Changing the direction suddenly to avoid the puppy, Scott's truck rolled over and he was severely injured.“I got knocked out and when I finally recovered consciousness, I couldn't move,“ Scott said. "I couldn't even reach up to get my cellphone from the dashboard of my truck. I remember saying, ' Fmgoing to need some help here in the next 5 or 10 minutes.'"And that help came.

Tim visited Scott in the hospital several times and took him out for a drive after his shoulder surgery in August.The October harvest was only six weeks away, and Scott had 600 acres of soybeans（大豆）and corn to harvest. Not harvesting them in time could destroy his crops, his sole means of income. Who would maintain and harvest his corn and soybean crops? And because Scott lives alone, who would care for his dogs, and maintain his home and yard? This town of 198people did. While volunteers checked his home, mowed his lawn, and fed his dogs, 18 farmers conducted the harvest. Farmers in Frost, Minnesota, gathered to harvest Scott 9s soybean crops on October 4th.Scott plans to plant his new crops next spring. If he needs help, he knows where to findit.

As the founder of a miniature ceramics （微型陶瓷）studio, Wang Wenhua never expected that his works would surprise viewers in China, let alone those abroad, and that his short videos would earn over 45 million views and 4.2 million likes on a video application.Having worked in China's "Porcelain Capital （瓷都）“Jingdezhen in East China's Jiangxi Province for 14 years, Wang said he had once seen the world's biggest ceramic here but he had never seen the smallest, so he decided one day to try something different-making micro porcelain.Things were not easy in the beginning, and many people doubted him. "They called me crazy and mocked me when I went to factories and asked them to help make miniature tools for me to create micro pottery. Even my wife did not support me,“ Wang said. However, Wang did not give up and after about half a year of experimentation, Wang finally made miniature tools on his own and was able to complete his first miniature porcelain-a vase.According to Wang, the key to making a miniature ceramic work is concentration and a pair of steady hands. After numerous attempts, Wang found that the smallest works he could get were about 2 millimeters in size. "It would probably miss my original intention if I made micro pottery using a microscope, so I have focused more attention on making the smaller pieces more beautiful and complex/9 said Wang.The smallest vase that Wang has made is a bowl only 2 millimeters tall, 3 millimeters wide and 1 millimeter thick. Wang says he plans to apply for the Guinness World Records for the world's smallest pottery work.28. What inspired Wang Wenhua to make micro porcelain?A. The high expectations of the viewers.B. The popularity of his videos on a video application.C. His decision to make something different.D. The responsibility of the founder of the studio.29. Which words can best describe Wang Wenhua?A. Ambitious and wise.B. Brilliant and wealthy.C. Talented and stubborn.D. Determined and focused.30. What plays a significant role in Wang producing a miniature ceramic work?A. Using a microscope in his work.B. Advanced tools made by himself.C. Carrying out numerous experiments.D. Attention on a thing and steady hands.31. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A. Art.B. Fashion.C. Education.D. Psychology.DDo you know that the oldest tree is a 5, 000-year old bristlecone pine（狐尾松）located inthe forests of Nevada? Unfortunately, many of these precious old-growth trees are starting to disappear from our planet. The term old-growth refers to trees that are 150 years or older. This meansthat many of the trees on the Earth today are younger, smaller, and have shorter lifespans.As the Earth's temperature warms up due to climate change, it is having unintendedeffects on the world's forests. When temperatures rise, trees close their pores （气孑L） toprevent the loss of moisture, and this, in turn, slows down the process of photosynthesis （光合作用）.As a result, these trees are shorter and grow slowly, as well as have a high deathrate. Climate change also increases the possibility of droughts and wildfires. After wildfires, it takes a while for the forest ecosystems to recover, and in some cases, the forests are lost permanently. Trees that are stressed are also susceptible（易受影响的）to attacks by bacteria（细菌）.Finally, humans have changed the forest landscape through logging（伐木）.There are some who claim that increased greenhouse gas emission is helping trees grow faster because CO2, is needed for photosynthesis. While some younger trees may benefit from this, we are seeing significantly more loss of forests than gain.Old-growth forests are a storehouse of carbon, and when they die, the stored CO2, is released into the air worsening the greenhouse effect. Older forests have higher biodiversity, which is beneficial as each organism has a role to play and there is a wide variety of species. As these forests disappear, species that once called them"home" are forced to relocate, affecting the biodiversity of those ecosystems. Unfortunately, some endangered species are unable to adapt and go extinct.With trees dying continuously, will future generations miss out on the wonders offorests?32. What
