Starving polar bears are eating one another in the Arctic. Flowers are blooming too soon and die. The ice caps are melting so fast that rising water levels will threaten coastal towns along Florida within several decades. These are just a few examples of the terrible consequences of climate change supported by a new analysis in Nature.

In the past three decades, average global temperatures have risen about 0. 6°C and are projected to jump by about 1. 7°C by the end of the century, says Cynthia Rosenzweig, who leads the Climate Impacts Group at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies at Columbia University in New York. “We’ve already seen that a relatively low amount of warming,” she says, “can lead to a broad range of changes. ”

The unnatural warming caused by man-made greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide produced by cars and coal-powered plants, brings trouble for entire ecosystems. In North America alone, scientists have identified 89 species of plants, such as the American holly that have flowered earlier in the spring. In Spain, apple trees bloom 35 days ahead of schedule in response to the higher temperatures. Other wildlife, like the insects that use certain plants for food and the birds that feed on the insects, must then move forward their seasonal stirrings(萌动) and mating（交配） patterns to survive.

To try to follow this time shift, some birds such as robins, the classic symbol of winter’s thaw(解冻时期), are returning to Colorado from their migrations some two weeks earlier than in years past. All these changes can throw a food chain in disorder. Some bird species that arrive before the insects reappear may starve to death.

“Around the world, plants and animals are waking up to an earlier alarm clock than they used to,” says Terry Root, a biologist from Stanford University.

1.The underlined word “projected”(in Paragraph 2) probably means “____”.

2.According to the third paragraph, as a result of climate change ____ .

3.What can we know about robins according to the passage?

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A sun-starved Norwegian town has finally seen the light—by installing giant mirrors on the surrounding mountains to reflect rays onto its market square.

The small town of Rjukan sits deep in the narrow Vestfjord Valley，in the Telemark region south-west of Oslo. The towering peaks that surround it rise to almost 2,000 meters above sea level and block out the sunlight for half the year, meaning Rjukan residents live in a permanent shadow from September to March.

But all that changed this week, with the official launch of a project first proposed a century ago. Three high-tech mirrors，with a combined reflective surface of 50 square meters, have been put into operation on a ridge(山脊) on Gaustatoppen mountain，brightening up the previously gloomy town center by flooding it with up to 600 square meters of sunlight.

Twenty-first century technology has made the $850, 000 project possible, with heliostats—computer-powered mirrors—shifting every 10 seconds to track the movements of the sun during the day.

But the idea to lighten up the dark town actually dates back 100 years. Rjukan was originally founded as a company town for Norsk Hydro, which set up a fertilizer plant here to make use of the hydro power from the nearby 104 meter Rjukanfossen waterfall. The story goes that the aluminum(铝) and renewable energy company’s founder，Sam Eyde，wanted a way to brighten up the existence of his shadowed 1aborers--and also to make them work more effectively during the winter.

The local newspaper published a suggestion by local bookkeeper Oskar Kittelsen to use a mirror to reflect sunlight onto the town，and Eyde picked up on the idea. Technological limitations of the day meant the plan never came to fruition，however, and instead northern Europe’s first cable car was built in 1928 to give Rjukan residents sunlight exposure at the top of the mountain.

1.Rjukan residents used to 1ive in a permanent shadow from September to March 　　　　 .

A. because it sits near the Arctic Circle(北极圈)

B. because it is located in a deep valley

C. because the sunlight was stopped by peaks

D. because it 1ies to the southwest of Oslo

2. The underlined word“flooding”in the third paragraph means 　　　　 .

A. covering　　　　 B. counting

C. widening　　 　　 D. viewing

3.Norsk Hydro set up Rjukan because 　　　　 .

A. there were quantities of cheaper labors

B. there existed large amounts of hydro power

C. it was very convenient to use water

D. there was rich aluminum and water resources

Most of the women I know, including myself, are starved for time. I sometimes try to do　 the chores all without asking (or paying) for assistance. I grew up in a household where my parents took care of all the chores including the housekeeping, lawn maintenance (草坪养护), etc. Looking back, I’m sure they had to make sacrifices to do things for my sister and me. But I think we all can agree on time savers as a positive, welcome contribution.

I made a decision about 5 years ago that I would hire a lawn maintenance service, so that Ted didn’t have to spend his time while home on the weekends taking care of our yard. I didn’t think twice about it and still feel it is money well spent. His travel schedule is very busy and by paying for this service, I get to spend more quality time with my significant other!

When it came to doing something similar for myself, I struggled. I kept telling myself that others are able to keep up with much more than my demands & schedule. I cast the idea back and forth of hiring a housekeeper for over three years, before I decided to take the step.

True to my nature I researched my options online, asked some coworkers and friends for recommendations and made a decision to take a meeting with a nationally known chain. I met with one of their sale representative in my house and decided to move forward. She said that she wasn’t there to push the cleaning services. Instead, she was there to tell me how much time I’d save by purchasing her service.

I decided to keep a spring cleaning and then once a month after that. Ultimately I only ended up keeping up this particular service for about 4 months due to some quality concerns, but I would definitely do it again and am in the market for a new housekeeping service. I loved having some time for me and no longer feel guilty for paying.

B.The author’s husband was not willing to do the housework.

1.　 When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when a manager gets a new sports car, visions of country clubs dance into view.

The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. 　 2. .

The first and most basic level of wants is food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears: clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. 　 3.It included such items as cars and new houses.

By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the “life-enriching” level. While the other levels mean physical satisfaction－the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human body－this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury” items(奢侈品). Among them are vacation trips, the best medical care, and entertainment.　 4. 　　

On this level, a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?

A fifth level probably would be wants that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime and prejudice. 　 5.　 In this way, we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.

A．Then a third level appeared.

B．Human wants seem endless.

C．When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears.

D．There are several levels of wants in one’s life.

E．At this stage, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure.

F．Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.

G．Different people have different wants on each level
