the most famous of these animals are lived on the earth tens of millions of years ago, long before humans came into being and their future seemed secure at that were many different kinds of dinosaur and a number of them used to live in eggs of twentyfive species have been found in Xixia, County, Nanyang, Henan long ago a rare new species of birdlike dinosaur was discovered in Chaoyang County, Liaoning scientists inspected the bones, they were surprised to find that these dinosaurs could not only run like the others but also climb learned this from the way the bones were joined died out suddenly about 65 million years scientists think it came after an unexpected incident when a huge rock from space hit the earth and put too much dust into the think the earth got too hot for the dinosaurs to live on any knows for sure why and how dinosaurs disappeared from the earth in such a short know many other wild plants, animals, insects and birds have died out more to a UN report, some 844 animals and plants have disappeared in the last 500 dodo is one of lived on the Island of Mauritius and was a very friendly listen to a story of the dodo and how it disappeared from the 5 MusicTHE

pubs or clubs, for which they are paid in course they hope to make records in a studio and sell millions of copies to bee millionaires!However, there was one band that started in a different was called the Monkees and began as a TV musicians were to play jokes on each other as well as play music, most of which was based loosely on the TV organizers had planned to find four musicians who could act as well as put an advertisement in a newspaper looking for rock musicians, but they could only find one who was good had to use actors for the other three members of the some of these actors could not sing well enough, they had to rely on other musicians to help during the broadcasts they just pretended to their performances were humorous enough to be copied by other were so popular that their fans formed clubs in order to get more familiar with week on TV, the Monkees would play and sing songs written by other , after a year or so in which they became more serious about their work, the Monkees started to play and sing their own songs like a real they produced their own records and started touring and playing their own the USA they became even more popular than the Beatles and sold

