27、 There's nothing better than a walk in the countryside for lifting our spirits. Connecting with nature has been proven to help our mental health. For some, the best medicine is to take a walk through a forest, but as we admire the trees that surround us. It's worth knowing these trees are doing more than just being nice things to look at.
We’re already aware of the healing properties of trees—they produce oxygen and clean the air we breathe by absorbing about a quarter of all human-caused carbon dioxide emissions. But there's more to these impressive forms of plants than we might think. Researchers have discovered evidence that proves they are actually clever.
It's thought that trees talk and share resources right under our feet, using a fungal network. Under the ground are tree roots, and “communication” among them, along with bacteria, are thousands of superfine hyphae. And research has shown that they are all interconnected. They can help each other by sharing nutrients, and can even warn of approaching threats. Scientists say its like the trees are talking to one another.
Ecologist Suzanne Simard has called this network the Wood Wide Web. She discovered that parent trees use this network to help their offspring. Speaking to the BBC, she said: “We found that the parent trees would favour those seedlings that were of their own kind” by sending them more nutrients. She also found that trees are smart enough to change their behaviour and have managed to adapt and survive in a changing environment.
So it seems trees really are the stars of our natural world, and with around three trillion of them on our planet, it's time to show them some respect if we want them to flourish.
【1】How do trees help improve the air quality?
A.By taking in carbon dioxide emissions.
B.By taking on a nice and clean look.
C.By share resources right under the ground.
D.By communicating with each other.
【2】What is the key to the interconnection of trees?
A.Roots.
B.Sunshine.
C.Water.
D.Hyphae.
【3】What does the underlined word “offspring” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Friends.
B.Sisters.
C.Neighbors.
D.Children.
【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.How Trees Help
B.Intelligent Trees
C.Stars of Our Natural World
D.Properties of Trees
28、Joe got the idea to make the world a better place at school. He watched a video there concerning a factory. This factory produced a lot of trash and put it in a river. The trash and water were a bad mix. People populated the area by the river and drank its water, which made them sick. Many of them needed medicine and made regular visits to doctors.
But the video wasn't all bad news. It showed ways to pick up trash and why it's important to do this. It said people can make a difference to their environment. The video's important features made Joe associate trash with hurting people.
One day, Joe walked through a park. He recognized some of the problems from the video. One instance of these problems was the trash in the pond. It was full of plastic cups and soft drink cans. There was too much trash. Joe didn't want it to hurt anyone.
He told his grandfather about the park. His grandfather said, “You know, it's a tradition in our family to help people. That's why we give food to poor people. Maybe you can help people by cleaning the park.”
Cleaning the park would involve hard work. Joe shared the video with his relatives and friends and organized a group to help him. He chose a wide area of the park. It had the most trash. On Saturday, he gave everyone a sharp stick. They wondered why. He said, “You use the stick's tip to pick up trash. This makes it easier.” They worked for six weeks. Different people helped each time, but Joe was always there with them and told visitors there about the importance of environmental protection.
With their efforts, Joe saw a range of results. The pond was clear enough for people to swim in. Joe knew that was a good sign. He was delighted because he helped his environment.

29、Before movies had voices, they had music. From silent films to today’s computer-generated ones, film composers use the score to help tell the story.
Music Manipulates (影响) Emotions
The most obvious role music plays in movies is in manipulating the audience’s emotions and bringing them the desired feelings. 【1】 Philip Ball, author of The Music Instinct, says our brain is born to respond in emotional ways. He says, “Our response to certain kinds of noise is something so strong in us that we can’t switch it off. Film composers know that and use it to shortcut the logical part of our brain and get straight to the emotional centers.”
Music Gets Us in the Mood
The first bars of music in a movie usually establish its style. The low sound of an organ communicates a different atmosphere than light electronica playing a quick tune. 【2】 The music telegraphs whether something is serious, adventurous, joyful or amusing.
Music Introduces People, Places and Things
Music helps viewers understand the story, a trick filmmakers picked up from operas, etc. 【3】 A recent example of this can be found in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, in which, quick music is played for the Hobbits, while the fellowship gets romantically heroic music.
【4】
Movies rely on music to help establish time period, location, cultural heritage or social standing. Using Baroque-style music sets a scene in the 18th century. Back to the Future used Huey Lewis’ The Power of Love for its “present day” scenes and such songs as Earth Angel and Johnny B. Goode for its scenes in the past. 【5】 For example, music that audience thinks to be Russian can set something in Moscow even if the music is actually American in origin.
A.Music places us in time and space.
B.Music doesn’t have to be real for this to be effective.
C.Music enables people to forget about time and space.
D.Composers use music to predict and connect the story.
E.Film composers create theme music for characters, situations or places.
F.The selection of certain sounds creates feelings of happiness, fear or even panic.
G.Film composers carefully choose instruments and sounds to set a mood for each scene.
