11、warm enough. We never moved a muscle all night, but waked at early dawn in the original positions, and got up at once, thoroughly refreshed. There is no end of medicine in such an experience. That morning we could have defeated ten such people as we were the day beforesick ones at any rate. But the

12、world is slow, and people will go to “water cures” and “movement cures” and to foreign lands for health. Three months of camp life on Lake Tahoe would bring back Egyptian mummy to life, and give him a healthy appetite. I do not mean the oldest and driest mummies, of course, but fresher ones. The air

13、 up there in the clouds is very pure and fine. And why shouldnt it be? it is the same the angels breathe. I think that hardly any amount of tiredness can be gathered together that a man cannot sleep off in one night on the sand by its side. Not under a roof, but under the sky; it seldom or never rai

14、ns there in the summertime. I know a man who went there to die. But he made a failure of it. He was a skeleton (骨瘦如柴的人) when he came, and could barely stand. He had no appetite, and did nothing but read tracts (小册子) and reflect on the future. Three months later he was sleeping out of doors regularly

15、, eating all he could hold, three times a day, and hunting game over the mountains three thousand feet high for fun. And he was a skeleton no longer, but weighed part of a ton. This is no fancy sketch, but the truth. His disease was consumption. I confidently recommend his experience to other skelet

Be very afraid,” says a character in The Fly, a horror film about a man who turns into an enormous insect. It captures the unease and disgust people often feel for the kingdom of cockroache

19、s, Zika-carrying mosquitoes and creepy crawlies of all kinds. However, ecologists increasingly see the insect world as something to be frightened for, not frightened of. In the past two years, scores of scientific studies have suggested that trillions of murmuring, droning, honeybees, butterflies an

20、d beetles are dying off. “If all mankind were to disappear”, wrote E.O.Wilson, a respectable entomologist, “the world would regenerate If insects were to vanish, the environment would collapse into chaos.”Most of the studies describe declines of 50% and more over decades in different measures of ins

21、ect health. The immediate reaction is shock. Insects enable plants to reproduce, through pollination (授粉), and are food for other animals, so a collapse in their numbers would be catastrophic.But a second look leads to a different assessment. Rather than causing a panic, the studies should act as a

22、timely warning and a reason to take precautions. That is because the worst fears are unproven. There are no studies at all of wild insect numbers in most of the world. Reliable data are too scarce to declare a global emergency.Moreover, where the evidence does show a collapsein Europe and Americaagr

23、icultural and rural ecosystems are holding up. Farm production still remains high. As some insect species die out, others seem to be moving into the niches (生态位) they have left, keeping ecosystems going, although with less biodiversity than before. It is hard to argue that insect decline is yet caus

24、ing significant economic damage.But there are complications. Agricultural productivity is not the only measure of environmental health. Animals have value, independent of any direct economic contribution they may make. The more species make up an ecosystem, the more stable it is likely to be. The ex

25、tinction of a few insect species among so many might not make a big difference. The loss of hundreds of thousands would.And the scale of the observed decline raises doubts about how long ecosystems can remain resilient (能复原的). An experiment in which researchers gradually pulled out insect pollinator

26、s from fields found that plant diversity held up well until about 90% of insects had been removed. Then it collapsed. Given the lack of data, it is impossible to know how close Europe and America are to an ecosystem collapse. But it would be reckless to find out by actually triggering one.1、What doe

27、s the underlined sentence in the first paragraph imply?AEcologists have long been afraid of those disgusting insects.BEcologists are worried about the disappearance of some insects.CEcologists have already got rid of the prejudiced feeling about insects.DEcologists are respectful of the insects abil

28、ity to regenerate themselves.2、What conclusion can we draw from the studies conducted in the past 2 years?AThough there is a decline in the number of insects, we still have the reason to be optimistic.BBiodiversity can cause immediate damage so that we should take precautions right away.CData collec

29、ted from all over the world is convincing to prove our environment is at risk.DThe consequence of decreasing biodiversity may be more serious than we can imagine.3、What is the purpose of writing the passage?ATo show the magical power of our mother nature.BTo analyze why insects are on the edge of ex

38、s. They want to encourage their children every day. But when it comes to building self-esteem (自尊) in children, praise doesnt always have a positive effect, according to a special edition of the journal Child Development. The issue, edited by Eddie and Thomas, is focused on research into how childre

39、n develop a sense of self and building your childs confidence takes different skills than you might think.Eddie points out that children are born without a sense of self, but it doesnt take long before some kids have a lot of confidence and may feel superior to peers, while others may carry more sel

40、f-doubt and see themselves as inferior. Yet no one really understands what causes children to view themselves the way they do. Surprisingly little is known about the origins of childrens self-concept,” Eddie said.Research has found that when kids have a warm, loving relationship with their parents,

41、they develop higher self-esteem. However, when they are given endless praise that is inequal to their achievements, their self-esteem may drop.Instead of lavish praise, parents should focus on warmth to build self-esteem, researchers have foundspecifically, parents should show interest in their kids

42、 activities and share joy with them. This makes children feel noticed and valued. According to Eddies own research, children may develop lower self-esteem when their parents give them lots of positive and overstated praises. Too much praise can make children worry about disappointing their parents,

43、and may lead to an unhealthy attitude toward failure. Other studies suggest that parents can teach children that failure is beneficial by encouraging kids to ask themselves: “Why didnt I achieve the result I wanted, and what can I do to change the outcome in the future?”Additionally, its important f

44、or parents to encourage the belief that kids can develop basic abilities through devotion and hard work. Kids who are praised for their effort instead of their ability are more likely to develop a growth mindset, which have a positive impact on their confidence.1、What does the special edition of Chi

They need to do mountains of research to make sure theyre

49、staying as true to life as possible.

But Garfield soon realized that he needed to learn not only the Doss outer characteristics, but also “the deepest part of himself”, he said. He traveled to Dos

52、s hometown. The actor wanted to walk where Doss walked and handle the tools Doss handled , while all the time keeping in mind how the research would affect his performance.“I dont think I could have gone too far in terms of getting to know who Doss was,” Garfield said. “But it cant be an impression
