As the Camp Fire continued, killing at least 85 people and displacing thousands more in Northern California, Madison waited there.
Gaylord, the Anatolian shepherd mix’s owner, was not able to get to her home in Paradise, when the fire began to spread, meaning Madison was left behind. For weeks, all Gaylord could do was pray for Madison’s safety, according to California-based animal rescue organization Paw Print Rescue.
Sullivan, a volunteer with the organization, had already helped locate Madison’s brother Miguel in a different city. But Madison was even more difficult to find. Sullivan spotted Madison a few times in a canyon (峡谷), apparently guarding his land, and put out fresh food and water regularly in hopes that the dog would turn up, according to a Facebook post by Sullivan. She even placed an article of clothing that smelled like Gaylord near the home “to keep Madison’s hope alive until his people could return,” Sullivan wrote.
When the evacuation (疏散) order was lifted last week and Gaylord went back to her home—which had been ruined by the fire—her prayers were answered: Madison was there, seemingly protecting what little remained of his family’s home. “Well, I’ m so happy to report that Gaylord was allowed to return to her home today and THERE MADISON WAS!!!! He had stayed to protect what was left of his home, and never gave up on his people!” Sullivan wrote in the comment on her Facebook post. “I’ m so happy I’ m crying as I write this! He didn’ t give up through the storms or the fire!” she added.
Soon afterward, Madison was reunited with Miguel for the first time since the fire broke out. The emotional Gaylord said in an interview with the network that she was overcome with joy to see Madison waiting for her. She also expressed how grateful she was to Sullivan. Gaylord said fighting through tears, “You could never ask for better animals. He is the best dog.”

California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor (因素).
The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46,000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.
Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick McIntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources (资源).
But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, McIntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.
The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt (融雪).
Since the 1930s, McIntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.
8. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The distribution of big trees in California forests.
B. The increasing variety of California big trees.
C. The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.
D. The influence of farming on big trees in California.
9. Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?
A. Fire control measures. B. Banning woodcutting.
C. Limiting housing development. D. Ecological studies of forests.
10. What is a major cause of the water shortage according to McIntyre?
A. A warmer climate. B. A longer dry season.
C. Inadequate snowmelt. D. Dampness of the air.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Patrick McIntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California
B. Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California Soon
C. Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?
D. California’ s Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?
D
All around the world, lawyers generate more hostility(敌视) than the members of any other profession-with the possible exception of journalism. But there are few places where clients have more grounds for complaint than America.
During the decade before the economic crisis, spending on legal services in America grew twice as fast as inflation(通货膨胀）. The best lawyers made skyscrapers-full of money, tempting ever more students to pile into law schools. But most law graduates never get a big-firm job. Many of them instead become the kind of nuisance-lawsuit filer that makes the tort system a costly nightmare.
There are many reasons for this. One is the excessive costs of a legal education. There is just one path for a lawyer in most American states: a four-year undergraduate degree in some unrelated subjects, then a three-year law degree at one of 200 law schools authorized by the American Bar Association and an expensive preparation for the bar exam. This leaves today’ s average law-school graduate with $100,000 of debt on top of undergraduate debts. Law-school debt means that they have to work extremely hard.
Reforming the system would help both lawyers and their customers. Sensible ideas have been around for a long time, but the state-level bodies that govern the profession have been too conservative（保守的） to implement(实施) them. One idea is to allow people to study law as an undergraduate degree. Another is to let students sit for the bar after only two years of law school. If the bar exam is truly a strict enough test for a would-be lawyer, those who can sit it earlier should be allowed to do so. Students who do not need the extra training could cut their debt mountain by a third. The other reason why costs are so high is the restrictive guild-like(行会) ownership structure of the business. Except in the District of Columbia, non-lawyers may not own any share of a law firm. This keeps fees high and innovation slow. There is pressure for change from within the profession, but opponents of change among the regulators insist that keeping outsiders out of a law firm isolates lawyers from the pressure to make money rather than serve clients ethically.
In fact, allowing non-lawyers to own shares in law firms would reduce costs and improve services to customers, by encouraging law firms to use technology and to employ professional managers to focus on improving firms’ efficiency. After all, other countries, such as Australia and Britain, have started liberalizing their legal professions. America should follow.
12. A lot of students take up law as their profession due to
A. the growing demand from clients. B. the increasing pressure of inflation.
C. the prospect of working in big firms. D. the attraction of financial rewards.
13. Which of the following adds to the costs of legal education in most American states?
A. Higher tuition fees for undergraduate studies.
B. Admissions approval from the bar association.
C. Pursuing a bachelor’ s degree in another major.
D. Receiving training by professional associations.
14. The obstacle to the reform of the legal system originates from
A. Lawyers’ and clients’ strong resistance.
B. the rigid bodies governing the profession.
C. the stern exam for would-be lawyers.
5
D. non-professionals’ sharp criticism.
15. In this text, the author mainly discusses
A. wrong ownership of America’ s law firms and causes.
B. the factors that help make a successful lawyer in American.
C. a problem in America’ s legal profession and solutions to it.
D. the role of undergraduate studies in America’ s legal education.

