Why do we have deserts today? Deserts have not always been here. Most deserts that we have today were once green lands full of plant life. One of today’s biggest deserts is in North Africa. However, in the 1st century BC farms in North Africa grew corn and wheat to make bread for the whole city of Rome. How did this area become desert?

Both weather and people can help form a desert. Hot weather or very little rain makes the land so dry that nothing can grow. While in some regions, the increase in desert areas is occurring largely as a result of a trend toward drier climatic conditions.

Continued gradual global warming has produced an increase in aridity (干旱) for some areas over the past few thousand years. The process may be sped up in the following decades if global warming resulting from air pollution seriously increases.

The primary reason for desert formation is human activities, though. If people cut down or burn trees and plants to make land clear for farming, the wind can blow the soil away and turn the dry land into sand. Another big problem is farming on land that is not very good. This poor land can very quickly turn into desert, if it is farmed too much. One of the biggest causes, however, is when people take their animals to the same fields to feed over and over, and the fields finally lose all their nutrition. Because of these problems, deserts are slowly taking over green land in many parts of the world, including China.

However, we can fight the growing deserts! In some parts of China people are working to prevent desert from expanding. In Xinjiang, for example, some farmers are trying new scientific farming methods. These methods make it possible to use less land for crops, so farmers then can plant trees on the rest of their land!

One Xinjiang farmer used only HALF of his fields to grow the SAME amount of crops as last year. On the other half of his land, he planted fruit trees. The work of people like this is helping to fight the world’s growing deserts.

SWEET LOVE

Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be an addiction. 1.. Then the good feeling goes away, leaving us wanting more. All tasty foods do this, but sugar has a particularly strong effect. In this way, it is in fact an addictive drug, one that doctors recommend we all cut down on.

“It seems like every time I study an illness and trace a path to the first cause, I find my way back to sugar,” says scientist Richard Johnson. 2.. Why? “Sugar, we believe, is one of the reasons, if not the major reason,” says Johnson.

Our bodies are designed to survive on very little sugar. Early humans often had very little food, so our bodies learned to be very efficient in storing sugar as fat. In this way, we had energy stored for when there was no food. But today, most people have more than enough. 3..

So what is the solution? It’s obvious that we need to eat less sugar. 4.. From breakfast cereals to after-dinner desserts, our foods are increasingly filled with it. Some manufacturers even use sugar to replace taste in foods that are advertised as low in fat. So while the foods appear to be healthier, large amounts of sugar are often added.

5.. Many schools are replacing sugary desserts with healthier options, like fruit. Other schools are trying to encourage exercise by building facilities like walking tracks so students and others in the community can exercise. The battle has not yet been lost.

A.It’s not surprising that a cupcake contains a lot of sugar

B.So the very thing that once saved us may now be killing us

C.The trouble is, in today’s world, that it’s extremely difficult to avoid

D.But some people are fighting back against sugar and trying to create a healthier environment

E.One-third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure, and up to 347 million have diabetes

F.If you have high blood pressure, your heart needs to work harder to pump blood around your body

G.When we eat or drink sugary foods, the sugar enters our blood and affects the parts of our brain that make us feel good

English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world's books and three quarters of international mail are in English.Of all languages，English has the largest vocabulary-perhaps as many as two million words.

However，let's face it:English is a crazy language.There is no egg in an eggplant，neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger.Sweet-meats are candy，while sweetbreads，which aren't sweet，are meat.

We take English for granted.But when we.explore its paradoxes（探讨它的矛盾），we find that quicksand can work slowly，boxing rings are square，public bathrooms have no baths in them.And why is it that a writer writes，but fingers don't finger，grocers don't grocers，and hammers don't ham？If the plural of tooth is teeth，shouldn't the plural of.booth be teeth？One goose，two geese-so one moose，two meese？

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same，while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites？How can overlook and oversee be opposites，while quite a lot and quite a few are alike？

How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next？

English was invented by people，not computers，and it reflects（反映）the creativity of hu-

man beings.That's why，when stars are out，they are visible（能看见的）；but when the lights are out，they are invisible.And why，when I wind up my watch，I start it；but when I wind up this essay，I end it.

You have the ability to decide if you are happy or not. Happiness is a choice. You can't on someone else to make you happy.

You can choose your emotions（情感）. True happiness comes from within; it can't be forced by outside forces. So how do you choose happiness? The same way you choose a new pair of shoes. When you're buying new shoes, you choose a pair that you like and feel good. You wouldn't buy a pair of shoes that you don’t like or that don't fit well, right? You choose it because that's what you want to experience in your life. So why do we keep choosing emotions and feelings that don’t make us feel good?

Choosing to be after you realize your anger has shown up can be beneficial. We choose our feelings; no one can do that for us. If we let others influence our emotions, we are giving them power over us. When others cause us anger or pain, we are giving them our power.

We need to keep in check our feelings and not react immediately to what is thrown at us. We need to think our actions out instead of just reacting to what someone says or does.

Remember that we can always choose happiness. At first it will be difficult to just change your thoughts and feelings from anger, self-doubt, or fear to joy and happiness. But it is only a thought away. Don’t be lost in what happens to you unnecessarily but realize what is causing you to feel that way. Realize that thoughts, feelings and emotions can change. Then move on and choose to be happy.

Chef Wolfgang Puck told Fox News on Tuesday that the nationwide near-shutdown of the restaurant business will not only be a disaster for its workers due to the novel coronavirus (新型冠状病毒), but also will have a bad effect on the nation's economy in the long term.

Puck said that the American restaurant industry gives jobs to 15.6 million people nationwide. He added that in a normal year, the food service industry provides USS I trillion to the U.S. economy.

“How are we going to continue this way with no work for so many people?” Puck said, “It's really a tragedy to have so many people out of work, not getting their money.”

Puck said Congress must act to protect the restaurants and help them get back on their feet when the coronavirus contagion(扩散) declines. “If every restaurant should go to the government, local state or federal individually and say, 'We need money', it would be impossible. We would be waiting for ten years.” He said, “We've seen in the time after Hurricane Katrina how long it took to get money from the federal government to the people in need. We really need it now. We cannot wait a month.”

Puck pointed out that some restaurants survive on takeouts (外卖) and delivery orders, but it is not possible in the long term.

Puck was joined by chef Thomas Keller, who said the federal government is the most effective way to bring relief to the food service industry right away. “The most important thing is that the restaurants survive,” Keller said.

A.It can't be saved by the government.

B.It can survive on takeouts in the long term.

C.To tell us that the country has gone through too many disasters.

D.To compare the different effects of the hurricane and the coronavirus.

3.Who could save the restaurant industry according to Thomas Keller?

A.Insurance companies. B.The federal government.

C.The food delivery industry. D.Restaurant owners and employees.
