Trees in cities “live fast but die young” compared to forests in the countryside, warns a new study.
Researchers found that trees in cities die younger than ones in the countryside because of the higher levels of CO2. City-living trees suffer(遭受) a loss of carbon storage(碳储量). That means trees produce less energy from the air.
Now researchers say more must be done to deal with the situation. Ian Smith, a PhD student of Boston University in the United States, said, “Cities are in the important position in fighting against rising temperatures and increasing CO2.”. “We find that tree planting alone may not be enough to keep and increase city canopy cover(树冠覆盖率). Because of the age and size of the present canopy, efforts to improve and protect tree health are badly needed for increasing city tree cover and canopy cover.”
The research team used a model to watch changes among street trees for several planting and management methods. Researchers also used the model to watch tree growth, death and planting rates(率)both among trees in Boston city and forests in the countryside in Massachusetts.
It was discovered that rates of carbon cycling and growth rates among city trees were nearly four times faster than those in the countryside. However, loss of carbon storage and death rates are also higher, especially death rates are more than double higher than those in countryside forests.
The study, published in PLOS ONE, has reminded scientists to encourage communities to do more to plant and protect trees. It is important to increase city canopy cover and carbon storage.
Researchers say planting and protecting will be needed to make sure cities can develop healthily, but more needs to be done to have a better understanding of city trees ---which may be different from countryside forests.
1.. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE
A. The more carbon storage loses, the more energy the trees produce from the air.
B. The higher the levels of CO2 are, the harder it will be for the plants to survive.
C. If we plant enough trees, we are sure to increase city canopy cover.
D. Cities do better in fighting against rising temperatures and increasing CO2.
2. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us ____________.
A. the results of the study B. the discoveries from the researchers
C. the methods of the study D. the suggestions from the researchers
3. What does“ those” in Paragraph 5 refer to
A. Death rates. B. Rates of carbon cycling.
C. Growth rates. D. Loss of carbon storage.
4. The writer’s main purpose of writing the passage is ____________.
A. to teach us how to improve and protect tree health
B. to warn us that trees in cities live fast but die young
C. to let us have a better understanding of city trees
D. to tell us to take action to increase city canopy cover
(B)
Many children spend a lot of time watching or playing with electronic media –from televisions to video games, computers and other devices(设备).
So, it is natural that parents should wonder about the time children spend looking at a TV or computer screen. Americans say “screen time” when they talk about any time children spend in front of an electronic device.
Perhaps parents can stop worrying so much about screen time, at least for older boys and girls. In October 2016, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) listed several suggestions for parents and child care workers. Here are some of the suggestions.
Avoid digital media use in children younger than 18 to 24 months.
For children aged 18-24 months, avoid letting the child watch media alone. And avoid using media as a way to comfort your child.
For children two to five years of age, allow one-hour screen time on “high-quality(质量)programming” a day and watch it with your child.
For children aged 6 and older, don’t spend too much time using media. Also, make sure that screen time does not take the place of healthy sleep, exercising, doing homework and other activities.
Make sure to have media-free time together as a family, such as dinner or driving. Also make some areas of the home media-free. Turn off you child’s electronic devices an hour before bedtime.

B.They told parents how to reduce their children’s screen time.
C.They trained many child care workers.
D.They raised much money to stop children using electronic devices.
3.How do parents deal with the screen time for children two to five years of age
A.Choose proper programs and watch with them.
B.Play with them for at least one hour.
C.Avoid letting them watch TV.
D.Don’t worry about them.
4.How does AAP explain too much screen time
A.An hour or more every day.

Real policemen's lives can hardly have any similarity to what they see on TV.
The first difference is that a policeman's real life is almost around criminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes(犯罪) and what can be used to prove someone guilty and lead him into prison. He has to know nearly as much law as a professional lawyer, and what's more, he has to apply it on his feet, in the dark and rain, running down a street after someone he wants to talk to.
Little of his time is spent in chatting. He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty of stupid crimes.
Most television crime dramas are about finding the criminal: as soon as he's arrested, the story is over. In real life, finding a criminal is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks, only a little effort is spent on searching.
Having made an arrest, a policeman really starts to work. He has to prove his case so he often has to look for a lot of different clues.
A third big difference between the drama policeman and the real one is the unpleasant pressures. First, as members of a police force, they always have to behave completely according to the law. Second, as expensive public servants, they have to get results. They can hardly ever do both. Most of the time some of them have to break the rules in small ways.
If a policeman has to deceive the world, the world often deceives him. Hardly anyone he meets tells him the truth. And most policemen feel the separation between themselves and the rest of the world is deepened. Most citizens, social workers, doctors, lawmakers, and judges are in some ways simple minded. They suggest not punishing the criminals in a very strict way in the hope that this will make them reform. The result, most policemen feel, is that nine tenths of their work is recapturing people who should have stayed in prison. This makes them feel rather bad.
( )1.Most crime dramas on TV end with ________.
A.a terrorist attack B.a criminal's arrest
C.another crime happening D.the discovery of clues
( )2.Which of the following statements is TRUE
A.A policeman needs to spend time chatting and typing words on forms.
B.A policeman never searches unless some serious cases take place.
C.A policeman should be professional enough to know the law well.
D.A policeman can break the rules in small ways in order to get results.
( )3.What can we infer from the underlined sentence
A.Most policemen feel tired out.
B.Strong punishment causes crimes.
C.A policeman's work is boring.
D.Only a few criminals will reform.
( )4.The passage mainly tells us ________.
A.criminals should behave completely according to the law
B.people usually judge a policeman by his knowledge of law
C.a policeman's real life is different from what is shown on TV
D.there is separation between the police and the rest of the world

Every place offers the possible dangers for getting hurt, even staying at work. We may face dangers like walking into desks or chairs, receiving unexpected cuts from a paper knife and so on. Industrial jobs have similar and more dangers like getting body parts hurt by machines or falling from a height.
No one wants to get hurt. Some accidents are avoidable(可避免的). Most accidents happen because of common things seen every day—an open desk drawer, a chair pulled out too far, water on the floor and so on. We slowly get used to these things we see every day and never think about what they could possibly become in the future.
Think about the following to prevent dangers to yourself and others:
1. If there is something you see and know may become a danger for yourself or others, do something about it. Close a desk drawer, clean up or put a sign over the water, turn off the power before leaving, and so on.
2. Get extra persons’ help and support on a task that is too hard for a single person.
3. Study the situation and think what could possibly happen and change if necessary. Do it before something happens and you won’t have to say some day, “ I should have… How sorry I feel…”
To use an old phrase ‘Safety is everyone’s duty.’ Looking down on it could lead to being hurt. Keep the rule in mind every day “ Everyone wants to go home in the same condition they came to work in -–or better.”
