The nicotine (尼古丁) remaining in smoked filters (滤嘴) may serve as a natural insecticide (杀虫剂), driving harmful insects away from the nests and the baby birds living within. Tobacco plants produce nicotine because it defends against insects that would otherwise eat the plants.The butts are undoubtedly smelly. But birds are actually quite fond of smelly chemicals, such as those found in aromatic (芳香的) plants. Some nest-building species regularly fill their nests with fresh aromatics, possibly because the chemicals are good for the immune system or the development of the chicks. Alternatively, the plant chemicals might act as insecticides.In the study, researchers at the Autonomous University of Tlaxcala in Mexico set up heat traps, which attract harmful insects, in 55 nests around Mexico City. Some traps were lined with the stuff in smoked cigarette filters. The others were lined with the stuff from unsmoked cigarette filters, which did not contain nicotine and other smoking by-products. Whether the nest held eggs, chicks or nothing, the unsmoked cigarette traps collected more harmful insects, suggesting that it is the chemicals that drove harmful insects away.In a second experiment, the researchers collected 28 house sparrow nests and 29 house finch (朱雀) nests from Mexico City immediately after the chicks flew out for food. They found that the more smoked filter stuff filled a nest, the fewer harmful insects it had.The missing piece of the puzzle is whether the reduced number of harmful insects in the nests actually provided any benefit to the chicks. It is also unclear if nicotine or another chemical found in cigarettes may have turned the harmful insects out of the nests.If the results hold, then this study is an example of wildlife adaptation to urbanization or at least evidence that birds are smart and can still follow their noses in urban environments.1. What may be the function of nicotine in cigarette butts for birds?A. To drive harmful insects away from bird nests.B. To provide building materials for bird nests.C. To protect the plants from being eaten by insects.D. To attract baby birds to stay in the nests.2. What is the first experiment aimed at?A. Proving that heat traps attract harmful insects in Mexico City.B. Comparing smoked cigarette filters with unsmoked ones.C. Analyzing what is produced from smoked cigarette filters.D. Studying what it is that drives harmful insects away. 3. What can you infer from the passage?A. Birds tend to use insecticide to protect the baby birds.B. Nicotine is the only chemical that drives harmful insects away.C. Some insects are afraid of smelly chemicals in aromatic plants.D. Unsmoked cigarette traps attract more harmful insects.4. Where could you possibly see the passage?A. In a science reportB. In an urbanization essayC. In a tobacco advertisementD. In an anti-smoking brochureBA German study suggests that people who were too optimistic about their future actually faced greater risk of disability or death within 10 years than those pessimists who expected their future to be worse. The paper, published this March in Psychology and Aging, examined health and welfare surveys from roughly 40,000 Germans between ages 18 and 96. The surveys were conducted every year from 1993 to 2003. Survey respondents (受访者) were asked to estimate their present and future life satisfaction on a scale of 0 to 10, among other questions. The researchers found that young adults (age 18 to 39) routinely overestimated their future life satisfaction, while middle-aged adults (age 40 to 64) more accurately predicted how they would feel in the future. Adults of 65 and older, however, were far more likely to underestimate their future life satisfaction. Not only did they feel more satisfied than they thought they would, the older pessimists seemed to suffer a lower ratio (比率) of disability and death for the study period. We observed that being too optimistic in predicting a better future than actually observed was associated with a greater risk of disability and a greater risk of death within the following decade, wrote Frieder R. Lang, a professor at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. Lang and his colleagues believed that people who were pessimistic about their future may be more careful about their actions than people who expected a rosy future. Seeing a dark future may encourage positive evaluations of the actual self and may contribute to taking improved precautions (预防措施), the authors wrote. Surprisingly, compared with those in poor health or who had low incomes, respondents who enjoyed good health or income were associated with expecting a greater decline. Also, the researchers said that higher income was related to a greater risk of disability. The authors of the study noted that there were limitations to their conclusions. Illness, medical treatment and personal loss could also have driven health outcomes. However, the researchers said a pattern was clear. We found that from early to late adulthood, individuals adapt their expectations of future life satisfaction from optimistic, to accurate, to pessimistic, the authors concluded.1. According to the study, who made the most accurate prediction of their future life satisfaction? A. Optimistic adults.B. Middle-aged adults. C. Adults in poor health.D. Adults of lower income.2. Pessimism may be positive in some way because it causes people _.

How do people of higher income see their future? A. They will earn less money.B. They will become pessimistic. C. They will suffer mental illness.D. They will have less time to enjoy life.4. What is the clear conclusion of the study? A. Pessimism guarantees chances of survival.B. Good financial condition leads to good health. C. Medical treatment determines health outcomes. D. Expectations of future life satisfaction decline with age.VI. 单词拼写。1. She is better at reading than others because she has built up a wider v_.2.
