18.The Galapagos Islands are in the Pacific Ocean,off the western coast of South America They are a rocky,lonely spot,but they are also one of the most unusual places in the world.One reason is that they are the home of some of the last giant tortoises(烏龜)left on earth.
     Weighing hundreds of pounds,these tortoises go slowly around the rocks and sand of the islands.Strangely,each of these islands has its own particular kinds of tortoises.There are seven different kinds of tortoises on the eight islands,and each kind is slightly different from the other.
     Hundreds of years ago,thousands of tortoises were around these islands.However,all that changed when people started landing there.When people first arrived in 1535,crews would seize as many tortoises as they could.They would roll the tortoises onto their backs when they were brought onto the ships.The tortoises were completely helpless once on their backs,so they could only lie there until used for soups and stews.Almost 100,000 tortoises were carried off in this way.
     The tortoises faced other problems,too.Soon after the first ships,settlers arrived,bringing pigs,goats,donkeys,dogs and cats.A11 0f these animals ruined life for the tortoises.Donkeys and goats ate all the plants that the tortoises usually fed on,while the pigs,dogs and cats ate thousands of baby tortoises each year.Within a few years,it was hard to find any tortoise eggs-or even any baby tortoises.
     Finally,in the 1950s,scientists decided that something must be done.The first part of their plan was to remove as many cats,dogs and other animals as they could from the islands.Next,they tried to make sure that more baby tortoises would be born; This slow,hard work continues today,and,thanks to it,the number of tortoises is now increasing every year.Perhaps these wonderful animals will not disappear after all

13.New research finds a link between poverty and poor decision making.The findings may explain why poor people sometimes make bad choices that continue their hardship.
Earlier studies have found the poor less likely to escape poverty.But there has been little research on why the poor make decisions that make their lives harder.Until recently,it was economists who studied poverty,not psychologists.Eldar Shafir,a psychologist in Princeton University says now scientists from both fields work together.Mr.Shafir and his team did two experiments.One took place at a shopping center in New Jersey.Another was carried out among sugar cane farmers in rural India.
The New Jersey experiment involved individuals with low paying jobs and others belonged to the middle class.All the volunteers were asked what they would do if their cars needed repairs.
The volunteers were given two imaginary situations.In the first,the car repairs cost﹩150.In the second,﹩1,500.
"And what we found is that the poor and the rich performed equally well on almost all the tests."
Not so when the researchers raised the repair costs to﹩1,500.
"Now the poor performed significantly worse."The poorer lost about 13IQ points on average.This is about the loss experienced when a person has not slept for one night.
The scientists then wondered if the same person reacted differently when he was rich and when he was poor.The Indian sugar cane farmers earn most of their money once a year,when the harvest comes in.But the money often does not last through the year.
"So they find themselves basically rich after the harvest when the income comes in and poor just before the harvest.
The researchers gave them tests similar to the ones taken by the people in New Jersey.They tested the Indian farmers before the harvest and after.
And the results were much the same as with the mall shoppers.
"They performed much more slowly and with many more mistakes when they were poorer than when they were richer."
Mr.Shafir says the results support 50years of research that shows all humans have limited mental power to deal with things in life.
"And so the insight here is that,having not enough of something in a way makes it harder to make good decisions for everything else."

61.What is true about earlier studies?B
A.They were done by economists and psychologists.
B.They found it hard for poor people to become rich.
C.They explained why poor people made poor decisions.
D.They showed the poor people cared less about their health.
62.In the first experiment,the poor performed worse becauseC
A.they had not slept for one night
B.it was just an imaginary situation
C.the increased price affected their decision
D.they didn't take the second situation seriously
63.The Indian sugar cane farmersD
A.a(chǎn)re smarter when they are poor
B.earn money all through the year
C.earn lots of money so they think they are rich
D.feel rich after the harvest and poor before harvest
64.What do the two experiments have in common?A
A.They got similar findings.
B.They were carried out in the rural areas.
C.They were carried out by economists only.
D.They chose two groups of people with different income.
65.What could be the best title for the passage?C
A.Once poor,always poor?
B.Why are poor people poorer?
C.Poverty weakens brain power.
D.Different experiments,different findings.

10.Let us suppose it is now about A.D.2060.Let's make believe it is about sixty years from now.Of course,things have changed and life is very different.
Voyages to the moon are being made every day.It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe.At a number of scenic spots on the moon,many hotels have been built,the hotels are air--conditioned,naturally.So that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon.Every room has at least one picture window.Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of young and old.
What are people eating now?People are still eating food.They haven't yet started to take on their supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power.They may be some day.But many foods now come in pill form,and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.
Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago,most of our planet's surface has to be filled.The deserts are irrigated with water.Crops are no longer destroyed by pests.The harvest is always good.
Farming,of course,is very highly developed.Very few people have to work on the farm.It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.
People are now largely vegetarians.You see,as the number of people increased,the number of animals decreased.Therefore,the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier in both our bodies and our minds,too,and we know the causes and cure of diseases and pain,and it is possible to get rid of disease.No one has to be ill any more.
Such would be our life in 2060.
66.What are the hotels on the moon used for in 2060?D
A.Scientific experiments.
B.People who have no houses.
C.Astronauts.
D.Holiday people.

A.In the story,the population of the world has increased.
B.Voyages to the moon are being made every day.
C.A great number of people work on the farm.

A.Because most people like vegetables better.
B.Because the number of people increased and the number of animals decreased.
C.Because people think meat is unhealthy.
D.Because there are no animals at all.
69.According to the passage,what about the people's health in 2060?B
A.Because the people have to be vegetarians,they are very thin.
B.The people have no illness.
C.The doctor don't know how to treat the diseases and pain.
D.The people are less healthier in our bodies than in our minds.
