23、ementary schools in and around the small town of 100-Mile House, British Columbia, were warming up and walking the route through thick evergreen forest. I looked around and finally saw David standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for ten years old, with messy red hair. But his
24、usual big toothy grin was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasnt with the other children. The only response he gave me was he had decided not to run. What was wrong? He had worked so hard for this event! Davids cerebral palsy (脑瘫) prevented him from walking or running like other chil
25、dren, but at school his peers thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. It just took him longer. He had stubbornly run a total of twenty three kilometres in practice runs to prepare for that days two-and-a-half-kilometre run, and
26、he had asked me to come and watch. We sat down together on some steps, but David wouldnt look at me.I quietly said, “David, if you dont want to run today, no one is going to make you. But if youre not running because youre afraid someone is going to laugh, thats not a good enough reason. There will
27、always be someone who will laugh and say mean things. Are you going to let them get in your way? If you really want to run, David, then you run!” I held my breath as David took this in. Then he looked at the field and said, “Im gonna run.”The starters gun sounded. But he had only gone a few metres b
28、efore he tripped and fell flat on the ground. My heart sank. As I started to shout encouragement, David picked himself up and started again. All the other runners had disappeared over the hill. But it didnt matter. He had worked for it, and he wouldnt give up! I waited anxiously by the finish line a
29、s the most runners completed and another race had begun. Still no David! I started to feel sick. Had I done the wrong thing? Could he have become lost? Finally, a small figure emerged from the forest. David raised his arms in triumph as he crossed the finish line to wild cheers and applause. He caug

32、ll us about Davids _.A. competence in finishing a runB. positive attitude towards lifeC. ability to win cheers and applauseD. efforts to catch others attentionCMaking use of the wind, the water or, for more than half of all plant species, animals, plants disperse (散播) seeds far and wide. Frugivores
33、animals such as gibbons that feed on the fleshy fruits of plants eat and then excrete (排泄) seeds away from the original tree. The African savanna elephant can carry seeds up to a record-breaking distance of 65 kilometres. This ability to shift geographical ranges will be crucial to plants when it co
34、mes to surviving climate change. However, just like all gibbon species, the African savanna elephant is endangered, its population down by 60 percent over the past 50 years.Researchers in Denmark and the USA have published a new study into how the loss of seed-dispersing animals could affect the res
35、ilience (恢复力) of forests and other natural ecosystems. According to their research, this loss has already reduced the ability of plants to move in pace with climate change by 60 percent, and in some areas by as much as 95 percent.Evan Fricke, lead author of the study, explains that in order to reach
36、 these results, they pulled together existing data from all previous studies and used machine learning to develop models that could estimate the seed dispersal potential of any animal, even ones that are now extinct.The researchers found that, historically, the decline of seed-dispersing animals has
37、 had the greatest influence on plants across the temperate (温带的) regions of North and South America, Europe and southern Australia. “Our temperate ecosystems have lost a lot of the natural seed-dispersal function that they would have had.” explains Fricke, referring to large mammals that were once w
38、idespread in these regions. Nevertheless, the poor conservation status of many seed-dispersing tropical animals puts plants in regions such as Southeast Asia and Madagascar most at risk today. Without the preservation of such animals, global seed dispersal could decline by a further 15 percent. “The
39、 direct implication of this decline is that many plant species will be unable to keep pace with a changing climate,” says Fricke. “That means the potential loss not only of plant biodiversity but of the ecosystem functions that those plants provide.”As wildlife is lost, plants can no longer adapt an
40、d survive and forests become less sustainable, which reduces the amount of carbon they can store. They also lose their ability to support wildlife. Whole ecosystems are disrupted. The conclusion, Fricke says, is clear: we must conserve currently endangered species and restore the populations of impo
41、rtant seed dispersers. “Independent of climate change, rewilding has the potential to benefit our ecosystems, but in a changing climate, it has the added benefit of increasing the climate resilience of those ecosystems,” he says.28. The author mentions the African savanna elephant in Paragraph 1 is

What does Fricke conclude from the study?A. plants disperse seeds by way of animals excreting them.B. rewilding can promote the climate resilience of our ecosystems.C. seed-dispersing animals could hardly
43、 affect the natural ecosystems.D. the loss of seed-dispersing animals has little influence on temperate regions.30. Which would be the best title of the passage?A. The Resilience of EcosystemsB The Conservation of Seed-dispersing AnimalsC. Animals That Spread Seeds Are Essential And Under ThreatD. A
44、nimals That Spread Seeds Are Endangered And Well ProtectedDWeve heard for years that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But, it actually might be even more important than previously thought, according to a study published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, which
45、examined the effects of skipping meals and meal frequency as related to mortality (死亡率) and heart health.The study, which was published in August of last year, sought to find out if eating behaviors like meal frequency, meal skipping, and time between meals were associated with all-cause and cardiov
46、ascular disease (CVD) mortality.The study consisted of 24,011 adults 40 years or older who participated from 1999 to 2014. Researchers looked at various eating behaviors of participants who self-reported their eating habits every 24 hours. Causes of death were tracked via death records through Decem
47、ber 31, 2015.After examining participants throughout the years, researchers found that certain eating behaviors were in fact linked to higher rates of premature death. Eating only one meal per day was associated with an increased risk of all-cause and CVD mortality while skipping breakfast was linke
48、d to an increased risk of CVD mortality, and skipping lunch or dinner was linked to an increased risk of all-cause mortality. Lastly, the study found that having meals too closely together (less than four and half hours apart) was also linked to all-cause premature death.So, what does this mean for the average person? “At the end of the day what matters is that an individual can meet their nutritional needs for optimal (最佳) health,” explai
