"No one in this village even knows that this is an incense treeexcept me," says the 54-year old Chan. "I love these trees because I grew up with them." He wants to ensure his two young sons do as well. Officially known as Aquilaria sinensis (土沉香), "agar-wood" was once a common commodity, but is now rare because of illegal logging. Chan has been trying to change that. Over the past four years, he has planted 10,000 new trees on Hong Kong's only incense plantation, part of a family business passed on to him from his father and grandfather. All told, the plantation has some 300,000 incense trees. While incense tree conservation is one of Chan's motivations, a lucrative livelihood is another. Chan explains he can sell a young tree for as much as $600. The 10,000 trees he planted could mean millions if he were to sell. But if left to mature at least 10 years, the trees can be an even bigger moneymaker once harvestedsupplying incense powder, fragrant wood used in herbal teas as well as traditional Chinese medicines. The wood itself can command a large sum. Chan says one arms-length carving can command $125,000. He adds his buyers usually come from Taiwan and mainland China after they learn of his business through word of mouth or through his website. But because of its high price and limited supply, the incense tree has also become a victim of its own value. "Hong" means fragrant in the local Cantonese language. "Kong" means harbor. In the meantime, Chan hopes people will not forget the city's heritage as he nurtures the city's last incense plantation to save the "Hong" of Hong Kong. "I hope my incense trees can grow bigger and be everywhere. Even though Hong Kong is urbanizing I think more trees can and should be planted."24. According to the passage, old Chan is  .

Available C. Accessible D. Profitable27. What kind of person does Chan belong to?A. Explorers. B. Environmentalists. C. Educators. D. Engineers.

Doubleday then went on to become a Civil War hero, while baseball became America's beloved national pastime. Not only is that story untrue, it's not even in the ballpark (place for baseball). Doubleday was still at West Point in 1839, and he never claimed to have anything to do with baseball. In 1907, a special commission(委员会) created by the sporting goods merchant and former major league player A. J. Spalding used weak evidencenamely the claims of one man, mining engineer Abner Gravesto come up with the Doubleday origin story. Cooperstown businessmen and major league officials would rely on the myth's lasting power in the 1930s, when they established the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in the village. As it turns out, the real history of baseball is a little more complicated than the Doubleday legend. References to games resembling(相似) baseball in the United States date back to the 18th century. Its most direct ancestors appear to be two English games: rounder (a children's game brought to New England by the earliest colonists) and cricket. By the time of the American Revolution, variations(演变) of such games were being played on schoolyards and college campuses across the country. They became even more popular in newly industrialized cities where men sought work in the mid-19th century. In September 1845, a group of New York City men founded the New York Knickerbocker Baseball Club. One of them would make a new set of rules that would form the basis for modern baseball. Cartwright's changes made the game faster-paced and more challenging from older games like cricket. In 1846, the Knickerbockers played the first official game of baseball against a team of cricket players, beginning a new, uniquely American tradition. 32. What can we know according to the first paragraph?A. Doubleday stayed at West Point for some reason.B. Doubleday said he had much to do with baseball. C. Baseball was really invented by Abner Doubleday.D. Abner Doubleday fought against slaves in the Civil War.33. Why did the Doubleday origin story come up?A. Because a special commission was founded.B.

The real history of baseball is  .A. much simpler than the Doubleday legendB. more interesting than rounder and cricket C. that baseball comes from two English gamesD. that a children's game came from New England35. It can be inferred from the passage that  .A. Doubleday in fact came from BritainB. Doubleday invented rounder and cricketC. Doubleday is the most respected in the USAD.

At the end of the week each group was kept awake for 40 hours and donated blood samples, which were studied to examine the effects of their sleep states. 38  Although a week's normal sleep was enough to restore the affected genes to their normal pattern, researchers said that long periods of sleeplessness could lead to serious health problems including heart disease. 39   Prof Colin Smith, one of the authors of the new paper, which was published in the Proceed
