Unusual trees, barking deer, fearless tigers and fish that climb out on land make this a fascinating place. Part of the largest delta （三角洲）in the world, Sundarbans sits where three rivers meet: the Ganges, the Brahmaputra and the Meghna. The Sundarbans delta is shared by both India and Bangladesh. Since 1984, the Indian part has been named Sundarbans National Park. In addition to being part of the largest delta in the world, Sundarbans is the worlds largest mangrove(红树林植物) forest and boasts the worlds largest tiger population.Although Sundarbans means “beautiful jungle” in the Bengali language, the name probably came from the many Sundari trees that grow here. These mangrove trees have unusual roots that hold them suspended (悬，挂) above the water line. Thanks to their specially designed roots, the mangroves can survive in the salty water of the delta. These rainforests by the sea also serve an important protective function, guarding the coastline from erosion and the regions people from the attack of tornado.The wonder of Sundarbans plant life is matched by the attraction of the animals. Some of the most appealing species include the barking deer, which makes a cry like a barking dog when alarmed. Then there is the mudskipper, an amphibious(两栖的) fish that walks on land and even climbs trees! By far the most scary creature of Sundarbans is the Royal Bengal tiger. Several hundred tigers call the region home, and they find the humans are easily hunted for food. Hundreds of people have been killed by the tigers here in recent years. Still, many tourists are eager for a glance at this rare and endangered species. However, few ever manage to see one. Maybe thats a good thing, considering the tigers hunting skills.With all of the natural wonders in Sundarbans National Park, its not surprising that it is a world Heritage sitea land mark of the world. And it is also among the finalists in the New 7 wonders of Nature contest. Find out why Sundarbans is such a world treasure by visiting the area yourself. Just getting there, however, will be quite an adventure, but youll come to love nature more than ever.29. We can learn from the passage that _.A.

Participants started by taking a questionnaire to measure their levels of optimism and pessimism.After 11 years, the researchers looked atthe optimism and pessimism levels of the 121 subjects who had died from CHD（冠心病coronary heart disease）. Turns out, those whod died from CHD had been more pessimistic at the start of the study than those who were still alive.The study didnt look intothe factors making pessimistic people more likely to die of CHD, but the researchers thinkthat a bad attitudecould cause inflammation that leads to heart problems, says lead researcher Mikko Pnklinen. “It has been found, for example, that depressed individuals have higher levels of inflammation markers in their blood,” he says.Even though pessimism increased death risk, high optimistic scores didnt protect against CHD-related death. Past studies have shown that too optimistic people tend to takemore unhealthy risks, says Dr. Pnklinen. “Too optimistic people may do unhealthy choices because they think that these choices wont harm them in any way,” he says. “This might explain at least some of our finding that optimism does not protect from CHD-related death. We cannot say if changing the attitude will lower the risk of CHD and CHD-related death. However, thinking more optimistic does not cause you any harm. Your best bet is putting extra effort into healthy habits like exercising regularly and quitting smoking. Still, giving a brighter outlook a try cant hurt.”33. Which of the following is true about the research?A. A good attitude will surely lower the risk of CHD-related death.B. Optimistic people are always wise to make healthy choices.C. A bad attitude is the only factor increasing CHD-related death.D. Pessimistic people are more likely to die from heart problems.34. According to Mikko Pnklinen, we should NOT _ if we want to reduce of the risk of heart problems.A. think more optimistic B. stick to our attitudeC. try a brighter outlook D. develop healthy habits35. What may be the best title for the text?A. How to Keep an Optimistic Attitude?B. What Could You Do to Escape Heart Disease?C. Could Pessimism Hurt Your Heart?D. Could Optimism Protect Against Heart Disease?第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）（原创）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Five Ways to Use Body Language to Build TrustTrust is very important in our daily life and work.
