17、 clearly. Still, I was never bored. The fields, hills, and woodlands around my home were the perfect playgrounds whose adventures were only limited by my imagination. I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake and slowly walking around it. At the backside of it I was amazed to find an old, one lane
18、, dirt road that I had never seen before. I immediately set out to travel it. It was full of muddy tire tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure. I walked on and on for what seemed like hours. I am sure my guardian angel was whispering in m
19、y ear to turn around and head back home but I was stubborn and even a bit stupid, so I walked on.

20、 scared.

26、eard that “Red Bull gives you wings”. But while most people take the advertising slogan as a metaphor（隐喻）, some Americans seem to have taken it very seriously.

27、d by the ad, he took the issue to court.In October, the Austria-based company agreed to pay $ 6.5 million (39.7 million yuan) to customers who have bought the drink since 2002. People in the US can apply for a share through before March 2015.But is the case really that ridiculous?Red Bull said they
28、had done nothing wrong and they only paid the money to save the cost and trouble of legal action.However, the suit（诉讼） told a different story. Even though there is no evidence that Red Bull energy drinks provide more benefit for consumers than a cup of coffee, the company markets their products as a
29、 superior source of energy that costs little.“Such conduct means that Red Bulls advertising and marketing is not just puffery (吹捧) but is misleading and therefore actionable (可诉讼的) ,” the suit said.The company said that the drink could promote healthy joints and reduce the risk of eye diseases. Howe
30、ver, according to the organization, the product contains a lot of sugar, which could actually lead to many health problems. Coca-Cola agreed to pay $ 1.2 million in compensation in July.

36、 Do you ever wonder why trees begin to bud (发芽) earlier in some cities? Scientists finally found the answer but its not very pleasant. New science suggests a relationship between light pollution and the timing when trees produce buds, which signals the arrival of the spring season.Light pollution is
37、 defined by the Lighting Research Center as the unwanted consequence of outdoor lighting such as street lights. Excessive (过多的) man-made light at night results in disturbed natural cycles, and also prevents the observation of stars and planets at night. But its effect on the environment goes beyond
38、that.By studying some trees, researchers found out that trees that are more exposed to artificial lighting at night bud up to 7.5 days earlier than those at the natural nighttime setting. And they found out that light had a more significant effect than temperature when the buds came out. The early b
39、udding may cause problems for insects, which feed on leaves, and the birds which then feed on them in turn. Professor Richard French Constant, who helped lead the research, explained that more than the budding of trees, the study implies the danger to the balance of the ecosystem. “At the moment, ca
40、terpillars (毛毛虫) are timed to hatch to make the most of the opportunities to feed on freshly budded leaves, and birds hatch in time to feed on the young caterpillar,” he said.Migratory (迁徙的) birds are also negatively affected by light pollution. The glare might confuse them and make them lose their
41、flying sense. The phenomenon might explain why some birds accidentally knock into buildings.Such results stress the need to pursue studies that aim to measure the effect of light pollution. If the issue were left to continue, it is estimated that by 2100, spring would begin almost a full month earli
42、er than it does today.32.What will happen if there is too much man-made light?A. Peoples eyesight will be damaged. B. The ecosystem will likely lose its balance.C.

It might push insects to hatch more slowly.34. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. The effect of light pollution is des
44、tructive. B. The spring of 2100 will become much longer.C. Light pollution should be taken seriously. D. A further study on light pollution is scheduled.35.
