ExtinctionI Fear and Hope at the La Brea Tar Pits
November 10, 2016
Species extinctions happen routinely. And evolution can’t go ahead without them. Charles
Darwin was the first to grasp that more adapted species appear as less-adapted species die out. But
mass extinctions, which happen only rarely and wipe out large numbers of species regardless of how
adapted they are, pose a different kind of challenge. Today, scientists have rung the alarm that a sixth
mass extinction on planet Earth may be underway—this one caused by none other than us!
What better place to think about the role of extinction in the past, present, and future than the La
Brea Tar Pits? How do the stories we tell about extinct animals and plants, and the museum
exhibitions, images and films we use to remember them, shape science, laws, and policies to protect
endangered species?
Join us for a lively conversation looking at endangered plants and animals, extinction, and the
global consequences of mass extinction and come away inspired with new ideas and hopes for the
future.
The discussion will include:
● Stewart Brand, environmental author, co-founder and president of The Long Now Foundation
● Dr. Emily Lindsey, Assistant Curator (h K) and Excavation Site Director of the La Brea Tar
Pits and Museum
● Jon Christensen, environmental journalist, science writer and historian with UCLA (University
of California, Los Angeles), co-founder of the Laboratory of Environmental Narrative Strategies
(LENS)
● Ursula Heise, UCLA Professor of English, LENS co-founder and author of the new book
Imagining Extinction: The Culrural Meanings of Endangered Species
Schedule:
6:00 pm: Doors open, tours available
7:00 pm: Discussion begins
8:30 pm: Discussion concludes
9:00 pm: Doors close
Cost: Free
Advanced reservation required.
21.What is the program mainly about?
A.Extinctions of species. B.Mass extinctions in history
C.Some environmental books. D.Charles Danwin’s achievements.
22.How long would the discussion part last?
A.1.0 hour. B.1.5 hour.
C.2.5 hours. D.3.0 hours.
23.What do we know about the program?
A.A booking is needed. B.It aims to warn people
C.It is held mainly for teens. D.It costs only a little money.

