14.The 2016State of North America's Birds report was published by the North American Bird Conservation Initiative(NABCI) last Wednesday at the Museum of Nature in Ottawa,Canada.The report-for the first time-assesses(評估)conservation status of 1,154 native bird species that occur in Canada,the continental United States,and Mexico,as well as oceanic birds that occur off these three countries.However,the findings were distressing.Over one-third of all North America bird species are most at risk of extinction without significant conservation action.
"North American migratory birds(候鳥)are on the decline (下降).But these birds link us,they unite us,and we have a shared duty to them and to the environments they are closely tied in with,so it requires international teamwork,"said Christian Artuso,a biologist at Bird Studies Canada."This will come back to bite us if we don't deal with it while we still have a chance."
The threat to bird populations has brought nations together to try and save them from extinction."Canada,the United States,and Mexico share an amazing wealth of birds.And not one of them carries a passport,"said Catherine McKenna,Canadian federal Environment and Climate Change Minister."Partnerships like this allow us to‘spread our wings'beyond our own nests."
This week policymakers,scientists,and nonprofit leaders met in Ottawa,Canada,to discuss the results of the study and how to increase conservation efforts in the continent.
The authors recommend various ways to take action to save the homes of at-risk birds.For seabirds,the report suggests expanding protected areas in the sea,signing agreements to cut plastics pollution,managing fisheries to protect fish populations upon which the birds feed,and making sure the birds do not get caught in fishing lines or nets.
"The thing about migratory birds is they connect us.What we do up here in Canada affects what goes on down in the southern US and Mexico and even further beyond,throughout the whole hemisphere(半球),"said Artuso.

9.You might have heard about identity theft,it's what can happen when a thief gets enough of someone's information to commit fraud(詐騙).Why should people care about it?Because recovering a stolen identity can be a time-consuming(耗時)and expensive process.Imagine that someone pretends to be you,they use your name,they even convince businesses that they're you and they open a credit card in your name,get a cell phone in your name,or buy things using a credit card and your name on it.
ID thieves can be creative about getting your information.There are some low-tech ways they get it:sometimes they steal garbage,going through it to find personal information,or they steal mail.
There are high-tech ways,too.ID thieves might put software onto your computer without you knowing it,it can happen when you open an email attachment,click on a pop-up(彈出窗口)advertisement,or download some music files.Some software lets a thief see everything on your computer,and record everything you type on your computer.
Unfortunately,even if you're really careful with your personal information,thieves can still get it.Sometimes,they hack(入侵)into computer systems at stores or schools,hospitals or businesses.They look for persona information to use or sell to other thieves.
It's pretty easy for you and your family to make it harder for a thief to steal your identity.You can start with the low-tech defenses:being careful with your mail and garbage.Tear anything that has personal information on it before you throw it away.And be sure to take care of your purse,your wallet,or your backpack.You'd better keep your Social Safely card in a safe,locked place at home.
Practice same routine higher-tech defensive plays to protect your computer by installing(安裝)and turning on an up-to-date firewall along with anti-spyware and anti-virus software.Once you are online,be careful with your personal information.Some sites might ask for a credit card number,stop and check if they really need that number.When you get email or pop-ups on your computer,don't respond automatically.Emails that ask you to reply or click a link could be thieves trying to trick you into giving them your personal information.It's a technique called"phishing",because the thieves are fishing for your information.Stop and think before you click.

61.The purpose of the first paragraph is to fell readers thatB.
A.people worry about identity theft
B.it is important to avoid identity theft

B.It is out of control at present.
C.It will eventually be stopped.
D.It can be prevented in some simple ways.
64.The underlined word"plays"in Paragraph 6 probably meansD.
A.tasks         B.games        C.exercises       D.a(chǎn)ctions
65.Which of the following is an effective way of preventing identity theft?B

6.How to Be a Great Best FriendEveryone wants to be a great best friend but doesn't know how or where to start that perfect friendship.The following will help you.
Be your own best friend first.(36)AIf you can't respect yourself,then you can't respect others.Understand what values are important to you and stick to them.Seek out others who honor those values because you'll only end up hurting yourself and possibly others if those people don't have the same values as you.
Trust each other.(37)FAll you have to do really is make sure you can both trust each other.Don't try to trick or use your friend to your advantage;you need to make them know they can trust you.
Learn to listen.Nobody likes a best friend who just talks and talks,but never listens.If you're a chatterbox,try to develop good listening skills.Whenever your best friend says something,listen carefully and say something.(38)CIf they ask for advice,listen carefully and give them the best advice you can.
Care for your best friend.If your best friend is upset,ask them what's wrong,They might not tell you straight away,but they should in the end.(39)EUnderstand that certain things are private,and trust that they'd be just as patient with you if you were in their shoes.
Let your friend have other friends,too.If your best friend picks another friend over you,try to be friends with their friend too.(40)BEveryone is always looking for new friends.But never leave the old one;your loyalty is what the other person expects and counts on every day.

A.Learn how to respect yourself.
B.Maybe you guys can be a group of friends!
C.Don't interrupt while they're talking to you.
D.Best friends are the most valuable friends you have.
E.If they don't tell you,don't get angry at them.
F.To be a great best friend really doesn't take much.
G.Take time out of your day to appreciate the funny things in life.
