new study provides evidence that the area had a rainforest in the past.The researchers collected a piece of Earth sediment from under the seafloor off the coast ofAntarctica.In the sediment,they discovered forest material that was estimated to be about 90 million years old.At that period,dinosaurs were the ruler animals of the land.Johann Klages,a German geologist,was the lead writer of a study on the findings,published in the journalNature.He said the sediment was collected from a depth of about 30 meters below the ocean floor.Klages said an examination showed that the material didnt form in the ocean.The researchers estimate that the area about 900 kilometers from the South Pole had average yearly temperatures of about12Cto13C.The soil included fine dirt particles and hard clay,as well as substances linked to at least 65 different kinds of plants,the study found.Although no animal remains were found,Klages said there were likely dinosaurs,flying reptiles and many insects in the environment.The research represents new evidence of the major climate changes Earth experienced in the past and is currently undergoing today.The soil in the sediment dates back to the planets warmest period of the past 140 million years,with sea level about 170 meters higher than today.The researchers said that the rainforest environment inAntarcticawas especially surprising because each year,the area experiences a four-month polar night when there is no sunlight to fuel plant life.Klages said no ice sheets were present during the time,but seasonal snowfall was likely.8.What can we learn about the sediment collected?A.It formed in the age of dinosaurs.B.It was found on theAntarcticaland.C.Ancient forest material was found in it.D.Some dinosaur remains were

inAntarcticaare getting shorter than before.11.What is the main idea of the text?A.Rainforest disappeared fromAntarctica.B.Antarctica had a different history of climate.C.Researchers studied a piece of Earth sediment ofAntarctica.D.Antarcticahad an extreme environment containing ice and snow.D A year ago I received a full scholarship to attend the University of San Francisco.All of my hard work paid off.My mom had spent a lot on my attending a private high school,so I made sure to push myself:I volunteered,took part in various clubs,and graduated with honors.I was so excited to start a new part of my life.Soon enough,the big day came,but it wasnt like what I had thought.The first two weeks were the most difficult days of my entire life.Every night I would cry myself to sleep.I was missing my family,my home and everything in my hometown so much and I didnt know how to deal with my broken heart.To distract myself,I threw myself into my studies.I also found a ton of jobs.In any free time,I started forcing myself to go to the gym.I wanted to keep every part of my day busy so I wouldnt think about how lonely I felt.Soon after,I began to control my eating,considering it another solution to my homesickness.But soon there was something wrong with me.Finally,I went to see a doctor.When the doctor told me I had no choice but to take time away from school,I started to fear.How could I stop?School was what I was best at.“Im not so bad,”I thought in my head.But the result was that I was taken to hospital again a month later and my mother camewoefully.I had to take a semester off from school,and go to the treatment center near my home.If there are girls who are suffering similarly,I hope you know that there is hope and that you should have a positive attitude towards life.Though you may feel alone,there are so many people who can understand your struggle.Thats why I want to share my story.12.Why did the author push herself during high school?A.She wanted to attend