In 1971 a young man who grew up very poor was traveling across the country, trying to
make a new start for himself. Along the way he had completely run out of money and was forced to
spend the night in his car. This continued until one morning, after a week of sleeping in his car, he
walked nervously into a restaurant and ordered a big breakfast.
After eating his first good meal in weeks, he found himself lying to the waiter, telling him he
had lost his wallet. The waiter, who was also the owner, walked behind the chair where the young
man had been sitting. He bent down, and came up with a $ 20 bill that looked as if it had fallen on the
floor. “Sir, you must have dropped this, ” the owner said. The young man couldn't believe his luck!
He quickly paid for the breakfast, left a tip, bought gas with the change, and headed West.
On the way out of town, he began to understand what that fellow did. “Maybe nobody dropped
the money at all. Maybe that fellow just knew I was in trouble and he helped me in a way that didn't
embarrass me. So I just made a promise to help other people if I can. ”
Later, he worked very hard and became a rich man. Now, he lives near Kansas City. Each year
he gives away thousands of dollars. He is known as the “Secret Santa” because at Christmas time
each year, he personally hands money out to those on the street and at restaurants. Last year, he gave
more than $ 50,000 away in Kansas City.
24.The young man was traveling across the country in 1971 probably to _____ .
A.improve his life B.hand out gifts to passers-by
C.look for a good restaurant D.show his new car to others
25.On the way out of town, the young man got to know that ___.
A.it was very honest of the owner to return his money
B.he could probably find himself a job in the restaurant
C.the owner helped him in a way that didn't hurt his feelings
D.another man who had breakfast in the restaurant lost the money
26.From this text we can infer that ___.
A.the man raised money for the poor B.the man did carry out his promise
C.Santa gives the man money each year D.the man was not successful in the end
27.The best title for the text may be __.
A.Secret Santa of Kansas City B.The Key to Success
C.A kind Waiter in the Restaurant D.Never Give Up
C
As the sun set he remembered, to give himself more confidence, the time in the tavern at
Casablanca when he had played the hand game with the great negro from Cienfuegos who was the
strongest man on the docks. They had gone one day and one night with their elbows on a chalk line on
the table and their forearms straight up and their hands gripped tight. Each one was trying to force the
other’s hand down onto the table. There was much betting and people went in and out of the room
under the kerosene lights and he had looked at the arm and hand of the negro and at the negro’s face.
They changed the referees every four hours after the first eight so that the referees could sleep. Blood
came out from under the finger-nails of both his and the negro’s hands and they looked each other in
the eye and at their hands and forearms and the bettors went in and out of the room and sat on high
chairs against the wall and watched. The walls were painted bright blue and were of wood and the
lamps threw their shadows against them. The negro’s shadow was huge and it moved on the wall as the
breeze moved the lamps.
The odds would change back and forth all night and they fed the negro rum and lighted cigarettes
for him. Then the negro, after the rum, would try for a tremendous effort and once he had the old man,
who was not an old man then but was Santiago El Campeon, nearly three inches off balance. But the
old man had raised his hand up to dead even again. He was sure then that he had the negro, who was a
fine man and a great athere, beaten. And at daylight when the bettors were asking that it be called a
draw and the referee was shaking his head, he had unleashed his effort and forced the hand of the
negro down and down until it rested on the wood. The match had started on a Sunday morning and
ended on a Monday morning.
Many of the bettors had asked for a draw because they had to go to work on the docks loading
sacks of sugar or at the Havana Coal Company.
Otherwise everyone would have wanted it to go to a finish. But he had finished it anyway and
before anyone had to go to work.
For a long time after that everyone had called him The Champion and there had been a return
match in the spring. But not much money was bet and he had won it quite easily since he had broken
the confidence of the negro from Cienfuegos in the first match. After that he had a few matches and
then no more. He decided that he could beat anyone if he wanted to badly enough and he decided that
it was bad for his right hand for fishing. He had tried a few practice matches with his left hand. But his
left hand had always been a traitor and would not do what he called on it to do and he did not trust it.
Quoted from The Old Man and the Sea written by Ernest Hemingway
28.Since the old man is the main character, in the hand game, why does Hemingway put more
efforts in describing his opponent the negro?
A.Because Hemingway himself is an anti-racist who wants to support the colored race.
B.By doing so, he indirectly shows how strong and determined the old man is to readers.
C.he shifts readers’ attention to a new character to neutralize the nervous atmosphere.
D.There is no need to describe the old man because he is well-known to all readers.
29.What does the underlined word “unleashed” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.spare B.restrict C.reduce D.loose
30.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Many bettors were afraid of losing their money so they wanted to call the game a draw.
B.The old man had owed his victory over the negro more to his will than to his strength.
C.The referee had been convinced by the bettors that the game be considered a draw.
D.Regular hand games should be a good practice to enhance the old man’s fishing skills.
31.What can be inferred from the whole passage?
A.The old man could have ended the game earlier but he had withheld his power.
B.Many workers working on the decks had showed no respect towards the old man.
C.The old man had to self-feed himself a lot so as to stay competitive in the game.
D.The negro was not as strong and athletic as the old man had expected him to be.

A brand is a name, word, sign, symbol, design, or a combination of these, intended to identify
the goods or services of a company or a group of companies. Another purpose of a brand is to
contrast one company from another. The most important skill of professional marketers is the ability
to create, maintain, protect, and enhance the brands of their products and services. Branding has
become so important that today hardly any company or product is without one. Therefore, brand
management is an increasingly important element in marketing.
Brand power refers to the relative strength of a company’s brand in the minds of consumers,
and can influence consumers’ choice of products. Brands are powerful to the extent that they give
high brand loyalty and strong brand associations, name recognition, perceived quality and other
assets to a company. A strong brand can be one of a company’s most important assets.
High brand power provides a company with many competitive advantages. A powerful brand
enjoys a high level of consumer brand awareness and loyalty. Because consumers expect stores to
carry the brand, the company has more bargaining power when negotiating with retailers (零售商).
And because the brand name brings high credibility, a company with a strong brand can more easily
launch new products with the same brand name.
Many companies use the advantage of a strong brand power strategically to expand their
business. When a company introduces an additional item with a new flavour, form, colour or
package size in a given product category and under the same brand name, it is called a line
extension. Another strategy is called brand extension. This involves the use of a successful brand
name to launch new or modified products in a new category, thereby employing brand recognition in
order to increase sales of new products.
Brand recognition is certainly important. Because consumers often hold long-standing
perceptions about brands, high brand power ensure a company continued sales of its products.
32.What does the word “assets” in the 2nd paragraph mean?
A.points B.advantages C.aspects D.elements
33.All of the following statements are the advantages of a high brand power EXCEPT that______.
A.a high brand wins the loyalty of consumers
B.a high brand usually sets a much higher price
C.it’s easy for a high brand company to launch new products
D.a high brand company is more competitive when doing business with retailers
34.A brand extension ______.
A.happens when the company is developing a new product
B.means the expansion of a company’s business in its established field
C.takes place when the company introduces a similar item but with a new colour
D.refers to the use of an established brand name to promote a new product in a new category
35.What might be the best title of this passage?
A.Brand Power B.Famous Brands
C.Company Brands D.Brand Products

