As the strong winds gusted against the kites, a string kep

They shook and pulled, but the controlling string and the clumsy tail kept them in tow(牵引), facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled and trembled against the string, they seemed t
16、o say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!” They flew beautifully even as they fought the forced restriction of the string. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose. “Free at last,” it seemed to say. “Free to fly with the wind.”Yet freedom from control simply put it at the mercy o
17、f an unsympathetic gentle wind. It flew ungracefully to the ground and landed in a twisted mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. “Free at last”. Free to lie powerless in the dirt, to be blown helplessly along the ground, and to settle down lifeless against the first roadblock.How much like k
18、ites we sometimes are. There always exist misfortunes and restrictions, rules to follow from which we can grow and gain strength. Prohibition is a necessary counterpart to the winds of opposition.

26、ersity, draws on his own researchincluding one of the largest studies of happiness and potential at Harvard and others at companies like UBS to fix this broken code.

33、ouve probably done it. It happens the day following a bad nights sleep. Youre sitting in a long meeting and you can barely keep your eyes open, so you support your head up with your hand. Next thing you know, you are moving your sleeping head back to its upright position. Do this a few times and you
34、 are woodpeckering.I thought I knew sleep deprivation when I did my medical internship(实习) in hospital. That year I frequently went 36 hours with no sleep. When I finished my stay in neurology(神经内科), I welcomed the promise of full nights of sleep ever after. It went pretty well for the next 10 years
35、 until I became a school teacher and experienced a whole new level of sleep deprivation.Teachers working hours go far beyond the 8 am to 5 pm schedule of kids in school. There are hours spent at staff meetings, correcting homework, preparing for the next day- and then there is the worrying. What I d
36、id in a hospital emergency room required no more intensive mental energy than what is need to keep 30 kids attentive enough to learn what I was teacher.Good teachers are like magicians keeping a dozen balls in the air to come at right time, with alarm set for 6 am to finish grading papers, memories
37、of the day thats gone- including the students who didnt understand something, forgot their lunch or were embarrassed by wrong ansers. All these will become sleep-resistant barriers. And also with some financial stress, youll have a cycle of insomnia(失眠) with unwelcome consequences.With inadequate sl
38、eep comes irritability(易怒), forgetfulness, lower tolerance of even minor annoyances, and less efficient organization and planning. These are the very mental nuseles that teachers need to meet the challenges of the next day. In wanting to do a better job the next day, the brain keeps bringing up the
39、worries that deny the rest it needs.36. After a bad nights sleep, usually the direct effect for the next day is to _.A. keep ones eyes open all the timeB. move head back and forthC. raise ones head in upright positionD. keep nodding like a woodpecker37.

43、ians(不如、爬行、两栖动物) and other life forms has been published by the well-known scientific journal, Nature. A special analysis carried out by the journal indicates that an astonishing 41% of all amphibians on the planet now face extinction while 26% of mammal species and 13% of birds are similarly threat
44、ened.Many species are already critically endangered and lose to extinction, including the Sumatran elephant, Amur leopard and mountain gorilla. But also in danger of vanishing for the wild, it now appears, are animals that are currently rated as merely being endangered.In each case, the finger of bl
45、ame points directly at human activites The continuing spread of agriculture is destroying million of hectares of wild habitats(栖息地)every year, leaving animals without homes, while the introduction of newly-come species, often helped by humans, is also damaging native populations. At the same time, p
46、ollution and overfishing are destroying ocean ecosystems.“Habitat destruction, pollution or overfishing either skill off wild creatures and plants or keaves them badly weakened,” said Derek Tittensor, an ocean ecologist at the World Conservation Monitoring Centre in Cambridge. “The trouble is that i
47、n coming decades, the additional threat of worsening climate change will become more and more common and could then kill off these survivors.”The problem, according to Nature, is worsened because of the huge gaps in scientists knowledge about the planets biodiversity. Evaluations of the total number
48、 of species of animals and plants alive vary from 2 million to 50 million. In addition, evaluations of current rates of species disappearances vary from 500 to 36, 000 a year. “That is the real problem we face,” added Tittensor. “The scale of uncertainty is huge.”In the end, however, the data indica
49、te that the world is heading cruelty towards a mass extinction-which is defined as one involving a loss of 75% of species or more. This could arrive in less than a hundred years or could take a thousand, depending on extinction rates.41. Whats the main idea of the first two paragraphs?A. Figures about some wild animals are astonishing.B. “Nature” is the famous journal around the world.C. Many endangered species are close to extinction.D. Some rare species have appeared ar
