According to the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association，Canada supplies 34% of the worlds wood pulp and 49% of its newsprint paper. If these paper products could be produced in some other way，Canad

25、ian forests could be left. Recently，a possible way of producing paper has been suggested by agriculturalists and environmentalists: a plant called hemp (麻)Hemp has been grown for a long time. It produces fiber which can be made into paper，fuel，oil，food and rope. For centuries，it was very important t

26、o the economies of many countries because it was used to make big ropes used on sailing ships. The worldwide trading network would not have been possible without hemp. Nowadays，ships ropes are usually made from wire or fibers，but scientists are now suggesting growing hemp. In fact，four times as much

27、 paper can be produced from land using hemp rather than trees，and many environmentalists believe that the large-scale growing of hemp could reduce the pressure on Canadas forests.However，there is a problem: hemp is illegal in many countries of the world. This plant，which is related to the plant from

28、 which a drug called marijuana (大麻毒品) is produced，is very useful for fiber，rope，oil and fuel. In the late 1930s，a movement to ban the drug marijuana began，resulting in the banning of the growing not only of the plant used to produce the drug，but also of the commercial fiber producing hemp plant. In

29、fact，the drug marijuana cannot be produced from the hemp plant，since it doesnt contain the active ingredient (成分)in the drug. In recent years，many people try to make it legal to grow the plant and sell the fiber for production.56Why is pulp and paper production important to Canada?ACanada needs to f

The study found 40% of girls thought Facebook was one of the most important things in their livescompared with 6% of boys. Parents were found to underestimate (低估)

33、 the importance of Internet technology.The role of social networking was particularly important in families with a single mother as parent. The survey was carried out last month and based on 3,000 parents and 1,000 children across the UK.The survey shows that girls are using social networking as som

34、ething central to their social and family life. Girls saw websites such as Facebook as much more influential (有影響力的) than television，magazines, famous people and even their own brothers and sisters. Asked to name the three most important things in their lives, the most popular choices for girls were

35、 friends, family and then Facebook and MSN.Girls are also more likely to believe that technologyin the form of social networking and mobile phonesplays an important role in their lives. While 41% of girls think technology is one of their biggest influences，only 17% of boys believe this.Girls see the

36、ir big influences as parents，teachers and technology，while boys choose parents，friends and school as their big influences. The survey says that parents have failed to keep up with their childrens use of technology，overestimating (高估) their own importance in their childrens lives.The survey also look

37、ed at how children thought about their relationships with their parents. It found that both boys and girls would much rather have stories read to them by their mothers. However，girls felt closer to their fathers，while boys felt closer to their mothers.60What can we know from the first paragraph?AThe

40、nesDmore boys regard technology as one of the biggest influences than girlsCFew of us havent read Cinderella, the story of a young woman living in poverty who meets the prince of her dreams. Some might not want to admit it, but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyones heartwe all wish we could achi

41、eve recognition or success after a period of obscurity(默默無聞).Mary Santiago has that secret dream, too. Her story is featured in Another Cinderella Story, a film set in a US high school. Mary is shy but loves to dance. Compared with other girls, she is invisible. However, her world changes completely

42、 when a famous teenager pop singer, Joey Parker, appears.Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are notkind, handsome and desirable. Mary and Joeys paths cross at a ball. They meet and fall in love with each other. But when Mary has to rush back home, she leaves behind her MP3 player,

43、which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams. Of course, there is a wicked(邪惡的) stepmother, who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies. Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesnt get into t

44、he top dance school. Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary, even if that means embarrassing her.The story, though it mostly follows Cinderella, does add a few modern day twists to the classic fairy tale. Refreshingly, the film, unlike many high school films, does not

45、 focus on looks, although the actors are all beautiful. There is also a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies.“The movie takes the Cinderella fairytale as its jumping off point,” writes movie critic Amber Wilkinson. “The focus is firmly on following your dream.

49、orida coast. Mullets, crabs, rays and small fish gather by the thousands off an Alabama pirer. Birds covered in oil are crawling deep into marshes（沼澤）, never to be seen again.Marine scientists studying the effects of the BP disaster（英國石油公司漏油事件）are seeing some strange phenomena. Fish and other wildli

50、fe seem to be fleeing the oil out in the Gulf and clustering in cleaner waters along the coast in a trend that some researchers see as a potentially troubling sign. The animals presence close to shore means their usual habitat is badly polluted, and the crowding could result in mass die-offs as fish

51、 run out of oxygen. Also, the animals could easily be captured by their enemies.The nearly two-month-old spill（漏油）has created an environmental disaster in US history as tens of millions of gallons have flown into the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem. Scientists are seeing some unusual things as they try to

52、understand the effects on thousands of species of marine life.For nearly four hours Monday, a three-person crew with Greenpeace cruised past delicate islands and mangrove-dotted inlets in Barataria Bay off southern Louisiana. They saw dolphins by the dozen frolicking（嬉戲）in the oily sheen（光澤）and oil-

53、tinged pelicans feeding their young. But they spotted no dead animals.I think part of the reason why were not seeing more yet is that the impacts of this crisis are really just beginning, Greenpeace marine biologist John Hocevar said.The counting of dead wildlife in the Gulf is more than an academic

54、 exercise; the deaths will help determine how much BP pays in damages.68What do the marine life react to the BP disaster?ABirds crawl deep into caves.BDolphins and sharks show up in deep water.CTens of thousands of marine animals are found dead.DSea creatures flee from oil spill, gathering near seas

57、nd rationality (理性), but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool. In high school I wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any reasonable student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department, many famous professors and lots of goo

58、d labs and research equipment. But thats not what I did. I chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts (文科) university that doesnt even offer a major in electrical engineering. Obviously, this was not a practical choice; I came here for more noble reasons. I wanted a broad education that woul

59、d provide me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in my job. I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by communicating with people who werent studying science or engineering. My parents, teachers and other adults praised me for such a wise choice. They told me I was wise and grown-up

60、 beyond my 18 years, and I believed them. I headed off to the college and sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineering factories where they didnt care if you had values or were flexible. I was going to be a complete engineer: technical expert and excellent hu
