A slow death is creeping through Earth’s forests. As animals are killed by hunters or forced away by logging, the plants that depend on them to carry their seeds begin to disappear. Over time, trees and other plants may vanish. Climate change is accelerating this process, a new study suggests—and it may eventually harm biodiversity.
Many plants need help to move about the world. About half of all species rely on birds and mammals to eat or carry their fruits and nuts to new places. When these partners disappear, forests and plant communities can struggle to regenerate.
Climate change is making things worse. As temperatures warm and rainfall decreases, plant populations will have to extend their ranges by as much as tens of kilometers per year.
Ecologist Evan Fricke, wanted to know how well plants all across the planet might be able to move to new habitats. He and his colleagues gathered existing data from thousands of studies that looked at how birds and mammals spread seeds, including how far they travel and what percentage of the seeds actually get to grow. They focused on seeds that are dispersed more than 1 kilometer, a distance that is great enough to expand populations and help them recover from disturbances.
The average ability of plants to keep pace with climate change has already declined by 60%, the research found. “That should certainly be ringing alarm bells,” says Fricke, “We’re ‘forcing’ plants to move these great distances, but we’ve also significantly slowed their ability to do so.”
The loss of the ability is greater in temperate (温带) regions according to the research. That’s because these areas have lost many populations and species of large fruit-eating mammals, which can move seeds longer distances. Also, the challenge for plants is greater there, because when climate conditions change in relatively flat landscapes, species must move farther north to keep cool. In contrast, an alpine plant (高山植物) only has to move uphill to get to a cooler climate.
The situation could get worse. In another analysis, the researchers predicted what might happen if currently threatened and endangered seed-dispersing birds and mammals go extinct. This would reduce a plant’s ability to keep up with climate change by another 15%.
However, some of the damage can be repaired by connecting isolated habitats. That will better allow species to move in response to climate change. Reintroducing large animals to their former ranges could also help, because they can move seeds long distances.
“This is a very loud wake up call for urgent conservation efforts” of fruit-eating and seed-dispersing animals, says ecologist Rodolfo Dirzo. “What’s important,”he says, “is not just preventing extinction, but keeping populations big enough to help many plants reproduce.”
1. Which of the following is a threat to Earth’s forests
A. Warming climate.
B. Loss of biodiversity.
C. Migration of animals.
D. Disappearance of seeds.
2. What does the underlined word “dispersed” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. reaped B. spread C. planted D. sowed
3. The reason for some plants becoming less able to adapt to climate change is that ____.
A. they lack proper means of spreading the seeds
B. the average temperatures have dropped by 60%
C. plants in temperate areas are logged to extinction
D. it’s difficult for plants to move in rugged landscapes
4. According to Dirzo, what should be prioritized to repair the damage done to the plants
A. Moving seeds over long distances systematically.
B. Introducing foreign fruit-eating animals into the habitat.
C. Save the threatened and endangered species from dying out.
D Taking actions to keep the population of seed-dispersing animals.

What do Ikea founder Ingvar Kamprad, Sir Richard Branson, Billionaire investor Charles Schwab, Walt Disney, and Henry Ford have in common All are or were successful entrepreneurs with dyslexia — a learning disorder that makes it very difficult to read, write, and spell. People with dyslexia have trouble connecting the letters they see to the sounds they make and as a result, often struggle in school.
But in the real world, they make great achievements. They’re behind some of the most successful companies on Earth.
Richard Branson is one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time. He created numerous businesses under the Virgin umbrella and has a net worth of $5 billion. Branson once admitted that Virgin which now employs 90,000 people would not have been successful had he not been dyslexic. Branson had a hard time keeping up with his peers because of his dyslexia and dropped out at the age of 16. Yet he transformed his weakness into an advantage. He understood the importance of communicating well. And his dyslexia also forced him to delegate tasks to those who excelled in the areas where he was weak.
Research has found people with dyslexia are more likely to delegate authority and also twice as likely to own two or more businesses. A study out of Cass Business School in London found more than a third of American entrepreneurs surveyed showed signs of dyslexia. Another commissioned by the BBC found 40% of that country’s self-made millionaires showed some signs of the learning disability. That’s significantly higher than the estimated 5% to 10% of the general population with some degree of dyslexia.
The question is: Are their entrepreneurial strengths a result of nature or nurture A dyslexia expert believes they are naturally better at certain things, like picking up social cues. In an article in The Sacramento Bee about California governor Gavin Newsom who has dyslexia, Dr. Marilu Gorno-Tempini of UC San Francisco said, “He can understand what people need and their emotions more than others. I don’t think that’s a compensation. I think that’s the superpower of his dyslexic brain.” She and other scientists at UC San Francisco recently discovered children with the disorder had greater changes in heart rate and facial behavior when they viewed video clips of others experiencing emotions compared to children without dyslexia.
Eleanor Palser, one of the researchers who conducted the study, concluded to Newsthink, “This tells us that dyslexia might be associated with biological differences in empathy(移情)...”
1. Why are some famous people mentioned in Paragraph 1
A. To demonstrate their problems.
B. To advertise their products.
C To show their achievements.
D. To introduce the topic.
2. Which of the following is TRUE about Richard Branson in Paragraph 3
A. He never gave up studying during adolescence.
B. Dyslexia prevented him from being more successful.
C. He worked hard to improve his communication skills.
D. Dyslexia drove him to appoint people to suitable posts.
3. Which of the following does Dr. Marilu Gorno-Tempini probably agree with
A. Dyslexia might be associated with biological differences in empathy.
B. Gavin’s ability to understand others’ emotions compensates for his disability.
C. Children with dyslexia underwent more physical changes when watching videos.
D. Those who have dyslexia develop their ability to read others’ emotions by nurture.
4. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. How People With Dyslexia Succeed in life.
B. How Successful Entrepreneurs Overcome Dyslexia.
C. Why People With Dyslexia Are Extremely Empathetic.
D. Why So Many Successful Entrepreneurs Have Dyslexia.

Dear Chris,
I am so glad to hear from you. The coming-of-age ceremony was held in our school on June 8th this month. During the coming-of-age ceremony, the headmaster congratulated us on stepping into the adult, reviewing the growth period that we had experienced. After that, we all watched the video of alumnus fighting against the epidemic.
Through the activity, what I felt is that I am able to shoulder the responsibility and make us stronger and more determined. When faced with the difficulties and failures, I must overcome them. In the future, I will be a good doctor to heal the wounded and rescue the dying, devoting myself to my work.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Jin
