The production of coffee beans is a huge, profitable business, but, unfortunately, full-sun
production is taking over the industry and bringing about a lot of damage. The change in how
coffee is grown from shade-grown production to full-sun production endangers the very existence
of, certain animals and birds, and even disturbs the world’s ecological balance.
On a local level, the damage of the forest required by full-sun fields affects the area’s birds
and animals. The shade of the forest trees provides a home for birds and other species that depend
on the trees’ flowers and fruits. Full-sun coffee growers destroy this forest home. As a result, many
special are quickly dying out.
On a more global level, the destruction of the rainforest for full-sun coffee fields also
threatens human life. Medical research often makes use of the forests' plant and animal life, and the
destruction of such species could prevent researchers from finding cures for certain diseases. In
addition, new coffee-growing techniques are poisoning the water locally, and eventually the
world's groundwater.
Both locally and globally, the continued spread of full-sun coffee plantations could mean the destruction of the rainforest ecology. The loss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in
the world's climate, and studies show that loss of oxygen-giving trees also leads to air pollution and
global warming. Moreover, the new growing techniques are contributing to acidic soil conditions.
It is obvious that the way much coffee is grown affects many aspects many aspects of life,
from the local environment to the global ecology. But consumers do have a choice. They can
purchase shade-grown coffee whenever possible, although at a higher cost. The future health of the
planet and mankind is surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coffee.
43.What can we learn about full-sun coffee production from Paragraph 4?
A. It leads to air pollution and global warming.
B.It limits the spread of new growing techniques.
C. It slows down the loss of shade trees.
D. It improves local soil conditions.
44. The purpose of the text is to _________.
A. entertain B. advertise C.persuade D. instruct
45.Where does this text probably come from?
A. An engineering textbook.
B. A medical journal.
C. An agricultural magazine.
D. A tourist guide.

Dear Seth,
You’re only three years old, and at this point in your life you can’t read, much less
understand what I’ll tell you in this letter. But I’ve been thinking a lot about the life that you have
ahead of you, about my life so far as I reflect on what I’ve learned, and about my role as a dad in
trying to prepare you for the trials(磨难) that you’ll face in the coming years.
You won’t be able to understand this letter today, but somebody, when you’re ready, I hope
you will find some wisdom and value in what I share with you.
You are young, and life has not yet to show a cold face to you, to throw disappointments and
loneliness and pain into your path. You have not been worn down yet by long hours of thankless
work, by the slings and arrows of everyday life.
For this, be thankful. You are at a wonderful time of life. You have many wonderful stages of
life still to come, but they are not without their costs and perils.
I hope to help you along your path by sharing some of the best of what I’ve learned. As with
any advice, take it with a grain of salt. What works for me might not work for you.
Life Can Be Cruel
There will be people in your life who won't be very nice. They’ll tease you because you’re
different, or for no good reason. They might try to bully you or hurt you.There’s not much you can do about these people except to learn to deal with them, and
learn to choose friends who are kind to you, who actually care about you, who make you feel
good about yourself. When you find friends like this, hold on to them, treasure them, spend time
with them, be kind to them, love them.
There will be times when you are met with disappointment instead of success. Life won’t
always turn out the way you want. This is just another thing you’ll have to learn to deal with. But
instead of letting these things get you down, push on. Accept disappointment and learn to
persevere, to pursue your dreams despite pitfalls. Learn to turn negatives into positives, and
you’ll do much better in life.
You will also face heartbreak and abandonment by those you love. I hope you don’t have to
face this too much, but it happens. Again, not much you can do but to heal, and to move on with
your life. Let these pains become stepping stones to better things in life, and learn to use them to
make you stronger.
But Be Open to life Anyway
Yes, you’ll find cruelty and suffering in your journey through life, but don’t let that close you
to new things. Don’t move back from life, don’t hide or wall yourself off. Be open to new things,
new experiences, new people.
You might get your heart broken 10 times, but find the most wonderful woman the 11th
time. If you shut yourself off from love, you’ll miss out on that woman, and the happiest times of
your life.
You might get teased and bullied and hurt by people you meet, and then after meeting
dozens of jerks, find a true friend. If you close yourself off to new people, and don’t open your
heart to them, you’ll avoid pain…, but also lose out on meeting some incredible people, who will
be there during the toughest times of your life and create some of the best times of your life.
You will fail many times but if you allow that to stop you from trying, you will miss out on the
amazing feeling of success once you reach new heights with your accomplishments. Failure is a
stepping stone to success.
Life Isn’t a Competition
You will meet many people who will try to do better than you, in school, in college, at work.
They’ll try to have nicer cars, bigger houses, nicer clothes, cooler gadgets. To them, life is a
competition—they have to do better than their peers to be happy.
Here’s the secret: life isn’t a competition. It's a journey. If you spend that journey always
trying to impress others, to outdo others, you’re wasting your journey. Instead, learn to enjoy the
journey. Make it a journey of happiness, of constant learning, of continual improvement, of love.
Don’t worry about having a nicer car or house or anything material, or even a better-paying
job. None of that matters a whit, and none of it will make you happier. You’ll acquire these things and then only want more. Instead, learn to be satisfied with having enough—and then use the
time you would have wasted trying to earn money to buy those things… use that time doing
things you love.
Finally, know that I love you and always will. You are starting out on an unknown, tiring,
scary, but badly wonderful journey, and always remember I will be there for you when I can.
Godspeed
Love, Your Dad

参考范文：
In recent years, desertification has gone from bad to worse and threatened us in many
ways. About one fourth of the world’s land surface has been replaced with desert and over 100
countries are suffering from the result. Worse still, the area of desert is likely to increase by 17%
by the next century.
Many factors contribute to the phenomenon. First, human beings’ behavior is at the bottom
of all the trouble, such as deforestation and illegal occupation of forest land. Second, global
warming has also sped up the process of desertification.
There is no denying that urgent measures should be taken to solve the problem. The
following measures may stop further desertification. On the one land, the government should make people in dry areas use good land management. On the other hand, we students should
take the responsibility to raise people’s awareness of the seriousness. Just take an active part in
the activities.