Healthy See, Healthy Do
Visit the grocery store on an empty stomach, and you will probably come home with a few things you did not plan to buy. But hunger is not the only cause of additional purchases. The location of store displays (摆放) also influences our shopping choices. 16
The checkout area is a particular hotspot for junk food. Studies have found that the products most commonly found there are sugary and salty snacks. 17 . A 2012 study in the Netherlands found that hospital workers were more likely to give up junk food for healthy snacks when the latter were more readily available on canteen shelves, for example. In 2014 Norwegian and Icelandic researchers also found that replacing unhealthy foods with healthy ones in the checkout area significantly increased last-minute sales of healthier foods.
18 . It has been working with more than 1,000 store owners to encourage them to order and promote nutritious foods. “We know that the stores are full of cues (暗示) meant to encourage consumption,” says Tamar Adjoian, a research scientist at the department, “Making healthy foods more convenient or appealing can lead to increased sales of those products.”
Adjoian and her colleagues wondered if such findings would apply to their city’ s crowded urban checkout areas, so they selected three Bronx supermarkets for their own study. 19 .Then they recorded purchases over six three-hour periods in each store for two weeks.
Of the more than 2,100 shoppers they observed, just 4 percent bought anything from the checkout area. Among those who did, however, customers in the healthy lines purchased nutritious foods more than twice as often as those in the standard lines. 20 .The findings were reported in September in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior.
The potential influence may seem small, but Adjoian believes that changing more checkout lines would open customers’ eyes to nutritious, lower-calorie foods. Health department officials are now exploring ways to expand healthy options at checkout counters throughout New York City.
A. These foods give people more energy.
B. They bought unhealthy foods 40 percent less often.
C. And it may make or break some healthy eating habits.
D. The supermarkets began to offer nutritious, lower-calorie foods.
E. These findings caught the attention of New York City Department of Health.
F. They replaced candies and cookies with fruits and nuts near the checkout counter.
G. And a few studies have suggested that simply swapping in healthier options can change customer behavior.

In January 2013, Sam Bloom was on a family holiday with her husband, Cameron and their three young boys. After a morning 21 in the sea they discovered the hotel had a rooftop platform and all went up the 22 to enjoy their surroundings. Suddenly Cameron heard a tremendous crash. He 23 around and Sam was gone—as was the safety rail(栏杆) she had been 24 against. Sam fell into a deep depression after the fall from the roof left her paralyzed(瘫痪的) from the chest down. Doctors said she could never walk again.
Three months later, as they were heading home from Sam’s parents, Noah, her middle son, 25 a baby bird that had fallen to the ground. So they 26 it up and took it home. They called her Penguin because she looked like a penguin. She was just very 27 at two or three weeks old. She would have to be fed every two hours, but they decided rescuing this little bird would be a 28 thing to do together.
Penguin brought joy back to the family. Sam loved having Penguin around because she was like 29 . Penguin would rest on Sam’s lap or on her shoulder, Sam could finally 30 herself without feeling guilty—she would talk to Penguin; she would 31 to her behind Cameron and tell her how she was feeling. Some morning Penguin would just run down the hall and jump up into bed, 32 her way into the quilt and then roll over and sleep. Penguin had some 33 —she was not toilet-trained, and the house got quite messy. As she grew older, Penguin did sleep outside, but at six o’clock in the morning she’d be at the door, with a special 34 that meant, “Let me in!”
As her 35 grew, Penguin stayed away for longer periods. When she was one year old, she disappeared for six weeks. But on the little son’s 13th birthday, Penguin made a 36 visit. A year ago, she left again and hasn’t been seen 37 . The bird has found her freedom and Sam has a freedom of her own. Sam made a new 38 —she took up boating and even made the Australia Para-boating Team. She is out of the 39 and in the water and back in nature.
Over the two years, Cameron took about 14,000 pictures of Penguin, which have been collected in a book called Penguin Bloom. Penguin rescued the family as much as they rescued her. Sam got 40 it, thanks to her family, exercise and yes, the friendship of a bird. Angels come in all shapes and sizes!
