A man accused of failing to return more than 700 children’s books to five different libraries in the county was released(釋放) from prison after a book publisher agreed to post his bond(保釋金)of $1,000．The publisher said．“There’s a story here．This is a man who loves books．He just can’t let go of them．He hasn’t stolen a single book．So what’s the crime ? We think that Mr Banish has story to tell．We plan to publish his story．”
When asked why he didn’t return the books. Mr Banish said，”Well，how could I ?

He continued，“Books are people，too! They talk to you，they take care of you，and they enrich you with wisdom，humor and love．A book is a guest in my home．How could I kick it out? I repaired torn pages．I dusted them with a soft clean cloth．I turned their pages so they could breathe and get some fresh air．”
“Every week I recognized them on their shelves so they could meet new friends，My books were HAPPY books．You could tell just by looking at them．Now they’re all back in the libraries，on the lower shelves，on the floors，at the mercy of all those runny-nosed kids I can hear them calling me．I need to rescue them．Excuse me．I have to go now．”

Special trees that grow faster, fight pollution, produce better wood, and even sense chemical attacks are being planted by scientists in the US.
When 40 percent of Hawaii's US$14 million-a-year papaya (木瓜)industry was destroyed by a virus five years ago, work began on creating genetically engineered (轉(zhuǎn)基因的) trees.
Researchers successfully introduced seeds that were designed to resist the virus. Since then, more and more people have been testing genetically engineered trees.
Some researchers put special bacteria into trees to help them grow faster and produce better wood. Others are trying to create trees that can clean polluted soil.
Meanwhile fruit farmers are looking for trees that are strong enough to resist worms, and paper companies want trees that produce more wood and therefore more paper.
The Pentagon (五角大樓) even gave the researchers US$500,000 this year after they developed a pine tree that changes its colours if it senses a chemical attack.
So far, the poplar, eucalyptus (楊樹與桉樹), apple and coffee trees are among those being engineered. All this can be done today because we have a better understanding of tree genomes (基因組).
However, some people fear that the genetically engineered trees will cause dangerous results. They are worried that the new trees will breed (繁殖)with natural species and change the balance of the forest environment.
"It could be destructive," said Jim Diamond, an environmentalist. '"Trees are what is left of our natural environment and home to many endangered species."
But researchers insist that science could give nature a fighting chance against both natural and man-made dangers.
They hope to answer the critics （批評(píng)家）by stopping the new trees from breeding, so their effect on the environment can be controlled.
60. Which kind of tree is not the ones that scientists are planting in the US?
A. Trees that worms can't hurt.
B. Trees that can sense a chemical attack.
C. Trees that can resist wind better.
D. Genetically engineered trees.
61. What caused the American scientists to work on special trees directly?
A. They think science could give nature a fighting chance against both natural and man-made dangers.
B. Great numbers of trees have been lost due to attacks by viruses.
C. Researchers successfully introduced seeds designed to resist the virus.
D. Tree genomes are mapped out so scientists know how to improve trees.
62. Which of the following was probably the first kind of trees being engineered?
A. Papaya. B. Pine. C. Apple. D. Poplar.
63. Why did critics think engineered trees dangerous? Because _________.
A. these trees can destroy the balance of nature
B. everything except trees has been genetically engineered
C. trees are home to many endangered species
D. these trees may affect normal trees
C
People who spend more pre-bedtime(睡前)hours using the Internet or watching television are more likely to report that they don`t get enough sleep, even though they sleep almost as long as people who spend fewer pre-bedtime hours in front of a computer or televison screen, survey findings show.
“The longer media use before sleep can trigger self-perceived(自我感覺的)insufficient(不足的)sleep,” lead researcher Dr Nakamori Suganuma of Osaka University said.
He and colleagues obtained data on self-perceived sleep problems and the use of electronic media before bedtime from a total of 5875 Japanese respondents in two separate Internet-based surveys.
Nearly half of the respondents linked their lack of sleep with electronic media use before bedtime. Those reporting longer electronic media use were also more likely to report insufficient sleep.
