11、 a wallet is one of those careless acts most of us have come across, at some point or the other in our lives.

12、 it.And then there is Hunter Shamatt, who not only got back his wallet but with some added happiness that was tagged along!Hunter was on his way to attend his sisters wedding on a Las Vegas-bound flight when he realized that he has misplaced his wallet, sometime during the journey. Hunters family re

13、ached out to the Frontier flight to enquire if someone had handed it over to them. Unfortunately, there was no sign of the missing wallet.But wait. The story was far from over. Just a week after Hunters sisters wedding, he received a package in his mail. And guess what? There was his wallet! Surpris

14、ingly, the wallet was not the only thing that was inside the package. It also had a handwritten note for Hunter which turned out to be a bonus! The piece of paper read,“Hunter, Found this on a Frontier flight from Omaha to Denver row 12, seat F wedged between the seat and wall. Thought you might wan

15、t it back. All the best.P.S. I rounded your cash up to an even $100, so you could celebrate getting your wallet back. HAVE FUN!”Moved by the touching gesture, Hunters mom, Jeannie Shamatt, decided to write a post on Facebook giving a detailed description of the incident. She also urged everyone to s

16、hare the post as she would like to meet and greet the person behind the act of kindness, personally.Now, thanks to the astonishing power of social media, the post finally reached the man behind the note. The man was identified as Todd Brown and it was one of his co-workers who made sure Jeannie Sham

17、atts post reaches his colleague. Jeannie turned to Facebook again to thank Brown and his family for restoring her faith in humanity.“I try to teach my children to do the right things in life, help people when you can regardless of the outcome.

21、the right way-by stopping abruptly and completely.In her Study, participants were randomly(随机地) assigned to two groups. One had to quit abruptly on a given day, going from about a pack a day to zero. The other cut down gradually over the course of two weeks. People in both groups used nicotine repla

22、cement, like gum or spray. They also had talk therapy(疗法) with a nurse before and after quit day.Six months later, more people who had quit abruptly had stuck with it-more than one-fifth of them, compared to about one-seventh in the other group. Although these numbers appear low, it is much higher t

23、han if people try without support.And the quit rates were particularly convincing given that before the study started, most of the people had said theyd rather cut down gradually before quitting. “If youre training for a marathon, you wouldnt expect to turn up and just be able to run it. And I think

24、 people see that for smoking as well. They think, Well, if I gradually reduce, its like practice,” says Lindson-Hawley. But that wasnt the case. Instead of giving people practice, the gradual reduction likely gave them addiction and withdrawal symptoms(脱瘾症状) before they even reached the day, which c

25、ould be why fewer people in that group actually made it to that point. “Regardless of your stated preference, if youre ready to quit, quitting abruptly is more effective,” says Dr. Gabriela Ferreira. “When you can quote a specific number like a fifth of the patients were able to quit, thats acceptab

26、le. It gives them the encouragement, I think, to really go for it,” Ferreira says.People rarely manage to quit the first time they try. But at least, she says, they can maximize the odds of success.1、What dose Lindson-Hawley say about her mother?AShe quit smoking with her daughters helpBShe was also

27、 a researcher of tobacco and healthCShe studied the smoking patterns of adult smokersDShe succeeded in quitting smoking abruptly2、What kind of support did smokers receive to quit smoking in Lindson-Hawleys study?AThey were given physical trainingBThey were offered nicotine replacementCThey were enco

30、ies（犬科动物）in the world.In the past five years, the species population in the wild has dropped by half.The US Fish and Wildlife Service had been working for decades to reintroduce the species into the wild,but the organization recently put the program on hold.According to Cindy Dohner,the southeast re

32、bsite that the decision made by the Fish and Wildlife Service falls well short of what is needed to continue red wolf recovery.The red wolf was declared an endangered species in 1967.By 1980,it had been hunted to extinction（灭绝）in the wild.Some hunters thought the red wolves were coyotes（土狼）, so most

33、 people killed them because they believed wolves were dangerous and would attack people.This wrong belief has made it difficult to restore the species, because people are afraid to have red wolves reintroduced near human communities.Experts say that one way to fight these fears is simply to teach pe