你曾經(jīng)想過要成為一個樂隊里有名的歌手或音樂家嗎？你是否曾夢想過在音樂會上面對成千上萬的觀眾演唱，觀眾欣賞你的歌唱為你鼓掌嗎？你唱卡拉OK時是否假裝自己就是像宋祖英或劉歡一樣著名的歌星嗎？說實在的，很多人把名和利看得很重。他們開始可能是一組中學生，在某個人家里排練音樂是成名的第一步。后來，他們可能在酒吧或者俱樂部里演出，這樣他們可以得到現(xiàn)金。然而，也有一個用不同方式組建起來的樂隊。組成樂隊的音樂人演奏音樂，還彼此打趣都笑。電視制作人原計劃想尋找四位會唱又會表演的樂手。樂隊的其他三人只能用演員來代替。所以在演出的時候他們只是假唱。他們非常走紅使得歌迷們?yōu)榱烁邮煜に麄兌闪⒘司銟凡?。然而，?jīng)過大約一年以后，門基樂隊逐漸對自己的工作認真起來，他們開始像一支真正的樂隊那樣演唱自己創(chuàng)作的歌曲。在美國，他們甚至比“甲殼蟲”樂隊還要受歡迎，出售的錄音專輯還要多。在1996年，他們推出了一張新的專輯，像真正的樂隊一樣以此來慶祝他們以往的時光。簡研究這些黑猩猩家族已經(jīng)很多年了，她幫助人們了解黑猩猩跟人類的行為是多么的相似。這意味著我們要返回前一天晚上我們離開黑猩猩一家睡覺的大樹旁。然后這群黑猩猩向森林深處漫步而去，我們尾隨其后。簡預先提醒我們，到下午的時候我們就會又臟又累。不過到傍晚時分我們覺得這一切都是值得的。我明白了猩猩家庭成員之間的聯(lián)系像人類家庭一樣緊密。她花了多年的時間來觀察并記錄黑猩猩的日常生活。但是，這不是一件簡單的事。她母親頭幾個月來幫過她的忙，這才使她得以開始自己的計劃。比方說，她的一個重要發(fā)現(xiàn)是黑猩猩獵食動物。她曾經(jīng)親眼看到過一群黑猩猩捕殺一只猴子，然后把它吃掉。40年來，簡?古道爾一直在呼吁世人了解并尊重這些動物的生活。她還為黑猩猩建起了可以安全生活的保護區(qū)。我就會想起實驗室的黑猩猩，太可怕了。我會對自己說：‘難道它們不幸運嗎？’然后我就想起那些沒有任何過錯卻被關在籠子里的小黑猩猩。她激勵著人們?yōu)閶D女們的成就而歡呼喝彩。很偶然地，我看到了一篇關于林巧稚大夫的文章。林巧稚似乎一直都在為自己選擇的事業(yè)而奔忙，她去國外留學，并寫了很多書和文章。這是一本小書，介紹如何從婦女懷孕到護理嬰兒的過程中降低死亡率。她為什么要寫這些東西呢？林巧稚認為哪些婦女會需要這些忠告呢？我細細地看了這篇文章，了解到那是為農(nóng)村婦女寫的。突然我想起，在那個年代，一個女子去學醫(yī)是多么困難??！那可是一個女性受教育總是排在男性之后的年代。后來使她成功的是她對所有病人獻出的愛心和體貼?，F(xiàn)在我迫不及待地想多了解一些有關她的情況。她確保了大約五萬名嬰兒的安全出生。為什么不像林巧稚那樣去讀醫(yī)學院，繼續(xù)她高尚的事業(yè)呢？現(xiàn)在努力提高學習成績、準備大學入學考試還不算晚??UNIT2 造福全人類的先驅(qū)者盡管是中國最著名的科學家之一，袁隆平仍然認為自己是個農(nóng)民，因為他在田里耕作，進行科學研究。袁博士種植的是被稱為“超級雜交水稻的”的稻種。這種特殊的稻種使得同樣的田地多收獲三分之一的產(chǎn)量。袁博士1930年出生，1953年畢業(yè)于西南農(nóng)學院。年輕時，他就看到了稻田增產(chǎn)的巨大需求。袁博士要在不增加土地面積的基礎上尋求達到增收稻谷的途徑。這一糧食產(chǎn)量的增加意味著中國僅僅7%的耕地養(yǎng)活了世界22%的人口。多虧了他的研究，聯(lián)合國在消除世界饑餓的戰(zhàn)斗中有了更多的辦法。袁博士很滿意他的生活。他寧愿把時間花在自己的業(yè)余愛好上。在自己身上花錢或者享受舒適的生活對袁博士來說意義不大。于是，他拿出好幾百萬元幫助其他人進行農(nóng)業(yè)科學研究。很久以前，袁博士曾在夢里看到水稻長得像高粱一樣高，稻穗跟玉米穗一樣大，而每粒稻谷像花生米一樣大。在很多年后的今天，袁博士還有另外一個夢想，那就是他的稻谷可以出口并長遍全球?；瘜W耕作還是有機耕作？在過去的半個世紀里，在耕作中使用化肥已經(jīng)非常普遍。把化肥作為防治農(nóng)作物病蟲害和提高產(chǎn)量的重要手段?；蕩淼膯栴}有哪些呢？首先，化肥在殺死病菌和害蟲的同時也會殺死有益的細菌和昆蟲，從而破壞土地。隨著時間的推移，食物中的這些化學成分會在人體中堆積。另外，施過化肥的水果、蔬菜和其他食物通常生長得過快而營養(yǎng)不足。由于這些發(fā)現(xiàn)，一些農(nóng)民和消費者開始轉(zhuǎn)向有機耕作。農(nóng)民關心的是保持土壤肥沃并且免受病害。因此，有機耕作的農(nóng)民通常喜歡把天然的動物糞便當作肥料。有機耕作的農(nóng)民也使用很多其他的方法來保持土地肥沃。例如，種玉米和小麥后來年再改種豌豆或大豆。有機耕作的農(nóng)民還種植多種農(nóng)作物來利用不同層次的土壤。還有一些有機耕作者喜歡在農(nóng)作物之間種草，以防止水土流失，并且把草留在地里，從而成為來年農(nóng)作物的天然肥料。UNIT3 無聲的幽默的大師維克多?雨果曾經(jīng)說過：“笑容如陽光，驅(qū)走人們臉上的冬天。在兩次世界大戰(zhàn)及中間艱苦的歲月里，他給美國和英國人民帶來了快樂。然而查理自己的生活也并不容易。他的父母都是音樂廳里貧窮的演員。這樣的訓練在當時演員家庭中是很普遍的，尤其是在家庭收入經(jīng)常不穩(wěn)定的時候。在十多歲的時候
