officials and asked for help.“Kill the hawks,”theofficials said,“Wewill even pay for them,”so the farmers began to think of ways to kill the hawks.The farmers killed many hawks.They no longer had to worry about their chickens.But they now had a newworry.Field mice were eating up a lot of the farmersgrain.How did this happen?Hawks eat not only chickens butalso field mice.They eat more field mice than chickens.But the farmers didnt know this.When they killed a lot ofhawks,they changed the balance.When people move into a new place,they often destroy many wild plants.Oftenthese plants are food for the animals.If the animals cant find enough plants to eat,they will starve or have toleave the place.In one part of the USA,for example the deer there like to eat a certain kind of wild roses.The mountain lionsthere eat the deer.The number of deer,mountain lions and wild roses doesnt change much if people leave things asthey are.But people killed many mountain lions in order to protect the deer.Soon there were so many deerthat they ate up all the wild roses.Then the deer began to eat the green leaves of young trees.These trees wereimportant to the farmers.So the farmers thought of ways to protect their trees.Now the deer had nothing to eat,andmany of them died.This was another lesson from nature.Tokeep the balance of nature is important for us to remember.1What the famers worried is

loneliness,a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the majorone.This phenomenoniscommonlyknownas“EmptyNestSyndrome”(空 巢 综 合 症)._27_,many young people have gone abroad,leaving their parents behind with no clear idea ofwhen they will return home.Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights,taking care of themselves,28.The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes itunlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries._29_This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children fromproviding response in time for their aged parents living by themselves.The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as“distantparent phenomenon”,which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries._30_.4A inthe hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them.B Whatever the case,it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do.C loneliness is another problem that aged parents may faceD In

school students,the printed dictionary or the e-dictionary,different people have different opinions.Some like to use the printed dictionary,while others preferthe e-dictionary.As for me,I will choose the e-dictionary.The reasons for this can be listed asfollows:First,the e-dictionary is handy and cool to use as well as time-saving,while the printeddictionary is thick and heavy and not so convenient to carry.Second,although an e-dictionaryprovides less information than a printed dictionary whose entries are comparatively complete anddetailed,we cannot forget that entries of the e-dictionary are addable,which I think,are enough forschool students study.Besides,an e-dictionary has many other practical functions.It is also acalculator,a calendar,and a time keeper.Last but not least,an e-dictionary even teach the learnerhow to pronounce a word.Therefore,based on the above discussion,it is not difficult to conclude why I choose ane-dictionary.7
