Hi guys! I’m Lucy the ladybird and while I’m ...

Hi guys! I’m Lucy the ladybird and while I’m very much of a lady, I’m not actually a bird but a glowing red bettle(甲虫)with decorative black spots.

I’m a friendly little bug, to be honest, and simply like to be close with my pals as long as they handle me very gently. I don’t bite humans but I do sink my teeth into aphids (蚜虫) which, unlike me, are very harmful to all the plants. I milk the aphids just like people do with cows and I milk them dry of all the sap (汁) they have got from your poor plants. I’m a real gardeners’ friend and love helping out around the place by pollinating (授粉) flowers, tidying up plants’ fallen leaves and helping to turn them into nice rich fertilizer to feed everything both above and below the soil, and naturally, being so attractive to look at, we are perfect living garden decorations.

One thing I can not tolerate is all that poisonous pollution from vehicles, garbage burning and other environmentally unfriendly acts that occur in the cities every single minute of the day and night. Pollution of any kind really chokes me to death, so these days, I only live in clean countryside areas, particularly cool ones where it rains and everything grows fresh and green from spring right through to autumn. In winter, when the weather is too cold for me to bear, then I find a nice place to sleep until the snow has gone and I can come back out to play.

Oh! I almost forgot to tell you that although I am not a bird I do have wings and can fly for short distances. So if you pick me up and let me run up and down your hands and arms, then please don’t frighten me by screaming if I suddenly decide to take off!

1.What makes Lucy the Ladybird suffer most?

A. Heavy rains.                   B. Cold weather.

C. Air pollution.                 D. Aphids.

2. Which aspects about the ladybird are talked about in the passage?

c. its habitat                  d. its food

e. the origin of its name

A. a; c      B. a; b; c       C. a; b; d; e       D. a; b; c; d

3.What do we know about the ladybird?

A. It belongs to the insect family.

B. It does harm to all growing plants.

C. It lives on the liquid of plants.

D. It can fly a long distance.

4. This passage is probably _______.

Humans are much worse at estimating risk than we think we are. While we overestimate the risk of rare but disastrous occurrences, such as being attacked by a shark, many of us seriously underestimate the risk of behaviors that reduce our lifespan (寿命), such as smoking.

In fact, there are two types of risks — acute and chronic. Acute risks are those that may kill you immediately, such as a car accident.

Chronic risks don’t kill you immediately but rob you of your life a little at a time. If you choose to eat an unhealthy diet, for instance, you may appear to be getting away with this, but you risk developing illnesses in future that may shorten your life.

The problem is we value things much less when they occur in the future. Distant events are abstract — we don’t know how and when they might affect us -~ so we care less about them.

Take smoking for example. It is just about the worst choice you can make for your health. Every two cigarettes that you smoke takes 30 minutes off your lifespan.

In contrast, eating vegetables is clearly very good for you, with each serve increasing your lifespan by two hours. This is a massive health gain and clearly should be a strong motivator for you to eat healthily.

Drinking coffee is also good for you, though with limited health gains. Each cup of coffee (assuming you drink reasonably), is associated with approximately a ten-minute gain in your lifespan.

Even drinking alcohol may add to your lifespan, with each serve adding 30 minutes to the length of your life. But this health gain is only true for the first drink; following drinks shorten lifespan. Alcohol also causes an acute risk when consumed in excess. Too much drinking gives you a 25 in one million chance of sudden death.

We shouldn’t be too nervous about exposure to risks. Life is all about making decisions about risks and rewards, and we all have a different starting point for what we consider acceptable risks to take. Even if we don’t always make the healthiest decisions, at least we can make ones that are fully informed.

1.Which of the following belongs to acute risks?

A. Eating junk food every day.

B. Being hit in a plane crash.

C. Staying up late every night.

D. Being too much overweight.

2.Why do people often ignore chronic risks?

A. They can often get away with them.

B. They can rid themselves of their side effects.

C. They don’t reduce their lifespan.

D. They will not cause immediate death.

3.Which habit will shorten your lifespan?

A. Eating vegetables every day.

B. Smoking only one cigarette a day.

C. Drinking a cup of coffee every day.

D. Drinking alcohol reasonably.

4.What does the underlined phrase “in excess” in the 8th paragraph mean?

A. At random.

B. In need.

C. More than enough.

D. Ahead of time.