Overall,29 percent of light users (less than 1.5 hours)listed electronic media use as a possible cause of their insufficient sleep. By comparison, 40 percent of medium （中級(jí)的）users(1.5 to 3 hours) and 54 percent of heavy users (more than 3 hours) said the same.
However, longer Internet and television use before bedtime was not linked with less actual sleep. While heavy users averaged about 3 more hours in front of computer or television screens than light users, the heavy users averaged only about 12 minutes less pre-workday sleep than light users.Suganuma said, “Internet use affected self-perceived insufficient sleep more than TV watching in both younger Internet users and middle-aged or aged users.”
Up to 38 percent of the respondents listed accessing the Internet far into the night as a possible cause for their sleep disturbance ,while about 25 percent said watching television far into the night caused their sleep problems.The findings suggest that while heavy computer and television use before bedtime has a small effect on sleep duration, it may have a more significant effect on “sleep demand and sleep quality.” Suganuma notes.
64. The underlined word “trigger” in Paragraph 2 means “________”.
A.remove B.cause C.increase D.decrease
65. From the passage, we learn________.
A. what kind of people have less actual sleep
B. self-perceived insufficient sleep is linked to electronic media use
C. Why the use of electronic media before bedtime affects sleep
D. Using electronic media before bedtime makes people sleepless
66. Which of the following is NOT a result of the survey?
A. People who use electronic media longer before bedtime are more likely to report
insufficient sleep.
B. About 38 percent of the respondents think accessing the Internet far into the night is a cause for sleep disturbances.
C. Internet use affects self-perceived insufficient sleep more than watching TV.
D. Most self-perceived insufficient sleep is connected with electronic media use before bedtime.
D
Experts say the American state of Hawaii has been affected by a small frog called the coqui(科基蛙) .There may be millions of the small frogs in Hawaii.However, they do not belong there. They are normally found in the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico and in the southeastern United States.These coqui frogs are harming Hawaii`s environment, and the extremely loud noise they make is causing problems for Hawaiian citizens and visitors. The coquis arrived in Hawaii about ten years ago. They are believed to have been brought in accidentally in shipments of plants from Puerto Rico or Florida. Their numbers have sharply increased. They have quickly spread around the Hawaiian Islands and all hidden in plants.
The coqui is a brown frog about five centimeters long. During the day, the frogs hide in wet protected areas, such as under plant leaves. At night , the frogs move onto trees to feed, call to females and mate(交配).
In their native Puerto Rico, local people celebrate coqui frogs. But in Hawaii, the foreign frog is thought as a harmful animal.The coqui frogs are a major threat to Hawaii`s environmental system. The frogs eat thousands of insects every night .These insects are important to plants ,and are also important food for Hawaii`s native.
The frogs are also affecting the tourism industry in Hawaii. Increasing numbers of hotels, visitors and local people are disturbed by the loud calls made by male coqui frogs to female frogs.At night ,the noise often makes it difficult for people to sleep. The mating call of the male coqui sounds like: “ Ko-Kee! Ko-Kee!” That is how they got their name.
The frogs do not have any natural enemies in Hawaii to reduce their population size. The warm weather permits them to lay eggs all year long.
Many efforts have been made in Hawaii to stop the spread of the coqui. The Hawaiian Department of Agriculture is trying to find an effective chemical that can be safely used to kill the frogs. Until then, the only way to catch the frogs is by hand.
67.Coqui frogs get their name from________.
A. the sound of their loud calls
B. their shape and colour
C. their coming from other parts of the USA
D. people who dislike them
68.Which of the following is NOT a reason why people in Hawaii dislike coquis?
A. They are harming Hawaii`s environment.
B. They have a bad effect on tourism.
C. They eat insects which are important for plants.
D. They hide in wet places and make loud sounds during the day.
69.Which of the following contributes to the increasing number of coquis in Hawaii?
A. There aren`t any animals in the world which eat coquis.
B. They are easy to catch.
C. They are easy to breed （繁殖）there.
D. They eat a lot of insects in one night.
70.What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Coquis―Good or Harmful Animals?
B. Coquis―A Big Threat to Hawaii
C. Coquis Make Sleep Difficult
D. Coquis―the Number Sharply Increased