Does Waking Up Early Benefit Everyone?
We’ve all heard it before: to be successful, get out of bed early. After all, Apple CEO Tim Cook
gets up at 3:45 a.m. – and, as we know, “the early bird catches the worm.” But just because some
successful people wake up early, does that mean it’s a trait most of them share? And if you are not an
early bird, are you really doomed to a less successful life?
36. It’s estimated that some 50% of the population isn’t really morning or evening-oriented,
but somewhere in the middle. Numerous studies have found that morning people are more persistent,
self-directed and agreeable, while night owls tend to perform better on measures of memory,
processing speed and cognitive ability, even when they have to perform those tasks in the morning.
Still think the morning people sound more like CEO material? Don’t set your alarm for 5 a.m.
just yet.37. “If people are left to their naturally preferred times, they feel much better. They say
that they are much more productive. The mental capacity they have is much broader,” says Oxford
University biologist Katharina Wulff, who studies chronobiology (生物钟学) and sleep. On the other
hand, she says, pushing people too far out of their natural preference can be harmful. When they wake
early, for example, night owls are still producing melatonin ( 褪 黑 素 ). “38. That can have lots
of negative physiological consequences,” Wulff says.
In many ways, that makes sense, since research shows that our chronotype ( 睡眠类型), or
internal clock, is mainly biological. Up to 47% of it is inherited, which means if you want to know
why you pop up at dawn each day (or never do), you should probably look at your parents.
39. Children tend toward morning, with a peak shift toward night around age 20 and a slight
change back toward morning at around age 50.
In our rush to figure out the ‘secrets’ of success, we tend to forget a couple of things. First, not all
high achievers are early risers, and not all early risers are successful. More importantly, things that are
connected don’t necessarily cause the events. 40.
A.And your preference does change as you age.
B.For about half of us, this isn’t really an issue.
C.Then you interrupt it and push the body to be in the daytime mode.
D.As it turns out, changing your sleep times may not have much effect.
E.And shifting someone’s chronotype doesn’t necessarily change these traits.
F.In other words, it’s not clear that waking up early itself provides the benefit.
G.However, morning exposure to bright light and avoiding light at night can help.

Garbage sorting is vitally to our life and environment. For one thing, garbage sorting can help
separate the recyclable waste from the rest. To reuse and recycle this kind of waste are to save
resources to a large extent, that also contributes to the environmental protection. For another, sorting
waste is a meaningful deed.

an example. I used loads of paper every year, so with waste paper packing up, I can sell it and earn
some pocket money. Also you can make a contribution to the environmental protections.
In a word, we should bear on mind that garbage sorting will bring profound rewards to our
society.

Hello, everybody. I am planning a trip called “Be a Kid in the Mountains”. It will provide us with
a meaningful week staying with the students in the mountains.
As many of their parents leave for the city development, these students might feel lonely and
some may even find it hard to go on studying. So we can bring them some school things like books and
pens for their study, and prepare some interesting stories to share. In the daytime, we can go hiking and
do some teamwork. In the evening, we can do such activities as popular games and group dance
around the fire.
Isn’t that exciting? Come and join us. Let’s be “a kid in the mountains”. I believe it will bring
sunshine to the mountains as well as more confidence to us. Thank you!
