28、 may be taking steroids makes me mad because I put a lot of work into training while they are off strengthening their bodies in an illegal way and having success.Throughout the world of sports, high school athletes all the way up to the professionals use steroids.Last year, the biggest story involvi

29、ng steroids was in Major League Baseball.As a baseball player, I am disappointed to know that baseball is the sport in which steroids are used the most.

30、 started hitting all those home runs.

31、r would be suspended (延缓) 50 games, caught a second time the player would be suspended 100 games, and if caught a third time the player would be banned from Major League Baseball for life.Athletes take steroids to improve their physical ability, but why would you take them knowing that they are very

32、 unhealthy for your body?Players who take steroids can have significant emotional (情绪的) problems.They are often angered, and most of all they get hurt more easily than other players. A couple of years ago, a well-known major league baseball player, Ken Caminiti, 42 years of age, died because of ster

33、oids.He had a heart attack and died.Knowing that, why would anyone want to risk his life at a young age in order to have success only for a few years in his career?As a baseball player, I work every day on my game and I play all year in order to improve and to make it to the next level of my career.

34、 I know for a fact that in my later years of playing baseball I will be able to go farther in my years of playing than the players who take steroids.This is because they are likely to have health problems and injuries.Even though I may not be the biggest or strongest athlete, I know that I worked ha

39、some websiteCAlong with wind, water and animals, people can spread seeds around. They get picked up by shoes or car tyres, for example, and end up elsewhere.“But weve never looked at how many seeds get transported over what distances,” said Matthias Wichmann of the Center for Ecology and Hydrology a

40、t Wallingford in England. Dr. Wichmann and a team of researchers have now done that, and their findings are surprising: seeds can be carried on shoes for miles. In the study, the researchers looked at two wild plants that are found in a narrow band along a cliffside path in southern England that is

41、frequented by millions of day hikers annually. The researchers wondered if all that walking contributed to the spread of the plants.So they designed laboratory experiments in which people wearing hiking shoes or rubber boots stepped in mud, then in a tray (盘子) containing a specific number of seeds,

42、and then walked a given distance, from one meter (3 feet 3 inches) to five kilometers (a little over three miles). Seeds remaining on the shoes were then counted.They found that, as might be expected, most of the seeds fell off during the first 10 to 20 meters. But even with walks of five kilometers

43、, a few seeds remained. With the aid of computer they discovered that dispersal (散播) by shoes was more important over long distances than dispersal by wind, which with these seeds is generally limited to about 250 meters.Dr. Wichmann said that while such long-distance dispersal by walking might be r

44、are, it might have a great effect on the spread of certain species (物种), particularly the ones that are new to a certain area. “Only a few seeds may go very far,” he said. “But these are the pioneers they settle new sites and develop rapidly.”63. We can infer from the passage that _.A. some seeds can remain on your shoes after your walk five milesB. winds can carry any seeds as far as 250 metresC. walking plays the most important role in the spreading of seedsD. some rare plants result from people hiking64. The purpose of Wichmanns experiment is to find out_.A. the number and travellin
