One day, she began to take a bath, he stopped her at the door, "Let me take it first, OK?" "Why not let me shower first," she asked. "I was tired, sweetie, you take it later, OK?" She was totally depressed.
On a morose day, she found nothing to do and turned on his computer, a few words blurred her eyes...it was his diary:
Today, I was quite sad, she asked me why I was always taking the bath first, and I said to her, I was exhausted. She was unhappy, in her mind, I treated her not as well as usual, but how can I do? I wasn’t as rich as before! We moved to the small apartment, there was only a shower in such a freezing winter.

I was thinking that, when she took the shower, the room would get warmer, at least1℃, 2℃or 3℃

One kind of female butterfly mates only once in its life -- and then closes its wings to avoid "harassment" when pursued by persistent and unwanted males, a Japanese researcher said.
Observations of the Small Copper Butterfly, a colourful orange and black butterfly, showed that some females closed their wings when males flew by, but only when they were males of their own species, said Jun-Ya Ide, an associate professor at Kurume Institute of Technology in Fukuoka, western Japan.
"When we looked into why, the males were courting the females. They do this very stubbornly, so the females sometimes try to get away -- or prefer to stay unobserved," he added.
Ide and his colleagues brought a model of a male butterfly near the females to test their reactions and found that young females that had yet to mate kept their wings open, but those that had already mated closed them.
Not only can the persistent attentions of unwanted suitors harm the delicate females, fleeing from them -- with the male often in pursuit -- uses up strength and can even shorten their lives, he added.
"Closing their wings makes them less visible, helping them avoid communication with their own species. We figured they were trying to avoid harassment by males," Ide said.
54.What does the word “harassment”mean in the paragraph？
A. attack B. embarrassment C. sexual invasion D. threat
55.Why some some females closed their wings when males flew by？
A. because they close their wings to avoid "harassment" when pursued by persistent and unwanted males.
B. because the female butterfly mates only once in its life.
C. because they don’t like the male butterfly at all.
D. because they are afraid of the male butterfly.
56.According the the passage, which is correct?
A. The females closed their wings when males flew by.
B. Only the model of a male butterfly can make the young female butterflies
to keep their wings open.
C. The female butterfly mates only once in its life.
D. Not only can the persistent attentions of wanted suitors harm the delicate females, fleeing from them -- with the male often in pursuit -- uses up strength and can even shorten their lives.

Half of the world’s population is affected by Asian monsoons（季风）, but monsoons are difficult to predict. American researchers have put together a 700-year record of the rainy seasons, which is expected to provide guidance for experts making weather predictions.
Every year, moist （潮湿的）air masses，known as monsoon，produce large amounts of rainfall in India, East Asia, Northern Australia and East Africa. All this wet air is pulled in by a high pressure area over the Indian Ocean and a low pressure area to the south.
According to Edward Cook , a weather expert at Columbia University in New York., the complex nature of the climate systems across Asia makes monsoons hard to predict. In addition, climate records for the area are too recent and not detailed enough to be of much use. Therefore, he and a team of researchers spent more than fifteen years traveling across Asia, looking for trees old enough to provide long-term records. They measured the rings, or circles, inside thousands of ancient trees in more than 300 places.
Rainfall has a direct link to the growth and width of rings on some kinds of trees. The researchers developed a document they are calling a Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas. It shows the effect of monsoons over seven centuries, beginning in the 1300s.
Professor Cook says the tree-ring records show periods of wet and dry weather. “If the monsoon basically fails or is a very weak one, the trees affected by monsoons at that location might put on a very narrow ring. But if the monsoon is very strong, the trees affected by that monsoon might put on a wide ring for that year. So, the wide and narrow ring widths of the chronology that we developed in Asia provide us with a measure of monsoon variability.” With all this information, researchers say they can begin to improve computer climate models for predicting the behavior of monsoons.
“There has been widespread famine and starvation and human dying in the past in large droughts. And on the other hand, if the monsoon is particularly heavy, it can cause extensive flooding.” said Eugene Wahl, a scientist with America’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “So, to get a sense of what the regional moisture patterns have been, dryness and wetness over such a long period of time in great detail, I would call it a kind of victory for climate science.”
63. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Long and details climate records can offer useful information for monsoon research.
B. The Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas has a monsoon record for about 1,300 years.
C. The trees affected by monsoon grow fast if the monsoon is weak.
D. The rainfall might be low although the monsoon is strong in monsoon-affected areas.
64. What do we know about the research according to Eugene Wahl?
A. It will help people prevent droughts and floods.
B. It should include information about human life in the past.
C. It has analyzed moisture models world wide,
D. It is a great achievement in climate science.
65. Which of the following best describes the tone of this passage?
A. Humorous B. Pessimistic C. Matter-of –fact D. Friendly.

Many people desire to be popular with others, but not everyone can achieve this goal．What is the secret to popularity?How to be popular
Most people desire to be popular with others, but not everyone can achieve this goal. What is the secret to popularity?
45 percent of the people surveyed believe that the first step is to improve our appearance. We should always make sure that we dress properly and be in good spirits. In addition, if we always keep a smile on our face and act in a friendly way towards others, people will be attracted to our good looks and impressed by our actions.
However, 55% of the people think a person popular with people is always considerate of others. It’s also important to be a good listener. In this way, people will feel comfortable enough to get along with you.
In my opinion, no matter what we do, we are supposed to be ourselves. Only by being respectful of others can we earn their respect. Meanwhile, if we are trustworthy, I am sure popularity will come our way.
