perhaps the idea of giving up meat doesnt appeal, but you may think twice after reading this. in reality, becoming a vegetarian can help a lot.being vegetarian could help the poor. a huge percentage of the worlds grain is fed to animals. apparently, if just 10% of this was given to poor countries, itd be enough to eradicate world famine. eating meat supports cruelty to animals. while its nice to think that animals are killed quickly and painlessly, it isnt always true. also, most livestock animals（家畜）spend their lives in small, cramped cages with no sunlight. some, such as battery-farm chickens, are bred specifically for meat, and are given chemicals so they grow more quickly yep! its a salad recent studies have shown that pigscows sheep and chickens are actually smarter than cats and dogs animals that most people would never dream of eating. cows can make lifelong friends with other cows, and show genuine excitement when they learn something new; and chickens and pigs have successfully completed complex tasks designed for chimpanzees. going vegetarian can help the environment. producing meat causes more than 40 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions. thats more than all the cars, trucks and planes in the world combined. the meat industry is also responsible for the destruction of forests (which are cut down to provide land for cattle), and it also creates pollution when transporting, manufacturing and packaging the meat. cows also emit a lot of methane gas（甲烷）, which is 23 times more damaging to the environment than carbon dioxide. in fact, one japanese study found that a kilogram of beef is responsible for more greenhouse gas than someone driving their car for three hours as well as leaving all their lights on at home. finally, studies show that a meat-free diet is good for your health. the excessive consumption of meat can lead to high cholesterol （胆固醇）levels, and is also thought to be a major cause of serious health problems such as cancer and heart disease. in general, vegetarians are slimmer and theyre know to live six to 10 years longer than meat eaters. and its a myth（荒诞的说法）that vegetarians arent as strong or healthy as meateaters just ask jackie chan and arnold schwarzenegger, who both agree that eating a vegetarian diet is a healthy way to live.going vegetarian helps feed the world, benefits animals, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. above all, going vegetarian is beneficial to our health. why not become a vegetarian? join us!56. producing meat _. a. causes over half of all greenhouse gas emissions.b. emits more methane gas than carbon dioxide.c. causes more greenhouse gas missions than all the cars, trucks and planes in the world combined.d. costs a lot of money and consumes a lot of energy. 57. according to the passage, eating too much meat can lead to the following except_.a. overweightb. high cholesterol levelsc. sleeplessnessd. heart attack58. what is the main idea of the passage?a/ health benefits of meat-free diet.b. reduction of greenhouse gas emission.c. advantages of balanced diets.d. top reasons for not eating meat.59. which of the following shows the structure of the passage?cp: central pointp: pointsp: sub-point（次要点）c：conclusionbnumerous academic studies have proven the positive effects that office plants can have in indoor environments. but can regular office plants really help when it comes to reducing office noise? the answer is yes, providing you know what youre doing. for example, one small lonely office plant on the end of your desk is not really going to have much impact on noise reduction, strategically positioned office plants or planted office displays can however help you to dim sound levels significantly. plants have been used for many years externally to help reduce the levels of traffic noise from reaching offices indoors. recent years have however, seen an increase in the number of office plants being used inside business premises as a means to reduce the levels of noise generated inside a building. if you find your noisy neighbor on the next desk more annoying than the drum of cars outside you will be pleased to hear that indoor office plants can also absorb or reflect background noise inside office buildings. not only does this create a more comfortable workplace for employees but is also potentially more profitable for employers as employees that are less distracted(分心的)should be more productive. office plant parts can actually break up sound waves resulting in a change of direction, thus a reduction in the frequency of the sound. a study at the south bank university even showed that common house and office plants could help to reduce noise levels by as much as 5 decibels!the research carried out by the south bank university in london, looked into the benefits of plants on acoustic levels and showed that plants were,m general, more efficient at absorloing noise at high frequencies. in comparison with other building materiais the plants proved themselves superior with specific praise going to the dracaena marginata（马尾铁树）and the ficus benjamina(垂叶榕)60. what would be the best title for the passage?a. a good way to improve indoor environments b. office plants can reduce office noisec. office plants can improve productivity d. a research on the effects o office plants61. what will happen if you put a small plant on your desk? a. it can reduce noise greatly. b. it doesnt reduce noise much. c. it can reduce nearby noise. d. it can prevent noise from coming into your ears.62. according to the researchers, plants are best at . a. reflecting background noise b. reducing noise at low frequencies c,. reducing traffic noise d. absorbing noise at high frequencies63. what do we know about the dracaena marginata and the ficus benjamina mentioned in the last paragraph?a. they are the most popular plants in offices. b. they are not very welcomed by office workers.c. they are quite effective in reducing office noise. d. they are pleasant to look at.c“success begin with belief and ends with doubt. “larina kase i remember reading through a book and the author was writing about being a reverse paranoid. in that particular section he mentions how he has a belief that the world hes living in, is out to give him everything he absolutely wants and desires. there are times when i think to myself, “wow, the world is out to get me and make me miserable.” then i thought, why cant i believe that the world is out to make me a better conversationalist. then i started adapting to the belief of the reverse paranoia. when i started talking to people, i truly believed that i was the most interesting person in the room. i believed that everything i said added value to the conversation. i believed that people stayed behind and chatted with me because they found me charismatic. as a matter of fact for about five months i wrote down on my bathroom mirror the following affirmation. “people love me and respect me. it is a privilege to talk to me. people find me interesting and charming and always want to get to know me better!”i would say the affirmation after i brushed my teenth. and i would continue to say it until i felt completely great about myself. there were days that i just wouldnt feel like saying it, because it would feel like a lie to me. but thats the trouble, like the quote says, success ends when theres doubt. and thats why i continued until i had no doubt in my mind. then strange things happened. i noticed that people did find me more interesting, and that i gained more confidence in talking with people. i was more assertive（坚定自信的）at work. i was able to control politics and gossip at work to minimal levels, and became a much better manager, and developed better customer relation to the point that sales were up by 20% compared to the year before, on my best month sales were up by 39%, and this was a year that a recession was happening. 64. the main purpose of the author is to _. a. explain how to be a reverse paranoid.b. share his personal experience in success.c. tell us the importance of positive thinking d. advise us how to improve our communication skills. 65. sometimes the author didnt feel like saying his affirmation because _. a. it didnt work as he had expected. b. he had become enthusiastic about conversations.c. he had felt great about himself.d. it didnt sound true to himself.66. we can infer from the last paragraph that the author _.a. didnt believe what had happened at work.b. didnt get along with others at work.c. had his performance at work affected by the recession. d. made great progress due to his affirmation. 67. the underlined work “charismatic” has a similar meaning to _. a. charmingb. boringc. generousd. honestd people used to think that wetlands were wasted land. developers would drain them with ditches, fill them in with tons of soil, and build houses, schools, and parking areas on them. then scientists began to realize the important role wetlands played in the environment. wetlands act like giant sponges during storms. they soak up extra storm water and afterward release it slowly back into the water cycle. this helps prevent flooding. towns where people have drained wetlands
