Flowers have different shapes, sizes, colors and smells, and pollinators are different in their preferences,Tew notes. The more types of flowering plants in one area, the more favorite food pollinators can find.The researchers looked more closely at city sites. They examined eight types of places within four cities. These included nature reserves, vegetable gardens, flower gardens and other green spaces. The team also looked at parks, sidewalks, parking lots and industrial areas. Flower gardens, (he team found, provide 85 percent of food for pollinators in city areas.“This excellent study shows that small city gardens arc important fbr pollinators/' says Xingwen Loy, who was not in the team.

Either you want to buy too expensive ones, or you look like a homeless personparents want you to dress smartly and seldom understand your style. Some other times it's your behavior that makes your parents unhappy.In Britain today, more and more young people want to be independent and leave home between the age of 16 and 20. Some are students; others run away to avoid their homes which are overcrowded and unhappy. They go in search of work or of a more exciting lite.We asked Phil Tillinghurst, 17 years old, to examine his life, the good and the bad things about being his age.He said, "I don't know whether this is the best time of my life because I still have got the rest of it to go, but until now it's been good. Having said that it's also one of the most difficult times because you already have to take important decisions about what you are going to do, what subjects you want to specialize in, what career. Thafs why this is the time for trying out the different things that you think you may like, so that you can find out what you arc best at for the future. You also have (he chance of being almost an adult but still getting away with being young. Your parents don't treat you like a child, they trust you more. 1 know that parents arc only worried about what's happening to you, but sometimes they really worry too much. I get on OKwith my parents. A lot of people think that boys have more freedom than girls, but in fact I know some girls that have more freedom than I do. I have many friends and their parents are stricter than mine. They have to be back at a certain time and there's no 'but.' about it. I have no major problems, though money is always a problem.

It is a glass bottle, and inside is a rolled-up piece of paper. This message in a bottle may have travelled half way around the world before landing on （his beach.Though it may seem strange, people really write notes, put them in bottles, and throw the boules into the ocean. They do so fbr different reasons. Most often it is simply fbr fun. All the world's oceans arc connected, and tides （潮汐）can carry the bottles in many different directions. There is no telling where a bottle may end up or how far it may drift. For example, a primary school student near Seattle, Washington, let go of a bottle that traveled more than 1,700 miles before being found in Alaska 21 years later. Similarly, a man threw a bottle into the ocean near his New Hampshire hotel. His note told the finder to return the bottle to his wife Tina for a reward. More than 50 years later, the bottle was found washed up on a Caribbean island nearly 2,000 miles away.In 2007, students at a school in Hawaii look part in a science experimenl （实验）called Message in a Bottle. As part of the experiment, about 25 bottles were put into （he ocean to drift. Each bottle contained （包含）a message from a student. Six months later a 13-year-old gin in Papua New Guinea found one. She and the sender became pen friends. Overtime people found other bottles of the students.From time to time someone tries to use a message in a bottle to contact a certain person. In 1914, a British man fighting in World War 1 wrote a letter to his wife. Eighty-fivc years after the man threw his bottle into the sea. a fisherman found it in his fishing net. The fisherman delivered （递送）the letter to the man's daughter, who was an adult by then. She was very excited to receive （he letter and learn more about her father.Throwing a bottle in the ocean is not a very dependable way to deliver a message. But, when a message is found, it is certainly a memorable event.30. What does the underlined word 44driftM in paragraph 2 mean?A. Travel over land.B. Swim under the sea.C. Blow in the wind.D. Move in the water.31. What can wc learn from the article?A. People receive rewards for returning the bodies.B. Bottles on the sea can get where they need to be.C. It is a good way to send messages through bottles.D. They get pleasure from putting bottles into the sea.32. Which is the best title for the article?A. Messages in BottlesB. Travels across OceansC.

Then breathe deeply, and open your brain wide. Now, let*s come to the key part of the experience. In your mind, picture someone walking toward you about half a block away. At first you can't see who it is. As this person gets closer and closer, you suddenly realize, believe it or not, it's you. But it's not you today, it's you as you'd like to be one year from now.

People who are blind can use it to read by touch. In the Braille letters, raised dots （点）spell out words and numbers. High level Braille even uses short symbols for common words, like when someone texts "ttyl" instead of "talk to you later."Recently, researchers have discovered that some people who read Braille by touch use the same part of their brains to read as people who can see do. They studied the brains of blind readers as they touch-read Braille. If brains were organized based on which sense is at work, the researchers explained, the test would mostly find activity in the readers' parietal lobes （顶叶）-an area of the brain connected with touch. Instead, the researchers also found activity in the area connected with sight.How would touch information reach a brain area usually used to see? Researchers believe the process connects to our brains' abilities to change. They explain that in people who are bom blind, the area used for seeing goes unused. However, the brain quickly begins to recruitunused areas for new jobs, including language, hearing, and finally reading and math. It does this by forming new connections among the neurons（神经元）.This can change how information reaches different areas in the brain.This ability of our brains to reorganize after an injury （损伤）or other challenge is called plasticity. The brain is most plastic at birth. Research has shown that people bom bind use the area of the brain connected with sight during Braille reading more than those who lost their sight later on. However, the brain seems co never lose the ability. A recent study showed that sighted people who read Braille skillfully also showed some activity in the area of the brain connected with sight. They only touched the Braille text without seeing i（. It seems that our brains are good at breaking the rules and dealing with information in new ways.26. What can we know about Braille according to Paragraph 1?A. High level Braille uses words more often.B. The blind read Braille by touching the raised dots.C. People use it to text to others through mobile phone.D. It's a difficult reading and listening system for the blind.27. In which part of the brain was the activity found as the blind read Braille?A. The area only connected with touch.B. The area only connected with sight.C. The areas connected with both touch and sight.D. The area connected with neither touch nor sight.28. Which word has the same meaning as the underlined word "recruit" in Paragraph 3?A. We were recruited to help collect donations fbr the charity.B. Our mind will recruit different resources to help us solve problems.C. John was a young recruit in the organization and needed to be trained.D. I wanted to make my mark as the new officer at a recruit training center.29. What can we infer from （he last paragraph?A. Sighted people may have great brain plasticity.B. Only injured and disabled people can have plasticity.C. Sighted people can' t read Braille as well as （he blind.D. Our brains will lose the ability to reorganize when we grow up.DBenjamin sat on the porch （门廊）of the old family house, thinking about his father. After Ethan passed away, Benjamin was the only person in the house. They once lived happily together in the house. But one night, Ethan and Benjamin had a fight. Benjamin walked out of the room angrily, he said no more to his father that night. For days, neither man talked to the other when they came back from work, and they did not even eat together any more. Days became months, the heavy silence between the two men continued.
