When he was 22, Rob Stewart traveled the world for four years. He wanted to call attention to the mistreatment of sharks. His 2007 film,Sharkwater,documents the cruel practice of
removing sharks’ fins(鳍)for money and leaving the animals to die. In his latest documentary,Revolution, Stewart takes on an even bigger challenge: climate change.
The Canadian filmmaker says that climate change has harmed people and places everywhere:“It is stronger than any government or organization. If we educate people, they will make better decisions about protecting natural resources. ”
According to a recent report on climate change,“The atmosphere and ocean have warmed,the amounts of snow and ice have reduced, and sea levels have risen. ” These developments are endangering crops,wildlife,fish,and even people.
Stewart says that the consequences of climate change will be irreversible unless people take action,especially young people. “It’s up to kids to be the moral compass (道德指南)of society,” he believes,“and say,‘Guys,this is not right. ’”
Many kids took action after seeing Sharkwater. Elementary school students in the Northern Mariana Islands,for example, got their local government to ban the sale of shark fins.
Felix Finkbeiner,17,of Germany is also part of the“revolution”to save the planet. In 2007, Felix started a youth group called Plant-for-the-Planet, whose motto is “Stop Talking. Start Planting. ”The group raises money to plant trees. So far, Plant-for-the-Planet has planted nearly 200 trees around the world. “Future
generations are the ones who will be suffering the most from inaction (无作为),”Felix says. His goal is to plant millions of additional trees.
“When we started four years ago,”Felix tells Stewart in Revolution,^we thought we had to save the polar bear. We thought we had to save the environment. But soon after, we found out that it’s about our future,that we have to save our own future. ”

Are people less happy or happier the older they get? A study found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age 50. In fact, it found that by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were at 18.
The finding came from a Gallup survey of more than 340,000 adults between the ages of 18 and 85 in the United States.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.
Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. But the people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties. The survey also found that men and women had similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However,women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did.
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young childrens being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.
So why would happiness increase with age? One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
The original goal of the study was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems. The survey did find an increase during middle age, especially in women. But except for that,people reported that they felt their sleep quality improved as they got older.
28. Old people may be happier probably because .
A.their children have grown up
B. they don’t have to work every day
C.they can do whatever they like best
D. they are most likely satisfied with life
29. According to the survey,when will adults feel most stressed?
A.In their twenties. B.In their fifties.
C.In their seventies. D.In their eighties.
30. What may make Arthur Stone a bit surprised?
A.Women usually live longer than men.
B. Middle-aged men mostly are very rich.
C.Old people usually have a better sleep.
D. Most of old people can’t sleep well at night.
31. Which of the following may be the topic of this passage?
A.The difference between men and women.
B. Old people’s feeling of happiness.
C.The young people and the old people.
D. The connection of sleep and happiness.

The popular smartphone application Instagram(照片分享)has changed the way we look at photography, even our world. The photo-worthy moments we share serve as an important function in cultivating the photographic artistic eye.
Instagram has got people to start noticing the art in their everyday life. It has also allowed us to share the artful moments in our lives with others. Clearly, making people focus on beautiful moments in their lives and how to share them is a positive takeaway from Instagram.
Not only has Instagram changed the way we look at things around us,but it has also changed the way people view professional photography. Instagram has turned everyone with a smartphone into an artist. Opening up art to the general community is a groundbreaking (仓^新的)aspect of this application. Making artistic attempts accessible for everyone to discover their artistic talents and explore creatively is something that has made people find the beauty in the everyday. However, this accessibility has also created questioning around art and respect deserved by professional photography.
The art in a professional photograph versus an Instagram can sometimes be hard to notice at a quick glance. But photographs taken by true professional photographers hold something that Instagram’s cannot match in terms of photographic quality, or advanced compositional knowledge.
This is not to say Instagram is a lesser art. Aesthetic qualities of art are a personal matter and how good an artwork is depends on personal preferences. Good is a very arbitrary term in the art world. For example,I may find one photo more pleasing than another,but not everyone has to agree with me.
The point I am trying to make is that professional photography should not be lost, but instead approached with a new, enhanced level of respect and admiration一despite
how accessible, common and fun Instagram now makes the taking and sharing of photos.
32. What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage?
A. The increasing popularity of Instagram.
B. The advantages and disadvantages of Instagram.
C. The changes that Instagram brings us.
D. The differences between Instagram and professional photography.
33. What can the smartphone application Instagram do?
A. Help people to discover true self.
B. Inspire people to find the beauty in life.
C. Encourage people to be more competitive.
D. Let people gain others’ respect and admiration.
35. Why do people begin to doubt the art of professional photography?
A. Because common people can take perfect photos easily.
B. Because they show no respect for professional photographers.
C. Because the artistic level of professional photography is reducing.
D. Because Instagram has changed the way people look at the world.
37. What does the writer think of professional photography?
A. Useful. B. Valueless. C. Helpless. D. Absurd.
