Each piece is written for a French province with a title of bird chosen for each region. Messiaen uses the "colour of tones” at its most powerful, where different sounds interconnect and lay the birdsong among the nature most beautifully.The Cat and the Mouse by Aaron CoplandWe can hear so vividly different plots and the tune is easily accessible to all listeners. Copland uses the pace and rhythm successfully, which creates the animation in the music. Lots of loud and dissonant （刺耳的）chord is fully applied in the entire piece, giving the” storytelling “ nature to the music.The Maid and the Nightingale by Enrique GranadosIn the music, the maid sings a mournful song to the nightingale as her lover has gone to fight another guy out of jealousy, and eventually dies. After her mournful song ends, the last part of the piece is pure bird sound. Granados mainly uses quick and light single notes to paint the melodies of birdsongs.Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-SansThe Carnival of the Animals is the most famous work from Saint-Sans.

The message I want to convey is that it is never too late to pursue good health. In the past, whenever I felt uncomfortable, I would lie at home for an entire day. ”Chen had been in a poor physical condition since she was a child. She even had to give up her job after giving birth to her daughter because her health was severely affected by the pregnancy. Her husband shows his approval by doing most of the household chores.An overweight Chen started with light jogging, but a fitness coach later advised her to rehabilitate her knee before running. Because of this, Chen entered a gym for the first time on Dec 29,2018.Everyone in the gym was young. They were giving me weird looks,“ recalls Chen, who made it a point to walk 3. 5 kilometers to the gym every day.Her daily training started at 8 am with 50 pushups, mountain-climbing workouts, running and weightlifting. After a short break at 9 am, Chen continued working put until 3 pm. She hit the gym every day in 2019.

Good health is the best wealthCWhen Dr. Stanley Fineman started as an allergist, he reminded patients to start taking medications and prepare for pollen season in the middle of March. That was about 40 years ago. Today , he tells them to start around the middle of February.Since 1990, pollen season across the United States and Canada has been starting earlier, about 20 days earlier. And pollen loads, the amount of pollen released by plants, are 21 percent higher. The main reason for this, a new study found, is global warming.Other studies have demonstrated North America's allergy, season getting longer and worse. But this one, published in the Proceedings of the National Academies of Sciences, is the first study to make scientific connections between an earlier and more intense pollen season with human-caused climate change. The study says the warmer the Earth gets, the earlier spring starts for animals and plants, especially plants that release pollen. Additionally, plants yield more pollen when they drink in carbon dioxide.Since 1990,about half of the earlier pollen seasons were linked to climate change 一 mostly from warmer temperatures. And carbon dioxide played a part. Since the 2000s, about 65 percent of earlier pollen seasons can be blamed on wanning. And about 8 percent of the increased pol1en 1oads can be b1amed on climate change, Ri 11 Anderegg, the 1 earl writer of the study, said, u climate change is here and it's in every breath we take. This is clearly warming temperatures and more carbon dioxide, giving rise to more pollen in the air."Chris Downs of St. Louis, Missouri already has problems with breathing, headaches, and red itchy eyes. His allergies usually hit in March. But the last two years, they came in early February. As a kid I never saw anything start blooming in February, Downs said, “Now I see a handful of years like that. This is not just a matter of sneezing and watery eyes. There are more serious health concerns. A University of Maryland scientist said the pollen is a risk for other diseases including asthma.8.

What can we learn about Chris Downs?A. His allergies have been more severe.B. He sees more blossoms than before.C. His symptoms were ahead of time since two years ago.D. He has suffered from allergies since he was a kid.11. In the following paragraph, the writer will most probably deal with.A. causes of asthmaB. measures of preventing global warmingC. connection between asthma and pollen seasonD. advice on how to protect yourself against pollenDGoogle has announced plans to stop supporting tools designed to follow Internet users across the web in order to target them with specific advertising.Such tools are known as cookies-small data files that are stored on an Internet user's computer as they browse （浏览）different websites.

The country，s Competition and Markets Authority announced it had launched an investigation into whether the changes would give Google an unfair advantage over competitors in Internet advertising. The agency said it received objections to the plan from Marketers for an Open Web, a league of technology and publishing companies.
