Is it good for your heart? Does it increase blood pressure? Does it help you concentrate? However, coffee affects the health of the human population in other ways, too.Traditionally, coffee bushes were planted under the canopy(树冠) of taller native trees. However, more and more farmers in Latin America are deforesting the land to grow full-sun coffees. At first, this increases production because more coffee bushes can be planted if there arent any trees. With increased production come increased profits.Unfortunately, deforesting for coffee production immediately decreases local wildlife habitat. Native birds nest and hide from predators(捕食者) in the tall trees and migrating birds rest there.Furthermore, in the long term, the full-sun method also damages the ecosystem because more chemical fertilizers and pesticides(杀虫剂) are needed to grow the coffee. The fertilizers and pesticides kill insects that eat the coffee plants, but then the birds eat the poisoned insects and also die. The chemicals kill or sicken other animals as well, and can even enter the water that people will eventually drink.Fortunately, farmers in Central and South America are beginning to grow more coffee bushes in the shade. We can support these farmers by buying coffee with such labels as “shade grown” and “bird friendly.” Sure, these varieties might cost a little more. But were paying for the health of the birds, the land, ourselves, and the planet. I think its worth it.24. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Coffee is becoming more expensive to produce.B. Farmers are changing the way they grow coffeeC. People should buy full-sun coffee.D. Shade-grown coffee is more popular than sun-grown coffee.25. What does increased production of full-sun coffee bring about?A. More insects. B. Better quantity coffee. C. Higher profits. D. larger farms.26. How do farmers find more land for growing full-sun coffee?A. They buy more land from other farmers.B. They move to another country.C. They cut down trees.D. They turn grassland to farmland27. The full-sun method may affect the following EXCEPT_.A. air B. birds C. human D. insectsCThere is no doubt that to study abroad gives you an excellent opportunity to learn things which are very helpful in your career building.

You will soon get used to your surroundings and find new friends at your new school.Leaving old friends and familiar places behind can be difficult.

This can help you to find your way around the school and to make new friends faster.While moving is tough on kids of any age，high school counselor Karen Turner says moves can be particularly difficult for teens.“I think moving during adolescents is an extremely stressful experience，especially if you are into your junior high or senior year. Students tend to have established a very strong peer network during that period in their lives. Often this has more influence on them even than their families in some cases，and when they are torn from that theres often resentment(怨气)”However，Turner adds that while moving isnt easy，there are things that your parents and the school can do to help you deal with the change.32.

But we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. “ People worry about showing their emotions, afraid that once they lose control theyll never get it back.” 37 . After we cry, the feelings that caused the tears often disappear, Sometimes people become much stressed and cant cry. Whatever emotion they are feeling-shock, anger, fear, or sadness is being held back.But everyone has the need to cry.

It will help you feel better. “And,” she adds, “Once your tears have taken away the stress, you can begin to think calmly of ways to deal with the problem.”Tears are a sign of our ability to feel.
