climate change during the next 50 years will affect grazing（放牧）animals such as bison and cattle in the great plains.“bison are one of our most important conservation animals and hold a unique role in grasslands in north america,” craine said. “in addition to their cultural and ecological significance, theyre economically important. there are about half a million bison in the world.” craine analyzed a data set of 290,000 weights, ages and sexes collected from 22 bison herds（兽群）throughout the u. s. the organizations kept annual records of each animal in the herd and matched the data with the climates of the sites.based on differences in sizes of bison across herds, craine found that during the next 50 years, future generations of bison will be smaller in size and weigh less. climate is likely to reduce the nutritional quality of grasses, causing the animals to grow more slowly.“we know that temperatures are going to go up,” craine said. “we also know that warmer grasslands have grasses with less protein（蛋白质）, and we now know that warmer grasslands have smaller grazers. it all lines up to suggest that climate change will cause grasses to have less protein and cause grazers to gain less weight in the future.”craine said the results of climate change in coming decades can already be seen by comparing bison in cooler, wetter places with those in warmer, drier places. for example, the average 7-year-old male bison in south dakota weighed 1, 900 pounds, while an average 7- year-old male bison in oklahoma a warmer place weighed 1, 300 pounds.“the difference in temperature between those two states is around 20 degrees fahrenheit, which is about three times the projected increase in temperatures over the next 75 years,” craine said. “it is a clear indicator that long-term warming will affect bison and is something that will happen across the u.s. over the next 50-75 years.”24. in the next fifty years, researchers say, bison will _.a. become smaller and lighter b. disappear in the great plains c. play a less important part d. adapt to different climate changes25. the underlined word “grazers” probably refers to _. a. the researchers b. the grasses c. the bison d. the protein26. what is the main reason for the bison to become smaller? a. the deceasing amount of grass. b. the rising temperature. c. the rising number of bison. d. the loss of weight.27. paragraph 5 is written as an example to show _. a. craines prediction will come true in 50 years b. bison are smaller than in the past c. the nature balance is being destroyed d. bisons size is linked with different climatec museum of the moving image(mmi)(monday closed)as the best museum in new york city and with a balance of hands-on(实际操作的)activities and information, its the rare

saying studies showed a clear link. “our suggestion is for people to increase their intake (吸入，摄入), through diet or a vitamin supplement,” dr. cedric garland said in a telephone interview.garlands research team reviewed 63 studies, including several large long-term ones, on the relationship between vitamin d and certain types of cancer worldwide between 1966 and 2004. “theres nothing that has this ability to prevent cancer,” he said, urging governments and public health officials to do more to fortify (增强) foods with vitamin d. garland is part of a university of california at san diego moores cancer center team that published its findings this week online in the american journal of public health. vitamin d is found in milk, as well as in some fortified orange juice, yogurt and cheeses, usually at around 100 international units（iu）a serving. “people might want to consider a vitamin supplement to raise their intake to 1000 ius per day” garland said, adding that it was well within the safety guidelines established by the national academy of sciences.the authors said that taking more vitamin d could be especially important for people living in northern areas, which receive less vitamin d from sunshine.“african americans, who dont produce as much of the vitamin because of their skin colour, could also benefit significantly from a higher intake,” the authors said.32. according to the passage, people are advised to take more vitamin d, because_.a. it is nutritious b. it cant harm peoples healthc. it can lower cancer risk d. it is not taken enough every day33which of the following can not help people get more vitamin d?a. have some sunshine b. have more meat c. have more fortified cheese d. have a vitamin supplement34who can garland probably be?a. a health researcher b. a doctor c. a scientist d. a public health official35. people from which area should take more vitamin d according to the passage?a. asian people b. african people c. american

that everyone struggles with confidence. some people are good at hiding it, but nearly every person has struggled with his or her self-confidence at one point. 36 accept compliment politely. when someone compliments you, make eye contact, smile, and say “thank you”. it shows that youre polite and have a secure sense of self-worth. if youre still uncomfortable taking compliments, try giving one back after youve accepted one. 37 38 thats a simple and an effective psychological technique to become confident. when you are talking louder you are sending the signal that you are confident, and as you make it as a habit you will feel more confident. but dont be dominating(专横的).look the part. or, as the saying goes, “fake it till you make it.” 39 devote a little time each day to make sure youre
