26、 We’ve all fantasized about it—after a rough day at work, stuck in traffic with commuters (上下班的人) we’d rather not have in our personal space, and bills to pay, plus the sound of the crying baby in the apartment next door．How nice would it be to go solo and live on an island of one, population: me?
Well, this is the reality for 84 year old Elsie Eiler of Monowi, Nebraska．She is the sole resident of her hometown, which is the smallest recognized locality in the United States．
Looking back at the 2000 census (人口普查), the town used to have another resident: Elsie’s husband Rudy．Since he died in 2004, Elsie has lived in the town by herself．She considers herself to be the mayor, treasurer, and town librarian． Her main source of income is the bar that is frequented by truckers and other people passing through—the Monowi Tavern, which she founded with her late husband back in 1971 ． She received a lot of public attention after it was discovered that she was the sole resident of Monowi, and in an interview she stated that many visitors from around the world have come to meet her in Monowi．
When asked if she ever gets lonely, she said “I know I could always move closer to my children or stay with them whenever I want, but then I’d have to make all new friends again．Hopefully I will be able to stay here．It’s where I want to be.”
【1】The Monowi Tavern is the name of _______．

Send used books to deployed soldiers
A great way to honor and support our troops is to donate books to Books for Soldiers. This non-profit allows users to sign into a database and receive book requests from individual soldiers. Mail-call days are some of the most highly expected events for them. 【1】
Give them to the nation's poorest communities
Reader to Reader's impact has been incredibly wide-reaching and impressive.【2】.

By donating your books here, you'll make a huge impact in America's struggling cities.
Help prisoners get an education
Books for Prisoners is a non-profit student organization based at the University of California. San Diego. This incredible program donates books and resources to inmates from all over the country. Individual inmates write to the organization, often requesting specific books, dictionaries, and textbooks for their studies. Books for Prisoners, in turn, sends the requested materials in the hopes of furthering their education and helping to turn their lives around.【3】. So you can help make their goals a reality by donating your used books.

28、 Humans have always been curious about what Earth was like thousands of years ago. To learn more about the plants and animals that lived during that time, scientists examine their fossils or other remains. In recent years, genetics, and in particular the the study of DNA, has become an important tool for these scientists. Some people even dream of bringing ancient creatures such as dinosaurs back to life. Although no animals have been brought back yet, scientists have managed to grow a number of ancient plants from seeds. By far theoldest of these plants is a 32,000-year-old plant that has been grown again by Russian scientists.
The plant is a flower called Silenestenophylla, which used to grow in Siberia in eastern Russia. The scientists discovered seeds and fruits of the plant buried deep below the ground. They believe the seeds and fruits were put there by an ancient animal which stored them to eat during the winter. The seeds that scientists found failed to grow because they were damaged. However, the scientists were able to take genetic material from the fruit to grow a new plant. Then, this plant produced new seeds which the scientists were able to use to grow more plants.
A modern relative of the original flower still grows in Siberia, but when the ancient flower was grown, it had some important differences from the modern flower. The petals on the ancient flower were much longer and also spaced further apart. Studying the ancient flower will allow the scientists to learn more about how plants have evolved.
Before this, the oldest seed to have been grown was from a 2,000-year-year-old tree in Israel. The Russian scientists believe the reason why the Siberian seeds were preserved for so long is that they were buried in permanently frozen earth, which protected the genetic information in the seeds. The scientists believe that the permanently frozen soil in Siberia contains many other ancient seeds, so they may be able to bring back even older plants. This will help them better understand the history of plants and how they have changed over time.
【1】Recently, scientist have ________.
A.been able to bring a number of ancient animals back to life
B.begun using genetics to learn more about ancient plants and animals
C.started to create a dinosaur that could live on Earth today
D.tried to create new types of fossils to study how animals used to live
【2】How were Russian scientists able to grow Silenestenophylla?
A.They used genetic material from an ancient fruit they discovered.
B.They used ancient seeds that they had found deep below the ground.
C.They planted the seeds deep in the ground to protect them during the cold winter.
D.They planted fruit in a new kind of container that they had specially designed.
【3】What is one thing the Russian scientists learned by comparing the ancient plant with its modern relative?
A.The plant used to produce fewer flowers than it produces now.
B.The plant has evolved to have shorter petals on its flowers.
C.The ancient plant was a different color from its modern relative.
D.The modern plant is found across a wider area of Russia than the ancient one.
【4】The Russian scientists believe that ________.
A.it is unlikely that they can grow plants from seeds that are over 2,000 years old
B.ancient seeds that were kept in Israel will be easier to grow than Russian seeds
C.they will be able to grow plants in areas where the earth is permanently frozen
D.the frozen soil in Siberia is able to keep the DNA of plants safe for a long time
【5】Which of the following statements is true?
A.Russian scientists would like to use frozen earth to protect seeds.
B.Human DNA can be used to help scientists learn more about the genetic history of plants.
C.The fruit and seeds of Silenestenophylla may have been buried by an ancient animal.
