But before doing that, make sure you have examined its shortterm and longterm environmental effects.Lets start simple: consider the great number of gallons of clean, drinkable water that would be wasted by my crying in the shower. Scientists dont have a precise estimate of how much water might be lost, but, considering the length of my listening to the recent two sad albums during the shower, the amount is sure to be catastrophic.Make no mistake: running from my sweet hug leaves a set of carbon footprints. Your leaving me will start a swift chain of events that results in me at a bar, drunkenly cursing at you with my friends. At the end of the night, I will be forced to take a taxi home instead of the subway. Those extra carbon dioxide releases are a breakup byproduct, as are the singleuse plastic bottles of Glacier Freezeflavor Gatorade Ill surely buy the next morning.Some effects are more hidden. Should you kick me to the roadside, you must anticipate that I am going to sit there eating ice cream. I will eat ice cream a lot every day, because I have seen sad women do this in movies. This, of course, causes ecological disaster. Not only do dairy cows produce greenhouse gas, but industrial dairy farming can cause the destruction of prairies(北美草原), forests, and other ecosystems. You might meet other interesting women in your life, but good luck replacing North Americas wetlands!Breaking up with me is a very personal choice, and no one can make it for you. I only hope that you have gained a helpful new way of thinking, one broad enough to deal with the world that waits for you in your singlehood. There might be “other fish in the sea”， but will there be actual fish in the real sea? It doesnt look good. Alternatively, we could stay together and preserve this beautiful blue sea for our grandchildren. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and I eagerly wait for your decision.()58.

To remind her boyfriend to care for the environment.B. To state the shortterm and longterm environmental effects.C. To persuade her boyfriend not to break up with her.D. To reveal her disappointment and sorrow after the breakup.CPeople think of cats as cute. But research published in a psychology journal calls them neurotic(神经质的) and unstable. Researchers from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland and the Bronx Zoo in New York compared the personalities of domestic house cats with those of four different types of wildcats.To better understand their personalities, the researchers rated a number of animals behaviors on what psychologists call the Big Five human personality traits(特征)Domestic house cats have similar personality structures to African lions. “Its what cats do pretty much on a daily basis, things like being anxious, being timid, being excitable, being aggressive toward humans, being aggressive toward each other，” said Max Wachtel, a Denver psychologist who didnt participate in the study. “All of those are characteristics you see in those cute little house cats, and you also see them in lions.”If you ever thought your cat was anxious, insecure, tense, suspicious or aggressive toward you, you arent making it up, he said. If they were bigger, they probably would consider killing you.But the news isnt all bad: Just like lions, house cats are also playful, excitable and impulsively funny. They just arent very predictable. One moment cats will be enjoying belly scratches, and the next they will be biting you to make you stop.“It is good to understand the personality characteristics of our pets，” Wachtel said. “Different cats have different personalities, but as a species, there are a lot of commonalities.”The researchers also studied personality traits of Scottish wildcats and some other animals. “Across the five species we assessed, personality structure was strikingly similar and also seemed to be related to other studies findings, such as in tigers，” the researchers wrote in their study in the November 2014 issue of the Journal of Comparative Psychology. But house cats were most like lions, potentially because they live in semisocial surroundings and lions are the most social of cats.“Theyre cute and furry, but we need to remember when we have cats as pets, we are inviting little predators into our house，” Wachtel said. “Cats can be fantastic, sweet companions until they turn_on you.”()61. Cats can be described as _A. funny and safe B. playful and stableC. fantastic and devoted D. neurotic and unpredictable()62. How did the researchers conduct the research?A. By making comparisons. B. By analyzing cause and effect.C. By giving examples. D. By providing explanations.()63. Which of the following “turn on”s shares the same meaning as the underlined phrase?A. The book really turned me on to science.B. Upon entering the room, he turned on the light.C. The hungry suddenly turned on each other for food.D. The trial turned on the medical evidence presented by the defense.()64. Which of the following can be used as a suitable title?A. Cats are best pets. B. Domestic cats and wildcats.C. Your cat may want to kill you. D. Different cats, different personalities.DId done it before, and so I had no reason to believe that this time would be any different. I was sure that when I returned home from my mission trip, as always, Id bring back nothing more than some mud on my boots, a hole or two in my jeans and, of course, a lot of great memories.The summer before my high school graduation, I went to West Virginia with others as volunteers to repair the homes of those in need. Arriving at our destination, my group was assigned the task of rebuilding sections of a home that had been damaged by fire. No sooner had we parked on the homes dirt driveway than we saw an excited little girl, no more than six years old, standing in the doorway of the familys temporary home. Shoeless and wearing dirty clothes and the biggest smile Id ever seen, she yelled, “Ma, Ma, they really came！” I didnt know it then, but her name was Dakota, and four more days would pass before shed say another word near me.Behind Dakota was a woman in a wheelchairher grandmother, wed soon learn. I also discovered that my job that week would be to help change a firedamaged dining room into a bedroom for this little girl. Grabbing our tools, we went to work. Over the following days, I noticed Dakota peeking at us every now and then as we worked. A few times, I tried talking with her, but she remained shy and distant, always flying around us like a tiny butterfly but keeping_to_herselfBy our fifth and final day, however, this was about to change.Before I went to work on her home on that last morning, I spoke for a moment or two with the grandmother. I was especially pleased when she told me how much Dakota loved her new roomso much, in fact, that shed begged to sleep in it the previous night, even though it wasnt quite ready. As we talked, I noticed somet
