Odd, funand cutestory.Great read
This was a cute, lighthearted book that explores the life of a Craigslist addict, and how
Craigslist, a large free classifieds (分类广告) website, got her through her life so far.The story was
well thought out and pretty realistic when it comes to life struggles. It gets a little unbelievable
towards the end, and I don’t like it when authors conform to the ‘the world is perfect’ viewpoint
mostbooks have, but,that’s justmypessimistbreaking through.

Eight years ago. Al Nixon decided to begin each day from a bench with a spectacular view of
St. Petersburg's waterfront in Florida. “I call it ‘life rising’ because watching a sunrise makes me
feel positive and centered before I start my day,”says Nixon, who works for the city's water
department. It isNixon's own version ofdaily motivation.
Ayear later,a woman stopped to say hello, and she said something that changed his perspective
on his daily ritual. “She said, ‘You know, every morning when I see you sitting here. I know that
everything is going to be OK.’”Nixon recalls. “That was when I knew: I needed to pay attention to
the people walking past. I needed to make eye contact and let people know that we matter to each
other.”
Instead of staring straight ahead at the waterfront. Nixon started smiling at people and striking
up conversations. And pretty soon, more than a few early risers began joining him on the bench，
sometimes unburdening themselves and telling him their relationship, career or personal problems.
“I was happy to listen. I wanted them to walk away knowing they didn't have to feel lonely,” Nixon,
now 59, says. “When you're in your 50 and 60s or beyond, a lot of people feel their purpose hasn't
been fulfilled.At thisstage in life,this isdefinitely my purpose.”
So, every morning, weather permitting, Nixon rises at 4:30 a.m. He puts on a hat, sips a cup of
coffee, and then drives seven miles to the waterfront, where he'll stay for two hours. His presence,
his openness to listen and his kindness towards strangers have led them to nickname him the
SunshineMayor.
No matter what problem a person wants to air. Nixon lends an ear. But some people just sit
down and don't want to talk or share stories. They simply want to sit next to someone and share the
silence. “A woman stopped once and said. ‘I just want to sit here with you.’ ”Nixon recalls. “We
stared at the water for an hour. and then she said thank you and walked away. She just wanted a
moment of peace and to know she wasn't alone.And in that moment. in that hour, on that morning,
shetruly wasn't.”

The success of many North American crops partly depends on ground beetles(甲虫), small
insects that eat pests and weed seeds that could otherwise damage crops. But a new study by
researchers in the U.S. and Canada suggests not all of the nearly 2,000 species of ground beetles
found in North America will survive climate change. Some could decline. And that could have a
far-reaching impact onagriculture, forestry,and conservation.
By analyzing data on 136 different ground beetle species across continental North America,
Puerto Rico and Hawaii, the researchers found that a species’ chance of success in a changing
climate depends on several important factors, such as its habitat preference, body size, and whether
itflies, climbs orruns.
“We found that less mobile, nonflying ground beetles, which are critical pest control agents,
are more likely to decline over time in a warmer, dryer climate,”said Tong Qiu, who led the study.
“Thatmeans you’re going to havemore pests that can impact agricultural and forest ecosystems.”
But there is reason for hope, Qiu added, because the analysis also showed that habitat conservation
canlessen these effects and reverse thetrends in someareas.
“Wehope conservation biologists will use this information and the online map that we created
to better manage habitats for insects in general. Ground beetles are very beneficial to ecosystems,
butthey’re largely invisibletotheaverage person. In thispaper we’re showing thebroad impacts
they haveonwhole communities in forested and agricultural ecosystems,”said Qiu.
The researchers used ground beetle count data from the National Science Foundation’s
National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) and from 11 previously published studies to
measure and map the beetles’ distribution across North America. Habitat information, such as the
location of gaps in forest canopies and the density of plants on a forest floor, was obtained by using
NEON’s imaging instruments to create detailed three-dimensional images of landscapes. They then
entered the data collected into a computer model to simulate (模拟) climate changes to study how
theinsects would respond.
28.What does the newstudyin NorthAmerica show?
A. Pestscould destroy crops.
B. Someground beetles willnot survivea climatechange.
C.The survival ofgroundbeetles only depends onitshabitat.
D. Someground beetles will destroy crops in awarmer climate.
29.What doesTong Qiu intend toconvey in paragraphs 3and 4?
A.There is noway to stop thedecline ofgroundbeetles.

From cowboy hats and cattle to barbecue and football, Texas is known for many things. One
thingtheLone StarStateis notknown for,however,iswinter weather.
That changed in February last year, when winter storm buried Texas in ice and snow. It raged
for a total of eight days, 23 hours, and 23 minutes, which was one of the most impactful winter
events in recent history.
According to Texas TV station, winter storm Landon was so extreme that it caused trees across
north Texas to "explode", filling local communities with booms that sounded more like gunshots
thantreebranches.
The phenomenon of "exploding trees" isn't as unusual or as terrifying as it sounds, according to
Janet, who says trees often freeze and burst as a result of rapid temperature shifts. "Our wide
temperature swings mean that trees may not be completely dormant (休眠的) or prepared for the
cold," Janet said. "Trees have several mechanisms they use to prevent freezing. They takes cues to
get adapted andready for thefreeze.
In trees that aren't completely inactive, cold weather causes tree sap(汁液) to freeze. When that
happens, the sap expands beyond what the tree's bark can contain. And so,the tree splits in places
that can't cope with the pressure, creating cracks known as "frost cracks". Although trees do not
actually explode into pieces when frost cracks happen, there may be loud noises and visible
fractures (折断)，and heavy branches can fall to theground.
"Trees explode in cold weather because the water content in the cells and tissues freezes,"
MacKenzie said. "From mid winter to early spring this can occur when the temperature swings,
snow melts and warm sun, cold nights work in harmony. It is usually nothing to be too concerned
about; the tree will start to heal just as quickly. I have been awakened many cold winter nights
hearing thetrees explode."
32.Whatdoes theunderlined word "That" referto?
A.Texas isrelated toAmerican football. B.Texasis littleknown for itswinter weather.
C.Texasis asuitableplace for raising cattle. D.Texas has afamous history ofcowboys.
33.Whatdoes Janet think causes the trees to explode?
A.Theoccurrence ofthewinter storm. B.The fragile tree branches in winter.
C.Thesudden change oftemperatures. D.Thetrees' preparation for thecold.
34.Whatdoes thefifth paragraph mainlytalk about?
A.Theeffect ofcold weather onplants. B.Ways to help trees prevent freezing.
C.Theroleof sap inwinter. D.Thereason why trees explode.
35.Whatdoes MacKenzieimply inhis words?
A.Treeexplosion is anatural phenomenon.
B.Melting snowcan lead totree explosion.
C.Trees mayexplodeevenin warm nights.
D.Peopleshould becareful about exploding trees.
