Are you a man or a mouse? When people ask this question they want to know whether you think you are a 36 person or a coward (懦夫). But you will never really know the answer to this question 37 you are tested in real life. Some people think they are brave, but when they come face to face with real 38 , they act like cowards. Others think of themselves as cowards, but when they meet danger, they act like heroes.
Lenny had always thought of himself as a 39 person. He got worried before examinations. He worried about his job and health. All he wanted in life was to be safe and healthy. Then on January 15th, 2002, a plane crashed into the Potomac River in Washington. Lenny happened to see a woman in the ice-cold water. He did not feel afraid. He 40 very calm and did a very dangerous thing. He jumped into the Potomac, 41 to the woman, and kept her head 42 the water. Seventy-eight people died that day. Thanks to Lenny, it was not 43 .
When you are in a very dangerous situation and feel afraid, the body automatically(自动地) produces a chemical called adrenalin in the blood. With adrenalin in the blood system, you actually feel stronger and stronger and are 44 to fight or run away. However, when you are terrified greatly, the body can produce too much adrenalin. 45 this happens, the muscles become very hard. You are then paralyzed (麻木) with fear. This is why when we are extremely frightened, we sometimes say we are “petrified”. This word 46 a Greek word “petros”, which means “stone”. We are 47 frightened that we become stonelike.

Man-made Causes
Man-made causes probably do the most damage. There are many man-made causes. 21 is one of the biggest man-made problems. Pollution 22 in many shapes and sizes. Burning fossil fuels is one thing that causes pollution. Fossil(化石) fuels(燃料)are fuels made of organic matter such as coal, or oil. when fossil fuels are burned they 23 a green house gas called CO2. Also mining coal and oil allows methane to escape. How does it escape? Methane(甲烷)is 24 in the ground. 25 coal or oil is mined you have to dig up the earth a little. When you dig up the fossil fuels you dig up the methane as well.
Another major man-made 26 of Global Warming is population. More people 27 more food, and more methods of transportation, right? That means more methane because 28 will be more burning of fossil fuels, 29 more agriculture. Now you’re probably thinking, “Wait a minute, you said agriculture is going to be damaged by Global Warming, but 30 you’re saying agriculture is going to help cause Global Warming?” Well, have you 31 been in a barn filled with animals and you smell something 32 ? You re 33 methane. Another source of methane is manure. Because more food is needed we have to raise food. Animals like cows are a source of food which means more manure and methane. Another problem 34 the increasing population is 35 . More people means more cars, and more cares means more pollution. Also, many people have more than one car.
Since CO2 contributes to global warming, the increase in population makes the problem worse because we breathe out CO2. 36 , the trees that change our CO2 to oxygen are being demolished because we’re using the land that we cut the trees down from as property 37 our homes and buildings. We are not replacing the trees(an important part of our ecosystem), so we are 38 taking 39 of our natural resources and giving nothing back in 40 .

Sharks have lived in the oceans for over 450 million years, long before dinosaurs appeared. There are now about 360 of sharks, whose size, behavior, and other characteristics differ widely.
Every year, we catch and kill over 100 million sharks, for food and for their fins. Dried shark fins are used to make shark fin soup, which sells for as much as $50 a bowl in fine Hong Kong . Other sharks are killed for sport and out of fear. Sharks are vulnerable(脆弱的) to overfishing because it most species 10 to 15 years to begin reproducing and they produce only a few offspring.
by movies and popular novels, most people see sharks as people-eating monsters. This is far from the . Every year, a few types of shark injure about 100 people worldwide and kill about 25. Most are by great white sharks, which often feed on sea lions and other marine mammals. They sometimes mistake human swimmers for their normal prey, if they are wearing black wet suits.
If you are a typical ocean-goer, your of being killed by an unprovoked （无缘无故的）attack by a shark are about 1 in 100 million. You are more to be killed by a pig than a shark and thousands of times more likely to get killed when you drive a car.
Sharks help human lives. In addition to providing people with food, they are helping us learn how to cancer, bacteria, and viruses. Sharks are very healthy and have aging processes similar to ours. Their highly effective immune system wounds to heal quickly without becoming infected, and their blood is being studied in connection with AIDS research.

We have known for a long time that flowers of different plants open and close at different times of day. This is so 1 that there seems to be no need to ask the reason for it. Yet no one 2 understands why flowers open and close like this at particular times. The process is not as 3 as we might think, as recent experiments have shown. In one study, flowers were kept in constant 4 . We might expect that the flowers, without any information about the time of day, did not open as they 5 do. As a matter of fact, they 6 to open at their usual time. This suggests that they have some mysterious(神秘的) way of k
