a. it takes great effort for people to do them. b. they must be done after careful consideration. c. they can make a big difference to the receivers. d. they always mean a lot to people who do them.59. the text is written mainly to _. a. introduce two experiences of the author b. tell us not to be shy to receive others help c. remind us to smile at others in our daily life d. encourage us not to hesitate to help othersbwashingtontwo-thirds of the worlds polar bear population could be gone by 2050 if predictions of melting sea ice come true, the us geological survey reported on friday.the fate of polar bears could be even worse than that estimate, because sea ice in the arctic might be disappearing faster than the available computer models predict, the geological survey said in a report aimed at determining whether the big white bear should be listed as a threatened species.“there is a definite link between changes in the sea ice and the welfare of polar bears,” said steve amstrup, who led the research team. he says arctic sea ice is already at the lowest this year and is expected to retreat(退却) farther this month.that means that polar bearssome 16,000 of them - will disappear by 2050 from parts of the arctic where sea ice is melting most rapidly, along the north coasts of alaska and russia, researchers said in a telephone briefing(简报).other polar bears could survive beyond that date but many of those could be gone by 2100, amstrup said. by this centurys end, the only polar bears left might live in the canadian arctic islands and along the west coast of greenland.“it is likely to result in loss of approximately two-thirds of the worlds current polar bear population by the mid 21st century,” the reports executive summary said.“because the observed trajectory(轨迹)of arctic sea ice decline appears to be underestimated by currently available models, this assessment of future polar bear status may be conservative(保守的).”in january, the us fish and wildlife service proposed listing the polar bear as a threatened species, noting polar bears depend on sea ice as a platform to hunt seals, their main food.without enough sea ice, polar bears would be forced onto land, but they are poor hunters once they get out of the water and ice, the researchers said. the bears disappearance would probably take place as young cubs(幼兽)failed to survive to adulthood and females were unable to reproduce successfully.60. what was the us geological survey intended to do?a. to determine whether the polar bear was in danger.b. to measure how fast the sea ice melts in the arctic.c. to check the predictions of the computer models.d. to find out the exact number of the polar bear.61. what causes the polar bears to disappear by 2050?a. the pollution of the arctic region.b. the sea ice melting at high speedc. fewer food sources being left.d. the temperature getting colder.62. the key to preventing polar bears dying out seems to _.a. help young polar bears to survive the cold winterb. have large number of seals living in the oceansc. make sure there is enough sea ice in the arcticd. provide chances for adult polar bears to reproduce c you have the ability to decide if you are happy or not. happiness is a choice. you cant depend on someone else to make you happy. that is a lesson i learned early in my marriage. i realized that i couldnt rely on my husband as my source of happiness. i learned that my happiness depended on me and not my husbands actions. i learned that you have to choose to be happy. you can choose your emotions. true happiness comes from within, and it cant be forced by outside forces. so how do you choose happiness? the same way you choose to smile or choose to wear a certain suit. you choose it because thats what you want to experience in your life. you wan to buy a new pair of shoes so you choose a pair that you like and feels good. you wouldnt buy a pair of shoes that you dont like or that dont fit well, right? so why do we keep choosing emotions and feelings that dont make us feel good? choosing to be happy after you realize your anger has shown up or choosing to be calm can be good for you. if we let others influence our emotions, we are giving them power over us. when others cause us anger or pain, we are giving them our power. we need to keep our feelings in check and not react to what is thrown at us. we need to think our actions out instead of just reacting to what someone says or does. remember that we can always choose happiness. at first it will be difficult to just switch your thoughts and feelings from anger, self-doubt, or fear to joy and happiness. but it is only a thought away. dont live on what happens to you unnecessarily but realize what is causing you to feel that way. realize that thoughts, feelings and emotions can change. then move on and choose to be happy.63. the text mainly talks about_. a. anger is only a thought away b. people have different feelings at different time c. we shouldnt list the reasons for our various emotions d. one can change ones feelings and choose to be happy64. the lesson the writer learned in her marriage is _. a. she can depend on her husband to find happiness b. balancing the relationship between the husband and wife is an art c. one cant rely on someone else to make himself or herself happy d. happiness can be influenced by outside forces65. why did the writer mention buying shoes? a. to offer advice on how to choose comfortable shoes. b. to compare choosing shoes and choosing a suit. c. to help to move to the next paragraph easily. d. to use it as an example explaining the importance of choosing to be happy.66. the writer suggests that we should_. a. let others give power over us b. respond immediately to others words c. hold back our feelings properly d. live on what happens to you dforeign drivers will have a pay on-the-spot fines of up to 900 for breaking the traffic law to be carried out next month.if they do not have enough cash or a working credit card, their vehicles will be clamped（扣留）until they pay and they will face an additional fee of &80 for getting back their vehicles.the law will also apply to british citizens. the fines will be described officially as “deposits” when the traffic law take effect, because the money would be returned if the driver went to court and was found not guilty.in practice, very few foreign drives are likely to return to britain to deal with their cases.foreign drivers are rarely charged because police cannot take action against them if they fail to appear in court, instead, officers often merely give warnings.three million foreign-registered vehicles(车辆） enter britain each year. polish vehicles make up 36 percent, french vehicles 10 percent and german vehicles 9 percent.foreign vehicles are 30 percent more likely to be in a crash than british-registered vehicles. the number of crashes caused by foreign vehicles rose by 47 percent between 2003 and 2008.there were almost 400 deaths and serious injuries and 3,000 slight injuries from accidents caused by foreign
