My parents met in Fiji when my father was a teacher as a Peace Corps volunteer and my mother a student. They taught me about its people, culture, foods and religious beliefs. At the age of two, I made my first trip across the Pacific Ocean to Fiji. My mother and I made that trip unexpectedly because my grandma was ill and longed to see her American granddaughter. Although I have few memories of that first trip, I do remember grandma braiding (编辫子)my hair every day. The brush gliding through my hair is a feeling I will treasure forever because she passed away soon. I returned to America when I was five years old. This time I had a brother, Martin, who was two. I resisted my third trip to Fiji when I was 15, being a teenager who did not want to spend the summer away from friends. It was this trip, however, that made me realize that Fiji is not just a place to visit but a part of who I am. The smells and sounds and sights came back to me, but the best part was getting to know my relatives. Vishal was one cousin I quickly bonded with. Born two days before me, I had only known him through pictures before. Though raised oceans apart in different cultures, we talked and laughed about everything from American sports to Fijian dancing. I was able to form close ties with all my cousins, and when I talk about them now, its as if I have known them my whole life. Spending time with them helped me understand the traditions and values my mother grew up with. Hospitality and care and respect for family members are central values in Fijian culture. I truly enjoyed learning about my roots during this trip. Fiji is just like a second home, and I will never forget the time I have spent there. 36.

It was a night jump, and we were jumping low, he recalls. We were training. Somebody got too close to my parachute (降落伞).The parachute below blocked Reeds air and his parachute failed to open. Reed crashed a hundred feet to the ground, breaking his back in five places. The next morning, Reed could not move. Doctors said it was likely that I would never walk again. Reed stared out of his hospital window, wondering what the future would be like. It was the saddest moment of his life. The experts are telling me my body doesnt work! What am I supposed to do? he thought. To distract (转移注意力) himself, he picked up a book: Robert Heinleins Starship Troopers. The science-fiction describes a set of man-made muscles that would allow people to carry 2,000 pounds. He thought that if he could build something like that, it might be able to lift him out of his wheelchair. So he began his project and finally succeeded in building a set of robot legs. Several years later, he made an amazing recovery and was able to get up and walk away from his wheelchair. He even jumped out of an airplane again to celebrate. Reed wanted to do something for others with the second chance that life had given him. He has now perfected the robot legs that can get the injured, the elderly and the paralyzed (瘫痪的) out of their wheelchairs. Now he has started his own company to make the legs. Ive seen them compete in marathons and go swimming and mountain climbing, he said. So never give up!39. Monty had an accident in 1986 because_.

Books with Title That Begin with the Words How to DFour decades ago a group of college students visited the mountains of Borneo to examine moth (蛾) populations. Now a team of British scientists, including a member of the original trip, has returned to the same sites to repeat the survey. They have found that, due to rising temperatures, the insects now live 68 meters higher. Global warming is forcing tropical (热带的) species uphill to escape the rising temperatures at a rate of nearly 2 meters a year, the new study from Borneo suggests. Since this was the only chance to repeat the original survey, the scientist did everything they could to do it exactly the same way, going at the same time of year, in July and August, using photographs to find the exact original sites of the moth traps. While this is the first study of insects, a few other studies of tropical species are starting to appear, said Thomas. If you look across all those studies, youll find the same results, and its extremely difficult to think of any other explanation for them. While some species might survive by finding places on the mountains with temperatures similar to those of their original habitats, others may run out of habitat on the rocky peaks, warns the study. In a paper in the journal Naturein 2004, Thomas and 13 other experts analyzed the habitats of 1,100 species on five continents, and estimated that on average one quarter were at risk of extinction. Last year a paper published in the Public Library of Science in the US warned that the risk of extinction in the tropics was becoming more and more serious. The authors, Jana and Steven Vamosi, estimated that 20-45% of tropical species were at risk of extinction.47. If the temperature continues to rise at the same rate for ten years, the insects will live about _.A. 6.8 meters higher B. 19 meters higher C. 34 meters higher D. 68 meters higher48. Whats the problem for some species moving up mountains?A. Therell be too little space.B. The temperature will be much too low.C. They will be at greater risk of extinction. D.

A. this survey of moths has been carried out many timesB. some scientists have put forward other explanations for the resultsC. scientists tried to repeat the original surveyD. 20-45% of tropical species were estimated to be at risk of extinction in 200450. Which of the following has been mainly discussed in the passage?A. Climate change forcing moths higher. B. Protecting moths from extinction. C. How to research tropical moths. D.

He was a real artist of his trade and it took him only 19 minutes to open the most difficult safe he had ever encountered. In about 10 years, helped by his brother Stefan and two friends, he took about $330,000 from the safes of 28 banks in Austria. On his last job, early in 1999, he left the safe door open and $80,000 behind. With the money ws a note, We dont need all that much. A witness (目击者) recognized his car and Streit was caught by the police. Then he was sent to Austrias Stein Prison to serve a six-year sentence. He boasted (吹嘘) at his trial that he would continue breaking the law, I am a thief and I shall use every opportunity. Despite the warn-ing, prison officials moved Streit to the prisons blacksmith (铁匠) shop. One day during the week before Christmas, Streit disappeared. Searchers found all his doors were well locked. Streit had managed to make a set of keys and let himself out. Not to freedom, though. After crossing into Bavaria, Streit attracted the suspicion (怀疑) of German customs police on purpose and got himself arrested. I want to be in a German prison,he explained to the surprised police. As German courts give much milder (温和的) sentences for crimes like mine and will reduce the time I would otherwise have served in Stein Prison. In prison, Streit persuaded his keepers to let him make a Christmas Eve telephone call to his former keeper, Karl Schreiner of Stein Prison. Im sorry if I caused trouble. I didnt want to embarrass anybody by escaping. Conditions werent that bad. In fact the food was better than it is here.51.
