “that smells so good!” said michi. “are most of the parents here yet? im hungry.” kent looked through the doors that led into the hallway. “i think ms. milano and mr. hasselbach just finished giving them the garden touring. they should be heading into the cafeteria next.” ms. milano handed drew, michi, and emilio a box each. they opened their boxes as ms. milano continued. “as a thank-you to these students for their creative idea and hard work, they have each received a stepping stone (垫脚石) for the garden. their names and the date appear on the stones.” she turned to them. “students for years to come will be enjoying the garden that you helped create,” she said. “we thought it would be appropriate for them to have a reminder of our gardens founders.” they held up their stepping stones and smiled as the crowd clapped. “and now,” said ms milano, “please help yourself to some of the

wildlifebut only if they can kick their habit of urban sprawl (无计划的扩展). thats the finding of a new study by leading australian environmental researchers jessica sushinsky , professor hugh possingham and dr richard fuller of the university of queensland.“while urban development usually reduces the number of bird in a city, building more compact (紧凑的) cities and avoiding urban sprawl can slow these reductions greatly,” says lead author jessica sushinsky. “compact housing development leaves birds homes untouched, leading to fewer losses of birds.”the researchers surveyed native and wild birds in brisbanes urban areas, including living and industrial areas, public parks and gardens, major roadways and airports. they then used statistical modeling to find out what will happen to the birds as the city grows. the first setting was compact growth where multiple homes are built on land that previously had only one house. the second setting was sprawling growth a familiar pattern where homes are built here and there beyond the citys current boundaries.the teams forecasts showed that a much greater diversity of species was lost over 20 years in the sprawling setting compared to the more compact setting. “urban sprawl resulted in the disappearance of many urban-sensitive birds- birds that only live in areas where there is native vegetation (植被), such as parklands and woodlands,” ms sunshinsky says.“on the other hand, we found the city with the compact development attracted more birds because it kept more of its parks and green areas.”now the queensland government has adopted the more compact urban growth strategy, which, dr richard fuller says, is good news for australias native birds. these birds are environmental specialists they need a particular environment to do well. “while compact development means smaller backyards, it can also make our entire cities more biodiverse,” according to dr fuller. “the study shows that we should hold on to our green spaces instead of clearing them for sprawling development.”this is the first time science has modeled the effects of different urban growth strategies on birds, the researchers say. statistical model like these are important because they help us to understand the ecological consequences of a particular decision,” says dr fuller.61. the study deals with the relationship between_a. city development and birdsb. the environment and birdsc. humans and wildlife d. climate and wildlife62. why is compact urban growth better than the sprawling strategy?a. it makes the cities more beautiful.b. it gives people larger backyards.c. it is money-saving.d. it is bird-friendly.63. dr richard fuller thinks the queensland governments action_a. is really braveb. is worth praisingc. has an uncertain futured. should be performed nationwide64. what can we learn about the study from the text?a. it is based on the statistics in the past.b. it is strongly against urban development.c. it criticizes the city environment in brisbane.d. it suggests leaving more green spaces for birds.65. where does the text probably come from?a. a news report.b. a travel guide.c. a book reviewd. a government report.cdeena varshavskaya had a hotter-than-hot idea for a start-up business, but she didnt have the money to do much about it. so, she posted (发帖）her idea on angellist, a website that connects enterprisers with deep-pocketed angel investors (投资者）willing to financially back people like her. within two weeks, her first potential investor offered $500,000.but she turned it down because she was receiving even better offers from others around the world. instantly we started getting e-mails from investors, people that ive read about, people that ive heard about, says varshavskaya, whose site, wanelo, now has more than 1.5 million users.online services such as angellist allow enterprisers to connect with angel investors they would never otherwise meet. last year, some 66,230 companies received $22.5 billion through angel investors, up from 36,000 receiving $15.7 billion in 2002. since it was founded in 2010, more than 500 companies have found funding through angellist.these websites work like online dating sites. enterprisers provide a description about themselves and their company, and angel investors look through the site looking for promising start-ups. enterprisers can also search descriptions of investors to see whos funded start-ups similar to theirs. just like online dating, though, an online description is no magic bullet (灵丹妙药）for success. even angellist founder naval ravikant says most angel investors need to get to know a companys founder or founders in person, and investors want recommendations from a trusted source before they invest. angellist is great for an initial introduction, though.investors like being able to find start-ups online almost as much as enterprisers like getting funding. jonathon triest, chief of detroit-based ludlow ventures, says half his investment came from angellist, which lets him connect with start-ups across the country.it has allowed me to operate from detroit or have access as if i were in the silicon valley or on the east coast or wherever the hotbed of start-ups happens to be, says triest.although wanelo is based in san francisco, varshavskaya says she was contacted (联系） by investors all over the world from europe to south africa. i probably would have been able to do it on my own, but it probably would have taken a much longer time, she says. i cannot imagine how people did it without angellist.66. angellist is a website that _. a. was founded in 2002b. is based in san francisco c. joins start-ups with investorsd. teaches enterprisers how to find investors67. an angel investors may finally decide to fund an enterpriser after_. a. having an online discussionb. having a face-to-face meeting c. consulting with angellists founderd. looking into the descriptions carefully68. we can infer from the text that triest is a (n) _. a. enterpriserb. angel investor c. staff member of angellistd. website manager from detroitdwhat if we could replace oil with a fuel which produced no pollution and which everybody had equal access to? the good news is that we can. in fact, we are swimming in it- literally.hydrogen is one of the building blocks of the universe. our own sun is basically a big, dense cloud of the stuff. and hydrogen can be used to create electricity for power, heat and light.the problem is that hydrogen is everywhere and nowhere at the same time. it does not exist as a material on its own, but is always part of something else. so it has to be separated before it can be used. most commercial hydrogen in use now is created from natural gas. as oil will start to run out in around the year 2030, it makes sense to produce as much hydrogen as possible as soon as we can. but natural gas supplies will also begin to run out soon after. another source is needed. researchers are now using electricity to make water into hydrogen. companies are working on the
