It is only during the last few years that man has generally realized that in the world of nature a balance exists between all forms of life. No living thing can exist by itself: it is a part of a system (体系) in which all forms of 
life are joined together. If we change one part of the natural order, this will in its turn almost certainly bring about changes in some other part.
The cutting down of forests reduces the supply of oxygen. The killing of weeds and insects by chemicals leads to the wide spread poisoning of animals and birds. The throwing of waste products into the ocean harm to life in the sea, while waste gases change the chemical balance of the atmosphere.
And so we could go on, adding more examples, until in despair (绝望) we might feel like giving up the struggle to control and keep within limits these harmful human activities. Man is very clever at changing the world around him to satisfy his immediate needs, but not so clever at looking far ahead, or at thinking about what the future results of
his action might be.The first paragraph mainly tells us that __________.

| B．no living thing can exist naturally |
| C．all living things in nature depend on each other |
| D．man has well known the importance of the balance for a long time |

| C．all forms of life belong to a system in which all the part can be changed for one another |
D．we cannot change one form of life or matter without disturbing (扰乱) the balance of nature |
In the second paragraph the underlined word “atmosphere” means __________.
| A．the production of chemical factories | B．the gas in the outer space |
| C．the mixture of gases that surrounds the earth | D．the health of the human body |

| A．man shouldn’t think only about his immediate needs without enough thought on the future results |
| B．man is very clever in planning his distant future |
| C．man often feels that he has to give up in despair |
| D．man is always anxious to control and keep his actives within limits |
My husband and children think they are very lucky that they are living and that it’s Christmas again. They can’t see that we live on a dirty street in a dirty house among people who aren’t much good. But Johnny and children can’t see this. What a pity it is that our neighbours have to make happiness out of all this dirt. I decided that my children must get out of this. The money that we’ve saved isn’t nearly enough.
The McGaritys have money but they are so proud. They look down upon the poor. The McGarity girl just yesterday stood out there in the street eating from a bag of candy(糖果)while a ring of hungry children watched her. I saw those children looking at her and crying in their hearts; and when she couldn’t eat any more she threw the rest down the sewer(下水道). Why, is it only because they have money ? There is more to happiness than money in the world, isn’t there?
Miss Jackson who teaches at the Settlement House isn’t rich, but she knows things. She understands people. Her eyes look straight into yours when she talks with you. She can read your mind.
